#8089: Implementation of GHC.Event.Poll.poll is broken due to bad coercion -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: merijn | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.6.3 libraries/base | Keywords: patch Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: Runtime | Related Tickets: crash | Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by merijn): Replying to [comment:4 thoughtpolice]:
I currently can't reproduce this on amd64/Linux. I'll get my OS X machine out and try and merge it tomorrow.
Right, the only effect on linux right now is that it will block indefinitely, rather than some finite time, which only matters if there's no wake-ups, which seems very unlikely to ever happen. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8089#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
