#7956: ghci segfaults with -vN command-line options -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mvanier | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: ghci, -v0, segfault Os: MacOS X | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: GHCi crash | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Comment(by mvanier): Update: Apparently the problem is worse than I thought. Not only the -vN options but also the -W command-line option, or even no command-line option at all, can result in a segfault. It's also sporadic; some times invoking ghci works fine, other times it segfaults. ghci -v0 seems to segfault every time, ghci -W or ghci with no command-line options only about half the time. This is on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8, on a Mac Pro 64-bit machine with Xeon processors. I used the 64-bit Haskell Platform. Earlier installs of the Haskell Platform all worked fine, and I cleared them out before installing this one. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7956#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
