#11380: `cabal repl` exhausts memory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: kennethb | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Compile-time (amd64) | crash Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I have a project that depends on happy/alex to generate parsers. (https://github.com/TOSPIO/pyn) Running `cabal repl` on my laptop (Gentoo Linux amd64) with 16GiB memory ended up eating up all memory and eventually resulted in kernel panic. `cabal build` works fine. Problem arises when compiling the giant happy- generated dist/build/Language/Python/Parser/Parse.hs file also `cabal repl --ghc-options=-fobject-code` works fine. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11380 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
