#7847: Maintain per-generation lists of weak pointers -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: akio | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Component: Runtime System Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Compile-time performance bug | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment(by akio): I updated and re-validated the patches, following the suggestions given by Edward Yang on ghc-devs. I believe now the code doesn't have the addCFianlizerToWeak# / finalizeWeak# race condition. It also fixes a finalizeWeak# / finalizeWeak# race condition that existed before my changes. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7847#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
