#12793: Performs unaligned access on SPARC64 --------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: jrtc27 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: sparc | Type of failure: Building GHC failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------+---------------------------------------- (Filed under Architecture: sparc, since there's no sparc64 in the dropdown...) Trying to build GHC on sparc64 currently crashes with a SIGBUS (unaligned access). This is because sparc64 uses the C backend (only 32-bit sparc has native code gen), but is unaware that it can't perform unaligned accesses. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12793 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
