#7628: Improve error message when mixing 32bit and 64bit images ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: morabbin | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.6.1 | Keywords: Os: MacOS X | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Since we know when the user has mixed 32 and 64 bit images, let's say so in the error message. Before: {{{ Loading object (static) dist/build/HOC_cbits.o ... ghc: dist/build/HOC_cbits.o: Bad magic. Expected: feedfacf, got: feedface. ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.6.1 for x86_64-apple-darwin): loadObj "dist/build/HOC_cbits.o": failed Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug }}} After: {{{ Loading object (static) dist/build/HOC_cbits.o ... ghc-stage2: Could not load image dist/build/HOC_cbits.o: bad magic! Expected feedfacf (64bit), got feedface (32bit). ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.7.20130124 for x86_64-apple-darwin): loadObj "dist/build/HOC_cbits.o": failed }}} Patch to come. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7628 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
