#10962: Improved arithmetic primops -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nkaretnikov | Owner: nkaretnikov Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | wiki:ImprovedArithmeticPrimops | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by nkaretnikov: Old description:
See the todo list on the wiki page.
New description: There are a few primops that report arithmetic overflow, which work on `Int`s and a couple or so for `Word`s. But that's not enough! Let's add more and clean up the existing code (e.g., make overflow-reporting helpers proper primops) on the go. See the wiki page for the proposal. -- -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10962#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
