#8996: mark more things as const in C codegen -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: slyfox | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 (CodeGen) | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Type of failure: None/Unknown | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ezyang): I think the intent is good. However, I'd probably go about doing it slightly differently: we want this to apply to all read-only data (so `ReadOnlyData`, `RelocatableReadOnlyData` and `ReadOnlyData16`), so it sounds like what you should do is go through all the PprC branches looking for places where a 'const' could be inserted, and then check if the relevant section is readonly. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8996#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
