#8987: TH: panic in reportWarning when the message throws an exception ---------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: Yuras | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time crash | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ---------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I have not thought about this deeply, but wouldn't something very similar happen with your change? The program will still crash, won't it? Would you like to give a test case? In any case, you are right that if you are going to do this at all, then something deepseq-like would be more thorough. By all means send a patch (with comments to explain). Thanks. Simon -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8987#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
