ghc --make on Haskell and non-Haskell inputs can silently clobber input
Create any valid files A.hs and A.c, then run ghc --make A.hs A.c
. You'll get one A.o
file for A.hs
; the A.o
from A.c
is lost to the sands of time.
I thought this situation would be pretty unlikely but geekosaur mentioned to me that he had seen someone run into this problem before.
