Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: syscall, sigpause and EINTR on Mac OSX

Though I frorgot to add that deadlock can be caused by signal somewhere else (eg other thread) if signal handler eg locks mutex internally or calls some other non asynchronous safe functions like locking functions. This is likely scenario, if you doubt at signal handlers but I don;t know the details . Deadlocks can be caused by other things, not neccessarily signals. Greetings, Bane.

You are saying that triggering my ^C handler randomly is normal behavior? I understand why it goes to wait for signals but it still does not explain where the signal itself is coming from.

I'm saying that neither is this result of signal, nor stack trace shows that any signal handler is called. It just shows call to await.... and await calls pause. That's all

Strange is that you are using threaded run time (I guess ) but this function is defined only for single threaded variant. This I implied from #if !defined(RTS_SUPPORTS_THREADS)

I'm not using a threaded runtime in this case. It appears that -debug and -threaded are incompatible as I get an error about a mixed debug/ threaded runtime library not being available. I compile with -debug so that I can run +RTS -Ds to check for deadlocks.

Thanks, Joel
