#13112: Windows 64-bit GHC HEAD segfaults on the code with a lot of TH stuff. --------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: awson | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Currently GHC HEAD segfaults on Windows 64-bit when compiling `language-c-quote-0.11.7.1` package. It spits something like `Access violation in generated code when executing data at 0000000102fbcf40` (I'm using my #13108 patch here). After repeated run, when GHC hasn't recompile all files, but only part of them, it succeeds. If I delete intermediate files and repeat clean compilation, it segfaults again. Haddock always segfaults (since it always recompile all files), more details here: https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/568. Since these access violations consistently happen on executable data at virtual addresses above 4GB mark, this very much smells as a GHC bytecode generator/linker issue. I believe, GHC and Haddock succeed exactly when all executable addresses stay below 4GB mark. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13112 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
