#9285: IO manager startup procedure somewhat odd -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 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 duncan): Actually it looks like `forkProcess` is already simpler. It only calls `ioManagerStartCap(&cap);` because it's already in the context of holding the capability. So in summary, we're suggesting that in the rts startup we should be using `ioManagerStartCap(&cap);` in a context where we already hold the initial cap and before we run main. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9285#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
