I believe that we can improve things by reducing the size of the generated code.

Just do a normal compile and corrpupt the stage2 compiler in the folder `inplace` that gets created. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4806#comment:17> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #12571: GHC panic

(the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.10.3 for x86_64-unknown-linux): Simplifier ticks exhausted When trying UnfoldingDone $fStorableWord21 To increase the limit, use -fsimpl-tick-factor=N (default 100) If you need to do this, let GHC HQ know, and what factor you needed To see detailed counts use -ddump-simpl-stats Total ticks: 8040 Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug }}} When I followed the suggestion of adding `-fsimpl-tick-factor=200` the compiler proceeds normally (finding a syntax error in a file). Removing this option, strangely, also causes the compiler to proceed normally. I can no longer reproduce this bug, although several compilations in a row (before adding the option) reproduced the bug. Although I cannot reproduce this bug, the syntax error that is present came from an error of the form: {{{#!hs f :: A -> M B f a = do x <- g a let c = h a in do ... }}} The actual file is attached. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12571> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Perhaps I am missing something, but I can't see why this needs to be retained. I would expect the two heap profiles to look the same. Sources and heap profiles (using GHC 8.0.1) attached.
