Marge Bot pushed to branch wip/marge_bot_batch_merge_job at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 700a1dd1 by Simon Jakobi at 2026-07-23T11:21:20-04:00 ci: Reduce lint job setup costs Avoid fetching unnecessary history and submodules for lightweight lint jobs. Run changelog validation without Hadrian. Because the lint-author job is now based on the .lint template directly, we enhance it to allow Git to read from the runner-owned checkouts, In the previously used .lint-params template, this permissions issue was addressed via `chown`. Closes #27521. Assisted-by: gpt-5.6-sol via Codex CLI - - - - - 26a44fb0 by ARATA Mizuki at 2026-07-23T11:22:10-04:00 testsuite: Fix memory issues of doublex2_* and simd010 doublex2_* had reads from uninitialized memory. simd010 had out-of-bounds array access. Fixes #27544 - - - - - ed0f8fa7 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:56-04:00 Eliminate STM_AWOKEN It was used as nullary closure for the block_info.closure in the case of a thread being awoken after an STM transaction. However, while it was written, it was never read, so contributed nothing to the behaviour. Furthermore, in the only place it was set (in tryWakeupThread) the why_blocked was immediately overwritten by the NotBlocked status, and the block_info was updated accordingly (by appendToRunQueue). So it didn't even serve a purpose of clarifying an intermediate state, there really was no such intermediate state. Cleaning this up will allow the BlockedOnSTM case to follow the same pattern as the other why_blocked cases that do not use the block_info, and in turn this reduces the number of different categories. - - - - - 20eba235 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:56-04:00 Document that eventlog thread stop code ThreadBlocked is no longer used It has not been used since GHC 7.0.x (2011). In 7.2 all the BlockedOn* codes were added, and these were and are used instead of ThreadBlocked. - - - - - 00978e33 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Add a proper mapping to eventlog external thread stop status That is the mapping from rts-internal codes, to the coes used in the status field in the eventlog EVENT_STOP_THREAD event. See issue #9003 for what goes wrong when we mess this up. In that ticket, people note that we should really not require the internal tso->why_blocked codes to leak into the external eventlog thread stop codes. The same principle applies to the StgThreadReturnCode. This change properly separates them, and explicitly maps between them using a pair of (compact, constant) tables. These tables are pretty small (with no alignment constraints) and will soon shrink so it seems a sensible tradeoff. We also introduce and use proper EVENT_STOP_THREAD constants in the event log format header. Previously there was not specification in the code for these (only in the docs): the values were encoded into the conversion code. This will allow us to renumber the internal why_blockd codes without breaking the eventlog output. - - - - - f6d46836 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Remove unused tso->block_info.wakeup member Presumably it was used once, but not now. - - - - - 4d0c86c5 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Document StgTSOBlockInfo to say what cases use what members In principle, tso->why_blocked is the tag for the StgTSOBlockInfo union, so we should be able to say for each union member the why_blocked cases that use that member. - - - - - d80e5360 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Add a tso->block_info.mvar member and use it in preference to the generic block_info.closure union member, with casts. The plan is that when we know what case we're in (via tso->why_blocked) then we can always access the correct union member, and so we will only need to access block_info.closure for generic cases where we don't know or don't care. - - - - - 860edfa4 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Add a tso->block_info.unused member and use it in preference to the generic block_info.closure union member, with casts. The plan is that when we know what case we're in (via tso->why_blocked) then we can always access the correct union member, and so we will only need to access block_info.closure for generic cases where we don't know or don't care. - - - - - ddb7eb9d by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Avoid storing to tso->block_info.closure In one case we can use a specific union member (.prev) instead. In several cases the stores were in fact redundant because of subsequent overwrites. In scavengeTSO we replace setting tso->block_info.closure to a valid closure, with an assertion that the block_info.unused is already set to END_TSO_QUEUE which is a valid (static) closure. - - - - - eb3a6b83 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Renumber the tso->why_blocked constants We can do this now because we have separated the internal values from the external ones used in the eventlog. This lets us put them back into a deliberate order and consolodate some gaps. More importantly, it is a prepation for a slightly more sophisticated encoding. - - - - - 2542cdc2 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Define constants for the existing stg_threadStatuszh return codes The stg_threadStatuszh reuses the internal tso->why_blocked codes but also extends them with a couple previously magic values. This is awkward since we need to know what those magic values are so we don't accidentally use those values to mean something else. By pulling a definition up to where the why_blocked codes are defined we will be able to avoid mistakenly assining those codes some meaning (or just changing the BlockedThreadComplete, BlockedThreadKilled code if necessary). - - - - - c9249167 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Extend the tso->why_blocked encoding to indicate block_info closures We use some bit tricks to cheaply and generically test if a tso->why_blocked tag implies that the corresponding tso->block_info will contain a non-trivial valid closure (i.e. not just block_info.unused set to END_TSO_QUEUE). In particular we arrange for most why_blocked values to naturally have a distinguishing bit, but for the BlockedOn{Read,Write,Delay} cases, they can come in either non-closure or closure forms. We allow an additional bit to distinguish these cases. The non-closure forms are only from legacy I/O managers: select and win32-legacy. So this extra bit mechanism will be able to be retired once the legacy I/O managers are themselves retired. This means in a few places we need to untag the why_blocked value before inspecting it, but in most places we do not. - - - - - da029fc4 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Use