#14492: Tiered memory allocation restricts available memory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: unode | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: memory ulimit Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Poor/confusing | (amd64) error message | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari):
PS: Is there any way to make the "out of memory" error a little bit more informative? Something that informs the user of how much memory was already being used and how much more was going to be reserved when the failure was seen?
Probably; unfortunately there are a number of places where this error is thrown scattered about the runtime. This should also be fixed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14492#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
