#7814: panic in PPC NCG --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: heisenbug | Owner: heisenbug Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: powerpc Failure: Building GHC failed | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by heisenbug): * owner: => heisenbug Comment: * [6:52pm] gabor: solution is this: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/cmm/CmmPipeline.hs#L183 * [6:52pm] gabor: splitting has to happen on PPC/ELF too * [6:54pm] Igloo: Could you send a patch please, including another "The situation is the same" section for PPC/ELF (or altering the existing ong if the asm is identical) * [6:54pm] Igloo: And thanks for tracking this down! * [7:01pm] gabor: Igloo: this is my first hunch, will test. But maybe PPC/ELF has actually consistent PIC-reg, in which case we have to dig deeper. But for now I'll go this route and check stuff later * [7:02pm] gabor: with domain experts (e.g. the LLVM list) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7814#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
