Hello,
I've discovered that the remAddr# primop documentation is inconsistent with
the implementation.
According to the docs (primops.txt.pp) the remAddr# should be the same as
remInt#.
> primop AddrRemOp "remAddr#" GenPrimOp Addr# -> Int# -> Int# {Return
> the remainder when the {\tt Addr\#} arg, treated like an {\tt Int\#},
> is divided by the {\tt Int\#} arg.}
>
> But it is implemented with the mo_wordURem instruction, just like the
WordRemOp primop.
> GHC/StgToCmm/Prim.hs:
>
AddrRemOp -> \args -> opTranslate args (mo_wordURem platform)
>
WordRemOp -> \args -> opTranslate args (mo_wordURem platform)
>
IntRemOp -> \args -> opTranslate args (mo_wordSRem platform)
>
Which one is correct, the docs or the implementation?
Regards,
Csaba Hruska
