#7985: Allow openFile on unknown file type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: singpolyma | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | 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 singpolyma): * status: closed => new * resolution: invalid => Comment: I mean a filetype that is not one of the currently supported filetypes. The example in question when I opened this was some special kind of QNX file (like a device, but different) -- when patched to allow the handle to be created, operations on it work fine, but by default the program just crashes because it doesn't know how to categorise the file. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7985#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
