#5448: GHC stuck in infinite loop compiling with optimizations -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ronwalf | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: ⊥ Component: Compiler | Version: 7.0.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #3872 #5400 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): comment:5 make it panic (with a helpful message) rather than looping. So that's an improvement. Better still would be to avoid looping or running out of fuel. But I have no idea how to do that. A modest improvement would be to produce a more civilised halt rather than a panic. But I don't think it's trivial to do so, and it's cosmetic so perhaps not that important. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5448#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
