#15372: GHCi leaks in DEBUG mode -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The solution to ticket #15111 fixes some space leaks in GHCi. That ticket also installs `-fghci-leak-check` to the testsuite, so that we'll know when these leaks return. This is all good. However, the `DEBUG` compile still leaks in GHCi. This means that many ghci tests fail in the testsuite when using a `DEBUG` compiler. I thus have two requests: 1. (hopefully quick) Teach the testsuite not to use `-fghci-leak-check` on a `DEBUG` compiler. I tried to do this myself but got lost, never having worked on the testsuite harness. 2. Fix the leaks. If someone could post the fix to (1) in the short term (even if you don't commit it), I'd be grateful. This is holding me up. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15372 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
