#12776: Panic Simplifier ticks exhausted since ghc 8 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sjcjoosten | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I'm getting a panic! in GHC 8.0.1 and in 8.1.20161028 {{{ sjoosten:ghcCompileBug sjc$ ghc-8.1.20161028 --make Main.hs -O2 [1 of 2] Compiling Factorize ( Factorize.hs, Factorize.o ) ghc: panic!

The panic! only occurs with -O2 (I need the -O2 switch to optimise the automatically generated Haskell code). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12776 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
