#5188: Runtime error when allocating lots of memory ---------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: knyblad | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: GHCi | Version: 6.12.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ---------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): I'm fairly sure that casting -1 to an unsigned type (W_) is undefined in C, because the value is outside the range of the type. Why not use `HS_WORD_MAX`? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5188#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
