This situation sounds exactly like [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7344 this bug] reported 17 months ago. Symptoms are 'pandoc --version' hangs and consumes memory until the process eventually dies with an OOM error. This seems to only happen when LC_ALL is set in the environment, and only when running the statically linked pandoc. {{{ $ uname -a Linux server 3.5.0-43-generic #66~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 24 14:52:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/rstudio-buildtools/pandoc-1.12.3.zip $ unzip pandoc-1.12.3.zip $ file pandoc-1.12.3/linux/debian/x86_64/pandoc pandoc-1.12.3/linux/debian/x86_64/pandoc: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID[sha1]=0x9bc69f51b7c213cf58e9f8692f4b46f9f05fb723, not stripped $ LC_ALL=C strace -e trace=open,close pandoc-1.12.3/linux/debian/x86_64/pandoc --version open("/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) --- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) @ 0 (0) --- --- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) @ 0 (0) --- --- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) @ 0 (0) --- --- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) @ 0 (0) --- ^C--- SIGINT (Interrupt) @ 0 (0) --- }}} Note this problem does not occur if I run an older dynamically linked pandoc under the same circumstances. {{{ $ /usr/bin/pandoc --version pandoc 1.9.1.1 Compiled with citeproc-hs 0.3.4, texmath 0.6.0.3, highlighting-kate 0.5.0.5.

#9180: New magic function `staticError` ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: nomeata Type: feature request | 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: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- While playing games with `RULES`, I had the need for a way to tell the compiler “please spit out an error message”, in my case if list fusion fails where the user explicitly requested for it. Currently I put an `error "List did not fuse"` in the code using a `RULE`, but what I’d really like to do is to put in a `staticError "List did not fuse"` that, if appearing in Core (say, after the final simplification) causes GHC to abort and print this message. (I’m tempted to use type level strings somehow to make sure that the parameter to `staticError` is not present at the value level, and also that the string is easier to obtain. I’ll see.) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9180> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8391: FunDeps coverage condition check failure with PolyKinds

#8391: FunDeps coverage condition check failure with PolyKinds ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: sbarclay | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHC rejects valid program Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocking: Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #8356 | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- The following code: {{{ #!haskell {-# LANGUAGE FunctionalDependencies, FlexibleInstances, UndecidableInstances, TypeFamilies, PolyKinds #-} module FunDepsIssue where type Foo a = a class Foo a ~ b => Bar a b | a -> b instance Foo a ~ b => Bar a b }}} results in: {{{ Illegal instance declaration for ‛Bar k a b’ Multiple uses of this instance may be inconsistent with the functional dependencies of the class. In the instance declaration for ‛Bar a b’ }}} This appears to be a regression from 7.6.3, where it compiles OK. The same error occurs when the type synonym is replaced with a type family (which is the case I was originally interested in) or a type constructor like `Data.Proxy`, as long as it's poly-kinded it seems. So the following cases also fail to compile: {{{ #!haskell type family Foo (a :: k) :: * type family Foo (a :: *) :: k type family Foo (a :: k) :: k type family Foo (a :: k) :: k' }}} Looking through the source code, I think that the issue is that the coverage condition check doesn't close over kind variables, when it compares the vars on each side of the functional dependency. But `Foo a` has a hidden kind variable, so the l.h. varset `{a}` is insufficient to fix `b` using `Foo a ~ b`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8391> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
