Interesting. This is reproducible on my machine (OSX 10.7.5), with an older GHC: $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3 Check out this ticket https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7655 Alex On 2014-10-17, at 11:46 AM, Erik Rantapaa wrote:
Running ghci under OSX I am seeing the following behavior:
Prelude> 2^750000 {... lots of digits...}
Prelude> 2^760000 Segmentation Fault: 11
Prelude> 2^770000 Bus Error: 10
and I'm curious why this happens.
More details:
$ ghci --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.3
I'm using the 64-bit version of the Haskell Platform (x86_64-darwin-7.8.3).
