#15646: ghci takes super long time to find the type of large fractional number -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Johannkokos | Owner: | JulianLeviston Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 8.4.3 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by osa1): That sounds good to me. Just to make sure, the proposed solution will still blow up when desugaring, so currently we aim to fix the type checking, right? Or am I missing something about the proposed solution? One problem with removing `fl_value` may be that any users of this type (maybe source plugins?) will have to provide a string instead of an actual float (we currently allow users to only give a value and omit `fl_text` by passing a `NoSourceText`). I don't know if there are any users (can it be used by source plugins?) of this type but maybe it's worth checking. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15646#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
