#12148: GHC 8 crash when building "chatter" library -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: varosi | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: worksforme | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10852 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * status: new => closed * resolution: => worksforme Comment: It works for me as well, using GHC 8.0.1 and http://www.stackage.org/snapshot/nightly-2016-06-02, which contains cereal 0.5.2.0. This seems to have fixed it, from the cereal 0.5.2.0 release notes:
Split the GSerialize class in two, to deal with a GHC bug (thanks Austin Seipp!)
The GHC bug they refer to is #5642, and it is still open. Thanks again for reporting. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12148#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
