#9306: Crash when shifting Integers too far left -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonpj): It's not clear what to do here. After all, arbitrary precision integers are supposed to be, well, arbitrary precision. If it "worked" you'd probably get a heap overflow instead. What should the maximum size of a shift be? If anyone has good ideas, go for it! Simon -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9306#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
