#14124: add shrink prim-op for other array type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: winter | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by winter: Old description:
This issue arised in the recently PR to bring unified array interface to primitive: https://github.com/haskell/primitive/pull/64 . In that issue andrewthad ask if we want to keep `shrikArr` API. My guts feels that it's possible for other type of array as well since it's just the same closure overwrite thing. So i'm asking for adding such prim-op here.
I suppose we should provide `getSizeOfXXX` prim-op which consume a state token for other array type as well since the array size is not referential transparent now.
