I'm very in support of getting rid of the mangler.
FWIW, I just had a peek at the mangler, and it appears that it is now only used for TNTC and stack alignment. I also looked for references to the mangler with respect to SIMD in the wiki, but couldn't find anything other than a blank section [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/Backends/LLVM/Mang... here]. I also couldn't find anything WRT Windows and the mangler. Finally, according to #4211 (as of commit 8a1c644af72caf122e73dac801496c055fc82dd9), the mangler is no longer needed to fix the stack on OSX. If true, completing this ticket may be the end of the mangler. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4213#comment:25 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
