#14124: add shrink prim-op for other array type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: winter | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This issue arised in the recently PR to bring unified array interface to primitive: https://github.com/haskell/primitive/pull/64 . In that issue andrewthad ask if we want to keep `shrikArr` API. My guts feels that it's possible for other type of array as well since it's just the same closure overwrite thing. So i'm asking for adding such prim-op here. I suppose we should provide `getSizeOfXXX` prim-op which consume a state token for other array type as well since the array size is not referential transparent now. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14124 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
