Significant Changes

  • Include cmm-sources when linking shared objects #7182 #7252

    • Previously cmm-sources were not included in the final link when building a library as a shared object. Fix this.

  • Prefer canonicalized path when guessing tools from GHC path #7390 #7392

    Motivation

    Often times, the user facing ghc binary is
    symlinked by other forces, such as the package manager,
    tooling like ghcup etc. As such, the naming convention
    (version suffix in particular) may not align with the
    assumptions made in Cabal and it may find an incorrect ghc-pkg.

    See:

    Solution

    Guessing the ghc-pkg path is already a hack and will be solved
    more appropriately in the future, see

    As such, this patch provides a workaround for
    older, already existing GHC versions by first always
    following the symbolic link of the ghc binary (if it is one)
    and prefering its target directory as the guess lookup
    location.

    Rationale

    The canonicalized path of the ghc binary usually points to the
    bin/ directory unpacked from a bindist, which is less likely to be
    tampered with by distributions and tools. As such, prefering the
    canoncialized path should get us more robust results.

  • Fix cabal test --enable-library-coverage for other-modules #5213 #7493

    • Fix cabal test --enable-library-coverage for libraries with nonempty other-modules field.
    • Due to a hack, this breaks coverage whenever the used Haskell compiler is called 't' (for a non-hacky fix we should rework HPC directories, possibly enabling multilib in the process, see #6440 and #6397).

  • Set PATH_SEPARATOR=";" when calling ./configure on Windows; this fix is necessary for autoconf >= 2.70 #7494 #7510

  • lazily decode cache files for checking invalidation #7516 #7466

    • This yields a significant 15% speedup on rebuilding build plans for projects with lots of individual cabal packages.

  • defer build-tools-depends choices as well as setup choices #7561 #7472

    • extends the existing solver pass that defers solving setup depends until top-level goals are solved to also defer build-tool-depends goals until top level goals are solved.
    • constraints at the top level (on versions, flags, stanzas, etc) are applied first and only then are attempts made to build the less-constrained qualified goals, significantly streamlining the production of valid build plans.

  • Set -Wno-prepositive-qualified-module in Paths_*.hs #7352
