Re: Increased memory usage with GHC 7.10.1

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...

Hi Richard,

Thanks updating the ticket! 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

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)!

Thanks, Richard

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
