* cpp: Use #pragma once instead of #ifndef guardsBen Gamari2017-04-231-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This both says what we mean and silences a bunch of spurious CPP linting warnings. This pragma is supported by all CPP implementations which we support.

* rts: add Emacs 'Local Variables' to every .c fileAustin Seipp2014-07-281-0/+8
| | | | | | | | This will hopefully help ensure some basic consistency in the forward by overriding buffer variables. In particular, it sets the wrap length, the offset to 4, and turns off tabs. Signed-off-by: Austin Seipp <austin@well-typed.com>
* Time handling overhaulSimon Marlow2011-11-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Terminology cleanup: the type "Ticks" has been renamed "Time", which is an StgWord64 in units of TIME_RESOLUTION (currently nanoseconds). The terminology "tick" is now used consistently to mean the interval between timer signals. The ticker now always ticks in realtime (actually CLOCK_MONOTONIC if we have it). Before it used CPU time in the non-threaded RTS and realtime in the threaded RTS, but I've discovered that the CPU timer has terrible resolution (at least on Linux) and isn't much use for profiling. So now we always use realtime. This should also fix The default tick interval is now 10ms, except when profiling where we drop it to 1ms. This gives more accurate profiles without affecting runtime too much (<1%). Lots of cleanups - the resolution of Time is now in one place only (Rts.h) rather than having calculations that depend on the resolution scattered all over the RTS. I hope I found them all.

* Declare RTS-private prototypes with __attribute__((visibility("hidden")))Simon Marlow2009-08-051-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | This has no effect with static libraries, but when the RTS is in a shared library it does two things: - it prevents the function from being exposed by the shared library - internal calls to the function can use the faster non-PLT calls, because the function cannot be overriden at link time.
* FIX #1623: disable the timer signal when the system is idle (threaded RTS only)Simon Marlow2007-09-031-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | Having a timer signal go off regularly is bad for power consumption, and generally bad practice anyway (it means the app cannot be completely swapped out, for example). Fortunately the threaded RTS already had a way to detect when the system was idle, so that it can trigger a GC and thereby find deadlocks. After performing the GC, we now turn off timer signals, and re-enable them again just before running any Haskell code.
* Use timer_create() for the interval timer, if availableSimon Marlow2007-03-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | This lets the threaded RTS use SIGVTALRM rather than SIGALRM for its interval timer signal, so the threaded and non-threaded RTS are compatible. It unfortunately doesn't completely fix #850/#1156, for that we really have to use a restartable sleep instead of usleep(). Also I cleaned up the timer API a little: instead of returning an error value that ultimately gets ignored, we now report errors from system calls and exit.
* Reorganisation of the source treeSimon Marlow2006-04-071-0/+15
Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree without losing history, so here goes. The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system. No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions. Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
