Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: space leak with 'concat' ?

Yes, I was really surprised that this was the case. I while ago I did a little FRP experiment. I made a top level binding to a list of timer event occurrences. The list was generated on another thread. To my surprise, I did not have space leak, which is amazingly cool, but it felt odd :) Is it documented when GHC will garbage collect CAFs?

FUD! CAFs are definitely garbage collected, in fact we have a big lump of code generator and runtime complexity (Static Reference Tables, SRTs) to ensure that they do.

However, GHCi doesn't always GC CAFs, perhaps that's what you meant.

Cheers, Simon
