#12000: static pointer in ghci -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: | StaticPointers Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9878 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by facundo.dominguez): I'm testing the master branch of GHC. I can reproduce this without using the static form. {{{ Prelude> c = 'a' Prelude> c <interactive>:9:1: error: Variable not in scope: c }}} The crash reported later, I can't see. {{{
let a = static id Prelude> a
<interactive>:6:1: error: • No instance for (Data.Typeable.Internal.Typeable a0) arising from a use of ‘it’ • In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it }}} That said, the static pointers produced in GHCi can only be found later if they are created in compiled (and later loaded) modules. Entering a static form at the prompt won't make it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12000#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
