[GHC] #8340: support for generating annotations from TH

#8340: support for generating annotations from TH -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: errge | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: 7867 -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- This patch adds support for template haskell generation of annotations. This is currently only possible directly via ```{-# ANN function "whatever annotation #-}```. The attached patch makes it possible to do the same from TH. Module and type annotations are supported too. This is part of a larger effort to make it possible to cross-module communicate between template haskell runs. See #7867 for a longer discussion. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8340> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8343: Interrupting readProcess doesn't work --------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: akio | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.6.3 libraries/base | Operating System: Linux Keywords: | Type of failure: Incorrect result at runtime Architecture: x86_64 | Test Case: (amd64) | Blocking: Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #5766 | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------ The following program should terminate in 1 second, but it does not: {{{ import System.Process import System.Timeout main = timeout 1000000 $ print =<< readProcess "sleep" ["2h"] "" }}} The problem is in the exception handler in {{{readProcess}}}. When it receives an asynchronous exception, it tries to clean up by closing the pipes. However the attempt to close {{{outh}}} blocks because the reader thread (reading with {{{hGetContents}}}) is blocking on the handle. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8343> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
