#12357: Increasing maximum constraint tuple size significantly blows up compiler allocations -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Compile-time Unknown/Multiple | performance bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In July 2015 (dd3080fe0263082f65bf2570f49189c277b12e28) the maximum constraint tuple size was raised from 16 to 62 to address #10451. It turns out that this change is apparently one of the larger compile-time regressions in recent GHC history. For instance, the nofib `real/fulsom/Shapes.hs` module regresses by 16% in both compiler allocations and compile time. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12357 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
