#9315: Weird change in allocation numbers of T9203 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: simonmar Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime | Version: 7.9 System | Keywords: Resolution: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Differential Revisions: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Test Case: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): The perf tests don't guarantee to pass unless you use the validate settings, I think that's unavoidable. Maybe it's possible to just skip them unless the correct settings are being used. We don't use -O2 in validate because validate is supposed to be fast. But that doesn't render the perf tests useless, they're just testing -O and not -O2 (and individual tests can use -O2 if we want). Should we force -O2 for Data.Typeable.Internal? A tricky one. I generally don't like forcing optimisation settings for individual modules like this, because it prevents us from seeing the real effect of global optimisation settings. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9315#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
