I get the errors when running the testsuite too, but I excerpted the earliest recache warning from my full validation run. The same tests consistently fail for me. I only get the errors when running the testsuite with BINDIST=YES, as expected. Geoff On 06/24/2013 12:49 PM, Jan Stolarek wrote:

The same tests consistently fail for me. Even if you run them separately with 'make TEST=failingTest'? I only get the errors when running the testsuite with BINDIST=YES, as expected. I'm running validation without BINDIST=YES at the moment, will run the second validation later. Where do you

I thought it was obvious that I only meant that it was reliable for me :) Reliable for me is a bit of oxymoron in the context of validating correctness of software :) I guess that's why I titled this thread Unreliability of the build system. I'm running ext4. Is there any method by which you

This argument is a little tenuous in my opinion. Markdown is very ill-specified formally speaking with many implementations (including our beloved Pandoc) featuring various extensions. It is not really a 'standard' in the typical sense. Pandoc actually only recently supported 'GitHub code

I'm not against adding this to GHC, but it's trivial to have it as a separate program (see my markdown-unlit [1]). Maybe the external program is more flexible when it comes to extending/bug fixing? But if you decide to add it to GHC, then please also add test cases for the proposed code. As a

Re: invoking front-end phases from within a GHC plugin?

Just a quick update: I patched a local copy of 7.6.3 to add FastString.string_table to the CoreMonad.reinitializeGlobals mechanism. After that change, I can invoke the front-end (parser,renamer,typechecker,desugarer) from within my plugin on a simple example. Original module: module Test where
