Building dynamic profiled libraries? #4816

To be clear, loading a profiled plugin is only useful when GHC is profiled, because a profiled plugin needs a profiled runtime. So this capability would be a lot less useful than you would think (although, certainly, we should support it...) |
|
Yes, that is true; this was the case that I encountered although my ticket description confused things. I've fixed the text. |

I have a use-case for profiled dynamic libraries, and might be able to implement this. The ways of building a library seem to be driven by |

In our thesis we ran into an additional use case. We wanted to run profiling on a file containing the Suspect it is then impossible to use Cabal with profiling for anything using the |

New options for cabal.project and ./Setup interface: * `profiling-shared`: Enable building profiling dynamic way * `library-profiling-only`: Only build profiling libraries (not vanilla and profiling) Support for using `profiling-shared` is guarded behind a constraint which ensures you are using `Cabal >= 3.13`. In the cabal file: * `ghc-prof-shared-options`, for passing options when building in profiling dynamic way Fixes haskell#4816

New options for cabal.project and ./Setup interface: * `profiling-shared`: Enable building profiling dynamic way * Passing `--enable-profiling` and `--enable-executable-dynamic` builds profiled dynamic executables. Support for using `profiling-shared` is guarded behind a constraint which ensures you are using `Cabal >= 3.13`. In the cabal file: * `ghc-prof-shared-options`, for passing options when building in profiling dynamic way Other miscellenious fixes and improvements * Some refactoring around ways so that which ways we should build for a library, foreign library and executable is computed by the `buildWays` function (rather than ad-hoc in three different places). * Improved logic for detecting whether a compiler supports compiling a specific way. See functions `profilingVanillaSupported`, `dynamicSupported`, `profilingDynamicSupported` etc These functions report accurate infomation after ghc-9.10.1. * Fixed logic for determining whether to build shared libraries. (see haskell#10050) Now, if you explicitly enable `--*-shared`, then that will always take effect. If it's not specified then `--enable-executable-dynamic` will turn on shared libraries IF `--enable-profiling` is not enabled. * Remove assumption that dynamically linked compilers can build dynamic libraries (they might be cross compilers. * Query the build compiler to determine which library way is necessary to be built for TH support to work. (rather than assume all compilers are dynamically linked) * An extensive test which checks how options for `./Setup` and `cabal-install` are translated into build ways. Fixes haskell#4816, haskell#10049, haskell#10050

Currently it seems that there is no way to convince Cabal to build libraries in the
dyn_pway. This renders it impossible to build projects which have plugin build dependencies with profiling enabled. The reason for this is that a profiledghcwill attempt to load the plugin built in the profiled way, which does not exist.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
