#7428: GHC compile times are seriously non-linear in program size -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nudded | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): See [http://research.microsoft.com/en- us/um/people/simonpj/papers/variant-f/index.htm Scrap your type applications] Section 2.3, for why types can (legitimately I fear) blow up. I'm not say that is what is happening here, but it might be similar.
