6.8.1-candidate tested

2007-10-18 Thread Serge D. Mechveliani
Dear GHC developers,

I have tested  ghc-6.8.0.20071015-src.tar.bz2  on DoCon and on 
Dumatel.  
It looks all right

(except the bug-candidate for -O which is common to all GHC versions
and which I recently reported
).

On DoCon,  ghc-6.8.0.20071015  
1) builds the project 2-3 times faster than  ghc-6.6.1,  
2) its produced  .a  code is  1.6  times larger,
3) the test runs  1.4  times faster,
4) the minimal space (2500 Kb) for the test running remains. 

This looks all right.

Regards,

-

I have noticed binary sizes increasing by around 20% on the nofib suite 
too.  We've discovered one issue with some dictionaries not being inlined 
when we would expect them to, but there may be others.  I'm investigating.


Cheers,
Simon
