Compiler segfault building floskell in windows 10

Summary

Compiler throws not deterministic segfaults in the floskell package, in the module Floskell.Pretty when building it as dependency of haskell-language-server in windows.

With ghc-8.8.4 and ghc-8.8.3 i ve got:

[10 of 12] Compiling Floskell.Pretty  ( src\Floskell\Pretty.hs, dist\build\Floskell\Pretty.o )

Access violation in generated code when executing data at 0xffffffff8237cb40

D:\bin\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.8.4\bin\ghc-8.8.4.exe returned ExitFailure
11

With ghc-8.10.1:

[10 of 12] Compiling Floskell.Pretty  ( src\Floskell\Pretty.hs, dist\build\Floskell\Pretty.o )
D:\bin\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.10.1\bin\ghc-8.10.1.exe returned ExitFailure
(-1073740791)

Despite the ghc paths i have tested it building with cabal, but the error is thrown with stack as well: Full logs:

However, i have not able to reproduce the error consistently but with windows 10 and ghc-8.8.4.

  • building the package itself works for all ghc versions most of the times
    • so setting the project as a local package in the cabal.project of hls makesthe build work, most of the times
  • i am not able to reproduce it at all in windows 7

Steps to reproduce

Please provide a set of concrete steps to reproduce the issue.

  • pull the haskell-language-server project
  • build with `cabal --store-dir \path\to\new\store build -w ghc-8.8.4

Expected behavior

The compiler should build the module succesfully.

Environment

  • GHC version used: 8.8.3, 8.8.4 and 8.10.1

Optional:

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • System Architecture: 64 bits
