#12758: Bring sanity to our performance testsuite -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I'm all for eliminating busy-work, but my experience is that we have too few, not too many, performance tests. Mostly, when a perf-test fails, there really is something to investigate, annoying though I often find it. The exception is `max_bytes_used` which wobbles around unpredicatably. I'm not sure how your new approach would make things better. Would you like to elaborate? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12758#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
