Hey folks,
Have you ever wanted to implement this function in Haskell?
-- | Forks a thread, but kills it if it has more than 'limit'
-- bytes resident on the heap.
forkIOWithSpaceLimit :: IO () -> {- limit -} Int -> IO ThreadId
Well, now you can! I have a proposal and set of patches here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/ResourceLimits
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7763
There is a lot of subtlety in this space, largely derived from the
complexity of interpreting GHC's current profiling information. Your
questions, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Edward
