That's slightly worrying.. Do you happen to know which commit you were on before? I'd like to bisected this.

At commit a4ee28978acbcf68da9dfb6f198cb6e1ff38ccca on the tree I had on my laptop with a validating build. Seems like an error independent of the other issue though. {{{ inplace/bin/ghci.exe -fexternal-interpreter -prof WARNING: GHCi invoked via 'ghci.exe' in MinTTY consoles (e.g., Cygwin or MSYS) doesn't handle Ctrl-C well; use the 'ghcii.sh' shell wrapper instead GHCi, version 8.3.20171003: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help <interactive>:1:19: error: Not in scope: `System.IO.hSetBuffering' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:43: error: Not in scope: `System.IO.stdin' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:60: error: Not in scope: data constructor `System.IO.NoBuffering' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:81: error: Not in scope: `GHC.Base.thenIO' No module named `GHC.Base' is imported. <interactive>:1:99: error: Not in scope: `System.IO.hSetBuffering' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:123: error: Not in scope: `System.IO.stdout' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:140: error: Not in scope: data constructor `System.IO.NoBuffering' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:161: error: Not in scope: `GHC.Base.thenIO' No module named `GHC.Base' is imported. <interactive>:1:179: error: Not in scope: `System.IO.hSetBuffering' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:203: error: Not in scope: `System.IO.stderr' No module named `System.IO' is imported. <interactive>:1:220: error: Not in scope: data constructor `System.IO.NoBuffering' No module named `System.IO' is imported. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14271#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#14271: ghci hangs with -fexternal-interpreter -prof -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AndreasK | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: duplicate | Keywords: RemoteGHCi Operating System: Windows | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHCi crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #16162 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): For the record, I have reported a number of external-interpreter-related testsuite failures on Windows in #16156. The most common failure mode is the test timing-out, which I suspect is due to this hang reported in this ticket. My suspicion is that GHC's logic to detect the death of its `iserv` process is broken on Windows. I did the following to test this: 1. start `ghci -fexternal-interpreter` 2. issue a kill request against its associated interpreter process (using the "kill" command in Process Explorer) 3. try evaluating `print "hello"` 4. observe that `ghci` indeed hangs However, I should note that in this experiment the kill request against the interpreter doesn't actually kill the interpreter process. Rather it seems to merely hang. Issuing a *second* kill command indeed kills it, at which point `ghci` realizes the interpreter is dead and terminates. The backtrace of the interpreter process in its hung state looks like the following: {{{ (gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 6 (Thread 9232.0x19ac): #0 0x00007ffa06549351 in ntdll!DbgBreakPoint () from /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll #1 0x00007ffa065710ba in ntdll!DbgUiRemoteBreakin () from /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll #2 0x00007ffa061c8364 in KERNEL32!BaseThreadInitThunk () from /c/Windows/System32/KERNEL32.DLL #3 0x00007ffa0650e851 in ntdll!RtlUserThreadStart () from /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll #4 0x0000000000000000 in ??
