reporting bugs
- Glasgow Haskell is a changing system so there are sure to be
- bugs in it.
-
- To report a bug, either:
-
-
-
- Preferred: Create
- a new bug, and enter your bug report. You can also
- search the bug database here to make sure your bug hasn't already
- been reported (if it has, it might still help to add information
- from your experience to the existing report).
-
-
- Bug reports can also be emailed to
- glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org.
-
-
-
-
- How do I tell if I should report my bug?
-
- Take a look at the FAQ and , which will give you some guidance as to
- whether the behaviour you're seeing is really a bug or
- not.
-
- If it is a bug, then it might have been reported before:
- try searching on the bug tracker,
- and failing that, try Google.
+
+ Glasgow Haskell is a changing system so there are sure to be
+ bugs in it. If you find one, please see
+ this wiki page
+ for information on how to report it.

- If in doubt, just report it.

- The name of the bug-reporting game is: facts, facts,
- facts. Don't omit them because “Oh, they won't be
- interested…”
-
-
-
- What kind of machine are you running on, and exactly
- what version of the operating system are you using? (on a
- Unix system, uname -a or cat
- /etc/motd will show the desired information.) In
- the bug tracker, this information can be given in the
- “Architecture” and “Operating
- system” fields.
-
-
-
- What version of GCC are you using? gcc -v will tell you.
-
-
-
- Run the sequence of compiles/runs that caused the
- offending behaviour, cut-and-paste the whole session into
- the bug report. We'd prefer to see the whole thing.
-
-
-
- Add the -v flag when running GHC, so we can see exactly
- what was run, what versions of things you have, etc.

- What is the program behaviour that is wrong, in your
- opinion?

- If practical, please attach or send enough source
- files for us to duplicate the problem.

-
- If you are a Hero and track down the problem in the
