#8153: Implement AES intrinsics ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: schyler | Owner: Type: feature | Status: closed request | Milestone: Priority: low | Version: Component: | Keywords: Compiler | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Resolution: wontfix | Difficulty: Moderate (less than a day) Operating System: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Type of failure: | None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by rrnewton): I tend to agree with the previous comment. I built one crypto PRNG lib using AESNI (in foreign code). It just seems like there aren't that many uses of it, and that it's fine to keep it in foreign code. That's in stark contrast with the SIMD primops, where you really want it to be inline inside your numeric loops (and its a wide variety of loops/algorithms that can use it). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8153#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
