RE: Increased memory usage with GHC 7.10.1

Can you open a ticket, please? And put as much data as you can. Using `-dshow-passes` (both for 7.10 and prior versions) and showing the output would be helpful. Simon From: Glasgow-haskell-users [mailto:glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Paolino Sent: 01 May 2015 09:42 To: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org Subject: Re: Increased memory usage with GHC 7.10.1 Hello, I'm using ghc 7.10.1 to compile OpenGLRaw which is now impossible with -O1 and -O2 due to "ghc : out of memory error" on a 4GB linux host. The file making memory explode is Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL.Raw.Functionshttps://hackage.haskell.org/package/OpenGLRaw-2.4.1.0/docs/src/Graphics-Rend.... With -O0 it uses 600 MB. The file is really huge, but I could compile it with prior versions of ghc. Regards paolino 2015-04-17 1:33 GMT+02:00 David Laing mailto:dave.laing.80@gmail.com>: Hi all, I've been playing around with profiling GHC recently, so I thought I'd chime in with a pointer that might save people searching for the right docs - you could configure a cabal sandbox to work with multiple version of ghc, which I've found useful: https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/installing-packages.html#sandboxes...

What I did was: build GHC HEAD/7.8.4 with build flavor 'prof' then get the haskell-src-exts sources, install the dependencies and finally add +RTS -p -RTS to the cabal file and compile it, the resulting ghc.prof contains the profiling information. For anyone interested about CallArity slowness, the problem is tracked in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10293 Cheers, Michal On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 1:40 AM Richard Eisenberg mailto:eir@cis.upenn.edu> wrote: I've pasted Michal's numbers in #9630, which seems like a good place to track this. Michal, would you mind fleshing out a bit precisely what you did to get those numbers? That would be helpful (though you've already been very helpful indeed in getting the data together)!

Actually, I meant only with -fno-specialise.

Done. Helps quite a bit but CallArity is still a pretty expensive.

I’m on that, and I think I have a quite neat fix for it. I’ll report on that in the trac ticket: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10293#comment:4
