#7719: System.Timeout.timeout may leak <<timeout>> exceptions -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: int-e | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: libraries/base Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment(by int-e): (further comments on my patches above) Personally I think the bugfix is a no-brainer; the hard part was really figuring out why just masking exceptions interruptably was not enough. It still needs a test case, but I can try writing one tonight. For the faster timeout, I've asked Bas for a copy of the benchmarks he developed two years ago in connection with #4963. But I expect it to be a clear win, time-wise. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7719#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
