Mind you I'm just trying to come up with theories we can test, I'm not assigning blame. :) I'm not sure how to do the apples to apples comparison, but it sounds like some sleuthing Is In order. I dont have a 7.10 setup yet, but if someone can put a tarballed dist build folder for a 7.10 and the same for 7.8 for some lib that blows up,I'm happy to try to dig i n. Or I'll get things setup later this week to do the full comparison locally. On Apr 1, 2015 11:12 AM, "Edward Z. Yang" <ezyang@mit.edu> wrote:
Yes, this does seem like a potential culprit, although we did do some measurements and I didn't think it was too bad. Maybe we were wrong!

How much of this might be attributable to longer linker symbol names? Ghc 7.10 object code does have larger symbols! Is there a way to easily tabulate that?
That would explain why the hi files have also increased many-fold. Is there any way to avoid the larger symbols?
