#10320: -ddump-to-file should create empty dump files when there was nothing to dump -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D1514 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): Replying to [comment:10 tvv]:
How about to switch back to Phab:D1514 Diff 5330? It fixes the ticket's issue and does not introduce any side-effects like described.
`pipeLoop` could be throwing exceptions, and dump files should be closed when that happens (there could be ghc api users recovering from the exception). Maybe someone else can have a look? It can't be //that// hard to fix this issue properly? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10320#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
