#8590: Reduce code size of CAFs -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: parcs | Owner: parcs Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (NCG) | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonmar): Yes, this is a good plan. I think I considered it before but I was worried about the cost of `allocate` vs. inline allocation in the CAF code, but I think a 2% reduction in code size is worth far more, and CAF entry is a one-time cost. So go ahead! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8590#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
