#7229: Detecting if a process was killed by a signal is impossible --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: benmachine | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries/process | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonmar): Sounds like this discussion is converging. I'm happy with the proposal to encode signals in bits 8-15 of the exit code, and to have `exitWith` call `kill()` when given one of these signal codes. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7229#comment:27 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
