#9703: Add missing calling conventions to Template Haskell -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: luite | Owner: ekmett Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | Type of failure: hour) | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Template Haskell only supports the `CCall` and `StdCall` calling conventions, while GHC supports more: http://git.haskell.org/packages/template- haskell.git/blob/9bcc122819a6f4a2ae7ad569717324b8368e801c:/Language/Haskell/TH/Syntax.hs#l1311 http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/7369d2595a8cceebe457a44c8400828f4df87ea0... `CApiConv`, `PrimCallConv` and `JavaScriptCallConv` are missing, and I think they should just be added unless this is expected to lead to problems. I'd personally like to have `JavaScriptCallConv` so I can remove the horrible hacks to make ghcjs-ffiqq (https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs-ffiqq) work. I imagine that `PrimCallConv` would be useful for a package using a similar approach for high performance inline assembly or LLVM with quasiquotes. A small change in GHC required to convert the new constructors, and possibly to check if the required extension is enabled. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9703 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
