#5188: Runtime error when allocating lots of memory ---------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: knyblad | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: GHCi | Version: 6.12.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ---------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by thoughtpolice): I reverted 48865521 (and its kin) because unfortunately it causes a validate failure on amd64/Linux, where the conditional in patch #2 is always false, meaning we will always calculate `size = n * MBLOCK_SIZE`. I'll look into this shortly. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5188#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
