  • simplifier madness

…and the associated !10987: Make pseq robust by using seq# · Merge requests · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab ? It’s a “recurring theme” :

• #24124: The laziness of `seq#` can create silly thunks · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab

• #22935: Clarify semantics of evaluate/seq# · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab

• #18957: Demand analysis: `seq`'s strictness signature says its first argument is not head-used · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab

• #17440: Reduce seqId magic · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab

• #15226: GHC doesn't know that seq# produces something in WHNF · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab

• #5915: Code using seq has wrong strictness when unoptimised (too strict) · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab

• #2273: inlining defeats seq · Issues · Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC · GitLab

In addition:

• seq magic smoke and mirrors

• Parallelism in 6.6 and seq vs. pseq [glasgow-haskell-users]
