It is better than allocate() because it doesn't require taking the sm_mutex lock in the common case. Memory is allocated directly from the nursery if possible (but not from the current nursery block, so as not to interfere with Hp/HpLim). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ }}} Not sure what, if anything, `allocate()` is better than, but it's not `allocate()`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8254 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
