+Synopsis: A tool for verifying the partitioning of the GHC library on Windows
Description:
- XXX
+ Due to various toolchain issues (see GHC Trac #5987) we are forced to keep
+ DLLs on Windows smaller than 65,000 symbols. To accomplish this we split
+ the @ghc@ package into multiple DLLs by partitioning defined in the
+ build system (see @compiler/ghc.mk@).
+ .
+ This tool checks this partitioning to ensure consistency with the actual
+ module dependencies.
