For loading large amounts of code into GHCi, you want to add -j<n> +RTS
-A128m where <n> is the number of cores on your machine. We've found that
parallel compilation works really well in GHCi provided you use a nice
large allocation area for the GC. This dramatically speeds up working with
large numbers of modules in GHCi. (500 is small!)

Hi all,
Csongor has informed me that he has worked out how to load GHC into GHCi which can then be used with ghcid for a more interactive development experience.
1. Put this .ghci file in compiler/
https://gist.github.com/mpickering/73749e7783f40cc762fec171b879704c
2. Run "../inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive -odir tmp -hidir tmp" from inside compiler/
It may take a while and require a little bit of memory but in the end all 500 or so modules will be loaded.
It can also be used with ghcid.
ghcid -c "../inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive -odir tmp -hidir tmp"
Hopefully someone who has more RAM than I.
Can anyone suggest the suitable place on the wiki for this information?
Cheers,
Matt _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