BlockInfoForceNonClosure in the select I/O manager - - - - - 45fedeb2 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Use BlockInfoForceNonClosure in the win32-legacy I/O manager for the BlockedOn{Read,Write} since these use the non-heap allocated StgAsyncIOResult. - - - - - 97c83d7b by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Enforce the why_blocked and block_info rules in checkTSO We now check the cases wher IsBlockInfoClosure should hold, the cases that are supposed to use block_info.unused == END_TSO_QUEUE, and which cases are allowed to use BlockInfoForceNonClosure. This partially enforces the use of why_blocked as a tag for the block_info union. We could be stricter and check for the correct expected info table for the closure cases. - - - - - 4fc9f4fe by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Use IsBlockInfoClosure to simplify several tests In GC and generic traversal we need to know if we should look at the block_info.closure or not. Now we can do just that using a cheap bit test on the why_blocked tag. This fixes issue 26717, where the problem was that some GC modes did not know when to look at block_info.closure, because the poll I/O manager uses a closure for BlockedOn{Read,Write} while the select I/O manager uses a non-closure. Now this information is in the why_blocked tag itself. - - - - - 151ec59e by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Remove the now-unused scavengeTSOIOManager The GC no longer has to delegate to the I/O manager, since it can use IsBlockInfoClosure to decide things itself. - - - - - bf4bf1df by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Remove duplicate assertion - - - - - 57fea759 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Follow atomic access rules more consistently for tso->why_blocked The rule is this: store block_info *before* why_blocked store why_blocked using store release load why_blocked using load acquire load block_info *after* why_blocked This is a an atomic store release / load acquire pair and (if the reads are in a separate thread to the writes, and the read receives the value stored) then this guarantees a full "happens before" relationship of these stores and loads. In some cases, we do not need a full load acquire, because we don't read the block_info at all and so do not need any ordering. In this case we just need an atomic relaxed load. This was being followed in most places, but not all. If there's good reason in any case that we don't need atomic access, then we should document that in a comment. In the absence of that I think it's easier to follow the rule everywhere. - - - - - 67dca140 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-23T13:25:57-04:00 Add a changelog entry - - - - - e634fd2a by Alan Zimmerman at 2026-07-23T13:25:58-04:00 EPA: Keep decls together in ClassDecl Similar to 1718230f4d3d19d8c49c0e5d496cb0fb6f399528 for HsValBindsLR, this commit updates ClassDecl so that it no longer splits out the assorted `LHsDecl GhcPs` until the renamer. It does this by inserting a type family (separate from the classic TTG one) for this. So data TyClDecl ... | ClassDecl { ... tcdDecls :: XClassDecls pass with type instance XClassDecls GhcPs = [LHsDecl GhcPs] type instance XClassDecls GhcRn = ClassDeclX GhcRn type instance XClassDecls GhcTc = ClassDeclX GhcTc data ClassDeclX pass = ClassDeclX { tcdSigs :: [LSig pass], -- ^ Methods' signatures tcdMeths :: LHsBinds pass, -- ^ Default methods tcdATs :: [LFamilyDecl pass], -- ^ Associated types; tcdATDefs :: [LTyFamDefltDecl pass], -- ^ Associated type defaults tcdDocs :: [LDocDecl pass] -- ^ Haddock docs } - - - - - 73 changed files: - .gitlab-ci.yml - .gitlab/ci.sh - + changelog.d/T26716 - compiler/GHC/Hs/Decls.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Instances.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Stats.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Docs.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Quote.hs - compiler/GHC/Iface/Ext/Ast.hs - compiler/GHC/Parser/PostProcess.hs - compiler/GHC/Parser/PostProcess/Haddock.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Module.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/TyCl.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/TyCl/Class.hs - compiler/GHC/ThToHs.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Binds.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Decls.hs - docs/users_guide/eventlog-formats.rst - hadrian/src/Rules/Test.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/FFIClosures_ProfilingDisabled.hsc - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/FFIClosures_ProfilingEnabled.hsc - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Conc/Sync.hs - rts/IOManager.c - rts/IOManager.h - rts/Messages.c - rts/PrimOps.cmm - rts/RaiseAsync.c - rts/RaiseAsync.h - rts/STM.c - rts/Schedule.c - rts/StgMiscClosures.cmm - rts/Threads.c - rts/Trace.c - rts/Trace.h - rts/TraverseHeap.c - rts/include/Cmm.h - rts/include/rts/Constants.h - rts/include/rts/EventLogFormat.h - rts/include/rts/storage/TSO.h - rts/include/stg/MiscClosures.h - rts/posix/Poll.c - rts/posix/Select.c - rts/posix/Timeout.c - rts/sm/Compact.c - rts/sm/NonMovingMark.c - rts/sm/Sanity.c - rts/sm/Scav.c - rts/win32/AsyncMIO.c - testsuite/tests/haddock/haddock_examples/haddock.Test.stderr - testsuite/tests/haddock/should_compile_flag_haddock/T17544.stderr - testsuite/tests/haddock/should_compile_flag_haddock/T17544_kw.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/DumpRenamedAst.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/DumpSemis.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/T20452.stderr - testsuite/tests/printer/Test24533.stdout - testsuite/tests/simd/should_run/doublex2_arith.hs - testsuite/tests/simd/should_run/doublex2_arith.stdout - testsuite/tests/simd/should_run/doublex2_arith_baseline.hs - testsuite/tests/simd/should_run/doublex2_arith_baseline.stdout - testsuite/tests/simd/should_run/doublex2_fma.hs - testsuite/tests/simd/should_run/doublex2_fma.stdout - testsuite/tests/simd/should_run/simd010.hs - utils/check-exact/ExactPrint.hs - utils/check-exact/Utils.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Backends/Hoogle.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Backends/LaTeX.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Backends/Xhtml/Decl.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Convert.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/GhcUtils.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Interface/Create.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Interface/Rename.hs - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Types.hs The diff was not included because it is too large.

