#8248: GHCi should not fail to honour ghci.conf or .ghci if group writable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: afcowie | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHC | Difficulty: Unknown rejects valid program | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: #9324 Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by hvr): IMHO, `.ghci` is comparable to `.bash_profile`/`.bashrc` et al, in that it allows code to be injected if not properly protected against users. Otoh, maybe we could define a magic comment to be placed at the start of `.ghci` to disregard this protection. E.g. something simple as {{{ -- insecure :set ... :def ... }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8248#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
