#5218: Add unpackCStringLen# to create Strings from string literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: Type: feature request | thoughtpolice Priority: normal | Status: new Component: Compiler | Milestone: 7.12.1 Resolution: | Version: 7.0.3 Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Keywords: Type of failure: Runtime | Architecture: performance bug | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: 5877 | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nomeata): I just put two 15000-element unboxed vector of Word16 in a module, using `fromList [...]` and compile time is annoying, and the runtime overhear is (possibly unjustified) worrying me. Having a way to have a literal form of such an array (which then hopefully is put into the program as-is) would be nice. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5218#comment:29 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
