#8457: -ffull-laziness does more harm than good -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: errge | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by errge): * priority: high => normal * milestone: 7.8.1 => 7.10.1 Comment: Also, I've changed the milestone now to 7.10.1 and changed the priority to normal. I don't want to rush anyone into a decision that is clearly not super important. Everything is like as it is for years, and users can easily say -fno-full-laziness themselves. Since this is only a simple flag switch, if we decide that we should do the switch, we can easily do it for 7.8.2 or later 7.8 releases, no rush. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8457#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
