#7083: Reduce the likelihood of x64/x86-64 changes breaking the build on other arches ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: task | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.5 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by simonmar):
* difficulty: => Unknown Comment: @tibbe yes, we have been moving in that direction, in particular a GHC build contains all the native code generators, with the one exception that the choice between x86 and x86_64 is still a compile-time decision. A lot of the work that Ian has been doing lately is heading towards making the backend a runtime decision, but there's still some way to go. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7083#comment:4> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
