#7923: Optimization for takeMVar/putMVar when MVar left empty ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Runtime System Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Runtime performance bug | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Right now, we always add an MVar to the mutable list when we takeMVar/putMVar. However, this is unnecessary when the MVar is left empty. This patch arranges that we don't add the MVar to the mutable list in those cases. I've validated the patch but haven't checked performance changes yet. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7923 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
