#13452: Lock .tix file -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Code Coverage | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The HPC documentation [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/profiling.ht... #caveats-and-shortcomings-of-haskell-program-coverage warns] that
HPC does not attempt to lock the `.tix` file, so multiple concurrently running binaries in the same directory will exhibit a race condition.
This sounds like something that shouldn't be too terribly hard to fix, once we determine exactly how we want to deal with contention. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13452 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
