#12617: Make the interface of traceTc and traceRn the same -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mpickering): Modifying the `traceRn` interface to the `traceTc` interface causes 3 of the performance tests to fail due to the strings being floated to the top level (by `-ffull-laziness`) and hence allocated. Previously these strings were not allocated as there is a rule which optimises `text "abc"` to `ptext (Ptr p)`. Here is the diff where I tried various things to fix this: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D2586 -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12617#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
