    ghc-prim : Hide 64 bit primops when the word size is 32 bits (fixes #9886). · 19440ae2
    Erik de Castro Lopo authored
    Summary:
    These primops were failing to compile on PowerPC (32 bit). There is also
    currently no way to call into these primops from Haskell code. Currently,
    the *only* way to call any of these C hs_atomic_* functions is via the
    fetch*IntArray primops which are only defined for Int values and Int is
    always the native word size.
    
    When these functions can be called (and tested) from Haskell code, then
    it will be worth while implementing them.
    
    Test Plan:
        Compile and run on x86, x86_64, powerpc and arm:
        testsuite/tests/concurrent/should_run/AtomicPrimops.hs
