#8788: Remove old comment -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: Tarrasch | Owner: simonmar Type: task | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Runtime | Version: 7.6.3 System | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by Tarrasch): Did you see my comment in the commit message? I reproduce it here: ''There's no way to reuse the code for say [P, P] and [P, N], since the juxtaposing of code and data when compiling with TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE.'' Well I guess it still applies if you don't compile with `TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE`. Here is some more elaboration: If you intend to share the code but have two different tables, you do that by letting the "code-entry-pointer" in the two tables point to the same code. But there's no such "code-entry- pointer" field with `TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8788#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
