From the "ARMv8 Instriction Set Overview" document I found (wasn't able to find anything more recent): https://www.element14.com/community/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/41836-… Section 3.6 says "There is no hardware check for “divide by zero”, but this check can be performed in the shadow of a long latency division. A divide by zero writes zero to the destination register." Looks like we need extra code to check for this, but not sure how to report it. Should probably look at what GCC and Clang do. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10332> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#11578: Fix GHC on AArch64/Arm64 --------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: aarch64 | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------+------------------------------------- Raising this to track discussion about GHC on Arm64. There is already some discussion in ticket #11206 (ARM is generally a disaster), but that ticket is about 32 bit Arm which is vastly different and is now mostly fixed. Information worth saving from #11206: * GHC 7.8.4 from Debian can build the ghc-8.0 branch, but cannot build HEAD because HEAD requires ghc-7.10 to build. * GHC 7.10 from Debian is broken because of an unfixed bug in llvm-3.5.2. * User @mfox reports that ghc-7.10 does build against llvm-3.7 and results in a compiler that can build HEAD. * That GHC 7.10 can be build against llvm-3.7 is a happy accident. Versions of GHC are usually locked to a specific version of LLVM. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11578> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
