Strange closure type crash when using Template Haskell on OS X Lion
GHCI crashes when I try to use Template Haskell on OS X Lion. To illustrate this, I have a small module, in a file A.hs:
module A where
import Language.Haskell.TH (Exp)
import Language.Haskell.SyntaxTrees.ExtsToTH (parseToTH)
transform :: String -> Either String Exp
transform = parseToTH
ex1 = "42"When I start ghci, load A, and evaluate ex1, and wait a couple seconds I get a crash, that usually reports something like this:
*A> ghc: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 0
(GHC version 7.0.4 for x86_64_apple_darwin)
Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Abort trap: 6Sometimes I get different crash messages as well, such as:
*A> Segmentation fault: 11Here is the transcript of a ghci session:
