If I run with -N4 -qg1 -hr, I either get a segfault or internal error: Invalid object in isRetainer(): 40 When the segfault happens, it happens quickly. If the segfault doesn't happen, the program runs for about 5 seconds and I get "invalid object" error (always 40). Without -hr, I have never gotten a segfault. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8406> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9074: GHC 7.8.2's ghci does not track missing symbols when loading non-Haskell object files ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: massysett | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I have a package that bundles in C library sources. I never had a problem with this when using GHC 7.6. In GHC 7.8, the order of the c-sources in the cabal file now matters. Sources must be listed earlier if they have symbols that subsequently loaded object files will need. If the c-sources are in the wrong order, when running "cabal repl" I get Loading object (static) dist/build/decnumber/src/decQuad.o ... ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux): Loading temp shared object failed: /tmp/ghc14294_0/ghc14294_1.so: undefined symbol: DECSTICKYTAB Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug When using the same code and cabal file with GHC 7.6, "cabal repl" works fine: GHCi loads each static object (regardless of ordering in the cabal file), links up the necessary symbols, and launches successfully.

At the very least, this divergence from the Haskell Report should be mentioned in [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide /bugs-and-infelicities.html#haskell-standards-divergence 14.1.1.

#8684: hWaitForInput cannot be interrupted by async exceptions on unix ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.6.0.1/docs/System-Timeout.html claims that {{{timeout}}} can interrupt {{{hWaitForInput}}}, but in fact that's false (e.g. mentioned in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7353#comment:4) {{{ -- import Control.Concurrent import System.IO import System.Timeout main = timeout (1 * 1000000) $ hWaitForInput stdin (5 * 1000) }}} will not be killed after 1 second, but instead wait for the full 5 seconds timeout passed to {{{hWaitForInput}}}. The implementation is {{{ready}}} at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/src/GHC-IO- FD.html, where we have two foreign calls: {{{safe fdReady}}} and {{{unsafe unsafe_fdReady}}}. The actual C implementation is at https://github.com/haskell- suite/base/blob/master/cbits/inputReady.c#L16. It uses {{{select}}} on Unix, and does check for {{{EINTR}}}, so I believe that according to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.6.3/html/users_guide/ffi.html#ffi- interruptible both foreign calls can be replaced by a single {{{interruptible}}} one. Is that true? If not, it's a documentation bug in {{{timeout}}} at least. Also, does {{{interruptible}}}, apart from allowing the function to be interrupted, behave more like {{{safe}}} or {{{unsafe}}}? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8684> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
