#8089: Implementation of GHC.Event.Poll.poll is broken due to bad coercion -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: merijn | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D407 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by merijn): FWIW, the original test was...rather hacky to begin with. It was basically relying on the test-suite terminating the job after X seconds and producing a timeout, since the original bug caused that program to immediately crash. So prime suspects would be any change in the timeout mechanism of the testsuite producing a different error code. Also, if T8089 terminates when you run it on the commandline something is *obviously* wrong as that program shouldn't exit until, approximately 292,471 years after starting. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8089#comment:21 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