by Wolfgang Jeltsch (＠jeltsch) 23 Jul '26

23 Jul '26

Wolfgang Jeltsch pushed to branch wip/jeltsch/ghc-9-14-building-base at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 2ecabb4f by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:23:25-04:00 hadrian: binary-dist-dir should not be the default target Revert behaviour to pre 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2 In 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2, we applied the following behaviour change: ``` hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers ... * hadrian: Make binary-dist-dir the default build target. This allows us to have the logic in one place about which libraries/stages to build with cross compilers. Fixes #24192 ``` This is a major regression to development experience, a plain hadrian/build --freeze1 now takes ages because we rebuild all docs (which need to go in the binary dist dir). `binary-dist-dir` is the wrong default target for regular GHC development work Fixes #27445 - - - - - e16388e3 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:23:25-04:00 .gitignore: Add the hadrian system.config introduced by commit 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2 Since commit 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2 Author: Matthew Pickering <matthewtpickering(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu Dec 21 16:17:41 2023 +0000 hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers ./configure produces /hadrian/cfg/system.config.{host,target} Add these to .gitignore - - - - - 7e8abf41 by Alan Zimmerman at 2026-07-09T09:24:12-04:00 EPA: Replace AnnListItem with simply [TrailingAnn] Remove the unnecessary wrapper around a single field. - - - - - 29032f17 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:24:58-04:00 testsuite: Keep real reason for fragile test failures - - - - - c34e03a7 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:24:58-04:00 testsuite: Fall back to the failure reason for empty JUnit bodies - - - - - 409d40f0 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:24:58-04:00 testsuite: Show output diffs in JUnit output Also refactor compare_outputs to return essentially a `Maybe Diff` (`CompareOutput`) instead of a bool, but more pythonic.

