#8376: Static Executable + GHC API (+ Dynamic Linking?) gives Segfault ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: darchon | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): The problem is not in Haddock, it's the GHC API. GHC's linker is using dynamic linking even when the program using the GHC API is linked statically, because it is using the value of `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS`, which is set when GHC is built. We might not be able to support using the GHC API from a statically linked binary on all platforms, because it depends on having a working RTS linker, and that's what we wanted to move away from. But I think we can support it at least on ELF platforms where the RTS linker works for most things. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8376#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
