Hi, I don’t trust the travis setup enough to automatically relay failures, so I do it manually. Since these patches: Changes to ghc: commit 12cdd6d Author: Duncan Coutts Date: Thu Nov 14 16:02:03 2013 +0000 Don translate UserInterrupt into ExitFailure 1, let it propagate It is important that if a program recieved ^C from the user, and the program terminates as a result, that it exit with SIGINT so that the parent process knows that was the case. For example cabal calling ghc will then be able to tell the difference between it failing and the user interrupting with ^C and report (or not) appropriately. So we should just let the UserInterrupt exception propagate to the top level error handler which will do the right thing. See http://www.cons.org/cracauer/sigint.html commit a987b80 Author: Duncan Coutts Date: Thu Nov 14 15:54:13 2013 +0000 Improve the shutdownHaskellAndSignal and add fast exit This is the RTS part of a patch to base's topHandler to handle exiting by a signal. The intended behaviour is that on Unix, throwing ExitFailure (-sig) results in the process terminating with that signal. Previously shutdownHaskellAndSignal was only used for exiting with SIGINT due to the UserInterrupt exception. Improve shutdownHaskellAndSignal to do the signal part more carefully. In particular, it (should) now reliably terminates the process one way or another. Previusly if the signal was blocked, ignored or handled then shutdownHaskellAndSignal would actually return! Also, the topHandler code has two paths a careful shutdown and a "fast exit" where it does not give finalisers a chance to run. We want to support that mode also when we want to exit by signal. So rather than the base code directly calling stg_exit as it did before, we have a fastExit bool paramater for both shutdownHaskellAnd{Exit,Signal}. Changes to base: commit dd00004 Author: Duncan Coutts Date: Thu Nov 14 15:16:30 2013 +0000 Add tests for the top level exception handler The top level exception handler is wrapped around main, and FFI exports. It handles exceptions that are not otherwise caught in user code. For most exception is just prints them, but handles a few specially, including ExitCode and UserInterrupt. On Unix it installs a signal handler for SIGINT to translate it into a UserInterrupt async exception. So we test that: 1. receiving SIGINT does trigger a UserInterrupt async exception 2. an unhandled UserInterrupt makes us kill ourselves with SIGINT 3. an unhandled ExitFailure (-sig) makes us kill ourselves with sig commit 6b22a6e Author: Duncan Coutts Date: Thu Nov 14 15:15:31 2013 +0000 Handle ExitFailure (-sig) by killing process with signal On Unix we now use negative exit codes in ExitFailure to indicate that a process exited due to a signal. This patch implements the case for when a ExitFailure exception propagates out of the top of main (and is handled by the topHandler). For a negative ExitFailure code, we try to kill the process using that signal (the details of that are handled by shutdownHaskellAndSignal from the RTS). For an exit code outside the valid ranges, we use 0xff. Changes to process: commit 3ebbe13 Author: Duncan Coutts Date: Thu Nov 14 13:59:57 2013 +0000 Change the unix ExitCode encoding again! Now simply -signum So rather than a bitfield encoding, covering normal exit codes, signals and core dumps, we now simply use negative numbers for signal exit codes. We thus do not report core dumps by this mechanism. This encoding is a lot simpler to explain and use. It also happens to be the same encoding as Python's subprocess package uses. Anyone who cares about core dumps can still use the unix package. I get this failure on travis: =====> topHandler03(normal) 3622 of 3821 [0, 0, 0] Actual stderr output differs from expected: --- /dev/null 2013-11-14 17:46:34.724312327 +0000 +++ ../../libraries/base/tests/topHandler03.run.stderr 2013-11-14 18:24:52.367542630 +0000 @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Terminated *** unexpected failure for topHandler03(normal) (Full log at https://s3.amazonaws.com/archive.travis-ci.org/jobs/13982142/log.txt) Does anyone feel responsible?
