#8590: Reduce code size of CAFs -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: parcs | Owner: parcs Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (NCG) | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by parcs): Thanks for the comments. I've deduplicated and updated the CAF documentation in a followup patch. In the meantime, I noticed an oversight in the original patch. `lockCAF()` was not setting the profiling header of the newly-allocated blackhole. To fix this, I changed the following line {{{ #!c bh->header.info = &stg_CAF_BLACKHOLE_info; }}} to {{{ #!c SET_HDR(bh, &stg_CAF_BLACKHOLE_info, caf->header.prof.ccs); }}} which has the blackhole inherit the CCS from the respective CAF, equivalent to what the old code did. I'm going to commit this patch now. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8590#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
