#7702: Memory Leak in CoreM (CoreWriter) -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: afarmer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Compile-time performance bug | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by afarmer): * status: closed => new * resolution: fixed => Comment: Turns out that the thunk leak in after.pdf (and before-second-patch.pdf) was also due to CoreM. Attached is another patch to fix this. Running the same test as before, you can see that the thunk leak disappears in after- second-patch.pdf. I also tested with _only_ the second patch, and the leak is still present, so both are necessary. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7702#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
