#8862: forkProcess does not play well with heap or time profiling ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: bennofs | Owner: Type: bug | simonmar Priority: normal | Status: new Component: Runtime System | Milestone: Resolution: | Version: 7.6.3 Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Keywords: Type of failure: Incorrect result at runtime | Architecture: Test Case: | Unknown/Multiple Blocking: | Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): Are you using the threaded runtime? Maybe it would make sense for the profiling subsystem to use `pthread_atfork` to ensure that the `.hp` file is closed in any child processes? (Does that exist on Windows?) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8862#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
