Cheng Shao pushed to branch wip/faster-linkBCO at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 18513365 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-03-21T04:43:26-04:00 Add support for custom external interpreter commands It can be useful for GHC API clients to implement their own external interpreter commands. For example, the debugger may want an efficient way to inspect the stacks of the running threads in the external interpreter. - - - - - 4636d906 by mangoiv at 2026-03-21T04:44:10-04:00 ci: remove obsolete fallback for old debian and ubuntu versions - - - - - 2e3a2805 by mangoiv at 2026-03-21T04:44:10-04:00 ci: drop ubuntu 18 and 20 Ubuntu 18 EOL: May 2023 Ubuntu 20 EOL: May 2025 We should probably not make another major release supporting these platforms. Also updates the generator script.

Previously we reuse the `Binary` (from `binary`) instance, and this change allows us to avoid double-copying via an intermediate `ByteString` when using `put`/`get` in `binnary`. Also see added comment for explanation. - - - - - 954819d7 by Cheng Shao at 2026-03-23T13:49:27+00:00 ghci: use SmallArray directly in ResolvedBCO This patch makes ghci use `SmallArray` directly in `ResolvedBCO` when applicable, making the memory representation more compact and reducing marshaling overhead.
