#13586: ghc --make seems to leak memory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: MikolajKonarski | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Compile-time | (amd64) performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #13379 #13564 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by MikolajKonarski): Nope, and reducing the example reduces the problem, because it needs lots of specializations, so lots of code, to trigger. However, I guess one could construct a cheaper, artificial example with n simple functions specialized to m types and thus get n*m specializations (I only have 1--2 types for each functions in my example, so I need lots of code). I wonder if we already have such example in GHC test suite. If so, we'd only need a variant where specializations is split between 2 modules and compare the time/heap as n and m grow. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13586#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
