#8316: GHCi debugger segfaults when trying force a certain variable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: debugger Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHCi crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D4535, Wiki Page: | Phab:D5179 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by osa1): * differential: Phab:D4535 => Phab:D4535, Phab:D5179 Comment: I submitted a diff. As expected, it causes a deadlock in the reproducer. Simon, any ideas on how to fix the deadlock? Would it be possible to resume the evaluator thread (by updating `breakMVar`) before entering a BLACKHOLE? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8316#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