Fixes #27480. Not building/linking shared libraries for hadrian is a severely premature optimization; this top-level setting in `cabal.project` only affects home packages while the dependencies in the cabal store are built with vanilla/dynamic anyway, and even adding dynamic builds to home packages would not be costly due to cabal's usage of `-dynamic-too`. - - - - - eee8ec5b by Cheng Shao at 2026-07-14T18:00:20-04:00 compiler: fix miscompiled %load_relaxed, add missing %store_relaxed This patch fixes the %load_relaxed cmm primop compilation logic to correctly use relaxed memory ordering, and adds the missing %store_relaxed primop. Parsing logic of %load/%store with explicit ordering is covered in the AtomicFetch test case. Fixes #27483.

This simplifies exact print processing, especially when using it to update the contents of local binds, as we no longer need AnnSortKey BindTag - - - - - 6bd1ad2a by Andreas Klebinger at 2026-07-14T18:01:49-04:00 Bump nofib submodule to account for MonoLocalBinds. New versions of GHC enable MonoLocalBinds by default. This breaks some of the benchmarks. I've fixed this and this bump pulls in that fix. - - - - - 7eb0f1c9 by Cheng Shao at 2026-07-14T18:02:31-04:00 testsuite: fix bytecodeIPE test under +ipe flavours This patch fixes the bytecodeIPE test under +ipe flavours. It used to fail under +ipe because the RTS is built with IPE info, then stg_AP_info in RTS carries IPE info, so whereFrom wouldn't return Nothing. Now the test checks IPE info of a datacon in the ghci-loaded module which is not affected by whether the RTS is built with IPE info or not. Fixes #27498.

UNTAG is a no-op when it's stg_TREC_HEADER_info which is word aligned; it may be a tagged closure, and reading info table from the tagged address is an unaligned load which may cause issues on platforms with strict alignment requirements.

In case it's not NULL, captureContinuationAndAbort returns a tagged StgContinuation closure, in which case it must be untagged before accessing the apply_mask_frame field. In the past it worked out of luck: when apply_mask_frame was NULL then mask_frame_offset is also 0 so the control flow didn't diverge to a wrong path. Still, this is horribly wrong and will crash once StgContinuation struct is refactored and fields are shuffled around.

Now, we use `stgToCmmUseStdApThunk` to indicate whether precomputed AP thunks in the RTS should be used, which defaults to `True`, unless `-ticky-ap-thunk` is passed. `-finfo-table-map` now also implies `-ticky-ap-thunk`, since when doing IPE profiling we want the generated AP thunks to be unique. Fixes #27502. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T3064 ------------------------- Co-authored-by: Codex <codex(a)openai.com> - - - - - d43a7b7a by Brian McKenna at 2026-07-15T20:10:04+02:00 Strip ticks when desugaring bool guards The special `considerAccessible` pattern was broken when compiling with debug info. Compiling with debug info wraps expressions with `SourceNote` ticks, which broke the internals of the `desugarBoolGuard` function. Ticks are now ignored within this function. Fixes #27360 - - - - - ede4b17b by Ben Gamari at 2026-07-15T22:59:53-04:00 base: Display ExceptionContext in WhileHandling's textual description As originally-implemented the implementation for `WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` would display the `ExceptionContext` of the exception which it carries (as this was the behavior of `displayException`, in terms of which `displayExceptionAnnotation` was implemented). However, in 284ffab3 the definition of `SomeException(displayException)` was changed to exclude the `ExceptionContext`. This means that `WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` fails to describe the provenance of the exception which it captures, greatly limiting its utility. Return the implementation to its originally-specified behavior by implementing `WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` in terms of `displayExceptionWithInfo`. Fixes #27456. - - - - - 0f64f348 by Cheng Shao at 2026-07-16T15:41:08+00:00 ci: add missing docker permission workaround in abi-test job - - - - - 660cb239 by Cheng Shao at 2026-07-16T19:37:48+00:00 bindist: Fix make install -j race condition on macos/freebsd This patch fixes make install -j race condition on macos/freebsd. BSD install fails with EEXIST when multiple install processes concurrently create the same prefix directory. So we add an `install_dirs` prerequisite job that sequentially creates the directories for subsequent jobs to work with. Fixes #27499. Co-authored-by: Codex <codex(a)openai.com> - - - - - 08130257 by Cheng Shao at 2026-07-16T19:37:48+00:00 ci: run bindist make install with -j This patch makes the ci scripts run `make install` with `-j` to reduce wall clock time when installing the bindist, see related issue for benchmark numbers. This only affects ghc ci logic, the user-facing default is up to distributors and is still `-j1`. Closes #27029. - - - - - d5ae6906 by Adam Gundry at 2026-07-17T04:57:43-04:00 Mark various language extension flags as deprecated (see #27329) The following language extensions are now deprecated: - AlternativeLayoutRule - AlternativeLayoutRuleTransitional - ParallelArrays - PolymorphicComponents - Rank2Types In addition, the warning `-Walternative-layout-rule-transitional` has been marked as deprecated, as it is emitted only under the deprecated extension `XAlternativeLayoutRuleTransitional`. - - - - - fe3b059c by Andrew Lelechenko at 2026-07-17T04:58:26-04:00 base: re-export GHC.Environment.getFullArgs from System.Environment CLC proposal https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/431 - - - - - 722236dd by sheaf at 2026-07-18T08:48:31-04:00 Coercion optimisation: avoid double-Sym for InstCo Ticket #27374 pointed out an issue with GHC.Core.Coercion.Opt.optCoercion's handling of InstCo: it contravened (LC2) in Note [The LiftingContext in optCoercion] because it applied the ambient 'sym' to a coercion that was then added to the lifting context substitution.

