I don't know whether it matters. Maybe it's just the moment that GC strikes. But it's uncomfortable to have such an erratic test failure. > > Simon > > simonpj at cam-05-unx:~/5builds/HEAD-1/testsuite/tests/perf/compiler$ make TEST=T3294 > ,("max_bytes_used", "36726792") > > simonpj at cam-05-unx:~/5builds/HEAD-1/testsuite/tests/perf/compiler$ make TEST=T3294 BINDIST=YES > ,("max_bytes_used", "43818472") Hmm, my first (inplace) run was 41241960, but since then I'm reliably getting 38586080 for inplace, and 38904040 for BINDIST=YES. I'm not sure why they are different at all; perhaps it's just due to the size of the package.conf or something. -- Ian Lynagh, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/
