#15700: Plugins cause GHC to panic: cannot find dynamic libraries -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sheaf | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.6.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash or panic | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #15492 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Phyx-): Don't know, I only briefly looked at the implementation. as it currently is, it requires DynWay. but even before 13105a1ae870da6936a27cdd1d6a4bd25a661368 the only way it could work without being a shared library is if the plugin is "local", in which case it would load the object file. The comments around the code before the change suggest this shouldn't be possible, but who knows, it didn't abort before so maybe it did eventually find something to load. So maybe that's what was happening before, it thought the plugin was local instead of an external one. Dunno, never looked at plugins for longer then 30mins. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15700#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
