#10736: threadWaitRead/registerFd unusable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mboes | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The following program: {{{ module Main where import System.Posix.IO import GHC.Event main = do Just mgr <- getSystemEventManager fd <- openFd "/tmp/bleh" ReadOnly Nothing defaultFileFlags { nonBlock = True } key <- registerFd mgr (\_ _ -> putStrLn "hello") fd evtRead MultiShot return () }}} fails with: {{{ *** Exception: modifyFdOnce: permission denied (Operation not permitted) }}} Since `threadWaitRead` and family are implemented in terms of `registerFd`, they also fail with the same error. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how to use this function, but in this case the conditions that must hold true regarding file descriptors should be documented somewhere. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10736 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
