#9343: foldl' is not a good consumer -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Differential Revisions: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Runtime | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Some fancy footwork went into making length a good consumer. Since `length = foldl' (\n _ -> n + 1) 0`, I was wondering if a trick similar to the one used for length might work for more general strict left folds. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9343 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
