Marge Bot pushed to branch wip/marge_bot_batch_merge_job at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 987e5532 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2026-07-07T22:27:01-04:00 ttg: Using ShortText over FastString in the AST To make the AST independent of GHC, this commit replaces usages of `FastString` with `HText` in the AST, killing the last edge from Language.Haskell.* to GHC.* modules. Even though we /do/ want to use FastStrings in general -- critically in Names or Ids -- there is no particular reason for the FastStrings that occur in the AST proper to be FastStrings. Strings in the AST are typically unique and don't benefit particularly from being interned FastStrings with Uniques for fast comparison. `HText` is a type synonym for `ShortText` which uses GHC's Modified UTF-8 encoding exclusively. Modified UTF-8 must be used to represent the Haskell AST because the Haskell Report allows surrogate code points. `Data.Text.Text` functions use Standard UTF-8 which replace surrogates with a placeholder value, thus `Data.Text.Text` is unsuitable for AST strings. See the `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Text` module header for more details.

This item could be checked immediately after sending the merge request though. If reviewers ask for amends later on, and the author amends the merge request, there was no item that would remind the contributors to squash the fixup commits before landing. This commit adds a new item After all approvals and before landing: all fixup commits are squashed with their originating commits. which should be harder to mark as done before approvals have been given. - - - - - 107 changed files: - .gitlab/merge_request_templates/Default.md - + changelog.d/T21628 - compiler/GHC/Builtin/Types/Prim.hs - compiler/GHC/Builtin/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Cmm/CLabel.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCo/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCo/Rep.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCon.hs - compiler/GHC/Data/FastString.hs - compiler/GHC/Data/StringBuffer.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Errors/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Session.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Decls.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Dump.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Expr.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Lit.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Type.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Errors/Types.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Expr.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Foreign/C.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Foreign/JavaScript.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Foreign/Wasm.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Match.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Match/Literal.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Pmc/Desugar.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Pmc/Solver/Types.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Quote.hs - compiler/GHC/Iface/Syntax.hs - compiler/GHC/Parser.y - compiler/GHC/Parser/Errors/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/Parser/HaddockLex.x - compiler/GHC/Parser/Lexer.x - compiler/GHC/Parser/PostProcess.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Bind.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Env.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/HsType.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Module.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Splice.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/StgToByteCode.hs - compiler/GHC/StgToCmm/Foreign.hs - compiler/GHC/StgToCmm/Prim.hs - compiler/GHC/StgToJS/FFI.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Deriv/Generate.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Deriv/Generics.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Bind.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Expr.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/HsType.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Pat.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Sig.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Splice.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Instance/Class.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Dict.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/TyCl.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/TyCl/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/Origin.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Validity.hs - compiler/GHC/ThToHs.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Basic.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Error.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/FieldLabel.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/ForeignCall.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Literal.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/Module/Warnings.hs - compiler/GHC/Utils/Binary.hs - compiler/GHC/Utils/Outputable.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Basic.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Decls.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Decls/Foreign.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Expr.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Lit.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Module/Name.hs - + compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Text.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Type.hs - compiler/ghc.cabal.in - libraries/ghc-boot/GHC/Data/ShortText.hs - testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/T25177.stderr - testsuite/tests/count-deps/CountDepsAst.stdout - testsuite/tests/count-deps/CountDepsParser.stdout - testsuite/tests/ghc-api/annotations-literals/parsed.hs - testsuite/tests/numeric/should_compile/T15547.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/DumpParsedAst.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/DumpParsedAstComments.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/DumpRenamedAst.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/DumpTypecheckedAst.stderr - + testsuite/tests/parser/should_run/StringStartsWithNull.hs - + testsuite/tests/parser/should_run/StringStartsWithNull.stdout - testsuite/tests/parser/should_run/all.T - testsuite/tests/perf/compiler/hard_hole_fits.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/DataToTagFamilyScrut.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T14978.stdout - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T18013.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T24229a.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T24229b.stderr - utils/check-exact/ExactPrint.hs - utils/check-exact/check-exact.cabal - utils/haddock/haddock-api/haddock-api.cabal - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Backends/Hyperlinker/Parser.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/Interface/Create.hs The diff was not included because it is too large.
