#9003: GHC eventlog: thread stop status codes modified (breaking ghc-events, threadscope, edentv) -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: jberthold | Owner: ezyang Type: bug | Status: merge Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.3 Component: Runtime | Version: 7.8.2 System | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: Other | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by jberthold): I would prefer if the patch included a change to some event (eventlog header), so that the 7.8.2 version can be recognized by reading the header. This is the best way to fix ghc-events. The event EVENT_USER_MARKER was new in 7.8, and my fix to ghc-events- parallel was based on this. If the old numbering is restored now, I would like to have a way to distinguish version 7.8.3 from 7.8.2, which is easily done by changing events (could be adding an event which is not used, or extending an event with a new field). If any such change is pending, I suggest to apply it now, or revert the numbering later. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9003#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
