#8703: Use guard pages rather than heap checks -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: schyler | Owner: simonmar Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: Resolution: wontfix | 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 varosi): hm, it's not a hackery, but platform specific. Is it needed all pages to be linked in a linked list? I mean that it is possible to realloc() current page until it is possible to resize it. That way we'll have less jumps and guard pages. So we'll have linked list, but from larger memory chunks. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8703#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
