3783,Allow --make and --fno-code,duncan,simonmar,"Loading a largish project in ghci is roughly twice as fast as using `ghc --make` (and hugs is roughly 6 times faster than ghci). Presumably the majority of the extra time that `ghc --make` takes compared to `ghci` is down to generating object code, though some will be serialising `.hi` files.

So the feature request is to let us use `ghc --make -fno-code`. The purpose is to check the code for errors, it would of course write out `.hi` files so that re-running `ghc --make -fno-code` only recompiles the changed files, like `:reload` in ghci.",feature request,closed,normal,7.0.1,Compiler,6.12.1,fixed,,,Unknown/Multiple,Unknown/Multiple,None/Unknown,,,,,
