2025-02-08 12:09:39 +0100 <euouae> nice, thank you
2025-02-08 12:09:22 +0100 <geekosaur> https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary is another very good place to look
2025-02-08 12:08:49 +0100 <geekosaur> this happens post-Cmm in the compile pipeline

2025-02-08 12:08:17 +0100 <euouae> I'm realizing the GHC docs are a valuable source to learn stuff from
2025-02-08 12:07:49 +0100 <euouae> very nice
2025-02-08 12:07:41 +0100 <geekosaur> unless you're in LLVM mode where it outputs LLVM IR and calls `opt` and `llc`
2025-02-08 12:07:24 +0100 <geekosaur> it generates assembly language and calls `as` on it
2025-02-08 12:07:04 +0100 <euouae> yup; although it doesn't explain how the code is natively generated
2025-02-08 12:06:27 +0100 <geekosaur> section 1.5.6 in particular, second entry
2025-02-08 12:04:01 +0100 <euouae> ah thank you
2025-02-08 12:03:51 +0100 <int-e> (more generally you can start from https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html and select the version and that'll have a release notes link)
2025-02-08 12:03:23 +0100 <int-e> https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.2.1/docs/html/users_guide/release-7-2-1.html
2025-02-08 12:02:40 +0100 <euouae> I can't find a changelog file, how can I read the GHC notes for 7.2?
2025-02-08 12:02:24 +0100 <euouae> no that's not what I meant
2025-02-08 12:00:58 +0100 <geekosaur> unless you mean unregisterised mode, but you absolutely don't want that if you want speed; it's intended for porting and produces extremely slow but extremely portable ANSI C
2025-02-08 11:59:56 +0100 <geekosaur> not since 7.2
2025-02-08 11:59:28 +0100 <euouae> does ghc still target C? because tahts' what STG targets in SPJs paper
2025-02-08 11:53:47 +0100 <geekosaur> (certainly old implementation papers will be too old to help, especially since none of them will know about amd64 or aarch64)
2025-02-08 11:48:28 +0100 <geekosaur> there are a few things at Cmm and STG levels but you won't find anything except the ghc source to help with those
2025-02-08 11:48:19 +0100 <euouae> Ah, hm... I meant that I want to write code that is fast, not to study the optimizations of GHC
2025-02-08 11:47:50 +0100 <geekosaur> almost all optimizations in ghc are done at the level of Core
2025-02-08 11:47:46 +0100 <euouae> I've read that Core does not capture certain issues with memory use & other benchmarking analysis
2025-02-08 11:47:25 +0100 <geekosaur> GRIN itself seems to be kinda stuck, but STGi will show you how STG works without requiring you to delve into implementation details (SPJ's paper talks a lot about register allocation etc.)
