#4387: Huge executables with GHC 7 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: daniel.is.fischer | Owner: igloo Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.1 Keywords: executable size | Testcase: Blockedby: | Difficulty: Os: Linux | Blocking: Architecture: x86 | Failure: Other ----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Comment(by rl): I doubt it's the fusion framework (which does work, just not as well as it used to before the typechecker patch). If the ghc package is getting linked in then that is probably the reason for the binary size. The package is only used for one thing by vector: annotations to drive !SpecConstr. That is, I only use a single data type and no functions from package ghc. Why would GHC link in the entire package in that case? -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4387#comment:13> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
