Sven Tennie pushed to branch wip/romes/hadrian-cross-stage2-rebase_SVEN_FINAL at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 2f3cc9ff by Simon Jakobi at 2026-06-08T07:55:49-04:00 testsuite: detect fast bignum via ghc-internal, not removed ghc-bignum The ghc-bignum package was merged into ghc-internal, so the BIGNUM_GMP probe in test.mk ran `ghc-pkg field ghc-bignum exposed-modules`, which fails with "cannot find package ghc-bignum". That error went to stderr and leaked into the captured stderr of every makefile_test, causing spurious [bad stderr] failures across the suite. The probe also silently returned empty, so config.have_fast_bignum was wrongly False even on GMP builds. Probe ghc-internal's extra-libraries for the gmp library instead: the GMP backend module is an other-module (not exposed), but GMP_LIBS adds gmp to extra-libraries only on a GMP build, so this distinguishes the backends. Redirect stderr to keep any future missing-package error off the harness's stderr. This also removes a stale comment as per suggestion from hsyl20.

With the new condition based on command line lenght, reponse files can be avoided in many more cases (on windows). Now that response files are only used in a small number of cases, response files are always kept and the -r / --keep-response-files command line options have been removed The response file paths are nolonger randomized. They are placed in the `_build/rsp` directory. This ensures they are ignored by git and we that Hadrian reuses response file paths when rebuilding rather than leaving stale response files around.

There is still more work to be done (see for example, word size is still fixed). - - - - - b2c99f83 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-06-10T06:19:52+02:00 hadrian: Disable docs when cross compiling Before there were a variety of ad-hoc places where doc building was disabled when cross compiling. * Some CI jobs sets --docs=none in gen_ci.hs * Some CI jobs set --docs=none in .gitlab/ci.sh * There was some logic in hadrian to not need the ["docs"] target when making a bindist. Now the situation is simple: * If you are cross compiling then defaultDocsTargets is empty by default. In theory, there is no reason why we can't build documentation for cross compiler bindists, but this is left to future work to generalise the documentation building rules to allow this (#24289) - - - - - 4e6a75dc by Matthew Pickering at 2026-06-10T06:36:33+02:00 hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers * Most of hadrian is abstracted over the stage in order to remove the assumption that the target of all stages is the same platform. This allows the RTS to be built for two different targets for example. * Abstracts the bindist creation logic to allow building either normal or cross bindists. Normal bindists use stage 1 libraries and a stage 2 compiler. Cross bindists use stage 2 libararies and a stage 2 compiler. * 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 New hadrian target: * `binary-dist-dir-cross`: Build a cross compiler bindist (compiler = stage 1, libraries = stage 2) This commit also contains various changes to make stage2 compilers feasible. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: LinkableUsage02 ManyAlternatives ManyConstructors MultiComponentModulesRecomp MultiLayerModulesRecomp RecordUpdPerf T10421 T12150 T12227 T12425 T12707 T13035 T13379 T13820 T15703 T16577 T18140 T18282 T18698a T18698b T18923 T1969 T20049 T21839c T3294 T4801 T5030 T5321FD T5321Fun T5631 T5642 T6048 T783 T9020 T9198 T9233 T9630 T9872d T9961 parsing001 Metric Increase: T26989 hard_hole_fits ------------------------- Co-authored-by: Sven Tennie - - - - - 7c7d8a25 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-06-10T06:36:33+02:00 ci: Test cross bindists We remove the special logic for testing in-tree cross compilers and instead test cross compiler bindists, like we do for all other platforms. - - - - - 374b8625 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-06-10T06:36:33+02:00 ci: Introduce CROSS_STAGE variable In preparation for building and testing stage3 bindists we introduce the CROSS_STAGE variable which is used by a CI job to determine what kind of bindist the CI job should produce. At the moment we are only using CROSS_STAGE=2 but in the future we will have some jobs which set CROSS_STAGE=3 to produce native bindists for a target, but produced by a cross compiler, which can be tested on by another CI job on the native platform.
