Draft: Porting MMTK: Elimitating usage of `bdescr` and generations in non-sm part of RTS
Thank you for your contribution to GHC!
Please take a few moments to verify that your commits fulfill the following:
-
are either individually buildable or squashed -- buildable with hadrian and works for trivial test fibo.hs -
have commit messages which describe what they do (referring to Notes and tickets using #NNNN
syntax when appropriate) -- there are some commit messages -
have added source comments describing your change. For larger changes you likely should add a Note and cross-reference it from the relevant places. -
add a testcase to the testsuite. -- no testcase -
Currently working on preparation to port MMTK to GHC:
MMTK has its sets of storage managements and GC plans. To port MMTK, the RTS should not have direct usage/assumptions on the structure of storage managements and GC algorithm. (e.g. usage ofbdescr
andRtsFlags.GcFlags.generations
in the non-sm part of RTS).
If you have any questions don't hesitate to open your merge request and inquire
