#12900: Common up identical info tables -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dobenour | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Runtime | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dobenour): simonpj: I remember reading that one of the reasons GHC-compiled binaries tend to be large is that each data type has its own info table and entry code. I suspect that most data types have one of a few common forms. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12900#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
