#14533: Make GHC more robust against PC crashes by using atomic writes -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash or panic | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #14788 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nh2): This was reverted due to a (apparently nondeterministic) build failure on Windows in later builds even though my Winodws validate succeeded. The build that failed for bgamari is https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/jobs/37771 The only thing I can imagine could result in this is when in `withAtomicRename targetFile f`, the action `f` doesn't actually write the file. But why would the assembler ''sometimes'' not do that? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14533#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