To avoid this, this commit provides a way to push in 'Sym' of an already-optimised coercion: GHC.Core.Coercion.Opt.mkDeepSymCo. See Note [Pushing Sym without re-optimising] in GHC.Core.Coercion.Opt. - - - - - dfef27f0 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-18T08:49:12-04:00 Move THREADED_RTS-conditional struct members to end of Capability Accessing members of the Capability struct from CMM code rely on accessor macros. (The macros are generated by deriveConstants). These macros have a single definition. This means that the offsets of all struct members must *not* vary based on THREADED_RTS vs !THREADED_RTS. This requires that any struct members that are conditional on THREADED_RTS must occur after the unconditional struct members. Hence we move all the ones that are conditional on THREADED_RTS to the end. Add a deriveConstants entry for the iomgr member of the Capability struct, which was the motivation for this change. Add warning messages to help our future selves. Debugging this took me a couple hours in gdb! - - - - - c254e022 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-18T08:49:12-04:00 Make the IOManager API use CapIOManager rather than Capability This makes the API somewhat more self-contained and more consistent. Now the IOManager API and each of the backends takes just the I/O manager structure. Previously we had a bit of a mixture, depending on whether the function needed access to the Capability or just the CapIOManager. We still need access to the cap, so we introduce a back reference to reach the capability, via iomgr->cap. Convert all uses in select and poll backends, but not win32 ones. Convert callers in the scheduler and elsewhere. Also convert the three CMM primops that call IOManager APIs. They just need to use Capability_iomgr(MyCapability()). - - - - - 4f3d8f31 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-18T08:49:12-04:00 Split posix/MIO.c out of posix/Signals.c The MIO I/O manager was secretly living inside the Signals file.

The select and win32 legacy I/O managers did not maintain any dynamically allocated resources. The new poll one does (an auxillary table), and so this should be freed. After forkProcess, all threads get deleted. This includes threads waiting on I/O or timers. So as of this patch, resetting the I/O manager is just about tidying things up. For example, for the poll I/O manager this will reset the size of the AIOP table (which otherwise grows but never shrinks). In future however the re-initialising will become neeecessary for functionality, since some I/O managers will need to re-initialise wakeup fds that are set CLOEXEC. - - - - - c007d122 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-18T08:49:12-04:00 Add a TODO to the MIO I/O manager The direction of travel is to make I/O managers per-capability and have all their state live in the struct CapIOManager.

This includes the pipe/eventfd fd shared between the RTS and the in-library I/O manager used for waking up the I/O manager thread. The pipe/eventfd still exists, but it no longer has to be communicated to the RTS, since the RTS no longer needs to use it. So we remove the RTS API export setIOManagerWakeupFd, and remove uses of it within the I/O managers in ghc-internal. - - - - - 74fe7c66 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-18T08:49:12-04:00 Add a new interruptIOManager API for the I/O managers It will be used to interrupt awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO.

