#8199: Get rid of HEAP_ALLOCED -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: 5435 | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: D207 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): I wonder whether we might try an alternative strategy on Windows: a bitmap covering the whole 48-bit address space (units of 1MB) is only 32MB, and most of it won't be touched in the common case. The remaining question is whether checking this bitmap can be made as cheap as the current cache. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8199#comment:50 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
