It was failing at link time, some problem with terminatePID.
Re-implemented that to not use a C wrapper function, which cleared up the
problem. Removed old EvilLinker hack with must have been related to the
same problem.
Note that I have not tested this with older ghc's. In
f11f7520b5 I mention having tried this
approach before, and getting segfaults.. So, who knows. It seems to work
fine with ghc 7.10 at least.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
The ctrl-c hack used before didn't actually seem to work.
No haskell libraries expose TerminateProcess. I tried just calling it via
FFI, but got segfaults, probably to do with the wacky process handle not
being managed correctly. Moving it all into one C function worked.
This was hell. The EvilLinker hack was just final icing on the cake.
We all know what the cake was made of.
