#14336: ghci leaks memory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: NeilMitchell | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Runtime | (amd64) performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by NeilMitchell): Anything that wraps {{{ghci}}} into a program that users are still expected to interact with is going to start having weird special cases to undo these changes. For my specific case of {{{ghcid}}} I can remove the {{{()}}} when {{{ghcid}}} itself sends a command in (no real problem), but I also allow the user to interact with the underlying {{{ghci}}} (via the {{{--test}}} flag), and there the surprising change in behaviour is going to be unpleasant and hard to avoid without just filtering out {{{()}}} lines, some of which might be deliberate. Any chance of getting the behaviour to omit {{{()}}} added back? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14336#comment:23 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
