#7299: threadDelay broken in ghci, Mac OS X ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: tmcdonell | Owner: igloo Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.1 Keywords: | Os: MacOS X Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: GHCi crash Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: 3658 | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by simonmar): The state in `libraries/base/cbits/DarwinUtils.c` would explain why `threadDelay` would return immediately in GHCi, but I don't see anything that would cause it to crash. In any case, the fix is to move `initialize_timer` and `scaling_factor` into the RTS (or maybe just use the existing RTS facilities). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7299#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
