#8371: ghci byte compiler + FFI crashes when used with embedded R -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: dsamperi | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: GHCi crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by dsamperi): This is just a stab in the dark, but while reviewing the docs on FFI I discovered that it is assumed ints can be used for 64-bit addressing, that is, the difference between two pointer values can be stored in an int. But under Windows this is not so (32-bit ints), and I think R also employs 32-bit ints. If this is the source of the problem then it should show up in both ghc and ghci, but it does not. Again, just a stab in the dark... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8371#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
