#9049: Expose srcLoc from the assertion architecture to allow better error messages -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: gridaphobe Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #5273, #624 | Differential Revisions: Phab:D578 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * related: 5273 => #5273, #624 Comment: One thing that we may want to consider is using this mechanism to address #624, which seeks backtraces for indefinitely blocking MVar and STM operations. The only slightly tricky thing here is that you would need to pipe the backtrace through the RTS. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9049#comment:41 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
