#8256: adding locality levels to prefetch# and friends -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: carter Type: task | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | 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: #8252 ,#8107 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by tibbe): Some comments on the patch: * It needs to work on all backends. It's fine if it's a no-op on some backends. * There needs to be a basic should_run test somewhere. * The primops need a better suffix that 0-3 I think. Do the levels have descriptive names whose abbreviations we could use? * The primops need docs. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8256#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
