Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want the same code to compile with both ahc-ghc and ghc, but some libraries (e.g. sdl2) are not compatible with ahc-ghc.
Describe the solution you'd like
I wish ahc-cabal would recognize the conditionimpl(ahc-ghc). Currently, it recognizes impl(ghc), so I cannot use this condition to distinguish ahc-ghc from ghc.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have defined a configuration flag instead:
flag asterius
description: Whether we're compiling with ahc-ghc (true) or ghc (false).
default: false
manual: true
It works fine, I just have to remember to pass --flags="asterius" when compiling with ahc-cabal and to not pass it when compiling with cabal. Since the cabal package description format provides an easy way to detect the compiler automatically, it just seems unfortunate that I have to specify it manually :)
