Hi, I originally reported #8308 so I suppose I could help :-) But I need to find some time to take a look at your code - the ticket was reported over a year ago and I admit I don't remember much. I'll take a look at your patch soon (hopefully this week). Janek Dnia poniedziaĆek, 3 listopada 2014, Mateusz Lenik napisaĆ:
Hi *,
Recently I started working on resurrecting ticky code[1] and got to the point where I can compile and run bumpHistogram as well as accompanying code in RTS.
Work in progress version can be found at [2], but there are few things remaining to get it working:
* missing calls to tickyReturnNewCon, tickyUnboxedTupleReturn and tickyVectoredReturn need to be added. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the code enough to find the right place to insert them.
* magic eight needs to be replaced by a constant both Haskell and C files. Preprocessor macro seems to be the simplest choice here, however I don't find it the cleanest way to do it.
I would be very grateful if someone could take a look and point me into the right direction.
Best, Mateusz
