#14988: Memory strain while compiling HLint -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mcandre | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: FreeBSD | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Compile-time | (amd64) performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mcandre): Update: The specific error I'm getting is {{{ $ cabal install HLint ... ghc: mmap 131072 bytes at 0x0: Operation not permitted }}} This happens in HardenedBSD, does not happen in FreeBSD. This happens when ghc tries to build HLint's haskell-src-exts, uniplate, and/or aeson dependency libraries. This does not happen in HardenedBSD for smaller package trees like shake or QuickCheck. I tried adding swap space to provide a larger memory pool, but top showed cabal/ghc never dipping into swap space, so I suppose this mmap error means something else besides out-of-memory. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14988#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
