{-# NOINLINE name #-} | -----Original Message----- | From: George Russell [mailto:ger@tzi.de] | Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 3:46 PM | To: haskell@haskell.org | Subject: How do you stop functions being inlined? | | | Well, I think we all know the answer to this one, namely | {-# NOINLINE [name] #-} | This is, after all, what GHC does, and what several of the | files in ghc/fptools do. | | Only slight problem is that according to the Haskell 98 | report, including Simon Peyton Jones' revised draft, you | should use: | {-# notInline [name] #-} | Most of the time in fptools/hslibs (which I have from | GHC), NOINLINE is used, but in one case notInline is used. | | Of course one of the delights of pragmas is that the | "pragma should be ignored if an implementation is not prepared to | handle it.". So if you guess wrong, you may never know, | until you get a mysterious bug from GHC inlining a call to | create a global variable via unsafePerformIO. Aren't pragmas | wonderful? | | Would someone tell me which we are supposed to use? Or | should I use both "NOINLINE" and "notInline", just to be on | the safe side? | | _______________________________________________ | Haskell mailing list | Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell |
