Memory leak under GHC 8.8.x
## Summary The following program that uses Streamly, leaks memory under GHC 8.8.x. It doesn't leak memory under 8.6 and 8.10 alpha2. ```haskell import Data.Function ((&)) import Streamly import qualified Streamly.Memory.Array as A import qualified Streamly.Prelude as S import qualified Streamly.Internal.Network.Socket as SK import qualified Streamly.Internal.Network.Inet.TCP as TCP main = S.unfold TCP.acceptOnPort 8090 -- SerialT IO Socket & S.concatMapWith async frames -- SerialT IO (Array Word8) & S.drain where frames sk = S.unfold SK.read sk & S.chunksOf 1 (A.writeN 1) ``` - With GHC 8.8.x the program keeps on consuming memory until it crashes. - With GHC 8.6.x the program runs under constant memory. - With GHC 8.10 alpha2 it doesn't looks like the program is leaking memory (at least not as fast as 8.8.x) ## Steps to reproduce Clone the repo from from github https://github.com/composewell/streamly, Checkout the `crasher` branch and run the `Crasher.hs` program in the examples directory ``` git clone https://github.com/composewell/streamly cd streamly git checkout crasher $ cd examples/ $ ghc -O2 Crasher.hs -threaded $ ./Crasher +RTS -N -s -RTS ``` The program should start listening on port 8090, send input to the program ``` $ cat /dev/zero | nc 127.0.0.1 8090 ``` Repeat with different GHC version and monitor the memory usage. ## Expected behavior Memory usage should be constant under GHC 8.8.x as well ## Environment * GHC version used: 8.6.3, 8.8.1, 8.10 alpha2 Optional: * Operating System: MacOS 10.15 We need to figure whether it's a bug in the Streamly code or it's a GHC issue.
