#13624: loadObj() does not respect alignment -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tmcdonell | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.0.1 (Linker) | Resolution: | Keywords: linker 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 bgamari): For the record, each segment has an associated set of permission flags. IIRC, two sections of mapping characteristics won't end up in the same segment. However, we nevertheless can't use segments for an unrelated reason: only executables and shared objects are organized into segments. Our runtime linker is only concerned with object files, which have no useful segment organizations AFAIK. Oh well. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13624#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
