Known bugs/issues in nativeGen, 000228 (JRS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- absC -> stix translation for GET_TAG and in fact anything
to do with the packed-halfword layout info itbl field is
pretty dubious. I think I have it fixed for big and little
endian 32-bit, but it won't work at all on a 64 bit platform.
-- There may or may not be bugs in some of the x86 insn selector
code in MachCode.lhs. I have checked all of it against the
Rules of the Game (+ Rules of the game for Amodes) recorded in
that file, but am not 100% convinced that it is all correct.
I think most of it is, tho.
-- It won't compile on Solaris or Alphas because the insn selectors
are not up-to-date.
-- NCG introduces a massive space leak; I think it generates all the
assembly code before printing any of it out (a depressingly
familiar story ...). Fixing this will await a working heap profiler.
