#3635: base-3-compat with 6.12 won't load in GHCi, Template Haskell on Windows
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: libraries/base
Version: 6.12.1 RC1 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Os: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
base3-compat/GHC/Handle.hs needs:
{{{
#ifndef mingw32_HOST_OS
..
#endif
}}}
Wrapped around its export for and definition of unlockFile. This is
because unlockFile is a RTS symbol that is only compiled on non-Windows
OSes. This #ifdef exists in base4, it looks like it was just omitted from
base3.
The result of this bug is that any package using base 3 doesn’t work with
template-haskell or GHCi:
{{{
$ ghci -package base-3.0.3.2
WARNING: GHCi invoked via 'ghci.exe' in *nix-like shells (cygwin-bash, in
particular)
doesn't handle Ctrl-C well; use the 'ghcii.sh' shell wrapper
instead
