Re: fast test suite failures on OS X with 7.10 RC head

I work exclusively on Mac and have been seeing those errors for months. I'll admit to not having looked into them, as I was fairly sure they Weren't My Fault. However, I'd be willing to be a supportive member of a Mac taskforce, reporting what I see and running experiments as requested. I'm afraid I can't volunteer to be a primary member of such a taskforce, as I know very little about the sorts of things that cause platform-specific failures. Do let me know if anyone out there wants more information (dumps, other experiments) related to the failures above. Thanks! Richard On Mar 22, 2015, at 4:24 PM, Thomas Miedema wrote:

Maybe it's time for a Mac OS X taskforce?

All these unexpected test failures on OS X (see also https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9389), and OS X specific tickets in general, could get some more attention: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/query?status=!closed&os=MacOS+X

hey all

heres the results from the test suite run on a build of 7.10 head on OS X

i believe that some of the test suite failures are because I set the min OS X version to 10.6 rather than 10.7, and that some are because GCC (unlike clang) doesn't support certain OS X specific things like objective C or related header files. I'll add more information as I have the time, but figured I should share this for now
