#10962: Improved arithmetic primops -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nkaretnikov | Owner: nkaretnikov Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | wiki:ImprovedArithmeticPrimops | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by erikd): Sorry, to bring this up so late in the release cycle, but I have soem concerns about both the name and the type signature of this new function. Before this was added we had: {{{ plusWord2# :: Word# -> Word# -> (# Word#, Word# #) timesWord2# :: Word# -> Word# -> (# Word#, Word# #) quotRemWord#" :: Word# -> Word# -> (# Word#, Word# #) }}} and now we have added: {{{ subWordC# :: Word# -> Word# -> (# Word#, Int# #) }}} which has a name and a type signature that is wildly out of whack with the others. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10962#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
