#8039: RTS linker: unloadObj() does not actually unload the code ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: simonmar | Owner: simonmar Type: task | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by simonmar): @igloo: yes, I have `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO` in my `mk/build.mk`. I don't know how to do this with the system linker yet, because there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get hold of the start and end address of the image in memory - there's a fairly complex API in `rtld-audit`, but even that only seems to give you the start address. Anyway, for the application I need this for, we're using the RTS linker and not shared libraries. So please don't make the RTS linker go away :-) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8039#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
