Re: nofib on Shake

My time for this ticket run out and for the foreseeable future I won't be able to do much. We can discuss ideas if you have some. The part of nofib that is called fibno should be replaced with latest version of packages and permanently connected to the test suite. Or removed. This is the only sure conclusion I came to. Everything else is up for debate. W dniu wt., 10.01.2017 o 20:43 Michal Terepeta napisał(a):

I was looking nearby recently and you might want to take into account my discoveries described in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11501

Thanks a lot for mentioning it! (I didn't see this ticket/discussion)

I don't want to get in your way - did you already start working on something? Do you have some concrete plans wrt. nofib?

From my side, I was recently mostly interested in using nofib to measure the performance of GHC itself. Nofib already tries to do that, but it's super flaky (it only compiles things once and most modules are small). So I was thinking of improving this, but when I started to look into it a bit closer, I decided that it might be better to start with the build system ;) And then add options to compile things more than once, add some compile-time only benchmarks, etc.

Thanks, Michal
