#8116: Segfault/panic of 32bit GHCi on Mac ---------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: Type of failure: GHCi crash | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: ghci/scripts/T8116 | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ---------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by jstolarek):
it should probably be a new bug report I'm not sure if tweaking a newly created test is worth an extra bug report.
Is this failure occurring on HEAD? Yes. I wouldn't report it otherwise.
I cannot reproduce this on my 32bit Linux: I assume that the test passes also when you run it with `make TEST=T8116 WAY=ghci` in testsuite/tests? I'm not really surprised. Floating-point comparisons are very unreliable, so testing for equality of floats is a risky thing to do.
