#16190: Speed up handling of large String literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hsyl20 | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.3 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by hsyl20):
Do you really need a separate binary file? That seems a bit complicated... Can't you just have literal data in the assembly file?
Part of the optimization is to avoid ending up with binary data in textual form in a source file (e.g. assembly file). It's not complicated, GHC already has all the machinery to do it (addTempFile, addForeignFilePath, etc.). It should be worth trying in my opinion.
Would any of these get fixed?
As far as I know, no. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16190#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
