    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

i.e ghc --make program.hs works, ghc --make -prof program.hs doesn't.

  • summary changed from GHC Profiling fails with the hint package to GHC API should emit a suitable error message when interpreter is used with -prof
  • os changed from Linux to Unknown/Multiple
  • milestone set to 6.14.1

hint can't be used with -prof. The GHC API should give a better error message here.

We think this is fixed, but currently hint isn't installable with 7.0, so I can't test it yet.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

Still not installable, but it should be fixed. Please reopen if you think it's not.
