AW: Heap profiling in GHC broken?
I have no idea how to set up cvs under windows to get things from a non-local repository, but anyway, profiling worked on the macintosh. I spent the whole weekend plus monday to find the space leak, but eventually I did. Heap Profiling was very helpful there. Unfortunately, space leaks are barely mentioned in the Haskell books/tutorials, but they are a real burden if you want to run programs for larger problems. A tutorial on this by one of the experts would be very welcome. :-) Thanks, Markus

When I tried to profile my program in search for space leaks, it core dumped on me (actually on Win2000/Cygwin). I'm using ghc 6.0.1. Does anybody know what could be the problem?
(To be more precise: any +RTS -h_ options make problems, +RTS -p works fine. I get a message meaning the equivalent of "statement in '0x0058db43' points to memory in '0xfffffffc'. Could not read.")
I believe this bug is fixed in CVS, so you could get it there or wait for 6.2. (I didn't fix it, I just reported it.) -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org/darcs _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

The people at York University have written some great papers on this topic. I especially remember one presented at the Glasgow Functional Programming workshop by Colin Runciman about 8-10 years ago. In the draft proceedings or the presentation, the title was something to do with the tail and the leg of the dog but I don't recall the title of the final paper. -- Alastair Reid
