#8923: Add SmallArray# type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: tibbe | Owner: tibbe Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by tibbe): I've written a patch (untested, but compiles) that adds a `StgSmallMutArrPtrs` type to the RTS. I would like a preliminary, high- level review of these changes to know if there are any major parts I'm missing. If this patch looks mostly OK I will go ahead and implement the compiler changes (i.e. type system and code generator changes) and write some tests. I'm was thinking of splitting the change into perhaps 3 commits for ease of reviewing: the RTS changes (roughly this patch), the compiler front-end changes (`Type` things), and finally the primops changes to code generator. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8923#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
