Re: [Haskell-cafe] Access violation when stack haddock haskell-src-exts since LTS 12.0

Hi cafe, Is there anyone on this list that can explain how to replace the haddock executable to solve the problem below? I replaced some haddock binary (which I build adding haddock-api-2.20.0 to my global stack config and doing stack install haddock), and I now have: $ ~/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.4.3/bin/haddock --version Haddock version 2.20.0, (c) Simon Marlow 2006 Ported to use the GHC API by David Waern 2006-2008 This seems to be the latest Haddock release (and I am using Stack 1.7.1 which is also the latest), but my `stack haddock` build still results the same error as below (ExitFailure (-11)).

Hi,

How does confirm that this bug is being hit. `stack haddock haskell-src-exts` on LTS-12.1 fails with the following cryptic error:

    --  While building custom Setup.hs for package haskell-src-exts-1.20.2 using: /home/vl/.stack/setup-exe-cache/x86_64-linux/Cabal-simple_mPHDZzAJ_2.2.0.1_ghc-8.4.3 --builddir=.stack-work/dist/x86_64-linux/Cabal-2.2.0.1 haddock --html --hoogle --html-location=../$pkg-$version/ --haddock-option=--hyperlinked-source     Process exited with code: ExitFailure (-11)     Logs have been written to: /home/vl/vacationlabs/haskell/.stack-work/logs/haskell-src-exts-1.20.2.log

The log file doesn't contain an error.

How does one upgrade the haddock version and get stack to use it?

Thank you very much!

I confirmed the replaced haddock executable can successfully generate the docs!

Yesterday I had quite some trouble because of the Haddock problem, too, and I guess I'm not alone: haskell-src-exts has 165 direct reverse dependencies, so probably hundreds of Hackage packages are affected by this. The workaround is simple (don't use --haddock with stack), but far from satisfying and not very obvious.

Given the fact that this affects a very central piece of the Haskell infrastructure in its latest stable incarnation (GHC 8.4.3): Can we have an 8.4.4 with a fixed Haddock? _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org mailto:ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
