2 Known bugs/issues in nativeGen, 000228 (JRS)
3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5 -- absC -> stix translation for GET_TAG and in fact anything
6 to do with the packed-halfword layout info itbl field is
7 pretty dubious. I think I have it fixed for big and little
8 endian 32-bit, but it won't work at all on a 64 bit platform.
10 -- There may or may not be bugs in some of the x86 insn selector
11 code in MachCode.lhs. I have checked all of it against the
12 Rules of the Game (+ Rules of the game for Amodes) recorded in
13 that file, but am not 100% convinced that it is all correct.
14 I think most of it is, tho.
16 -- It won't compile on Solaris or Alphas because the insn selectors
19 -- NCG introduces a massive space leak; I think it generates all the
20 assembly code before printing any of it out (a depressingly
21 familiar story ...). Fixing this will await a working heap profiler.
