#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): Phab:D4472 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): So I'm a bit unsure of how to proceed. On one hand, I can see the argument for consistency and having a uniform interface to these primitives across Haskell implementations (e.g. GHC, GHCJS, an eventual WebAssembly implementation, Eta) is nice. On the other, this uniform interface could likely be as-easily provided in a library. Given the relatively small size of the patch and the fact that we seem to agree that this will be the last such primop (since this is indeed the only C99 memory primitive that we lack), I'm not particularly opposed to merging it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14882#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
