#7653: incorrect handling of StackOverflow exception in the event manager ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: nus | Owner: tibbe Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Os: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: Runtime crash Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by kazu-yamamoto): First of all, I would like to discuss what is the best behavior when the stack of IO manager overflows. Note that in the current parallel IO manager, timer manager and IO managers are separated. We should apply this discussion to the timer manager. A comment to the first patch: even if we set manager's FD to -1, nobody refers to it. What is the purpose of this patch? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7653#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
