#8698: .ctors handling does not work on Windows 64-bit ghci -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: awson | Owner: ezyang Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: GHCi crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by thoughtpolice): You can set yourself up a 64bit Windows MSYS environment following this if you don't have one already: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Windows/MSYS2 FWIW, me and Herbert also saw this failure. It can be triggered by a vanilla perf build, i.e. just clone and: {{{ $ ./boot; ./configure $ make }}} should trigger it while building stage2 libraries. Note that for some exceptionally strange reason, me and Herbert could not produce these results with `./validate` - you must do a regular perf build. I have not merged Kyra's patch for #7134 yet - so right now the build should still fail, no patches necessary. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8698#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
