#12129: Optimize the implementation of minusInteger in the integer-gmp package -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: admock | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries | Version: 8.0.1 (other) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Runtime Unknown/Multiple | performance bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- As mentioned in [https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2016/05/weigh-package], the current implementation of `minusInteger` is {{{#!hs minusInteger x y = inline plusInteger x (inline negateInteger y) }}} which always allocates an additional integer. This could be improved by not always calling `negateInteger` and instead having an implementation more like `plusInteger`'s. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12129 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
