#9266: getDirectoryContents blow its stack in a huge directory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: joeyhess | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.8.2 libraries/directory | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: Linux | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Type of failure: None/Unknown | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by joeyhess): While my patch avoids the stack overflow, getDirectoryContents still seems to be using more memory than I would expect if it's lazily generating the list of files. The test program uses around 600 mb. I think it also needs to use unsafeInterleaveIO, but have not been able to get that to work. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9266#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
