#3693: Show stack traces -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: jpet | Owner: Tarrasch Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 6.10.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonpj): Tim Schroeder writes (on Haskell Cafe) Hello, I have developed various profiling and debugging tools in the past, but haven't done any work in that direction for GHC compiled Haskell programs. I thought a good start might be to write a document detailing how the call stack works in GHC, and also write a basic debugger stack trace tool. Here: [https://github.com/blitzcode/ghc-stack] I hope this is helpful to people trying to pin down crashes, and people interested in working on debugging / profiling tools. I'd also really appreciate if somebody with more GHC / RTS knowledge than me would have a look and see if I got things right. Cheers, Tim -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3693#comment:53 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
