#14299: GHCi for GHC 8.2.1 crashed with simple function? --------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: mathiassm | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: GHCi crash Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------------+------------------------------- I'm a newbie here, but I'm following your instructions! I started GHCi, defined a simple factorial function and then called it and... it crashed. {{{#!hs let f 0 = 0 f n = n * f (n-1) f 0 }}} That is what I introduced in the console... After that computer hanged and gave me the following error: {{{ ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 8.2.1 for x86_64-apple-darwin): thread blocked indefinitely in an MVar operation Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14299 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
