#7883: enable GHC LLVM backend to use LLVM provided CAS / Atomicity primitives? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: carter Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by carter): note: the primary first user for this planned work, ryan newton, is ok with the atomic operations being the threaded versions even with the single threaded RTS. (this will simplify initial engineering, though it does mean there will be a small perf penalty on sequential RTS relative to theoretical peformance). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7883#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
