Thanks a lot, Tamar! I'll make the PR for Hadrian once my patch is accepted.

[Simon Jakobi via ghc-devs]

Thanks for the reminder, Tamar!

I have just created https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4679. I would be
very grateful if you could test it on 32bit Windows.

Cheers,
Simon

 Given that it's EOL'd, dropping Vista sounds reasonable to me.

 Tamar, any objection?

[Phyx]

Hi Simon,

Whatever happened to this? The wiki was updated but I don't see a commit
actually removing vista support.

Did you end up not doing this anymore?

Thanks,
Tamar

That's also my experience on appveyor (but I'm not compiling GHC itself):

https://github.com/LambdaHack/LambdaHack/blob/master/appveyor.yml#L50

Both versions of msys2 are present and I need to set path to the 32 version
to compile for 32bit. In this way I'm able to generate both 64bit
and 32bit binaries in a single appveyor run.

I've failed repeatedly to do a 32bit build via mingw32 on my 64bit Windows
box and I don't have access to a 32bit Windows install.

Is there CI for the 32bit Windows version that I could rely on?

Thanks,
Simon

Thanks everyone!

No objections, however do make sure to test both 32 and 64 bit builds of
ghc when you use the API, it's new enough and rare enough that it may not
be implemented in both mingw-64 tool chains (we've had similar issues
before).

Given that it's EOL'd, dropping Vista sounds reasonable to me.

Tamar, any objection?
