Allow --make and --fno-code
Loading a largish project in ghci is roughly twice as fast as using ghc --make
(and hugs is roughly 6 times faster than ghci). Presumably the majority of the extra time that ghc --make
takes compared to ghci
is down to generating object code, though some will be serialising .hi
files.
So the feature request is to let us use ghc --make -fno-code
. The purpose is to check the code for errors, it would of course write out .hi
files so that re-running ghc --make -fno-code
only recompiles the changed files, like :reload
in ghci.
