#11565: Restore code to handle '-fmax-worker-args' flag -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: slyfox | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | 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 simonpj): Yes, it's bad for worker/wrapper to generate a worker function with a vast number of arguments. Some limit in the worker/wrapper generator would be a Good Thing. Should not be too hard. Unlike the old days, we don't need to trim the strictness signature. In the old days, the strictness signature was used by importing modules to generate an appropriate wrapper; but now the wrapper is conveyed by an ordinary inlining. So there is just one place the choice is made, namely when generating the worker/wrapper split. I can advise if someone wants to try this Simon -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11565#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
