Hey all, the summary of a make test run on my macbook air is as follows is this a good outcome for running make test, or are any of these issues with the release candidate?

[Patch] Android cross compile support
by Nathan Hüsken 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Hey, Appened is a patch that enables cross compilation to android. For the patch to work, config.guess and config.sub have to be updated to a newer version so that they recognize linux-android. For the libraries some additional patches are needed, I will send them also to this list. Will this patch be applied to ghc HEAD? Regards, Nathan

Ian, Paul It seems that 'abbott' is down again. Two days in a row suggests something is wrong. Is there anything either of you can do to help? Simon

-lrt and -lpthread order with static linking
by Anatoly Yakovenko 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

ghc places -lrt after -lpthread, causing pthread.a symbols to be missing when linking with -static and just for kicks it generates a .o in /tmp that it deletes on exit, so i cant relink. i think whoever added that owes me a beer. so in one shell i did a while true; do cp /tmp/*/*.o .; done and in another shell i ran the make command to grab that tmp file, then i was able to stick into the collect command i can grab from -optl--verbose and fully link the exe.

Stack smashing when using FunPtr wrappers on ARM
by Stephen Paul Weber 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

I just got my unregistered LLVM-based ARM cross-compiler to a working place, which means I can produce any binaries which do no crash. Yay! However, <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7621> when I try to use FunPtr wrappers, something smashes the stack. Would others working on ARM cross-compilers be willing to try this test and see if it works for you: {-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-} module Main (main) where import Foreign.Ptr foreign import ccall "wrapper" wrap_refresh :: ( IO ()) -> IO (FunPtr ( IO ())) main :: IO () main = do wrap_refresh (return ()) return () -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See <http://singpolyma.net> for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph

ghc passing -undef to preprocessor and thereby eliminating OS specific defines
by Nathan Hüsken 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hey, I am trying to adapt some code in the libraries when compiling for android (i.E. because some things are different on android to other posix systems). So in C code I would just do "#ifdef __ANDROID__". While in the *.h and *.c files it seems to work, it does not work in *.hs files. I noted that the preprocessor is run like this: arm-linux-androideabi-gcc -E -undef -traditional -fno-stack-protector -DTABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE The "-undef" parameter is causing the __ANDROID__ define to be removed. Does it make sense to pass "-undef" to the preprocessor? Any other Ideas how I could adapt the code for android? Thanks! Nathan

Mailing lists
by Ian Lynagh 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hi all, As you've probably noticed, the mailing list changes have now been made. The following new lists have been created: ghc-devs@ For developer discussions ghc-commits@ For automated commit messages from the git repositories ghc-builds@ For automated nightly build reports ghc-tickets@ For automated messages from trac These mailing lists no longer exist (but for now they forward to an appropriate new list): cvs-ghc@ cvs-libraries@ cvs-other@ glasgow-haskell-bugs@ People have been subscribed to the new lists based on which old lists they were on. If you find any web pages etc referring to the old lists, please ask the webmaster to update them (or do so yourself if e.g. it's on a wiki). Thanks Ian
