Great. So I think we now agree that the IND_STATIC patch is about (a) code size and (b) performance; and that both are very small (albeit worthwhile) improvements. ''It is not about correctness''. OK so far?
Agree, we may have different definitions of "correct". No crashes. Yep.
When you say "your patch", what do you mean?
This one: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/14677/lf-imported-patch Applying this causes crashes. #15155 helps with that. #16039 helps more. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14677#comment:31 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
