#8039: RTS linker: unloadObj() does not actually unload the code --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: simonmar | Owner: simonmar Type: task | Status: closed Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: rts/linker_unload | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by heisenbug): I have pushed a new branch on my github ghc fork. It [https://github.com/ggreif/ghc/commit/206a4871a0e61f03668be5ed8f75faca603c137... contains just one commit], about unloading `dlopen`ed shared object files. It is actually untested, and non-windows. But it may be of use for doing what Simon did with unloading `.o` files in this ticket. Might be interesting to folks. Of course the GC must be wired up in a similar fashion, etc. Be careful. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8039#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
