#7902: Add support for byte endianness swapping exposed as a primops -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: tab | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.7 | Keywords: bswap endianness Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment(by tab): At this stage this is for RFC, i've quite possibly missed something at any level. Also I didn't want to refactor the llvm codegen popcnt function to support bswap as this might look more scary in the patch diff, but i'll respin the patch if everyone is happy with the direction and such. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7902#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
