#9878: Static pointers in GHCi cause panic -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: monoidal | Owner: facundo.dominguez Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: GHCi crash | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): If it doesn't work in GHCi, then yes it should be documented. And what is "it"? I think it's the `static` construct itself. Calling `deRefStaticPtr` is fine. But also it should be checked! The renamer or typechecker should produce a civilised error message when they encounter `static` in GHCi.
