#9572: nofib target for just building should be part of validate -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: NoFib benchmark | Version: 7.8.2 suite | Operating System: Keywords: | Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Difficulty: Unknown | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- nofib is never run during validates, which makes it easy to bitrot (c.f. AMP changes). It would be better if: 1. We had a build target for just building nofib tests, not running them, (maybe optionally with optimizations turned off, or just `-fno-code`) and 2. This build target was executed during validates This should strike a balance between wanting to avoid having to spend a lot of time running the benchmarks on validate, while still exercising the nofib tests to some degree. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9572 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
