* RTS tidyup sweep, first phaseSimon Marlow2009-08-021-208/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first phase of this tidyup is focussed on the header files, and in particular making sure we are exposinng publicly exactly what we need to, and no more. - Rts.h now includes everything that the RTS exposes publicly, rather than a random subset of it. - Most of the public header files have moved into subdirectories, and many of them have been renamed. But clients should not need to include any of the other headers directly, just #include the main public headers: Rts.h, HsFFI.h, RtsAPI.h. - All the headers needed for via-C compilation have moved into the stg subdirectory, which is self-contained. Most of the headers for the rest of the RTS APIs have moved into the rts subdirectory. - I left MachDeps.h where it is, because it is so widely used in Haskell code. - I left a deprecated stub for RtsFlags.h in place. The flag structures are now exposed by Rts.h. - Various internal APIs are no longer exposed by public header files. - Various bits of dead code and declarations have been removed - More gcc warnings are turned on, and the RTS code is more warning-clean. - More source files #include "PosixSource.h", and hence only use standard POSIX (1003.1c-1995) interfaces. There is a lot more tidying up still to do, this is just the first pass. I also intend to standardise the names for external RTS APIs (e.g use the rts_ prefix consistently), and declare the internal APIs as hidden for shared libraries.
* Redesign 64-bit HEAP_ALLOCED (FIX #2934 at the same time)Simon Marlow2009-03-091-12/+134
| | | | | | | | After much experimentation, I've found a formulation for HEAP_ALLOCED that (a) improves performance, and (b) doesn't have any race conditions when used concurrently. GC performance on x86_64 should be improved slightly. See extensive comments in MBlock.h for the details.

* +RTS -xbXXXXX sets the "heap base" to 0xXXXXXXSimon Marlow2007-06-271-16/+1
| | | | | | | | | | When debugging the GC and storage manager we often want repeated runs of the program to allocate memory at the same addresses, so that we can set watch points. Unfortunately the OS doesn't always give us memory at predictable addresses. This flag gives the OS a hint as to where we would like our memory allocated. Previously I did this by changing the HEAP_BASE setting in MBlock.h and recompiling, this patch just adds a flag so I don't have to recompile.
* Split GC.c, and move storage manager into sm/ directorySimon Marlow2006-10-241-0/+90
In preparation for parallel GC, split up the monolithic GC.c file into smaller parts. Also in this patch (and difficult to separate, unfortunatley): - Don't include Stable.h in Rts.h, instead just include it where necessary. - consistently use STATIC_INLINE in source files, and INLINE_HEADER in header files. STATIC_INLINE is now turned off when DEBUG is on, to make debugging easier. - The GC no longer takes the get_roots function as an argument. We weren't making use of this generalisation.
