What is ISA? Why is it not possible to add CPU functions for `div` and `mod`? > The only processor I know of (NS 32k) with a different division is long > dead. If efficiency on current CPUs is the only advantage of `quot` and `rem`, then for future versions of Haskell I propose to fix these functions to the type Int rather than making them class methods. For non-machine types like Integer the efficiency argument does certainly not hold. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
