#10458: GHCi fails to load shared object (the 'impossible' happened) -----------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: rleslie | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.10.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -----------------------------------------+--------------------------------- I have a project that uses two external libraries, namely `-lcrypt` and `-lpcre`. Building with `cabal` and running the resulting executable works as expected, but I'm having trouble starting a REPL in GHCi: {{{ % cabal repl Preprocessing executable 'etamoo' for EtaMOO-0.2.1.0... GHCi, version 7.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help /usr/bin/ld: dist/build/etamoo/etamoo-tmp/src/cbits/crypt.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `crypt' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status }}} The error suggests I need `-fPIC`, and this seems to help the `-lcrypt` case, but now I get: {{{ % cabal repl --ghc-options="-fPIC" Preprocessing executable 'etamoo' for EtaMOO-0.2.1.0... GHCi, version 7.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help ghc: panic!

Any advice is welcome, including the proper way to start GHCi given these external dependencies, as well as on this apparent bug. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10458> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #12206: No exposed API to get full text of ErrMsg

#12206: No exposed API to get full text of ErrMsg -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bit | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In GHC version 7.10.3 it was possible to get the full text of an error message by using the functions `ErrUtils.errMsgShortDoc` and `ErrUtils.errMsgExtraInfo`. But in GHC version 8.0.1 the code has changed. The full text of the error message is stored in the `ErrMsg` field `ErrUtils.errMsgDoc`, but this field is hidden, and there doesn't seem to be any API to access its contents. The only workaround I can find is to use `ErrUtils.pprLocErrMsg`, and then strip out the first line containing the location info, and then manually unindent the 4-space "hang". This is quite ugly. I suggest exporting `ErrUtils.errMsgDoc`, and then for that to be useful the fields of `ErrUtils.ErrDoc` will also be needed. Additionally, `ErrUtils.formatErrDoc` could be a nice bonus to have (and if exported would lessen the need for the `ErrDoc` fields). The GHC API changes on every GHC release, so since backwards compatibility is not an issue, it would seem that there is no need to have a carefully exposed API, and there is no danger in liberally exporting stuff that clients could potentially find useful.

[GHC] #11970: Simplify Parent

#11970: Simplify Parent -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This commit {{{ commit 96621b1b4979f449e873513e9de8d806257c9493 Associate pattern synonyms with types in module exports }}} added `PatternSynonym` to `RdrName.Parent`. That's a pretty heavy hammer. It forces us to add `IsPatSyn` to `AvailInfo`, including binary serialisation etc. And I think it's needed in precisely one place, namely `RnNames.findPatSyns`. Right? The caller of `findPatSyns` and the associated `lookupChildren` is jolly obscure and I don't fully understand it. I **think** the issue is this: * I want to allow an export item `T( K )`, where `K` is a pattern synonym, even though it's not really (yet) associated with `T`. I think the goal of this code was to reject the `K` if it's a data constructor. But we also have a **further** check in `tcExports` to check that `K` has the right type. Surely it'd be better to nuke this `PatternSynonym` and `IsPatSyn` stuff? Just use`isDataOcc` in the export lookup part. Then the `tcExport` check will object if you write an export item like `Either( Just )`. Fewer moving parts! Matthew, does this make sense?

'Bool -> k -> k -> k type family If cond tru fls where If True tru fls = tru If False tru fls = fls foo :: If True () (Eq a) => a -> a foo = error "urk" }}} This should work fine. But we get {{{ Foo.hs:8:21: The third argument of `If' should have kind `*', but `Eq a' has kind `Constraint' In the type signature for `foo': foo :: If True () (Eq a) => a -> a }}} Reason: GHC is treating the `()` unit tuple as of kind `*`. Reason is that in the `HsTupleTy` case of `tc_hs_type` in `TcHsType`, we see {{{ -- In the [] case, it's not clear what the kind is, so guess * }}} And that guess is plain wrong in this case. Unfortunately I don't see an easy fix, but it's plain wrong as-is. Simon -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9547> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
