#14336: ghci leaks memory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: NeilMitchell | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Runtime | (amd64) performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by NeilMitchell): The end thing that matters is process memory usage, and given enough time (half an hour or so) that clearly increases, but not linearly (thanks to effects like GC). The use of the RTS columns just gives you an easy way to spot it faster. The columns for the RTS stats are: {{{ Alloc Copied Live GC GC TOT TOT Page Flts bytes bytes bytes user elap user elap }}} Of those, {{{Live bytes}}} is the one I was watching (3rd one along) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14336#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
