This seems to have frustrated others as well: https://gist.github.com/mcandre/5789498 I suggest we make the message more clear: `You might have to pass --user to update this cache file`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9606> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9395: Debug.Trace should not use %s for format string -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Incorrect Blocked By: | result at runtime Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The current implementation of traceIO in Debug.Trace is as follows: {{{ traceIO :: String -> IO () traceIO msg = do withCString "%s\n" $ \cfmt -> withCString msg $ \cmsg -> debugBelch cfmt cmsg }}} This is bad news: it means if the String has a null in it, the string will be silently truncated. For example, in GHC, this means that you cannot pretty-print FastString uniques, since the default printing algorithm often results in a null. Probably the proper thing to do here is to also pass a length indicator for the CString. We should also fix unique pretty-printing to never generate nulls. A good test case would be: {{{ main = trace "\0foo" (return ()) }}} which should have non-empty output. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9395> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8844: Pseudo terminal and process-1.2.0.0

#8844: Pseudo terminal and process-1.2.0.0 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ksamborski | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/process | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: pty | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Hello, I'm writing simple app which execute process and communicate with it via pseudo terminal. Here is some sample code: import System.Posix.Terminal import System.Process main = do (master, slave) <- openPseudoTerminal hslave <- fdToHandle slave hSetBuffering hslave NoBuffering (_,_,_,ph) <- createProcess (shell "mc"){ env = Just [("TERM", "xterm")] , std_in = UseHandle hslave , std_out = UseHandle hslave , std_err = UseHandle hslave , close_fds = True } forkIO $ readTerm master -- my function which reads output from process waitForProcess ph The problem is that mc still wants some input from stdin but not from slave terminal. But when I changed function runIteractiveProcess from runProcess.c like this: ... /* Reset the SIGINT/SIGQUIT signal handlers in the child, if requested */ if (reset_int_quit_handlers) { struct sigaction dfl; (void)sigemptyset(&dfl.sa_ mask); dfl.sa_flags = 0; dfl.sa_handler = SIG_DFL; (void)sigaction(SIGINT, &dfl, NULL); (void)sigaction(SIGQUIT, &dfl, NULL); } /********************************************************************************/ setsid(); //Make the current process a new session leader ioctl(0, TIOCSCTTY, 1); //As the child is a session leader, set the controlling terminal to be the slave side of the PTY /********************************************************************************/ /* the child */ if (environment) { // XXX Check result execvpe(args[0], args, environment); } else { // XXX Check result execvp(args[0], args); } childFailed(forkCommunicationFds[1], forkExecFailed); ... it worked as expected, I'm not proposing patch or solution but is there any chance to add support for pseudo terminals in the process library? Maybe just add another record field in CreateProcess like pty :: Bool and then call these two additional instructions in runIteractiveProcess?
