RE: Building ghc on Windows with msys2

I think I’m fairly behind on the current build process of GHC, but as I do use GHC mainly on Windows, at such a time as you would like to move on to other things, I would certainly throw my hat In the ring. That sounds helpful, thank you. Are we at the point where we could form a GHC-on-Windows

Better to continue on ghc-devs; that way others have visibility of what is going on. Simon From: Gintautas Miliauskas [mailto:gintautas.miliaus...@gmail.com] Sent: 09 October 2014 10:29 To: Simon Peyton Jones Cc: Neil Mitchell; Randy Polen; Roman Kuznetsov; loneti...@gmail.com; ghc-devs@haskell

RE: Tentative high-level plans for 7.10.1

I’m with John wrt. the discussions on LTS and the 7.8.4 release being orthogonal. Especially if 7.8 does not have submodules and if this is a pain, there’s also no reason to backport our approach to LTS into 7.8. In other words, 7.10 could also be the first LTS version. Ph. From: John Lato

One small question I have is this: why's it called a comma list? On Oct 8, 2014 12:33 PM, "Alan & Kim Zimmerman" wrote: > I am currently working annotations into the parser, provided them as a > separate structure at the end of the parse, indexed to the original by > SrcSpan and AST element type.

Re: Capturing commas in Api Annotations (D297)

It is a structure proposed to capture extra commas in record declarations, which I have abused for use here. I have subsequently realised that I am using it to capture EVERY comma, and sometimes semicolons, so its naming is even worse for my use. Hence I am pretty sure it is something that should

Since this came up on IRC on #ghc, yes, modern OS X 10.9 and 10.10 can run 32bit executables. (for some reason certain folks seem to think they're only runnable on <= 10.6 ) (plus apparently if you wanna hot patch certain program such as dropbox, those are written in 32bit form so you need 32bit
