#5218: Add unpackCStringLen# to create Strings from string literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.0.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Runtime | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #5877 #10064 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): Doesn't it work to have string literals be of type `(# Int#, Addr# #)` (see comment:38)? The unboxed tuple will be passed as two arguments, but in Core you can name the unboxed tuple and pass it around as a single entity. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5218#comment:42 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
