#15038: Memory Corruption (strange closure type) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andrewthad | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: merge Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.4.3 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9718 | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D4680 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Also to note: Omer tried the approach in comment:33, but we found that binary sizes went up by 1%. Comment:33 means that we'd link the code for all error-ids into every binary even if they are not actually used; but it seems hard to believe that would increase code size by 1%. Rather than pursue this mystery, we backed off and did the ad-hoc special case implemented in comment:36. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15038#comment:39 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
