#15155: How untagged pointers sneak into banged fields -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: heisenbug | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: CodeGen Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: 14677 Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by heisenbug): While investigating I came across http://blog.omega-prime.co.uk/2011/07/06 /the-sad-state-of-symbol-aliases from Max Bolingbroke. Looks like linux does not support aliasing of an external symbol. That is sad. Need to re- check linker script definitions. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15155#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
