No, I've tried with and without the type parameter, it's the same "type" of error leading me to think there is something I'm missing about prim type declarations, here are the variations. primtype DoubleVec# primop ExtractDoubleVecOp "extractDoubleVec#" GenPrimOp DoubleVec# -> Int# -> Double# make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=1 phase_1_builds /usr/bin/gcc -E -undef -traditional -P -Iincludes -x c compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp | grep -v '^#pragma GCC' > compiler/prelude/primops.txt "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --data-decl < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-data-decl.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --primop-tag < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-tag.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --primop-list < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-list.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --has-side-effects < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-has-side-effects.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --out-of-line < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-out-of-line.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --commutable < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-commutable.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --code-size < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-code-size.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --can-fail < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-can-fail.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --strictness < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-strictness.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --primop-primop-info < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-primop-info.hs-incl genprimopcode: ppType: can't handle: TyApp "DoubleVec#" [] make[1]: *** [compiler/primop-primop-info.hs-incl] Error 1 make[1]: *** Deleting file `compiler/primop-primop-info.hs-incl' make: *** [all] Error 2 And: primop ExtractDoubleVecOp "extractDoubleVec#" GenPrimOp DoubleVec# a -> Int# -> Double# make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=1 phase_1_builds /usr/bin/gcc -E -undef -traditional -P -Iincludes -x c compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp | grep -v '^#pragma GCC' > compiler/prelude/primops.txt "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --data-decl < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-data-decl.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --primop-tag < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-tag.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --primop-list < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-list.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --has-side-effects < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-has-side-effects.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --out-of-line < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-out-of-line.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --commutable < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-commutable.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --code-size < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-code-size.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --can-fail < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-can-fail.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --strictness < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-strictness.hs-incl "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --primop-primop-info < compiler/prelude/primops.txt > compiler/primop-primop-info.hs-incl genprimopcode: ppType: can't handle: TyApp "DoubleVec#" [TyVar "a"] make[1]: *** [compiler/primop-primop-info.hs-incl] Error 1 make[1]: *** Deleting file `compiler/primop-primop-info.hs-incl' make: *** [all] Error 2 Paul Monday Parallel Scientific, LLC. paul.monday@parsci.com On Oct 10, 2011, at 5:10 PM, Daniel Fischer wrote:

There seems to be plenty of documentation around on implementing a new primop, much of it needs some tweaking as files have moved and such. I can't seem to find any documentation about how to implement primtypes though.
For example, I want to experiment with a new primtype "DV#", my assumption that the type was first declared in the primops.txt.pp seems incorrect. So I'm trying to backtrack a bit and see where primtypes first appear, I'm hoping someone can at least give me a pointer :-)
For example: ./compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp
Add the following: primtype DoubleVec# a
Has a type parameter
Compiles fine
Add a primop on the type: primop ExtractDoubleVecOp "extractDoubleVec#" GenPrimOp DoubleVec# -> Int# -> Double#
Used without type parameter
Might be as simple as that.
