#5218: Add unpackCStringLen# to create Strings from string literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.0.3 Resolution: | Keywords: strings 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): Phab:D2443 #11312, #9719 | Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by phadej): Replying to [comment:74 jscholl]: I have been trying to write something similar down in https://github.com /ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/compare/master...phadej:bytearray-literals It has a different syntax, which I think makes more sense than double- hash. Ben have given some comments already (they are inline in proposal text, so I remember them). He is worried about ByteArray#s code size, and I'm proposing similar "let's rewrite them to Addr# when possible" approach. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5218#comment:83 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
