#11234: GHCi on Windows segfaults ----------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: Phyx- Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.11 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: GHCi crash Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: ----------------------------------------+------------------------------- GHCi on Windows has had a segfault for while now on `x86_64`. During the upgrade of `GCC` in Phab:D1123 I noticed that test `prog003` was failing with a segfault. Currently the segfault exist in both versions but on `x86` it's particularly easy to trigger. In my case I can't even start ghci. {{{ $ inplace/bin/GHC-stage2.exe --interactive GHCi, version 7.11.20151213: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Segmentation fault/access violation in generated code }}} The segfault does not seem to happen when linked to the debug rts, and running with `+RTS -Ds -RTS` doesn't report anything special. Compiling with `devel2` so the rts gets compiled with `-g` the stack trace is not very useful. {{{ (gdb) run --interactive Starting program: /home/Tamar/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive [New Thread 108480.0x1960c] [New Thread 108480.0x19b2c] [New Thread 108480.0x19c30] [New Thread 108480.0x1a0a8] [New Thread 108480.0x1a93c] [New Thread 108480.0x13954] [New Thread 108480.0x14440] GHCi, version 7.11.20151213: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x06843aa5 in ??
