-package base and External Core files: msg#00014lang.haskell.glasgow.bugs
It appears that certain External Core programs will not be compiled correctly unless the -package base flag is explicitly included on the command line. Here's a transcript that should demonstrate what I mean (the program being compiled is the imaginary/x2n1 nofib benchmark): $ ghc -fext-core -fno-code Main.hs $ ghc -o Good -no-recomp -O1 -package base Main.hcr $ ./Good 10 10 $ ghc -o Bad -no-recomp -O1 Main.hcr /tmp/ghc14001.hc: In function `Main_zdwmkPolar_entry': /tmp/ghc14001.hc:56: warning: implicit declaration of function `sin' /tmp/ghc14001.hc:62: warning: implicit declaration of function `cos' $ ./Bad 10 -269653970229347386159395778618353710042696546841345985910145121736599013708251444699062715983611304031680170819807090036488184653221624933739271145959211186566651840137298227914453329401869141179179624428127508653257226023513694322210869665811240855745025766026879447359920868907719574457253034494436336205824 $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 5.05 The -O1 is relevant -- with no optimization, it compiles correctly in either case. It seems that without the explicit "-package base", GHC generates an .hc file that is missing the #include directive for HsBase.h, resulting (in this case) in the wrong definitions of sin and cos getting used, resulting in incorrect output. I don't see anything in the documentation for External Core that says you have to explicitly specify the base package, so I'm guessing it's a bug. -- Kirsten Chevalier * krc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * Often in error, never in doubt
