#10367: "ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgwines | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Keywords: panic | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: | Type of failure: Runtime crash Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When running tasty-hunit tests through `cabal repl`, I get the following error: {{{ ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.8.3 for x86_64-apple-darwin): Loading temp shared object failed: dlopen(/var/folders/l6/v2vhn_3j6bb1yvp6k5sh2hv80000gp/T/ghc80357_0/ghc80357_61.dylib, 9): Symbol not found: __hpc_tickboxes_horsezmcontrolzm0zi1zi0zi0_HorseziCommands_hpc Referenced from: /var/folders/l6/v2vhn_3j6bb1yvp6k5sh2hv80000gp/T/ghc80357_0/ghc80357_61.dylib Expected in: flat namespace in /var/folders/l6/v2vhn_3j6bb1yvp6k5sh2hv80000gp/T/ghc80357_0/ghc80357_61.dylib Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug }}} I have a hunch that it's because I enabled the following flags in my .cabal file, since I didn't get the exception before adding them: {{{ Test-Suite test-horse ... GHC-Options: -fhpc -hpcdir dist/hpc/horse-control-1.0 }}} When I run the tests via `cabal test`, I don't get the exception. I've created a branch that showcases the crash: https://github.com/bgwines /horse-control/tree/ghc-panic Repro steps: * clone repo * cd to repo * run `cabal repl` * run `:l Tests/test-horse.hs` * run `main` Reproducability: 100% Please feel free to contact me if there's information lacking, here! :) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10367 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
