#14741: High-memory usage during compilation using Template Haskell -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: donatello | Owner: sighingnow Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D4384 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): All the existing machinery for literals is oriented for relatively short, human-readable literal strings. It's unsurprising that it chokes on 100Mb. But it seems like an absolutely legitimate request to me. Happy needs this too, in the form of its parsing tables; albeit they aren't so big. There's even a wiki page about it: [wiki:StaticData] spun out of #5218. This must be do-able, but it would need someone to lead on it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14741#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
