#8941: Module that causes GHC-7.8 to exhaust memory compiled with -O2 ------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------- The module is JSON.Render in http://src.seereason.com/o2bug. When compiled ghc uses up at least 16GB of RAM and then dies. I haven't been able to simplify it very much, almost any change to JSON.Render causes it to start working properly. I did get it to fail using only packages available in hackage. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8941> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

And anything stripable should be striped, if it isn't already. It would be great if the configuration script would support a --minimal option. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8086> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8085: Both GHC and its installer don't run on current Debian Stable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ppetr | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: GHC doesn't work Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | at all hour) | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently it's not possible to run GHC or its installer. It fails with: {{{ ghc: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory }}} The problem is that the current Debian stable is Wheezy and it uses a newer version of libgmp. Proposed solution: Recompile on a recent Debian stable (Wheezy). Applies to x86_64 as well, most likely all architectures supported by Debian are affected. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #10121: operational semantics is incomplete?

#10121: operational semantics is incomplete? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: javran | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.8.4 Documentation | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I was trying to read `docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf` to understand the operational semantics for core language. So I started off by playing with operational semantics rules manually. But I found the following expression gets stuck: {{{#!hs v1 = let fix = \f -> let x = f x in x pf = \f x -> if x == 0 then x else f (pred x) in (fix pf) 2 -- S_LETNONREC v2 = ((\f -> let x = f x in x) (\f x -> if x == 0 then x else f (pred x))) 2 -- S_APP v3 = (let x = (\f x -> if x == 0 then x else f (pred x)) x in x) 2 -- S_APP; S_LETREC v4 = (let x = (\f x -> if x == 0 then x else f (pred x)) x in (\f x -> if x == 0 then x else f (pred x)) x) 2 -- S_APP v5 = (let x = (\f x -> if x == 0 then x else f (pred x)) x in (\x1 -> if x1 == 0 then x1 else x (pred x1))) 2 }}} at this point `x` is not a free variable so `S_LETRECRETURN` cannot be applied. Did I make it wrong or some rules are missing for the operational semantics? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10121> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Symptoms are 'pandoc --version' hangs and consumes memory until the process eventually dies with an OOM error.
