Tools handling installed packages need to be able to interpret the

know the value of ${pkgroot}. With ghc-pkg this is not always obvious

we have arrived at is simply to emit the pkgroot as an extra field
when it is needed.

There are two cases:
 * --no-expand-pkgroot: ghc-pkg dump/describe will not expand the
   ${pkgroot} var, so it will appear literally in the output and the

 * --expand-pkgroot: ghc-pkg dump/describe will expand the ${pkgroot}
   and ${pkgrooturl} vars and will not generate the pkgroot field.

Implement ${pkgroot} spec, allows relocatable registered packages

Historically ghc implemented relocatable packages by allowing

this with its notion of $topdir. The topdir refers to where ghc
itself is installed (specifically the libdir).

   1) Postponing the application of instances when there
      is a possibility of a given matching. With the addition
      of prioritizing equalities this fixes #5002 and #4981.

   2) Implemented caching of flattening in constraint
      simplification. This improves efficiency (fixes #5030)

   3) Simplified pushing of unsolved wanteds
      (now pushing only equalities) inside implications.

12 years agoMake the GHCi linker handle partially stripped object files (#5004)
Duncan Coutts [Thu, 12 May 2011 15:25:41 +0000 (16:25 +0100)]
Make the GHCi linker handle partially stripped object files (#5004)

When you use 'strip --strip-unneeded' on a ELF format .o or .a file, if
the object file has no global/exported symbols then 'strip' ends up
removing the symbol table entirely. Previously the GHCi linker assumed
there would always be exactly one symbol table and exactly one string
table. In fact, in ELF object files there is no such limitation, instead
each section points to the other sections it needs, in particular
relocation sections have a link to the symbol table section they use and
symbol table sections have a link to the corresponding string table.
So instead of assuming there will always be a global symbol and string
table, all we have to do is validate and follow these links. Then, when
we encounter an empty object file that has no symbols then we handle it
correctly, because since it's empty we never process any relocations and
so never have to follow any links to non-existant symbol tables.

Also, in the case where an object is fully stripped, we can now detect
this more reliably and emit a more helpful error message, e.g:

libHSghc-7.1.20110509.a(DsMeta.o): relocation section #2 has no symbol table
This object file has probably been fully striped. Such files cannot be linked.
