#8816: Make SPARC registerised again. ------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: kgardas | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: sparc Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: 8847 | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by kgardas): Hi Sergei, I've just attached {{{git diff}}} in my sparc registerised build tree. It's really old, so probably bit rotted more or less but perhaps you may find it at least a little bit helpful. If I remember correctly, this was able to get GHC running and the majority of failures were caused by bug in show of double type -- hence my attempt to test this in bindisttest/HelloWorld.lhs. The issue was in register mapping while traversing calls from Haskell to C and back in showPrec function IIRC. Otherwise it kind of worked at least somehow. I'll not have time to resurrect my attempts on SPARC for a few upcoming months at least but would be glad if you can have a look at it. I'm surprised you are using sparc linux. I've thought Linux is not well supported on SPARC. My reference hence was always Solaris, but due to recent Oracle movements w.r.t. this OS I'm moving away from it to OpenBSD land... Thanks!