A quirk we have to cope with is that we now need to poll one more fd -- the wakeup_fd_r -- but this fd has no corresponding entry in the aiop_table. This is awkward since we have set up our aiop_poll_table to be an auxilliary table with matching indicies. The solution this patch uses (and described in the comments) is to have two tables: struct pollfd *aiop_poll_table, *full_poll_table; and to have the aiop_poll_table alias the tail of the full_poll_table. The head entry in the full_poll_table is the extra fd. So we poll the full_poll_table, while the aiop_poll_table still has matching indicies with the aiop_table. Hurrah for C aliasing rules. - - - - - cee50131 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-18T08:49:13-04:00 Add interruptIOManager support for win32 legacy I/O manager And remove unused related helper resetAbandonRequestWait.

That canonical form was tick-sensitive: two occurrences of an otherwise identical expression that happened to carry different ticks were treated as distinct values, breaking long-distance information. This shows up in practice under `-finfo-table-map`, because the desugarer wraps every record-selector use site in a `SourceNote` carrying that site's span. For example: data Box = Box { unBox :: Maybe Int } f b = case unBox b of Nothing -> 0 Just _ -> let Just x = unBox b in x The two `unBox b` expressionss carry different SourceNote spans, the pattern-match checker sees them as different, the long-distance information from the outer `Just _` branch never reaches the let-pattern, and `Just x = unBox b` is wrongly reported as non-exhaustive. We now strip all ticks in `makeDictsCoherent`. This is documented as Wrinkle (UD1) of Note [Unique dictionaries in the TmOracle CoreMap].

The orphan instance of data-types from within 'L.H.S' have had their orphan instances moved to either: 1. The module which defines the data-type 2.

[Git][ghc/ghc][wip/fendor/external-unit-db-cache] Introduce UnitIndex for global external unit caching
by Hannes Siebenhandl (＠fendor) 23 Jul '26

23 Jul '26

Hannes Siebenhandl pushed to branch wip/fendor/external-unit-db-cache at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: f58bb2fc by fendor at 2026-07-23T11:35:37+02:00 Introduce UnitIndex for global external unit caching `UnitInfo`s have been observed to cause a lot of memory usage in #27500. Especially with multiple home units, as the same (external) units are processed from scratch, even though most of the time we end up with exactly the same `UnitInfo`. We introduce a `UnitEnv` global cache that allows us to store external unit information that is used across all `HomeUnitEnv`s. The most important change in this commit is the introduction of the `UnitIndex`. It stores a global mapping of `UnitId` -> `UnitInfo`, and `initUnits` always uses the cached `UnitInfo` entry to populate each `HomeUnitEnv`'s `UnitState`. This allows us to ensure the following property: > Each `UnitInfo` should be alive exactly once in GHC. All `UnitState`s should reference 'UnitInfo's stored in the 'UnitIndex'. This ensured by calling 'initUnits' with the 'UnitIndex'. In addition, the `ExternalUnitDatabases` may also hold a reference to each on-disk representation of `UnitInfo`. This means, we impose an hard upper bound on the number of `UnitInfo`s alive in the GHC session: > The number of alive `UnitInfo`s closure objects must be the > sum of all loaded unit database times two. We add performance regression tests that make sure the number of live `UnitInfo` cannot exceed this threshold. Closes #27500 ------------------------- Metric Decrease: MultiComponentModules MultiComponentModulesRecomp MultiComponentModulesRecomp100 mhu-perf LinkableUsage02 ------------------------- These metrics increases are especially notable, as we are not even sharing anything big but merely the global package database with 50 entries. It shows how careful sharing of `UnitInfo` can improve memory usage. We expect this to be much more notable when the whole cabal package database is shared across multiple home units. `LinkableUsage02` metric decreases on unreg and i386 platform, only. --- Technical details To share the `UnitInfo`s correctly, it is important that we extract the `WireMap` into the `UnitIndex`. At the moment of writing, `WireMap` must be globally the same for all `HomeUnitEnv`s. This is important, as we could otherwise not cache the "fully-resolved" `UnitInfo`, as we don't change the `UnitId` or `unitAbiHash` when resolving wired-in units. Thus, there could be ambiguities, when the `WireMap` is not the same for all `UnitState`s across the `UnitEnv`. We consider a `UnitInfo` fully-resolved, if wired-in units have been updated, the `UnitInfo` has been validated and variables in the unit config, such as `${pkgroot}` have been resolved. Updating the wired-in units requires the `WireMap` to be globally the same. - - - - - 35 changed files: - + changelog.d/unit-index - compiler/GHC.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Backpack.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Env.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Main/Interactive.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Main/Passes.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Session/Units.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Unique.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/Env.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Database.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Index.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/ModuleOrigin.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Providers.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Query.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Substitution.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Validate.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Visibility.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Wired.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/Info.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/State.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/State.hs-boot - compiler/GHC/Unit/Types.hs - compiler/ghc.cabal.in - ghc/GHCi/UI.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Generate.hs - testsuite/tests/count-deps/CountDepsParser.stdout - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/Foo.hs - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/Makefile - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/all.T - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/genMhu.sh - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space-mhu.stdout - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space-single.stdout - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space.hs - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space.stdout - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock.hs The diff was not included because it is too large.

