Indirection vs. in-place update of closures

Hi, Is there any data available on how often, in GHC-generated code, closures are being updated in-place as opposed to and in comparison with being replaced by indirections to their results? How is it decided whether an in-place or an indirecting update is performed? Thanks, Stefan

Re: GHC 6.6.1 on Debian Etch?

In the end I created a new ghc6 package from the binary bundle by slight modifications and shameless theft from Ian Lynagh control file. It seems to work together with libreadline4 from Sarge. I'm willing to share it with anybody interested. -- Regards, Feri.

2^32 b, 6.6 for Itanium

Dear GHC developers, I have the two questions. 1. How ghc-6.6 runs on 64-bit machines having more that 2^32 byte memory ? Can it run into Segmentation fault ? 2. Can you prepare a reliable ghc-6.6 binary for Itanium a64 Linux ? Or maybe, someone can contribute ? One of my
