#14882: memchr# -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andrewthad | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by hvr): Fwiw, I can see the appeal to abstract over the basic low-level ISO C99 memory primitives (`memcmp`, `memchr`, `memcpy`, `memset` etc, some of which may have a LLVM primitive op counterpart), which makes it easier for projects like ghcjs, eta, or the upcoming ghc/wasm if `ghc-prim` already provides the primitives in a single central place, than having to patch N packages which FFI call themselves. It seems to me, that `memchr(3)` may be the only one left from the ISO C99 set of `mem*` family of functions operating on byte arrays we haven't yet wrapped. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14882#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
