1. it says
The following options are all described in Section 4.15.3, “RTS options to control the garbage collector”. * The flag +RTS -N now automatically determines how many threads to use, based on the number of CPUs in your machine.
actually -N is decribed in "4.13.2. RTS options for SMP parallelism" also, i propose to enable +RTS -N by default. Haskell is very popular as multithreaded language, don't fool novices!
"The -gn RTS option has been removed, except that -g1 is still accepted for backwards compatibility. "
why not ignore whole option for a 6.12.*? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
