Hello everyone,
The GHC team is pleased to announce the second and likely last alpha release of GHC 8.8.1. The source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are available at
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.8.1-alpha2
A draft of the release notes is also available [1].
No sure why, but fix for #13633 has not made into the 8.8 branch. Due to this testwsdeque fails from time to time on POWER. Tested on ppc64le/ubuntu 18.04. Bootstrapped with ghc 8.6.3.
Is there any chance you may cherrypick Peter's fix in merge request 445? Would be great since otherwise besides some profiling related tests failing the build looks fine on ppc64le.
Thanks Karel! I've cherry-picked this and there will be an additional set of memory ordering fixes [1] appearing in 8.8 as well. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/1128/
