Hi,<br><br>I get this error message when testing a function<br>in ghci:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;*** Exception: stack overflow<br><br>I admit I didn&#39;t care about efficiency when I<br>wrote that function, but I&#39;m almost sure it is not
<br>supposed to eat all my memory. Do I need to say<br>something to ghci if I want it to use all<br>available memory?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Maurício</blockquote><div><br>This can also be caused by some code which is more lazy than necessary, if a huge thunk (= unevaluated expression) is generated which blows the stack when it is evaluated.&nbsp; You may want to read this page:
