#9423: shutdownCapability sometimes loops indefinitely on OSX after hs_exit() -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: simonmar AndreasVoellmy | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.2 Component: Runtime | Keywords: System | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Resolution: | Difficulty: Unknown Operating System: MacOS X | Blocked By: Type of failure: Incorrect | Related Tickets: 9284 result at runtime | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by AndreasVoellmy): The attached program illustrates the problem. Compile like this, where `<your-ghc>` should be a recent (7.8.x) GHC: {{{ <your-ghc> -c Foo.hs <your-ghc> -threaded -no-hs-main FooMain.c Foo.o }}} Then run `a.out`. You should see some printouts and then it should hang (i.e. fail to terminate). You may need to run it a few times t see the behavior. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9423#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
