#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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by JulianLeviston): * owner: (none) => JulianLeviston Comment:
The discussion may be confusing but the proposed change is actually quite simple. Just refactor one type and follow the type errors.
Thanks for the direction. I can happily do that, but a) it wasn't clear to me that there *was* a proposed solution. It seemed like there was still quite a bit of a discussion going on. b) It'd be good to also know what on earth I'm doing when I do it, and it seemed to be getting deep into some really complicated territory that I felt was utterly beyond my interest or understanding. However, I'll add myself back as owner and when it's at a point where it seems there's consensus on a proposed solution, try to work out what that exactly means and continue the process of implementing a patch (it seems like it's got to consensus now). Thanks for your collective patience :) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15646#comment:22 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
