Hi all,
The attached e-mail seems to be about a problem using a library compiled
with an unregisterised ghc with a registerised ghc. The linking step is
giving many "undefined reference to `stg_ap_p_ret'"s (with various
numbers of 'p's) as well as a few to `GHCziIOBase_zdWIO_entry', and
possible others I didn't spot, while compiling haskelldb with a
registerised ghc 6.4.1, where haskelldb depends on hsql, which was
compiled with an unregisterised ghc 6.4.1.
Is this expected behaviour? i.e. should I just make sure I don't change
which arches are registerised within a GHC version?
If so, would a library compiled with a registerised ghc being used
by an unregisterised ghc also cause problems?
Or have I got the problem completely wrong?
Based on a quick look at the GHC source, the missing symbols seem to be
due to this, in ghc/rts/Linker.c :
#ifdef TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE
#define RTS_RET_SYMBOLS /* nothing */
#else
#define RTS_RET_SYMBOLS \
[...]
SymX(stg_ap_p_ret) \
[...]
#endif
being toggled due to this, in ghc/includes/RtsConfig.h :
#if !defined(USE_MINIINTERPRETER) && !defined(ia64_HOST_ARCH) && !defined
(powerpc64_HOST_ARCH)
#define TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE
#endif
in turn due to this, in ghc/includes/Makefile :
ifeq "$(GhcUnregisterised)" "YES"
SRC_CC_OPTS += -DNO_REGS -DUSE_MINIINTERPRETER
endif
Thanks
Ian

Hi,
haskelldb is failing on amd64 and ghc could possibly have a part in this.
I think you should be informed as well, sorry I didn't think to CC the
other emails. I hope that in case there's something wrong with ghc6, maybe
you can easily guess :) In particular, reading haskelldb changelod I
noticed "Update dependencies for ghc6 6.4.1". Could it be something related
to the last ghc6 uploads? However, could you please take a look below? Thanks,
Roberto

Thanks a lot, Björn. I confirm I got the url wrong, sorry.
Now, let's hope to hear some feedback from the GHC guys =)
