#11263: "Simplifier ticks exhausted" that resolves with fsimpl-tick-factor=200 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jberryman | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10527 #5539 | Differential Rev(s): #8319 | Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): It's not a bug in your code. It just indicates that GHC is doing an unusual amount of work per line of (your original) code. That's interesting but probably not your fault. It ''can'' indicate that you (or a library you are using) are inlining too much code, perhaps (but not necessarily) unproductively so. Occasionally it can be an indication that you've tripped over a well-known bug in GHC that makes things inline forever (#11240, #8833, #3872, #5400, #5448, #5722, #7057, #7369, #9235). Reporting it is good, especially if we can reproduce it; it ''can'' also mean that GHC is working harder than it should. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11263#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
