Hello all, I have written down the remaining steps which need to be taken in order to compact a ModIface, which we hope will be useful for applications such as IDEs to reduce GC time.
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17097#roadmap-to-compacting-a-modiface If there is anyone who wishes to help with this project then please ping me on IRC. So far this is joint work between myself and Daniel G. The first step we need to take is to get 1675 merged which replaces the type backing a FastString from a ByteString to a ShortByteString (and hence from a pinned ByteArray to an unpinned ByteArray). https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/1675 Cheers, Matt _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
