#13888: GHC 8.0.2 panics when trying a simple snippet involving Parsec -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: timmyjose | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Keywords: parsec, | Operating System: MacOS X ghc8.0.2, macOS Sierra | Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Compile-time (amd64) | crash or panic Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I am working through "Create your own Scheme in 48 hours", and the following program: $ cat SimpleParser.hs import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec hiding (spaces) symbol :: Parser Char symbol = anyOf "!$%&|*+-/:<=?>@^_^~#" causes GHC to crash and burn with a panic message.
