#13148: Adding weak pointers to non-mutable unboxed values segfaults -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mboes | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Consider the following program: {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE MagicHash #-} {-# LANGUAGE UnboxedTuples #-} module Main where import Foreign import GHC.Base import GHC.IORef import GHC.Ptr import GHC.STRef import System.Mem main = do p@(Ptr p#) <- mallocBytes 10 r@(IORef (STRef r#)) <- newIORef True IO $ \s -> case mkWeakNoFinalizer# r# () s of (# s1, w #) -> (# s1, () #) performGC }}} This program works fine. But if I `mkWeakNoFinalizer#` to `#p` instead of `#r` then it '''segfaults'''. That is, I can attach a weak pointer to a `MutVar#`, as well as to a `MVar#`, but not any other unboxed type, including pointer addresses. The documentation says "Finalizers ''can'' be used reliably for types that are created explicitly and have identity, such as IORef and MVar". But a) I don't know that "types that have identity" is defined anywhere, b) this doesn't say that weak pointers ''cannot'' be used for anything else. Should I be able to create weak pointers to any unboxed value? If not, I guess this is mostly a documentation bug. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13148> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Similar issues exist for `Int16`, `Int32` etc. Suspect this is related to the fix for #8542. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13107> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The papers linked in the recursive-do section here: http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts… #the-mdo-notation are unfortunately outdated. (They moved elsewhere!) I was going to submit a git-hub patch to fix the links. After some digging, however, I found that someone else noticed the same about 8 months ago and fixed it already in this commit: http://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/961ed26b69292f6bfb75cd2209ea0c67e77abf7b So, I'm wondering why the latest document doesn't seem to render the correct links, given this was fixed last May? Something off with the document builder?
