#7719: System.Timeout.timeout may leak <<timeout>> exceptions -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: int-e | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: libraries/base Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment(by int-e): Together with nus on IRC, we found a possible solution to that latest puzzle: {{{timeout}}} creates threads using {{{forkIOWithUnmask}}} but those threads will still have exceptions blocked initially - so if the thread is never run, then a {{{killThread}}} call targeting it may still block. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7719#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
