* Implement SSE2 floating-point support in the x86 native code generator (#594)Simon Marlow2010-02-042-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new flag -msse2 enables code generation for SSE2 on x86. It results in substantially faster floating-point performance; the main reason for doing this was that our x87 code generation is appallingly bad, and since we plan to drop -fvia-C soon, we need a way to generate half-decent floating-point code. The catch is that SSE2 is only available on CPUs that support it (P4+, AMD K8+). We'll have to think hard about whether we should enable it by default for the libraries we ship. In the meantime, at least -msse2 should be an acceptable replacement for "-fvia-C -optc-ffast-math -fexcess-precision". SSE2 also has the advantage of performing all operations at the correct precision, so floating-point results are consistent with other platforms. I also tweaked the x87 code generation a bit while I was here, now it's slighlty less bad than before.

* Add 'rec' to stmts in a 'do', and deprecate 'mdo'simonpj@microsoft.com2009-10-281-35/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The change is this (see Trac #2798). Instead of writing mdo { a <- getChar ; b <- f c ; c <- g b ; putChar c ; return b } you would write do { a <- getChar ; rec { b <- f c ; c <- g b } ; putChar c ; return b } That is, * 'mdo' is eliminated * 'rec' is added, which groups a bunch of statements into a single recursive statement This 'rec' thing is already present for the arrow notation, so it makes the two more uniform. Moreover, 'rec' lets you say more precisely where the recursion is (if you want to), whereas 'mdo' just says "there's recursion here somewhere". Lastly, all this works with rebindable syntax (which mdo does not). Currently 'mdo' is enabled by -XRecursiveDo. So we now deprecate this flag, with another flag -XDoRec to enable the 'rec' keyword. Implementation notes: * Some changes in Lexer.x * All uses of RecStmt now use record syntax I'm still not really happy with the "rec_ids" and "later_ids" in the RecStmt constructor, but I don't dare change it without consulting Ross about the consequences for arrow syntax.
* Add flags -fno-specialise, -fno-float-in, and document themsimonpj@microsoft.com2009-10-202-2/+36
| | | | | | It turned out that we lacked flags to switch off these two passes, so I added them.

* Improve the default parallel GC settings, and sanitise the flags (#3340)Simon Marlow2009-09-152-35/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Flags (from +RTS -?): -qg[<n>] Use parallel GC only for generations >= <n> (default: 0, -qg alone turns off parallel GC) -qb[<n>] Use load-balancing in the parallel GC only for generations >= <n> (default: 1, -qb alone turns off load-balancing) these are good defaults for most parallel programs. Single-threaded programs that want to make use of parallel GC will probably want +RTS -qg1 (this is documented). I've also updated the docs.
* Update the "Hints for using SMP parallelism" sectionSimon Marlow2009-09-151-13/+14
