#15032: GHCi panics when attempting to load archives ----------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: vanessamchale | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 8.4.2-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: GHCi crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ----------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Description changed by vanessamchale: Old description:
If I have the following module:
{{{#!hs module Numeric.Integer ( is_prime_ats ) where
import Foreign.C
foreign import ccall is_prime_ats :: CInt -> CBool }}}
and I attempt to open it in GHCi with the following
{{{ /opt/ghc/bin/ghci-8.4.2 -lnumbertheory -L../dist-newstyle/lib Numeric.Common }}}
(with a file `libnumertheory.a` in `../dist-newstyle/lib`)
If I instead place a shared library (i.e. `libnumbertheory.so`) in `../dist-newstyle/lib`) then this does not panic.
I get a panic and a request to open a bug report. I am guessing that at the least this supposed to be a different error message.
