In SimplCore.lhs, addPlugin* is #ifdef GHCI. Is this dependency really
necessary? plugins can be useful independently of the GHCi UI.
From the wiki [1]:
"Stage 1 does not support interactive execution (GHCi) and Template
Haskell. The reason being that when running byte code we must
dynamically link the packages, and only in stage 2 and later can we
guarantee that the packages we dynamically link are compatible with
those that GHC was built against (because they are the very same
packages). "
This does not seem to be a reason to not support plugins and dynamic
linking in general in stage though, or am I missing something?
Besides finding the dependency in this direction a bit strange, building
stage 2 to debug plugin mechanism problems is a bit slow.
Thanks,
