Hello Simon, Thursday, December 14, 2006, 2:35:12 PM, you wrote: > * Rework the block allocator Simon, one more feature that i really missing in GHC now is ability to *decrease* amount of memory allocated from OS. now, if at some point program required 100 megs, it will hold all these 100 megs allocated until program finishes and when mmeory goes low, this (unused!) memory will be swapped to disk. can this be changed so that after GC memory returned back to OS? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[email protected]
