#3546: Use of float type in unregistered build freezes program
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Reporter: dterei | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: | Severity: critical
Keywords: float unregistered freezes | Testcase: arith006
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
If you compile a ghc HEAD version in unregistered mode there is a bug that
causes any programs compiled by this ghc to freeze when they try to access
a float.
== build.mk ==
{{{
SRC_HC_OPTS = -O -H64m
GhcStage1HcOpts = -O
GhcStage2HcOpts = -O2
GhcHcOpts = -Rghc-timing
GhcLibHcOpts = -O2 -XGenerics
GhcLibWays += p
SplitObjs = NO
HADDOCK_DOCS = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_HTML = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_PS = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_PDF = NO
GhcUnregisterised = YES
GhcWithNativeCodeGen = NO
}}}
== Program which produces bug: ==
{{{
main = do
putStrLn "Print float test"
putStrLn (show (1.2312341::Float))
}}}
== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Compile latest version of ghc from darcs using the above build.mk
configuration (other build.mk trigger the bug as well, must be
unregistered though).
2. Compile the above haskell program with this ghc.
3. Run the program, it will freeze indefinitely
4. The test case ''arith006'' also triggers the bug.
