#10793: Incorrect blocked on MVar detection -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: NeilMitchell | Owner: simonmar Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by simonmar): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: This is working as intended. At the time the forked thread is deadlocked, the main thread is also deadlocked (the dependency between them is not visible to the GC). If you want to keep the main thread alive manually, you can do this: {{{ newStablePtr =<< myThreadId }}} from the main thread. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10793#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
