#7942: aarch64 support in ghc -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jcapik | Owner: Type: feature | Status: closed request | Milestone: 7.10.1 Priority: normal | Version: Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: fixed | Architecture: arm Operating System: Linux | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: GHC | Blocked By: doesn't work at all | Related Tickets: 7623, 8664 Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): One general note: the code in StgCRun written for ARM64 was probably written by me (I've provided the patch to Colin). So if this is this code, then please be assured that this code *never* has run on ARM64. It was written just from reading doc and as a first attempt to add support for registerised ARM64. At that time I've finished with this since I had not machine, ARM's foundation model was really slow and LLVM project was just before big merge from ARM's own AArch64 and Apple's own ARM64 LLVM backends together. Although the situation now looks way much better, at least both LLVM backends were merged together and even some hardware appears this all still means that if nobody has done it yet, then someone needs to do quite a lot. When I've been working on ARM port with Stephen, David helped me a lot and we wrote following LLVM/porting guide.
