Due to a large amount of spam we do not allow new users to create repositories, they are "external" users. If you are a new user and want to create a repository, for example for forking GHC, open a new issue on ghc/ghc using the "get-verified" issue template

DWARF DIEs are extremely verbose
The DIEs produced by GHC are much larger than necessary. ``` .L$wadvance_r4Sp_info_die: .byte 2 .asciz "advance" .asciz "r4Sp_info" .byte 0 .quad $wadvance_r4Sp_info .quad .L$wadvance_r4Sp_info_end .byte 1 .byte 156 .Lc55F_die: .byte 5 .asciz "_c55F" .quad _c55F .quad .Lc55F_end .byte 6 .asciz "nofib/shootout/n-body/Main.hs" .long 64 .short 1 .long 88 .short 19 .byte 6 .asciz "nofib/shootout/n-body/Main.hs" .long 88 .short 12 .long 88 .short 19 .byte 6 .asciz "nofib/shootout/n-body/Main.hs" .long 136 .short 1 .long 136 .short 17 .byte 6 .asciz "nofib/shootout/n-body/Main.hs" .long 142 .short 1 .long 142 .short 32 .byte 6 ``` Specifically, the source filename string is repeated for every DIE. I'm pretty sure there is a way to encode this rather into the debug strings section.
