Re: [web-devel] problem with yesod, persist and enumerations

16 Apr 2011


      I worry about the future of haskell (ghc). I know at least three problems

- not memory releasing
- optimization issues
- multi-core execution issue  (works bad with more than 4 core)

sadly ... (

Are you compiling with the development server or doing a cabal build/
I'm doing a cabal build.  To reproduce this, I run (cabal configure &&
cabal build) from the command line in the project directory.
I can confirm that this happens. However, it *only* happens when building
with cabal. When building with "ghc --make", using runghc or
wai-handler-devel, everything works fine. So I tried compiling with "ghc
--make -O", and sure enough the same bug appeared.
I don't think there's anything we can do in the libraries to avoid this, it
looks like a bug in GHC. You can modify your ghc-options line in the cabal
file to pass in "-O0" to disable optimizations, though this is obviously not
optimal (bad pun intended). I think we need to report this to the GHC team.
I know virtually nothing about GHC internals, but in case this means
something to someone else, here's some of the output from "ghc --make -O -v
test.hs":
