Hi,
I am running a compiler plugin over hundreds of libraries to extract
statistical data. I use the plugin like it is done here:
https://github.com/coot/ghc-tags-plugin
So I just have to add a cabal.project.local to a library with:
ignore-project: False
package test
ghc-options: -package-db=/home/till/.cabal/store/ghc-8.10.7/package.db
-plugin-package=ghc-core-graph
-fplugin=GhcPlugins.Optimind
But unfortunately the plugin only runs over code that is used in the
main function or that is used in other functions.
Example:
main = putStrLn (show (f 0))
f x = sin x
g = h + i
Then the compiler plugin only runs over f, h, i but not not g (unused
top level functions).
Can the plugin be forced to run over all code?
