#8380: Numerous testsuite failures on ARM due to missing mkJumpToAddr -------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: bgamari Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: patch Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: arm Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by thoughtpolice): Actually, I was missing something when I dove into the code. :) We actually need `ffi_prep_closure_loc` in order to clear the cache for us on ARM, which we don't do in the `allocateExec` path. In which case, we need to flush the cache explicitly. I'm bumping the priority on this since it's perhaps the biggest bug left for ARM. I'll integrate Ben's mkJumpToAddr patch and double check we clear things appropriately. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8380#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
