Summary:
I noticed that the highlights do not highlight the breaking changes first,
so I re-ordered them to what - to me, as a general and not power-user of
ghc - seems a more sensible order.

Should I have opened a ticket for this?

Test Plan: This is a doc change.

The `configure` script checks for presence of `install-sh` even if
it's not used, so we simply add it to the distribution to make `configure`
happy.

This avoids the annoying conundrum explained in #9956 - for the 7.10
release, we'll keep (silently) supporting this flag so -Werror doesn't
trip anything up.

Really, we could just say 'deal with it' to users probably, but the fix
is painless and does remove a sharp corner.

Erik de Castro Lopo authored 10 years ago and thoughtpolice committed 10 years ago

Summary:
Commit 71fcc4c0 breaks the 64bit build on Solaris 11. Solaris
is a multi-lib OS so both 32bit and 64bit binaries may  be run, but
by default it compiles to 32bit so that -m64 needs to be added in
the appropriate place when compiling for 64 bits.

(cherry picked from commit 83afcd17)

Erik de Castro Lopo authored 10 years ago and thoughtpolice committed 10 years ago

Fixes #8976 and #9873 by making use of the Binutils ld.gold
linker explicit whenever the target is linux/ARM or android/ARM.
This does not affect iOS where Apple provides its own linker.

In order to achieve this, we need to add `-fuse-ld=gold` to
the SettingsCCompilerLinkFlags setting and set
SettingsLdCommand to `ld.gold` (or `${target}-ld.gold` when
cross-compiling). In addition, simplifying the use of
`$(CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGEn)`.

This patch was tested by ensuring that the following worked
as expected:

  * Native builds on linux/x86_64 (nothing changed).
  * Native builds on linux/arm (and uses the gold linker).
  * Linux to linux/arm cross compiles (and uses the cross
    gold linker).

Thomas Miedema authored 10 years ago and thoughtpolice committed 10 years ago

Parsing of static and mode flags happens before any session is started,
i.e., before the first call to 'GHC.withGhc'. Therefore, to report
errors for invalid usage of these two types of flags, we can not call
any function that needs DynFlags, as there are no DynFlags available yet
(unsafeGlobalDynFlags is not set either). So we always print "on the
commandline" as the location, which is true except for Api users, which
is probably ok.

When reporting errors for invalid usage of dynamic flags we /can/ make
use of DynFlags, and we do so explicitly in
DynFlags.parseDynamicFlagsFull.

Before, we called unsafeGlobalDynFlags when an invalid (combination of)
flag(s) was given on the commandline, resulting in panics (#9963). This
regression was introduced in 1d6124de.

Also rename showSDocSimple to showSDocUnsafe, to hopefully prevent this
from happening again.

(cherry picked from commit 11314b93)

Peter Trommler authored 10 years ago and Herbert Valerio Riedel committed 10 years ago

Some ELF link editors default to `--as-needed` and record only
those libraries in DT_NEEDED tags that are needed to resolve
undefined symbols in the shared object to be created.

In Template Haskell we rely on all symbols that were defined
in modules compiled so far to be available in the current
temporary shared object. To prevent the link editor from
dropping the DT_NEEDED tag for the previously linked temporary
shared object we need to override the link editors default and
specify `--no-as-needed` on the command line. This is for GNU ld
and GOLD ld.

This addresses #10110

TODO: regression test

(cherry picked from commit 1b7f5976)

Thomas Miedema authored 10 years ago and Herbert Valerio Riedel committed 10 years ago

If one runs the testsuite with a profiling compiler, during the import
of `testlib.py`, `testlib.py` sets the global variable `gs_working`. To
do so, it executes a few statements which require the function
`strip_quotes` to be in scope. But that function only gets defined at
the very end of testlib.py.

This patch moves the definition of `strip_quotes` to testutil.py, which
is imported at the very top of testlib.py. This unbreaks the nightly
builders.
