#8174: GHC should not load packages for TH if they are not used -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time performance bug | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Blocking: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by nh2): Replying to [comment:3 ezyang]:
In some sense, GHCi is already loading the packages semi-lazily; GHC won't resolve any objects until you actually attempt to use an object.
What does "resolving objects" mean? Could you elaborate a bit? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8174#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
