Description

Dynamic flags

Most flags are dynamic flags, which means they can change from compilation to compilation using OPTIONS_GHC pragmas, and in a multi-session GHC each session can be using different dynamic flags. Dynamic flags can also be set at the prompt in GHCi.

data HscTarget Source

The target code type of the compilation (if any).

Whenever you change the target, also make sure to set ghcLink to something sensible.

HscNothing can be used to avoid generating any output, however, note that:

  • This will not run the desugaring step, thus no warnings generated in this step will be output. In particular, this includes warnings related to pattern matching. You can run the desugarer manually using desugarModule.
  • If a program uses Template Haskell the typechecker may try to run code from an imported module. This will fail if no code has been generated for this module. You can use needsTemplateHaskell to detect whether this might be the case and choose to either switch to a different target or avoid typechecking such modules. (The latter may preferable for security reasons.)

Constructors

HscC

Generate C code.

HscAsm

Generate assembly using the native code generator.

HscLlvm

Generate assembly using the llvm code generator.

HscInterpreted

Generate bytecode. (Requires LinkInMemory)

HscNothing

Don't generate any code. See notes above.

isObjectTarget :: HscTarget -> BoolSource

Will this target result in an object file on the disk?

defaultObjectTarget :: HscTargetSource

The HscTarget value corresponding to the default way to create object files on the current platform.

data GhcMode Source

The GhcMode tells us whether we're doing multi-module compilation (controlled via the GHC API) or one-shot (single-module) compilation. This makes a difference primarily to the Finder: in one-shot mode we look for interface files for imported modules, but in multi-module mode we look for source files in order to check whether they need to be recompiled.

Constructors

CompManager

--make, GHCi, etc.

OneShot
ghc -c Foo.hs
MkDepend

ghc -M, see Finder for why we need this

data GhcLink Source

What to do in the link step, if there is one.

Constructors

NoLink

Don't link at all

LinkBinary

Link object code into a binary

LinkInMemory

Use the in-memory dynamic linker (works for both bytecode and object code).

LinkDynLib

Link objects into a dynamic lib (DLL on Windows, DSO on ELF platforms)

data Option Source

When invoking external tools as part of the compilation pipeline, we pass these a sequence of options on the command-line. Rather than just using a list of Strings, we use a type that allows us to distinguish between filepaths and 'other stuff'. The reason for this is that this type gives us a handle on transforming filenames, and filenames only, to whatever format they're expected to be on a particular platform.

Instances

fFlags :: [FlagSpec DynFlag]Source

These -f<blah> flags can all be reversed with -fno-<blah>

fWarningFlags :: [FlagSpec WarningFlag]Source

These -f<blah> flags can all be reversed with -fno-<blah>

fLangFlags :: [FlagSpec ExtensionFlag]Source

These -f<blah> flags can all be reversed with -fno-<blah>

xFlags :: [FlagSpec ExtensionFlag]Source

These -Xblah flags can all be reversed with -XNoblah

dynFlagDependencies :: DynFlags -> [ModuleName]Source

Some modules have dependencies on others through the DynFlags rather than textual imports

Safe Haskell

safeHaskellOn :: DynFlags -> BoolSource

Is Safe Haskell on in some way (including inference mode)

safeImportsOn :: DynFlags -> BoolSource

Test if Safe Imports are on in some form

safeLanguageOn :: DynFlags -> BoolSource

Is the Safe Haskell safe language in use

safeInferOn :: DynFlags -> BoolSource

Is the Safe Haskell safe inference mode active

packageTrustOn :: DynFlags -> BoolSource

Is the -fpackage-trust mode on

safeDirectImpsReq :: DynFlags -> BoolSource

Are all direct imports required to be safe for this Safe Haskell mode? Direct imports are when the code explicitly imports a module

safeImplicitImpsReq :: DynFlags -> BoolSource

Are all implicit imports required to be safe for this Safe Haskell mode? Implicit imports are things in the prelude. e.g System.IO when print is used.

System tool settings and locations

Manipulating DynFlags

defaultDynFlags :: Settings -> DynFlagsSource

The normal DynFlags. Note that they is not suitable for use in this form and must be fully initialized by newSession first.

initDynFlags :: DynFlags -> IO DynFlagsSource

Used by newSession to partially initialize a new DynFlags value

getOptsSource

Arguments

:: DynFlags

DynFlags to retrieve the options from

-> (DynFlags -> [a])

Relevant record accessor: one of the opt_* accessors

-> [a]

Correctly ordered extracted options

Retrieve the options corresponding to a particular opt_* field in the correct order

getVerbFlags :: DynFlags -> [String]Source

Gets the verbosity flag for the current verbosity level. This is fed to other tools, so GHC-specific verbosity flags like -ddump-most are not included

updOptLevel :: Int -> DynFlags -> DynFlagsSource

Sets the DynFlags to be appropriate to the optimisation level

Parsing DynFlags

parseDynamicFlagsCmdLineSource

Arguments

:: Monad m 
=> DynFlags 
-> [Located String] 
-> m (DynFlags, [Located String], [Located String])

Updated DynFlags, left-over arguments, and list of warnings.

Parse dynamic flags from a list of command line arguments. Returns the the parsed DynFlags, the left-over arguments, and a list of warnings. Throws a UsageError if errors occurred during parsing (such as unknown flags or missing arguments).

parseDynamicFilePragmaSource

Arguments

:: Monad m 
=> DynFlags 
-> [Located String] 
-> m (DynFlags, [Located String], [Located String])

Updated DynFlags, left-over arguments, and list of warnings.

Like parseDynamicFlagsCmdLine but does not allow the package flags (-package, -hide-package, -ignore-package, -hide-all-packages, -package-conf). Used to parse flags set in a modules pragma.

DynFlag C compiler options

Configuration of the stg-to-stg passes

Compiler configuration suitable for display to the user
