#10247: 5x increase in total memory allocation for `prof-doc-fib` test since 2011 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: thomie | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Profiling | 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Commit c81e07063dd4f792d65f5933cfb906620d120b24 (#8811) makes a small change to the formatting of the profiling output. When updating the prof.sample files in the `testsuite/tests/profiling/should_run` directory, we noticed that memory allocation numbers for several tests have increased substantially since 2011. {{{ -total alloc = 107,829,264 bytes (excludes profiling overheads) +total alloc = 538,951,032 bytes (excludes profiling overheads) }}} The following tests need investigation: * T680.prof.sample (2x total alloc) * prof-doc-fib.prof.sample (5x) * prof-doc-last.prof.sample (3x) * scc003.prof.sample (2x) Maybe it's nothing serious, but I'm setting priority to high since it seems like a regression. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10247 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
