#9285: IO manager startup procedure somewhat odd -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: simonmar Type: task | Status: closed Priority: low | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * status: patch => closed * resolution: => wontfix * milestone: 8.4.1 => 8.6.1 Comment: I'm not sure that the proposal in comment:2 is reasonable; this would mean that calling `hs_init_ghc` would be insufficient to fully initialize the runtime environment. This in turn means that users who drive the RTS directly would need to duplicate the IO manager initialization logic. All of this for questionable benefit. I'm going to close this as WONTFIX but do say if there is a different refactoring that you would like to see. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9285#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
