#7229: Detecting if a process was killed by a signal is impossible --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: benmachine | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries/process | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by andersk): It looks like the current HEAD still uses the ambiguous (128 + signal) return codes from comment:3. I don’t pretend to speak for the developers, but from the following comments it looks like everyone agrees that committing to this API would be a mistake. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7229#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
