[GHC] #7702: Memory Leak in CoreM (CoreWriter)

#7702: Memory Leak in CoreM (CoreWriter) -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: afarmer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.6.2 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Compile-time performance bug | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- While running HERMIT on extended examples, we noticed that the CoreWriter component of CoreM is building up unevaluated SimplCount expressions. Attached is a one line patch to make the field in the CoreWriter record strict, which fixes the leak. Also attached are heap profiles before and after to verify the fix. (You'll notice we have other memory leaks in HERMIT to address, the important bit being the big CoreWriter peak is gone in after.pdf.) These were generated by running a large number of HERMIT transformations in a batch, with HERMIT calling ghc with +RTS -hT -RTS. I'm not sure how this affects compilation time or allocation when SimplCount is not the VerySimplCount constructor. Would the nofib suite answer these questions? -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7702> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #7966: 'make distclean' does not work in nofib

#7966: 'make distclean' does not work in nofib -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: NoFib benchmark suite Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Other | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I noticed that `make distclean` and `make maintainer-clean` don't work for nofib because `distclean` and `maintainer-clean` targets are not defined in the `nofib-analyse/Makefile`. This seems easy to fix - it's enough to change `clean:` to `clean distclean maintainer-clean:` in the mentioned `Makefile`. After this fix is applied it turns out that the cleaning commands leave some garbage in the nofib tree: - output files from cachegrind are not removed. This can be fixed by adding `cachegrind.out*` on line 250 in `mk/ghc-paths.mk` - these files are not deleted: {{{ real/maillist/addresses.tex shootout/fasta/fasta-c shootout/fasta/fasta.stdout shootout/k-nucleotide/fasta-c shootout/k-nucleotide/knucleotide-input2500000.txt shootout/reverse-complement/fasta-c shootout/reverse-complement/revcomp-c shootout/reverse-complement/revcomp-input2500000.txt shootout/reverse-complement/reverse-complement.stdout }}} I'm not sure on the best way of fixing the second issue so I'm not attaching my own patch. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7966> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#7401: Can't derive instance for Eq when datatype has no constructor, while it is trivial do do so. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: jpbernardy | Owner: monoidal Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.1 Keywords: deriving | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: GHC rejects valid program Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by simonpj): Two more thoughts * You point out in #7931, this already works for standalone deriving, which is a bit odd. Standalone and non-standalone deriving should behave pretty much the same. * When I say "works" what I mean is that, for nullary types, all methods `foo` get this definition: {{{ foo = error "Void foo" }}} This is done in `TcGenDeriv.mkRdrFunBind`. Several points: * Is this always the right thing to do? For every method, and every class? Eg for `Read` it wasn't; see #7931. Needs checking. * We could also generate {{{ foo x y = error "Void foo" }}} (ie with the error inside the lambdas) which isn't quite the same. I'm not sure which is right. * Including the name of the type constructor in the error message would be a lot more helpful. Thanks!

Concerning your question, I think it would be fine for `-XEmptyDataDecls` to imply that we can derive `Eq` etc for them. No need for a second flag. What would be good would be some documentation in the user manual (in the empty data decls section) that says what is derived for the standard build-in classes.
