Hello,
I have just tried compiling my code with 8.4.2 and using -fmax-pmcheck-iterations=0, I gave GHC 12GB of ram and it still ran out (through `ulimit -v$((1024*1024*12))`).
Hmmm, I'm a bit confused. Why are our results so different? How precisely are you invoking GHC?
Here I meant my whole code, not just the repro. I could have been more clear. Nevertheless, I'm calling it through stack:
I'll admit that I am a bit lost; Minimal.hs compiles for me with a maximum residency of ~3.5 GBytes with both -O1 and the PM check enabled using GHC 8.4.1. Is this not the repro you are referring to?
I get the same behavior as you for Minimal.hs. The "my code" above referred to the whole library that I'm developping. In fact, the Minimal.hs file contains a distilled version of that library with a template haskell splice that we are trying to use in one of our fully fledged examples. Do you want me to produce a larger "NotSoMinimal.hs" closer to the real thing? Cheers, Victor
