#15154: Segmentation fault of ghc-pkg.exe from 32-bit distribution of ghc-8.2.2 on Windows 7 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ki11men0w | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: ghc-pkg | Version: 8.2.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86 | Type of failure: Compile-time | crash or panic Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- On `Windows 7` call of `ghc-pkg` utility from `32-bit` `ghc-8.2.2` distribution is always ended with `Segmentation fault` error. With use of `Cygwin` the error can be reproduced this way: run `cmd.exe` and in the appeared console window execute the following commands {{{#!bash c:\Users\user.name\wrk> bash $ mkdir ghc-pkg-check $ cd ghc-pkg-check $ curl https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.2.2/ghc-8.2.2-i386-unknown- mingw32.tar.xz > ghc-8.2.2-i386-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 163M 100 163M 0 0 3669k 0 0:00:45 0:00:45 --:--:-- 4776k $ xz -dc ghc-8.2.2-i386-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz | tar -xf - $ cd ghc-8.2.2/bin/ $ ./ghc-pkg.exe --version GHC package manager version 8.2.2 Segmentation fault }}} The error arises irrespective of how and with what arguments to call `ghc- pkg` utility. For example, firstly I has faced the problem using `stack` from Windows console: {{{#!bat
stack build --arch=i386 --resolver=11.9 }}}
I checked another distributions of GHC for presence of this bug on `Windows 7`. 64-bit version of ghc-8.2.2, 32-bit and 64-bit versions of ghc-8.0.2 and ghc-8.4.2 are free of the problem. I **did not check** the problem **on another versions** of MS Windows. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15154 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
