This is a part of GHC Proposal #25: "Offer more array resizing primitives". Resources related to the proposal: - Discussion: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/121 - Proposal: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0025-resize-boxed.rst Only shrinkSmallMutableArray# is implemented as a primop since a library-space implementation of resizeSmallMutableArray# (in GHC.Exts) is no less efficient than a primop would be. This may be replaced by a primop in the future if someone devises a strategy for growing arrays in-place. The library-space implementation always copies the array when growing it. This commit also tweaks the documentation of the deprecated sizeofMutableByteArray#, removing the mention of concurrency. That primop is unsound even in single-threaded applications. Additionally, the non-negativity assertion on the existing shrinkMutableByteArray# primop has been removed since this predicate is trivially always true.
