#8980: ghc-7.8.1 -O2 eats excessive amounts of RAM, highlighting-kate and pandoc- citeproc -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: slyfox | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by slyfox): * status: infoneeded => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Now all builds fine and does not crash ghc! Thanks! Some stats (both runs are '''-O2 -j4 --make'''): highlighting-kate alone now takes about ~3.7GBs RAM 'selfcontained-eater-ghc-7.8-rc2.tar.gz' now takes ~7.1GBs RAM and contains 452 modules Which is very sane for amd64. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8980#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
