#11180: A program writing to a read-only stdout should not succeed -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: thomie | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): That seems needlessly spiteful and different from every other language and will cause many more data loss problems. It's traditionally the programmer's responsibility to close handles that they opened, but the handles `stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr` are opened automatically and so it makes sense to close them automatically too, or at least behave as though they are closed (by flushing the buffers). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11180#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
