[Git][ghc/ghc][wip/andreask/linker_fix] 29 commits: refactor: Modify Data.List.sortOn to use (>) instead of compare. (#26184)

Andreas Klebinger pushed to branch wip/andreask/linker_fix at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 1f9e4f54 by Stephen Morgan at 2025-08-03T15:14:08+10:00 refactor: Modify Data.List.sortOn to use (>) instead of compare. (#26184) This lets a more efficient (>) operation be used if one exists. This is technically a breaking change for malformed Ord instances, where x > y is not equivalent to compare x y == GT.

Failing to do so results in hard to debug unique conflicts. It is difficult for API users to tell which unique tags are safe to use. So instead of leaving this up to the user to decide, we now export a version of `newNameCache` which uses a guaranteed non-reserved unique tag. In fact, this is now the way the unique tag is initialized for all invocations of the compiler. The original version of `newNameCache` is now exported as `newNameCache'` for advanced users. We also deprecate `initNameCache` as it is also prone to footguns and is completely subsumed in functionality by `newNameCache` and `newNameCache'`.

Towards #21766 - - - - - cab42666 by Matthew Pickering at 2025-08-07T12:22:42+01:00 ipe: Use stable IDs for IPE entries IPEs have historically been indexed and reported by their address. This makes it impossible to compare profiles between runs, since the addresses may change (due to ASLR) and also makes it tricky to separate out the IPE map from the binary. This small patch adds a stable identifier for each IPE entry. The stable identifier is a single 64 bit word. The high-bits are a per-module identifier and the low bits identify which entry in each module. 1. When a node is added into the IPE buffer it is assigned a unique identifier from an incrementing global counter. 2. Each entry already has an index by it's position in the `IpeBufferListNode`. The two are combined together by the `IPE_ENTRY_KEY` macro. Info table profiling uses the stable identifier rather than the address of the info table. The benefits of this change are: * Profiles from different runs can be easily compared * The metadata can be extracted from the binary (via the eventlog for example) and then stripped from the executable.

This behavior is undesireable in some cases and there is not really a good way to work around it. Especially for downstream packagers, modifying this via UserSettings is not really feasible since such a source file has to be kept in sync with Settings/Default.hs manually since it can't import Settings.Default or any predefined Flavour definitions. To avoid having to add a new setting to cfg/system.config and/or a new configure flag (though I'm happy to implement both if required), I've chosen to take --with-curses-* being set explicitly as an indication that the user wants to have terminfo enabled. This would work for Nixpkgs which sets these flags [1] as well as haskell.nix [2] (which goes to some extreme measures [3] [4] to force terminfo in all scenarios). In general, I'm an advocate for making the GHC build be the same for native and cross insofar it is possible since it makes packaging GHC and Haskell related things while still supporting cross much less compilicated. A more minimal GHC with reduced dependencies should probably be a specific flavor, not the default. Partially addresses #26288 by forcing terminfo to be built if the user explicitly passes configure flags related to it. However, it isn't built by default when cross-compiling yet nor is there an explicit way to control the package being built.

For example, we now are properly able to prove the subtyping relationship ((∀ a. a->a) -> Int) -> Bool <= β[tau] Bool for an unfilled metavariable β. In this case (with an AppTy on the right), we used to fall back to unification. No longer: now, given that the LHS is a FunTy and that the RHS is a deep rho type (does not need any instantiation), we try to make the RHS into a FunTy, viz. β := (->) γ We can then continue using covariance & contravariance of the function arrow, which allows us to prove the subtyping relationship, instead of trying to unify which would cause us to error out with: Couldn't match expected type ‘β’ with actual type ‘(->) ((∀ a. a -> a) -> Int) See Note [FunTy vs non-FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify. The other main improvement in this patch concerns type inference. The main subsumption logic happens (before & after this patch) in GHC.Tc.Gen.App.checkResultTy. However, before this patch, all of the DeepSubsumption logic only kicked in in 'check' mode, not in 'infer' mode. This patch adds deep instantiation in the 'infer' mode of checkResultTy when we are doing deep subsumption, which allows us to accept programs such as: f :: Int -> (forall a. a->a) g :: Int -> Bool -> Bool test1 b = case b of True -> f False -> g test2 b = case b of True -> g False -> f See Note [Deeply instantiate in checkResultTy when inferring]. Finally, we add representation-polymorphism checks to ensure that the lambda abstractions we introduce when doing subsumption obey the representation polymorphism invariants of Note [Representation polymorphism invariants] in GHC.Core. See Note [FunTy vs FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep]. This is accompanied by a courtesy change to `(<.>) :: HsWrapper -> HsWrapper -> HsWrapper`, adding the equation: WpCast c1 <.> WpCast c2 = WpCast (c1 `mkTransCo` c2) This is useful because mkWpFun does not introduce an eta-expansion when both of the argument & result wrappers are casts; so this change allows us to avoid introducing lambda abstractions when casts suffice.
