#12875: GHC fails to link all StaticPointers-defining modules of a library in an executable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: | StaticPointers Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Can you explain a bit more what the problem is? In the description what is `things1`? In general if a Haskell process deserialises, say from a network message, the key of a static pointer, there is no guarantee that it'll be in its SPT. Also I don't understand the API. What's unsafe about looking up a static pointer? Surely we shouldn't be exposing low-level details like fingerprints? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12875#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
