Unfortunately I can't reproduce the bug, so this one's gonna be lots of information that probably will help very little.

Please contact the application's support team for more information. }}} This one was the error I was working on, i.e. the (legit) error in the previous call: (Including this because it gives you a clue what I was working on, I was mostly fiddling around with parens in placeAgents' gnd function) {{{ *CommonStatistics Data.List> :l SimpleCellularALife [1 of 2] Compiling CommonStatistics ( CommonStatistics.hs, interpreted ) [2 of 2] Compiling SimpleCellularALife ( SimpleCellularALife.hs, interpreted ) SimpleCellularALife.hs:70:28: Couldn't match expected type `Array i0 e0' with actual type `Ground' In the return type of a call of `ground' In the first argument of `(!)', namely `ground (tiles w)' In the expression: (ground (tiles w) !

I am as of writing this at 66% out of 4GB used. The GHCI instance was opened for an extended period of time, so it might have racked up quite a bit of RAM usage. I can say though that considering the file sizes, 1.3GB of RAM usage seems unreasonable. And because I haven't yet written enough, here are all the variations of the line I was working on that could've caused it. Pulled them out of my text editor's buffer. {{{ gnd grp = (ground (tiles w) ! fst $ head grp) gnd grp = (ground (tiles w) ! (fst $ head grp) gnd grp = (ground (tiles w) !

[GHC] #10319: Eta expand PAPs

#10319: Eta expand PAPs -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- SPJ writes in ticket:10260#comment:11: But see this note in SimplUtils: {{{ Note [Do not eta-expand PAPs] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We used to have old_arity = manifestArity rhs, which meant that we would eta-expand even PAPs. But this gives no particular advantage, and can lead to a massive blow-up in code size, exhibited by Trac #9020. Suppose we have a PAP foo :: IO () foo = returnIO () Then we can eta-expand do foo = (\eta. (returnIO () |> sym g) eta) |> g where g :: IO () ~ State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #) But there is really no point in doing this, and it generates masses of coercions and whatnot that eventually disappear again. For T9020, GHC allocated 6.6G beore, and 0.8G afterwards; and residency dropped from 1.8G to 45M. But note that this won't eta-expand, say f = \g -> map g Does it matter not eta-expanding such functions? I'm not sure. Perhaps strictness analysis will have less to bite on? }}} The worse code for the un-eta-expanded code for last is perhaps an example of the last paragraph! And yet the comment is reasonably convincing. I'm not sure what to do here. One thing that might be worth trying is to eta-expand as far as poss without bumping into a coercion. That would expand last but not foo. Want to try that? We may fix last but there are sure to be other cases, and the more robust the optimisations the better. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10319> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #10457: Revise/remove custom mapM implementation for lists

#10457: Revise/remove custom mapM implementation for lists -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dolio | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.2 Component: | Version: 7.10.1 libraries/base | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Recently, Simon Marlow asked why the list instance for Traversable had a custom mapM implementation that used the Monad operations. Having looked a bit, I don't think there's any good reason. The only fusion that the custom mapM can participate in is due to it being written as foldr, but traverse is, as well. So as long as 'mapM = traverse' is able to inline appropriately, there should be no difference. Further, this can be changed, in principle, for 7.10.2. It doesn't change any types, only the implementation. mapM = traverse is the class default definition, so this could possibly be completed by just removing the custom definition.

I suspect that this is a regression in the event manager. When there is an event, `GHC.Event.Manager.onFdEvent` seems to remove all callbacks associated to the `fd`, whether or not they match the current event. In the program above, the callback for `recv` may be removed permanently when the socket becomes ready for `send`ing, causing the "receiver" thread to deadlock. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10380> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
