#11682: :main doesn't use a bound thread -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dmwit | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Here is a short program: {{{ import Control.Concurrent main = do bound <- isCurrentThreadBound print (bound == rtsSupportsBoundThreads) }}} When compiled (with or without {{{-threaded}}}), it prints {{{True}}}. When executed via {{{runhaskell}}} or via ghci's {{{:main}}} command, it prints {{{False}}}. It would be nicer if it printed {{{True}}} in all of these cases, in particular to ease interactive development of GUI code and the like. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11682 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
