Hi all, On sparc, GHC is failing when building hmake as below:
----- /usr/bin/haskell-compiler -package lang -c -o /build/buildd/hmake-3.08/targets/sparc-Linux/obj/hmake/QSort.o QSort.hs /usr/bin/haskell-compiler -package lang -c -o /build/buildd/hmake-3.08/targets/sparc-Linux/obj/hmake/Unlit.o Unlit.hs ghc-6.2.1: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.2.1): charToUtf8 1883885648 Please report it as a compiler bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/. ----- "ghc -package lang -c Unlit.hs -v9 2> /dev/null" ends like this in the Desugar section: lit_aWG :: GHC.Base.Int lit_aWG = lit_aVV classify :: GHC.Base.Int -> [GHC.Base.String] -> [Unlit.Classified] classify = \ ds_dYb :: GHC.Base.Int ds_dY9 :: [GHC.Base.String] -> let { fail_dYk :: [Unlit.Classified] fail_dYk = GHC.Err.patError (no final newline) whereas on x86 it continues: lit_aWG :: GHC.Base.Int lit_aWG = lit_aVV classify :: GHC.Base.Int -> [GHC.Base.String] -> [Unlit.Classified] classify = \ ds_dYb :: GHC.Base.Int ds_dY9 :: [GHC.Base.String] -> let { fail_dYk :: [Unlit.Classified] fail_dYk = GHC.Err.patError @ [Unlit.Classified] "Unlit.hs:22|function classify" } in let { fail_d102 :: [Unlit.Classified] fail_d102 = let { fail_dYs :: [Unlit.Classified] fail_dYs = case ds_dY9 of wild_B1 { I would guess this is a problem where an 8-bit character is converted to a unicode character without the high bits being zeroed somewhere? I've put a copy of Unlit.hs at http://urchin.earth.li/~ian/Unlit.hs and the sparc output at http://urchin.earth.li/~ian/Unlit.sparc_out Thanks Ian _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
