RE: Illegal instruction in getgrnam_r ()

Here is a little program that produces some interesting results on at least 2 platforms. Both systems were using 6.0.1. This (silly) program works on x86-linux. It produces an illegal instruction SIGILL on a sparc, and there is some OS-related problem on FreeBSD and OpenBSD (which is my

RE: Possible compiler bug

I was playing around with GHC and my compiled dll-library of wxHaskell(see sourceForge for details). The compilation was done with the last versions of msys and MinGW. In the GHC usersguide, I saw that it was possible to link libraries with GHCi. So I thought, ok lets try that.

RE: segfault with heap profiling.

I've been getting a segfault whenever I try to run my program with +RTS -hc (having compiled with profiling enabled). Any idea what might cause this, or how I might track it down? I am using ghc 6.0.1, and see this problem on both linux (debian testing) and macos X. On macos X the

garbage collection and Ptr/ForeignPtr/StablePtr

Should I expect that Ptr memory allocated with malloc is garbage collected when no longer used by the Haskell runtime? The FFI spec doesn't say so explicitly (that I could see); AFAICT this is how the pointer types behave: Ptr : freed when no longer used/referenced ForeignPtr : like Ptr, but
