I think it's reasonable to say my change triggers the issue, but I don't know why and I need someone who understand the register allocator better (e.g. Simon M) to at least give me some pointers on how to debug this. If this is causing more trouble than build
bot breakages (which is bad enough), let me know and I'll either revert temporarily and or try to work around the issue.<o:p></o:p></p>

Also, how do I repro this if I don't have a x86 machine lying around? Have people been successful working on these kind of issues in a VM?<o:p></o:p></p>

Hello,<br>
<br>
builders running on i386 building for this platform caught issue which shows as a build breakage:<br>
<br>
ghc-stage1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)<br>
(GHC version 7.9.20140624 for i386-unknown-linux):<br>
RegAllocLinear.allocRegsAndSpill: no spill candidates<br>

Please report this as a GHC bug: <a href="http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug" target="_blank">

make[1]: *** [libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build/GHC/PrimopWrappers.o] Error 1<br>

Have a look for example on linux-i386 buildot log here: <a href="http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders/validator1-linux-x86-head/18/7.html" target="_blank">

<br>
Anyway, this happens on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris buildbots on i386 so it's OS independent and probably 32bit/i386 platform specific and it's two days old breakage now. The last two night builds fail on all mentioned buildbots. I'm not sure but perhaps:<br>
<br>
commit d8abf85f8ca176854e9d5d0b12371c4bc402aac3<br>

<br>
triggers that issue? I'm not claiming that the commit is actual culprit, this may be just recently un-hidden issue in linear regs allocator on i386!<br>
<br>
