That's exactly what I'm asking about. 'abs' in C does not require any
allocations, does it? So why does it require any allocations in
Haskell,
assuming we've got no lazyness, typeclass indirection (I assume 'abs'
was specialized and inlined) or other high-level features in resulted
low-level code?
Quite a few obvious specializations / rules are missing; you can
propose them. Answering your question about the implementation of
abs, my guess is that the current definition works for every type (I'm
pretty sure C doesn't know what to do with a Data.Ratio).
