#14103: Retypechecking the loop in --make mode is super-linear when there are many .hs-boot modules -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: duog | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: hs-boot Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ezyang): I would say, go for it. I suspect the weird behavior niteria describes was unintentional (or intentional, but only in the sense that it is easier to implement) and you can probably simplify it a lot. But do note that if the set of modules that gets retypechecked *changes*, that could introduce a bug. But there is some code in between getModLoop and the actual retypechecking... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14103#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
