#8199: Get rid of HEAP_ALLOCED -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: 7.10.1 Priority: normal | Version: 7.7 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Project (more Unknown/Multiple | than a week) Type of failure: | Blocked By: 5435 None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: D207 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): @ajp the problem is that this data is statically linked, not mmapped. If we move it somewhere else, all the references within it will be wrong. That's what method 2 was doing: relocating all the static closures elsewhere and fixing up all the pointers. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8199#comment:46 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
