Is there a way to limit the memory, ghci can have?

Question

I\'m used to debug my code using ghci. Often, something like this happens (not so obvious, of course):

ghci> let f@(_:x) = 0:1:zipWith(+)f x
ghci> leng         


        

Answer 1

Running it under a shell with ulimit -m set is a fairly easy way. If you want to run with some limit on a regular basis, you can create a wrapper script that does ulimit before running ghci.
