#7830: Error: operand out of range -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: powerpc Type of failure: Installing GHC | Test Case: failed | Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by trommler): Replying to [comment:26 trommler]:

This looks like code spilling registers onto the stack. But why are the offsets so large? Could you attach the entire assembler file?

This looks suspicious: {{{ .Lc138b: addi 1, 1, -28336 }}} I wonder why GHC allocates ~3500 spill slots (of size 8 bytes each) on top of the roughly 2000 that are allocated in the RTS before we enter Haskell land in `StgCRun`.

I tried to reproduce on powerpc64 HEAD but compile failed to typecheck

in package uualib. I'll try to reproduce with the commit you mentioned in comment:24. I cannot reproduce the issue on powerpc64 even though it has the same 16-bit displacement restriction. I did a `perf` build, perhaps that makes a difference?! Did you use a `build.mk` file? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7830#comment:33 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
