#14503: Killing a thread will block if there is another process reading from a handle -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dnadales | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dnadales): Thanks for checking this out. I've tried your example with GHC 8.2.1, and it also hangs when killing the reader. I'm also running a 64-bit version of Windows 10, so I don't know what might be happening. How did you launch the two processes? On a Unix like terminal emulator? (I've tried on MINGW64, but there it is even worse since I don't see any output). In my case I was using Windows Power Shell, but I get the same result in the old Windows Command Prompt. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14503#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
