Comment (by varosi):

 Thank you first for the thorough answer!

 > The reason the error is uninformative is because the location of your
 segfault occurred in a location for which there is no source information.

 Is it possible to give some stack trace in such situation instead just
 "Segmentation fault/access violation in generated code"? I mean even if
 exact throwing place is not known, but only partial stack trace
 information. Or you mean that in GHC 8.4 partial stack information will be
 possible?
