#9583: Simplifier ticks exhausted while compiling Cabal HEAD -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Compile- | Blocked By: time crash | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Well this ticket was about a bug in GHC that meant it really didn't compile *at all*. Now, from what you say, it does. But there may still be a problem with the amount of code that `deriving Binary` generates (hence copying Pedro), perhaps due to nested tuples (which might be helped by the new SOP approach) or perhaps due to over-enthusiastic INLINE pragmas. In any case, I don't think there's a bug in GHC any more. But I'll leave this ticket open in the hope that we may make progress on the `deriving Binary` question.
