#8376: Static Executable + GHC API (+ Dynamic Linking?) gives Segfault ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: darchon | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by darchon): I want to point out that this bug will affect very _few_ users of GHC, at least initially. The reason: `haddock` will normally be build using dynamic-linking in the normal build/distribution process of GHC; and the dynamically-linked version shows no problems. Only if a user reinstalls `haddock`, e.g. doing a `cabal install haddock --reinstall`, will he encounter the described bug. That is because static- linking is (currently) the default for all executables built using `cabal`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8376#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
