Its purpose was to permit incomplete record selectors, but because of the illegal combination of `-Werror=` and `-Wno-error` it was ignored, without any negative consequences. - - - - - 9f48a5b9 by Alan Zimmerman at 2026-09-25T17:02:50-04:00 EPA: Add specific layout field to AnnList Up to now AnnList has effectively served to represent lists of things having layout, regardless of whether they do or not. In Haskell, layout is optional in many places, as there is also an alternative syntax using braces and semi-colons, which is free-form. This commit introduces AnnListLayout, a data structure capturing this distinction. It is deliberately set up similarly to EpLayout, so that these two can be merged in time. The transition is done mechanically, where AnnListBraces is not used yet, the original Nothing case maps to AnnListNoLayout, and the Just case to AnnListLayout. Later commits will fine tune these against the actual parser layout. - - - - - 234bab08 by Vladislav Zavialov at 2026-09-29T17:22:54-04:00 Add regression test for #7803 Commit 2effe18ab5, first shipped with GHC 8.2.1, fixed #7803 "Superclass methods are left unspecialized". This change turns the example from the ticket description into a regression test, checking that foo1 is fully specialised at Double, with no calls to the overloaded exp5Tail.

GC Generations are now limited to 64. -n larger than -A now emits a warning and disables chunking.

For exact printing, we need the line as well as the col, so we know how many lines to skip when the indented code block starts. This commit updates EpLayout.EpVirtualBraces so that it carries an EpaLocation instead of just the Int column, to allow it to be used for both purposes. It is a simple mechanical change, with no other impact, but it allows us to use EpLayout instead of AnnListLayout in AnnList, in the next commit in this series. - - - - - 1d2a26ee by Andrew Lelechenko at 2026-10-01T20:22:04-04:00 Remove bitSize from MINIMAL pragma of class Bits Cf. https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/441 The function is deprecated for 12 years and has a default implementation, yet it was never removed from the MINIMAL pragma, putting library authors in a very awkward position. Let's finally remove bitSize from MINIMAL. - - - - - 3cc21e4c by Hannes Siebenhandl at 2026-10-01T20:22:59-04:00 Add regression test for #27641 - - - - - c35096f5 by Hannes Siebenhandl at 2026-10-01T20:23:00-04:00 Don't `:add` modules the loader will reject Only home modules can be actually added to the loader context, thus we only accept the module if it belongs to a home unit. - - - - - a563cb27 by Simon Jakobi at 2026-10-02T17:37:36-04:00 ci: accept modified changelog.d entries in lint-changelog The changelog guide says to extend an existing entry rather than add a new one when the feature is already documented. lint_changelog only counted added files, so such MRs failed before the validator ran.

However, wired-in units are referred to by their wired-in unit id, which is not the same as the on-disk unit id. Thus, trust checks for wired-in units failed because the lookup was using the wired-in unit, which wasn't present in the `TrustOverlay`. We fix #27834, by copying the trust info for wired-in unit ids. - - - - - f8cfb1a5 by Hécate Kleidukos at 2026-10-04T19:36:39+02:00 [CLC 341] Strict variants of mutable types This commit is the implementation of CLC Proposal 341 https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/341 - - - - - 575c4bc6 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2026-10-05T12:32:02-04:00 ttg: HsModuleName in the AST, ModuleName in GHC This commit makes the AST fully independent from GHC by parsing a "module name" as an `HsModuleName (= HText)` rather than constructing an `ModuleName (= FastString)` straight away. In the GHC side, everything remains as a `ModuleName`. We turn AST `HsModuleName`s into fast strings with the cheap `mkFastStringShortText` when we process the AST for manipulation within the compiler. There are no performance regressions introduced by this approach. This is the final piece of #21592 Alternative plans were discussed in gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/16546#note_694647, but the Simon suggested one won in simplicity and performance when compared against my attempt at implementing my original plan of having a family `ModuleNameP`. - - - - - b3b89d32 by mangoiv at 2026-10-05T22:03:32-04:00 hadrian: Persist the used flavour name in the build root (#20650) This executes the idea proposed in #20650, teaching Hadrian to persist the flavour used to build a build root. This both makes use of multiple build roots more ergonomic (as the user no longer needs to repeat themselves) and avoids a tiresome foot-gun (forgetting to specify a flavour, often wholly invalidating a build root). Closes #20650.

Thus, prepending will ensure that the in-memory unit database is the last item on the unit database stack. Further, the in-memory unit database needs to be able to shadow units from earlier unit databases in the unit database stack. Moreover, a `-clear-package-db` would remove the in-memory database if it weren't the last item on the stack.

Nothing then reserves descriptor 1, and open(), pipe() and socket() hand out the lowest free descriptor, so the next descriptor the runtime creates for itself takes it: the ticker's pipe, or a capability's IO manager control pipe. 'GHC.Internal.IO.StdHandles.stdout' is a CAF, built the first time the program writes to stdout, which is long after that has happened. It builds a 'Handle' over descriptor 1, which now belongs to the runtime, and nothing reports an error because the descriptor is perfectly good. The program then writes its output into the runtime's own plumbing. What that looks like from the outside is a hang. The descriptor the Handle has taken over is the read end of a pipe, so poll() for POLLOUT on it never says yes and epoll_ctl() accepts a registration for it; the thread waiting to write blocks for ever. Closing the Handle at exit closes the runtime's descriptor, which is worse: the ticker then fails on every tick. 'hs_init_ghc' now opens /dev/null onto whichever of descriptors 0, 1 and 2 are closed, before the runtime creates any descriptor of its own. Each is opened for the access that descriptor would normally have, read-only for 0 and write-only for 1 and 2, so that writing to 'stdin' or reading from 'stdout' still fails rather than quietly succeeding against /dev/null. See Note [Standard file descriptors must be open]. Moving only the descriptors the runtime opens would not do: the first file the program itself opened would land on the free number instead. The fix has to leave no free number. A program run this way therefore finds stdout connected to /dev/null rather than failing with EBADF on the first write, which is what such a program would get from most other language runtimes.

The main changes are * Refactor `trim_qtvs` completely to eliminate the bug. * Remove a redundant `apartnessCheck` from `mkTopOpenFamEqFDs`. * Lots of improvements to the Notes in FunDeps.hs I also did a couple of pure refactors: * I realised that we were carefully caching `cab_incomps` in each `CoAxBranch`, to make it more efficient to reduce a type family application, but we were not doing the same thing when computing relevance for functional dependencies; see Note [Relevance] in GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps. So I added `cab_overlaps`, which is now used in `noEarlierMatch`. * Use a proper data types, `AmIUnifying` and `OuterKindsFlag`, for two previously-Boolean arguments to `tc_unify_tys`. This is a pure refactor. - - - - - 178 changed files: - .gitlab-ci.yml - .gitlab/ci.sh - + changelog.d/24450 - + changelog.d/27641 - changelog.d/T27455 - + changelog.d/T27828 - + changelog.d/T27830-rts-flag-bounds -
