#16291: Document or enable commented-out sanity check in checkStackChunk -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: osa1 | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * type: bug => task Old description:

`checkStackChunk` is currently defined like this:

{{{ void checkStackChunk( StgPtr sp, StgPtr stack_end ) { StgPtr p;

p = sp; while (p < stack_end) { p += checkStackFrame( p ); } // ASSERT( p == stack_end ); -- HWL } }}}

The commented-out assertion makes perfect sense to me, but I can't enable it (causes test failures), and it's not documented why it should not be enabled. I think this catches a bug that needs to be fixed.
