#7353: Make system IO interruptible on Windows ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: joeyadams | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.6.1 Keywords: | Os: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: Incorrect result at runtime Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by joeyadams): * blockedby: 7415 => Comment: I don't have time to work on this right now. It's more complicated than I expected: * Making the IOCP approach efficient would involve integration with the scheduler and a better understanding of how IOCP interacts with OS threads. * Couldn't switch to nonblocking sockets by [https://github.com/haskell/network/pull/79 modifying the network package alone], as GHC doesn't actually support custom IO devices. Some Handle methods cast the device to FD so they can read/write directly from/to the device; see #4144 . -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7353#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
