#8270: unknown symbol "atomic_inc" in GHCi when loading package ghc ---------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #8282 ---------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by Austin Seipp ): In [changeset:f56a7878426bf749bdb60e81cb293fbe488d54c6/ghc]: {{{ #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc" revision="f56a7878426bf749bdb60e81cb293fbe488d54c6" Fix static GHCi build (#8270) When Ryan merged in the atomics branch, he made atomic_inc and atomic_dec EXTERN_INLINE functions, meaning their definitions became part of object files in the non-threaded build, instead of being inlined. As a result, this broke the linker for static GHCi, since it couldn't properly resolve the now-externally defined functions.
