#16233: HIE file generation is inefficient -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: harpocrates | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #15320 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by harpocrates): Since 5ed48d25decc9dec29659482644b136cff91606e, we avoid most of the expensive calls to `deSugarExpr`. For a handful of expressions (ex: `HsLam`), the type already exists in the extensions field, so we use that. For some other expressions that are prone to the quartic desugaring performance (eg. `HsApp`), we've just disabled getting their type information completely for now. The rest (ex. `HsVar`), we still perform the desugaring. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16233#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
