Data in a compact region is not traversed during GC; any -- incoming pointer to a compact region keeps the entire region -- live. Thus, if you put a long-lived data structure in a compact -- region, you may save a lot of cycles during major collections, -- since you will no longer be (uselessly) retraversing this -- data structure. -- -- 2. Because the data is stored contiguously, you can easily -- dump the memory to disk and/or send it over the network. -- For applications that are not bandwidth bound (GHC's heap -- representation can be as much of a x4 expansion over a -- binary serialization), this can lead to substantial speedups. -- -- For example, suppose you have a function @loadBigStruct :: IO BigStruct@, -- which loads a large data structure from the file system. You can "compact" -- the structure with the following code: -- -- @ -- do r <- 'compact' =<< loadBigStruct -- let x = 'getCompact' r :: BigStruct -- -- Do things with x -- @ -- -- Note that 'compact' will not preserve internal sharing; use -- 'compactWithSharing' (which is 10x slower) if you have cycles and/or -- must preserve sharing. The 'Compact' pointer @r@ can be used -- to add more data to a compact region; see 'compactAdd' or -- 'compactAddWithSharing'. -- -- The implementation of compact regions is described by: -- -- * Edward Z.

However, -- because 'compact' does not stop-the-world, retaining internal sharing during -- the compaction process is very costly. The user can choose whether to -- 'compact' or 'compactWithSharing'. -- -- When you have a @'Compact' a@, you can get a pointer to the actual object -- in the region using 'getCompact'. The 'Compact' type -- serves as handle on the region itself; you can use this handle -- to add data to a specific 'Compact' with 'compactAdd' or -- 'compactAddWithSharing' (giving you a new handle which corresponds -- to the same compact region, but points to the newly added object -- in the region). At the moment, due to technical reasons, -- it's not possible to get the @'Compact' a@ if you only have an @a@, -- so make sure you hold on to the handle as necessary. -- -- Data in a compact doesn't ever move, so compacting data is also a -- way to pin arbitrary data structures in memory. -- -- There are some limitations on what can be compacted: -- -- * Functions. Compaction only applies to data. -- -- * Pinned 'ByteArray#' objects cannot be compacted. This is for a -- good reason: the memory is pinned so that it can be referenced by -- address (the address might be stored in a C data structure, for -- example), so we can't make a copy of it to store in the 'Compact'. -- -- * Objects with mutable pointer fields (e.g. 'Data.IORef.IORef', -- 'GHC.Array.MutableArray') also cannot be compacted, because subsequent -- mutation would destroy the property that a compact is self-contained. -- -- If compaction encounters any of the above, a 'Control.Exception.CompactionFailed' -- exception will be thrown by the compaction operation. -- data Compact a = Compact Compact# a !(MVar ()) -- we can *read* from a Compact without taking a lock, but only -- one thread can be writing to the compact at any given time. -- The MVar here is to enforce mutual exclusion among writers. -- Note: the MVar protects the Compact# only, not the pure value 'a' -- | Make a new 'Compact' object, given a pointer to the true -- underlying region.
