#14988: Memory strain while compiling HLint -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mcandre | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I want to setup a build bot for generating Haskell binaries in an automated fashion, however even with 4 GB of RAM, cabal is unable to build HLint in HardenedBSD. Specifically, GHC is choking on mmap errors while compiling HLint's huge dependency tree. Can we somehow shrink the massive memory usage of GHC, so that common packages HLint can be built on medium-low build bots? Imagine GHC running on a RaspberryPi: You're gonna have a bad time. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14988 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
