#6135: Unboxed Booleans ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: benl | Owner: jstolarek Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.1 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: #605 | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by jstolarek): I read paper about pointer tagging and things seem to be clearer now. I rewrote wiki page about [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6135 PrimBool] from scratch. I think that now it defines the goal very clearly by giving code examples. There are also workarounds for the problem. If you guys could take a look and tell me if this makes sense it would be great. I failed to figure out a code example that would actually go faster using my workarounds. The ones I created have about 0,4% increase in performance, which is a negligible difference. I will be working on this. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6135#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
