Synopsis

Words and bytes

type WordOff = Int #

Word offset, or word count

type ByteOff = Int #

Byte offset, or byte count

wordsToBytes :: Num a => DynFlags -> a -> a #

Convert the given number of words to a number of bytes.

This function morally has type WordOff -> ByteOff, but uses Num a to allow for overloading.

bytesToWordsRoundUp :: DynFlags -> ByteOff -> WordOff #

First round the given byte count up to a multiple of the machine's word size and then convert the result to words.

roundUpToWords :: DynFlags -> ByteOff -> ByteOff #

Round up the given byte count to the next byte count that's a multiple of the machine's word size.

Closure repesentation

data SMRep #

A description of the layout of a closure. Corresponds directly to the closure types in includesrtsstorage/ClosureTypes.h.

Instances

type IsStatic = Bool #

True = This is a static closure. Affects how we garbage-collect it. Static closure have an extra static link field at the end. Constructors do not have a static variant; see Note [static constructors]

data ArgDescr #

Constructors

ArgSpec !Int 
ArgGen Liveness 

Instances

type Liveness = [Bool] #

Construction

Predicates

Size-related things

heapClosureSizeW :: DynFlags -> SMRep -> WordOff #

The total size of the closure, in words.

fixedHdrSizeW :: DynFlags -> WordOff #

Size of a closure header (StgHeader in includesrtsstorage/Closures.h)

profHdrSize :: DynFlags -> WordOff #

Size of the profiling part of a closure header (StgProfHeader in includesrtsstorage/Closures.h)

RTS closure types

rtsClosureType :: SMRep -> Int #

Derives the RTS closure type from an SMRep

Arrays

card :: DynFlags -> Int -> Int #

The byte offset into the card table of the card for a given element

cardRoundUp :: DynFlags -> Int -> Int #

Convert a number of elements to a number of cards, rounding up

cardTableSizeB :: DynFlags -> Int -> ByteOff #

The size of a card table, in bytes

cardTableSizeW :: DynFlags -> Int -> WordOff #

The size of a card table, in words
