#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 rrnewton): Sorry, I was just referring to the proposal to "substitute the cas funcall with the right llvm operation" as rewriting. That is, the approach would pattern match for the CMM code "ccall cas" or "foreign "C" cas" (I'm afraid I don't know the difference between those) and replace it with the equivalent LLVM op, right? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7883#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
