#14291: Tests tend to fail in the ext-interp way when split sections is enabled -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: 13716 Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I'm now looking specifically at the crashing function (`getCallStack`): I can confirm that the argument is completely crazy: {{{
ghc closure $r14 off-heap(0x400c5dd8) ghc symbol 0x400c5dd8 8 bytes into base_DataziData_zdfDataAnyzuzdcgunfold_closure (starts at 0x400c5dd0) }}} That is, the argument is an off-heap value that doesn't even begin on defined symbol. Sheer madness. Let's try to see why.
