#9795: Debug.Trace.trace is too strict -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jcpetruzza | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: Phab:D654 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): That's a separate issue to the one the original bug report was about, though. The surprising behavior is that `trace a b` can evaluate `b` before printing `a`, and if evaluation of `b` enters an infinite loop, `a` will never be printed at all. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9795#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
