#8199: Get rid of HEAP_ALLOCED -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: 5435 | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: D207 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): I believe lazy committing should be the default if you just allocate a chunk of memory with `VirtualAlloc`. The pages will be lazily faulted in as necessary, so the pages we never touch won't consume any memory. We just need to use the convention that a zero bit means "not heap". -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8199#comment:53 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
