#9251: ghc does not expose branchless max/min operations as primops -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Runtime | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9246 | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by carter): the idea is not to use it for the normal comparison code, but to make it available for those who need suitable supporting primops. *THOUGH* if we can provide suitable instruction level versions of the Ord based min and max, thats a thing we can think about too. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9251#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
