#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 mpickering): Doing 1000 iterations with a very big string (approx 20000 chars) results in 47mb max residency with `no_it`. Doing 1000 iterations with a vanilla compiler causes my computer to oom, 100 iterations requires 488mb * 100 - `no_it` 42mb * 100 - vanilla 488mb * 1000 - `no_it` 47mb * 1000 - vanilla oom -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14336#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
