Dear GHC developers, I wonder whether ghc-6.8.3 is better than 6.8.2. Because 6.8.2 makes DoCon-2.11 under -M400m. And 6.8.3 does not suffice -M500m. It breaks with the heap exhaustion at the module RsePol_. -------------------------------------------------- Moreover, repeated make docon again breaks with the heap exhaustion for -M500m. So this memory is spent to compile a single current module. -------------------------------------------------- The last (difficult) module is RsePol_. And `make' is slower than in 6.8.2, at least at this module. I do not believe that a reasonable compiler may need more than 500 Mb for compiling this poor RsePol_. Second, for the candidate version I reported to the e-mail lists the two problems. The second one was about this memory and time strangeness in compiling RsePol_. Now, you issue an official release, without even considering the second problem. I do not know, maybe this RsePol_ is somehow too irregular (with overlapping instance, etc.), maybe, DoCon is guilty. But as ghc-6.8.2 handles DoCon all right, why do not you investigate this difference in 6.8.3 ? Actually, ghc-6.8.3 does not support DoCon. I wonder what to do.
