#8291: unloadObj doesn't work, unloaded_objects list keeps growing in size ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | simonmar Priority: highest | Status: new Component: Runtime System | Milestone: 7.8.1 Resolution: | Version: 7.7 Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Keywords: Type of failure: Incorrect result at runtime | Architecture: Test Case: linker_unload | Unknown/Multiple Blocking: | Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): Of course, it isn't triggering on my machine, because for some reason your fix for #5435 isn't working on my machine either. The stable pointer isn't getting created because the constructor isn't being run. I'll try to look into this further. FWIW this is 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04, with gcc 4.6.3 and binutils 2.22. I'll also need to figure out a way to unload objects that have stable pointers created by the constructor for the object itself. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8291#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
