Thread status constants

2014-07-18 Thread Kyle Van Berendonck
Hi, I found these: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/5f3c5384df59717ca8013c5df8d1f65692867825/includes/rts/Constants.h#L194 They go only 0-14, so there's some long chains of branches and stuff in hot paths that could be cleaned up into single &-masked branches by changing these into a set of flags.

Hmm. I just got flagged as a spambot trying to reply to a ticket too. It did give me a captcha option though. ___ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs

Re: Haskell Support on Windows (Simon Peyton Jones)

2014-04-01 Thread Kyle Van Berendonck
A couple of poor assumptions are made here. The first is that the userbase of GHC on Windows is poor. This is false. In fact, the poor state of Windows is mentioned on #haskell more frequently as of late. In the last week I've talked almost every day to (different) people who have had Windows woes

Folding constants for floats

2014-01-13 Thread Kyle Van Berendonck
Hi, I'm cutting my teeth on some constant folding for floats in the cmm. I have a question regarding the ticket I'm tackling: Should floats be folded with infinite precision (and later truncated to the platform float size) -- most useful/accurate, or folded with the platform precision, i.e. doub

The build/test system could be scaring away potential developers too. Not to complain or anything, but I used to try building GHC (form scratch) every 2 months or so and It would (usually) completely fail to build on Windows and OSX, and when it does, there would be some problem with the makefile

LLVM opt/llc command settings (under Windows) IRT #7143

Hi, It was suggested on #ghc we get a discussion going about #7143. We think it's a good idea that `we should have a default value for lllc and opt anyways ... even in[if] the host building system doesn't have it locally`. Non-windows platforms seem to have one that's configured in aclocal.m4. I

Hi Simon, I think this is a MinGW bug. If we're talking about the same bug (lockup, no console output, task manager shows cpu but it doesn't produce files, etc) I get it when building other projects with -j too and I don't think its GHC's fault. Regards,

Not sure if this applies here, but withSocketsDo is a huge gotcha. It doesn't affect Linux, but all networking code on BSD(?)/Windows that doesn't use it fails to boot with an unfriendly runtime error (and many people leave it out). A warning for this would be good. Regards. On Thu, May 23, 20
