Re: Debugging the RTS

Hi Eric, definitely not bit-rotted - the #if DEBUG code is what you get when you compile with -debug. Short roadmap: In general, GHC is built in many ways, the -debug way is one. Some ways (like -threaded, -eventlog, -debug) are RTS-only, others (like -prof) lead to different library code.

Re: Non-deterministic package IDs are really bad in 7.10

I'd like to add a +1 to getting this fixed. It bites us at work, where exact binary reproducibility of builds is strongly desirable. Regards, Malcolm On 14 May 2015, at 17:38, George Colpitts wrote: Currently the priority of #4012 is normal, shouldn't it be at least high? Also the

Debugging the RTS

Hi all, I'm trying to debug a AArch64/Linux specific RTS issue and digging around in the rts C code, I see a large amount of code wrapped in #if DEBUG type statements, but no way to enable in either mk/build.mk or it seems in any of the other build related settings files in the mk/ directory.
