There is a bug in ghci 6.10.1 that seems to be fixed in 6.10.3 (not sure whether it's fixed in 6.10.3). Certain non-terminating expressions causes ghci to crash immediately and go back to the prompt: ---------------------------------------- C:\>ghci GHCi, version 6.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude> let loop = loop in loop C:\> ---------------------------------------- Compiling a module with a non-terminating expression first with ghc and then loading it in ghci does not seem to result in a crash. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
