# Build flavours

Hadrian supports a few predefined _build flavours_, i.e. collections of build
settings that fully define a GHC build (see `src/Flavour.hs`). Users can add their
own build flavours if need be, as described
[here](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/blob/master/hadrian/doc/user-settings.md#build-flavour).

## Arguments

The following table summarises extra arguments passed to GHC in different build flavours.
There are four groups of arguments: arguments in `hsDefault` are passed to GHC for all Haskell
source files, `hsLibrary` arguments are added when compiling libraries, `hsCompiler`
when compiling the `compiler` library, and `hsGhc` when compiling/linking the GHC program.

### LLVM variants

In addition to the above, there are LLVM variants for the flavours `quick`,
`prof`, `perf` and `bench`, available by appending a `-llvm` suffix (i.e.,
`quick-llvm` for the LLVM variant of `quick`). These differ only in that there
is an additional `-fllvm` flag in `hsDefault` when the stage0 compiler is GHC.
See `src/Settings/Flavours/Llvm.hs` for details.

## Ways

Libraries and GHC can be built in different _ways_, e.g. with or without profiling
information. The following table lists ways that are built in different flavours.
