#7655: 7.6.2 Segmentation Fault/Bus Error in large exponentation -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: Doug310 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: exponentiation Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: GHCi crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by carter): I'll add more of my system information shortly (just got off a plane. ). But the biggest difference is I'm using a real GCC. AND my build of ghc was built with it. Your GCC is actually clang. I'm on a very up to date OS X 10.9 machine too. I'll confirm that shortly though. The fact that you have something like @ArSupportsAtFile@ being passed to AR makes me think that the build of ghc went wrong. OR perhaps there's a problem with how clang works as an assembler on OS X? ILL do a clang build of the RC myself to try to replicate this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7655#comment:23 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
