#8464: ghc -C crashes on Hello World ---------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: ygramoel | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Compile-time crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ---------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by ygramoel): Thanks for the very fast reply. I agree with monoidal: GHC should not panic if you just use its flags incorrectly. Resolution "invalid" seems inappropriate, "duplicate" (of #5582) would have been more appropriate. BTW: I have tried to reproduce the problem on ghc-7.6.3, but was not able to install it: see #8465. The reason for using -C was essentially just curiosity. I was trying to get more insight in how Haskell is translated to executable code. I am sure that there must be useful documents explaining this, but sometimes looking at code for concrete examples helps. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8464#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