[Git][ghc/ghc][wip/fendor/external-unit-db-cache] Introduce UnitIndex for global external unit caching
by Hannes Siebenhandl (＠fendor) 23 Jul '26

23 Jul '26

Hannes Siebenhandl pushed to branch wip/fendor/external-unit-db-cache at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: d4b98286 by fendor at 2026-07-23T10:51:14+02:00 Introduce UnitIndex for global external unit caching `UnitInfo`s have been observed to cause a lot of memory usage in #27500. Especially with multiple home units, as the same (external) units are processed from scratch, even though most of the time we end up with exactly the same `UnitInfo`. We introduce a `UnitEnv` global cache that allows us to store external unit information that is used across all `HomeUnitEnv`s. The most important change in this commit is the introduction of the `UnitIndex`. It stores a global mapping of `UnitId` -> `UnitInfo`, and `initUnits` always uses the cached `UnitInfo` entry to populate each `HomeUnitEnv`'s `UnitState`. This allows us to ensure the following property: > Each `UnitInfo` should be alive exactly once in GHC. In addition, the `ExternalUnitDatabaseCache` may also hold a reference to each on-disk representation of `UnitInfo`. This means, we impose an hard upper bound on the number of `UnitInfo`s alive in the GHC session: > The number of alive `UnitInfo`s closure objects must be the > sum of all loaded unit database times two. We add performance regression tests that make sure the number of live `UnitInfo` cannot exceed this threshold. Closes #27500 ------------------------- Metric Decrease: MultiComponentModules MultiComponentModulesRecomp MultiComponentModulesRecomp100 mhu-perf LinkableUsage02 ------------------------- These metrics increases are especially notable, as we are not even sharing anything big but merely the global package database with 50 entries. It shows how careful sharing of `UnitInfo` can improve memory usage. We expect this to be much more notable when the whole cabal package database is shared across multiple home units. `LinkableUsage02` metric decreases on unreg and i386 platform, only. --- Technical details To share the `UnitInfo`s correctly, it is important that we extract the `WireMap` into the `UnitIndex`. At the moment of writing, `WireMap` must be globally the same for all `HomeUnitEnv`s. This is important, as we could otherwise not cache the "fully-resolved" `UnitInfo`. We consider a `UnitInfo` fully-resolved, if wired-in units have been updated, the `UnitInfo` has been validated and variables in the unit config, such as `${pkgroot}` have been resolved. Updating the wired-in units requires the `WireMap` to be globally the same. - - - - - 35 changed files: - + changelog.d/unit-index - compiler/GHC.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Backpack.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Env.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Main/Interactive.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Main/Passes.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Session/Units.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Unique.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/Env.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Database.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Index.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/ModuleOrigin.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Providers.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Query.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Substitution.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Validate.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Visibility.hs - + compiler/GHC/Unit/External/Wired.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/Info.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/State.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/State.hs-boot - compiler/GHC/Unit/Types.hs - compiler/ghc.cabal.in - ghc/GHCi/UI.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Generate.hs - testsuite/tests/count-deps/CountDepsParser.stdout - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/Foo.hs - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/Makefile - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/all.T - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/genMhu.sh - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space-mhu.stdout - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space-single.stdout - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space.hs - + testsuite/tests/driver/TUnitInfo/generic-unit-info-space.stdout - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock.hs The diff was not included because it is too large.
