Due to a large amount of spam we do not allow new users to create repositories, they are "external" users. If you are a new user and want to create a repository, for example for forking GHC, open a new issue on ghc/ghc using the "get-verified" issue template

Plugins don't work with -fexternal-interpreter
Plugins don't work with -fexternal-interpreter. The current plan to fix this is to enable GHC to always use the internal interpreter for plugins, even when `-fexternal-interpreter` is given. `-fexternal-interpreter` only determines which interpreter is used for running Template Haskell splices. The following tasks have been identified: - [X] Support loading two different `UnitState` (available units): one for the target, one for plugins - [ ] Add command-line flags (`-plugin-package-db`, etc.) to build the plugins UnitState - [ ] Refactor many functions to explicitly pass Platform configuration (Platform, ways, etc.) as arguments. Currently we often pass `DynFlags` and callee functions implicitly use the `UnitState` of the target platform. It doesn't compose well and we want to be explicit about the platform we are using (target or host) (see also #17957). - [x] Pretty-printing of `Unit` (via its `Outputable` instance) implicitly queries the `UnitState` of the target platform (via `sdocWithDynFlags`). We need to remove this `Outputable` instance.
