#9907: "Unknown PEi386 section name `.text$printf'" error in GHCi on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mmikolajczyk | Owner: Phyx- Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.3 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: GHCi crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #7103, #10051, | Differential Revisions: Phab:D671 #7056, #8546 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Phyx-): @thoughtpolice Yes there will be a fix :) I have changed the code to identify most of the sections based on the flags in the PE file instead of the section names. So we don't have to keep a list of white-listed sections, so it should be much more resilient to changes. The only sections still being ignored by names are a few debugging ones, but it's fine since those are reserved names and currently we don't do debug section relocations. I'm just trying to find where the constant 17 comes from, but from looking at the generated .s files, I think this might be a bug in GAS. I'll submit a diff this weekend after I finish checking if the related bug reports are also fixed :) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9907#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
