Re: FYI: removing `fibon`

Ok, thanks Gracjan! Ben, could I ask you to pull from: https://github.com/michalt/nofib/tree/fibon (https://github.com/michalt/nofib.git branch `fibon`) Or if you prefer Phab, let me know if there's some magic incantation to make it work with this patch (`arc` currently crashes for me) Thanks, Michal On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 9:32 PM Gracjan Polak wrote:

I'm not working on it and do not plan to start again.

Looks like fibon never worked and wasn't used for anything, so it should be removed. Still it would make sense to replace this code with something used as part of normal nofib test cases.

Hi all,

I wanted to remove `fibon` (from `nofib`) - it's broken, abandoned upstream (no commits in 5 years) and I'm not aware of anyone using it or working on it. At this point I don't think it makes sense to try to revive it - I'd prefer putting the time/effort into getting a few new benchmarks.

There were already discussions about removing it in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11501

If someone is actually working on getting it to work again, please shout!

Thanks, Michal

PS. I've tried uploading the patch to Phab, but I think it's just too large (arc is crashing). So I've uploaded it to github: https://github.com/michalt/nofib/tree/fibon
