#13586: ghc --make seems to leak memory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: MikolajKonarski | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Compile-time | (amd64) performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #13379 #13564 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Would it be reasonable? Perhaps. Would it be easy to implement? I don't believe so. You would need to somehow walk the heap looking for references to freed interfaces so that they can be GC'd (or make any reference that might refer to something in another module weak, which would come at quite some cost). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13586#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
