#7684: cgrun071 segfaults ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: cgrun071 | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by tibbe): I don't want to fix anything without understanding what the problem is first. There's nothing wrong with {{{ extern StgWord hs_popcnt8(StgWord8 x); }}} so why is the compiler doing the wrong thing? Aside: if we can one day fix Word8 to actually use a Word8# behind the scene changing the signature of the C function would be wrong. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7684#comment:34 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
