#13693: RTS cannot be reinitialized reliably after hs_exit() -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Runtime | Version: 6.10.1 System | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- #2863 added the FFI spec violation to the docs, but as far as I can tell, there is and was no ticket to actually fix the problems, which seem to be: 1. If the runtime is deinitialized by an `hs_exit()` matching the ''first'' `hs_init()`, then it cannot be reinitialized reliably using `hs_init()`. 2. This condition is not detected, and leads to unpredictable behavior. I'll add a link to ''this'' ticket to the user's guide; even if the ticket is ultimately closed as `WONTFIX`, it will be good to have a persistent reference. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13693 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
