#9839: RTS options parser silently accepts invalid flags -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: adamgundry | Owner: carlostome Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result | Unknown/Multiple at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #4243 | Differential Revisions: Phab:D748 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * status: patch => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Thanks Carlos! The only thing not handled by this patch is checking that arguments that are supposed to be numeric, are actually numeric. Currently `atof` is called on them, which accepts pretty much anything. Maybe a fix for this can be part of #4243. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9839#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
