#15038: Memory Corruption (strange closure type) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andrewthad | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Good sleuthing! However, I'm not sure about marking `absentError` as non-CAFFY. Afterall, judging by its RHS it looks as though it may carry a reference to at least one CAF (namely `unpackCString# "Oops! Entered absent arg"#). Have you looked at the STG that is produced for this? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15038#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
