#7229: Detecting if a process was killed by a signal is impossible --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: benmachine | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries/process | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by andersk): `safeExit` should just ignore the coredump flag. (The process can’t control whether the `SIG_DFL` action for that signal results in a core dump—the list of such signals is defined by the kernel, e.g. `SIG_KERNEL_COREDUMP_MASK` in Linux.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7229#comment:32 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
