Unfortunately, it only fails intermittently on one quad core Arm board and not at all on another quad core Arm board. If I do 10 runs of the test like: {{{ for x in $(seq 1 10) ; do testsuite/tests/rts/T7815 50000 +RTS -N2 ; echo $? ; done }}} one will fail at least 4 or 5 times and ocassionally as many as 9 or 10 times. The two boards are: * Inforce Computing ifc6540 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU. * Radxa Rock with a Rockchip RK3199 CPU. The ifc6540 is the one that fails. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10368> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

In particular, I'd like to have -g1 which has (from https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html) > minimal information, enough for making backtraces in parts of the program that you don't plan to debug. This includes descriptions of functions and external variables, and line number tables, but no information about local variables. This should let us have -g1 turned on even in production code, as it should grow binary sizes by much. This in turn should be a boon for debugability of programs. It should also allow us to offer some for of stack traces without any runtime cost (except when an exception with a stack trace is actually raised.) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9952> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9499: Add -prelude-is flag -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: agibiansky | Owner: agibiansky Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: flag | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | Type of failure: hour) | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I would like GHC to have a `-prelude-is` flag, which would specify an alternate Prelude to use instead of the default Haskell prelude. The benefit this would have is that this would give alternate preludes a more first-class status. Instead of having to import an alternative prelude everywhere, you could just have a ghc-options: -prelude-is=... flag in your *.cabal file, and have a different prelude be used. This is important for my own work, as I highly prefer other preludes for my non- library development; I think this is a feature which will be very useful as Haskell develops and we try to figure out how to get rid of the warts in the current Prelude.

[GHC] #9573: Add warning for invalid digits in integer literals

#9573: Add warning for invalid digits in integer literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: vlopez | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler (Parser) | Version: 7.9 Keywords: parsing, integer, | Operating System: octal, binary, hexadecimal, | Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Difficulty: Difficult (2-5 | None/Unknown days) | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In its latest version, GHC can parse binary (with `-XBinaryLiterals`), octal and hexadecimal literals: {{{#!hs > 0b101010 > 0o52 > 0x2A }}} Currently, the parser/lexer reads digits from the input as long as they are valid for the specified radix. All subsequent digits are interpreted as a new, separate token. If the user uses a digit which isn't valid for the radix, it may be reported with a non-obvious error message, or interpreted in surprising ways: {{{#!hs > :t 0o567 0o576 :: Num a => a > :t 0o5678 0o5678 :: (Num (a -> t), Num a) => t Prelude> :t 0x1bfah <interactive>:1:7: Not in scope: ‘h’ > replicate 0o5678 [8,8,8,8,8,8,8... }}} We suggest warning the user when a literal of this sort is written, while respecting any other error messages and the original behaviour. More specifically, the parser or lexer would give a warning if a token starting with an alphanumeric character is found immediately after a numeric literal, without a blank between them. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9573> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
