#9284: shutdownCapability sometimes loops indefinitely on OSX after forkProcess -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: #9377 Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by edsko): Termination of the I/O manager is still broken in the general case; Andreas has been working on that and he sent me a patch a few days ago but I haven't had a chance to look at it it -- but the problem is that we will wait indefinitely for the I/O manager to terminate whenever we do a "safe" exit from the RTS (call to `hs_exit` rather than `hs_exit_`). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9284#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
