#9001: unexpected runtime crash -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: jwlato | Owner: simonmar Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by rwbarton): It looks like the stack overflows in a long sequence of `stg_ap_*` function calls and the overflow isn't detected until a point at which `Sp` is not only less than `SpLim` but even less than the start of the stack segment, whereupon bad things happen. Isn't it bad that these `stg_ap_*_fast` functions push things onto the stack without checking for overflow? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9001#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
