#10228: Increased memory usage with GHC 7.10.1 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): The type of behavior you describe is not totally unexpected since when GHC compiles multiple modules in a single run, it retains the information read from all the interface files it has encountered in case it needs that information later. So it's a time/space trade-off, not really a memory leak. Of course, it's possible that that interface file information is consuming much more space than it needs to. (Or the cause could be something else entirely.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10228#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
