See the comment with -- GHC.ST.runST. Essentially the issue is that the IO computation -- inside unsafePerformIO must be atomic: it must either all run, or -- not at all. If we let the compiler see the application of the IO -- to realWorld#, it might float out part of the IO. }}} However, `unsafeDupablePerformIO` does not actually have a `NOINLINE` pragma. So either the note is out of date and should be removed/modified, or someone messed up the code. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13174> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#11076: Demand information of foreign calls is wrong -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: luite | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Foreign calls of all types (including prim calls) use `mkFCallId` to create a fresh `Id` for each one. This Id claims to be strict in all arguments, which is not correct for foreign calls that allow lifted types to be passed. This also causes some trouble for GHCJS. I hope to get a fix in 7.10.3. Can we leave the strictness sig out entirely perhaps? Most arguments would be trivially strict since they're unboxed. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11076> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

With GHC 7.10.2 I get: {{{ $ ghc --make Test.hs -O2 -rtsopts [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Test.hs, Test.o ) Linking Test.exe ... $ Test +RTS -K100K Stack space overflow: current size 33680 bytes.

My guess is that in older versions of GHC the strictness analysis managed to kick in and optimise things.
