#9832: Get rid of PERL dependency of `ghc-split` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: rwbarton Type: task | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Driver | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: perl Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: | Difficulty: Difficult (2-5 None/Unknown | days) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ezyang): By the way, if you do (2), be *very* careful about memory usage. GHC outputs C-- in a streaming fashion, so if you accidentally accumulate everything in memory as you are splitting objects you will spike memory usage. In principle it should be possible to make sure it streams properly, but putting the splitter in a separate process certainly makes this job easier. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9832#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
