> 2^32 b, 6.6 for Itanium
Dear GHC developers, I have the two questions. 1. How ghc-6.6 runs on 64-bit machines having more that 2^32 byte memory ? Can it run into "Segmentation fault" ? 2. Can you prepare a reliable ghc-6.6 binary for Itanium a64 Linux ? Or maybe, someone can contribute ? One of my colleagues says the following. ------------------------------------- He has taken such a binary from
(http://www.haskell.org/ghc/distribution_packages.html#debian),
somehow installed it and tried to make from source. It reports
/tmp/ghc12430_0/ghc12430_0.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ghc12430_0/ghc12430_0.s:51:0: Error: Operand 1 of `mov' should be a general register
(though, I have not looked so far, in how all this was done). Regards, ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru

It's a bug if it does.

If you just try to do a source build without any mk/build.mk then it will try to do a registerised build, which is unlikely to work. If you put GhcUnregisterised=YES GhcWithNativeCodeGen=NO GhcWithInterpreter=NO SplitObjs=NO GhcNotThreaded=YES in mk/build.mk before building then it should work. Thanks Ian
