#13535: vector test suite uses excessive memory on GHC 8.2 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: bgamari Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10800 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by George): Given the difficulty of fixing compiler bugs of excessive memory use, does it make sense to introduce a test to prevent future regressions: bash -c 'ulimit -v <appropriate limti for current HEAD.; cabal test' We could then change the limit as bugs get fixed or improvements as made. This assumes that this test would catch a lot of such errors. If people think this isn't the case then maybe such a test would not be worthwhile. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13535#comment:37> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
