#9207: Detect obvious cases of infinite recursion. ------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: mrugiero | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: infinite recursion Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: None/Unknown | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | ------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment (by mrugiero): Can you put an example of use of that function? Because I don't really see right now (and as I said, I'm just learning the language) creating an infinite list is good or useful. It just sounds like a blown up stack to me, whenever the list actually gets created. I guess this moment will be, thankfully, whenever a tail recursion starts using the generated values, am I right? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9207#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
