#7521: Simplifier ticks exhausted when compiling Accelerate example. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: eamsden | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Compile- | Blocked By: time crash | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * os: Linux => Unknown/Multiple Comment: The file `accelerate-examples.cabal` in the latest version of that package (0.15.0.0) contains: {{{ if impl(ghc >= 7.6) ghc-options: -fsimpl-tick-factor=130 }}} When I remove those lines, trying to build the package with ghc-7.8.3 still results in a `Simplifier ticks exhausted` panic. Steps to reproduce: {{{ $ sudo apt-get install c2hs freeglut3-dev $ cabal get accelerate-examples==0.15.0.0 $ cd accelerate-examples $ cabal install --dependencies-only # `accelerate-cuda` might fail to install, just ignore that # edit `accelerate-examples.cabal` $ cabal build }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7521#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
