#5289: Can't use ghci with a library linked against libstdc++ -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: bos | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.0.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHCi crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by svenpanne): * difficulty: => Unknown Comment: Asking 'gcc --print-file-name' might solve some of the C++ troubles mentioned above, but in general I feel that it is the wrong thing to do: GHCi is not mirroring what would happen at runtime for a compiled program, see e.g. https://github.com/haskell-opengl/OpenGL/issues/42 where the problem is described in length for libGL.so. In that special case it could be argued that the Ubuntu setup is a bit strange, but the C++ stuff above looks equally weird to me, too. IMHO, if dlopen(foo, RTLD_LAZY) succeeds when looking for foo, one should not ask GCC and leave the path to foo as it is. GHCi will use the same mechanism later when loading/resolving symbols, anyway. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5289#comment:47 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
