Folks,
I found some of the documentation in GHC.Prim confusing - so I thought
I'd share. The documentation for the ByteArray# type[1] explains
that's it's a raw region in memory that also remembers it's size.
Consequently I expected sizeOfByteArray# to return the same number
that I passed in to newByteArray#. But it doesn't - It returned
however much it decided to allocate, which on my platform is always a
multiple of four bytes.
This is something which could be clarified in the documentation.
Thanks, I'll fix the docs.
Cheers,
Simon
