#365: GHC dies silently with faulty preprocessor ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: josefs | Owner: Phyx- Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: T365 Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D1256 Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by NeilMitchell): Using ShellExecute would probably be the wrong thing to do in this instance. ShellExecute is the right thing to "execute" (or Open) a file in the same way as the "Shell" (e.g. Windows Explorer) would do. In other words, its a generic "open this file" mechanism, not something to run command line tools, which is what you really want here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/365#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
