#10735: Smooth out the differences between `compiler/utils/Pretty.hs` and `libraries/pretty` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: thomie | Owner: thomie Type: task | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #1062, #1176, | Differential Revisions: #7666, #8809 | Phab:D1130, Phab:D1132 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): There is 1 commit left for parity with pretty-1.1.2.0. I have not landed it yet, because I haven't been able to measure the supposed space/time improvement yet. The other 2 commits described below seem to suggest this commit doesn't actually work: "Pretty: improving the space/time performance of vcat, hsep, hcat" There are 2 commits left for parity with pretty-1.1.2.1. I have not landed them yet, because they seem to cause more allocation in the compiler (see discussion in https://github.com/haskell/pretty/pull/9): "Resolve foldr-strictness stack overflow bug" "Special-case reduce for horiz/vert" The commits are here: https://github.com/thomie/ghc/commits/pretty -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10735#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
