#7718: ios patch no 8: adjustor pools --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: StephenBlackheath | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Os: Other | Architecture: arm Failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: 7724 | Related: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by StephenBlackheath): igloo: I think this is correct (this whole business is quite complicated): On most platforms (but not iOS) libffi gives executable and writable pointers that are the same. i386 and x86_64 on all OSes including Linux do their own adjustors (which assume exec & writable are the same). On iOS libffi requires exec & writable pointers to be different and so we need a hash table to associate them. Most platforms do not require this overhead, so I've left them untouched except for abstracting the difference between executable/writable pointers a little bit using an explicit execToWritable() which is a no-op on most platforms. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7718#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
