#15638: Make Ptr argument to hGetBuf and hGetBufSome strict -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andrewthad | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.3 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently, we have: {{{ hGetBufSome :: Handle -> Ptr a -> Int -> IO Int hGetBufSome h ptr count = ... hGetBuf :: Handle -> Ptr a -> Int -> IO Int hGetBuf h ptr count }}} I propose putting a bang pattern on the `ptr` argument to both of these functions. Currently, the non-strictness of this argument causes it to be boxed by functions that call it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15638 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
