This package provides various primitive memory-related operations.
Changes
Changes in version 0.6
Split PrimMonad into two classes to allow automatic lifting of primitive
operations into monad transformers. The internal operation has moved to the
PrimBase class.
Fixed the test suite on older GHCs
Changes in version 0.5.4.0
Changed primitive_ to work around an oddity with GHC’s code generation
on certain versions that led to side effects not happening when used
in conjunction with certain very unsafe IO performers.
Allow primitive to build on GHC 7.9
Changes in version 0.5.3.0
Implement cloneArray and cloneMutableArray primitives
(with fall-back implementations for GHCs prior to version 7.2.1)
Changes in version 0.5.2.1
Add strict variants of MutVar modification functions
atomicModifyMutVar' and modifyMutVar'
Fix compilation on Solaris 10 with GNU C 3.4.3
Changes in version 0.5.1.0
Add support for GHC 7.7’s new primitive Bool representation
Changes in version 0.5.0.1
Disable array copying primitives for GHC 7.6.* and earlier
Changes in version 0.5
New in Data.Primitive.MutVar: atomicModifyMutVar
Efficient block fill operations: setByteArray, setAddr
Changes in version 0.4.1
New module Data.Primitive.MutVar
Changes in version 0.4.0.1
Critical bug fix in fillByteArray
Changes in version 0.4
Support for GHC 7.2 array copying primitives
New in Data.Primitive.ByteArray: copyByteArray,
copyMutableByteArray, moveByteArray, fillByteArray
Deprecated in Data.Primitive.ByteArray: memcpyByteArray,
