#8839: 64 bit windows executables compiled with ghc-7.8rc2 segfault when allocate more than 4G of memory -----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: awson | Owner: simonmar Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): Good catch, I suspected it might have been something to do with that patch. Though I don't like the fix much. Something like this would be better: {{{ #if SIZEOF_LONG == SIZEOF_VOID_P #define UNIT 1UL #elif SIZEOF_LONGLONG == SIZEOF_VOID_P #define UNIT 1ULL #else #error ... #endif }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8839#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
