MLton runs fine on the IA64 architecture. <h2 id="head-70440046a3dc2e079f23ee1c57dfa76669b732aa">Notes</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
When compiling for IA64, MLton targets the 64-bit ABI.
</p>
</li>
<li class="gap">
<p>
When compiling for IA64, MLton doesn't support native code generation (<tt>-codegen native</tt>). Hence, performance is not as good as it might be and compile times are longer. Also, the quality of code generated by <tt>gcc</tt> is important. By default, MLton calls <tt>gcc -O1</tt>. You can change this by calling MLton with <tt>-cc-opt -O2</tt>.
</p>
</li>
<li class="gap">
<p>
When compiling for IA64, MLton uses <tt>-align 8</tt> by default.
</p>
</li>
<li class="gap">
<p>
On the IA64, the <a href="GnuMP">GnuMP</a> library supports multiple ABIs. See the <a href="GnuMP">GnuMP</a> page for more details.
