When enabled the arm backend will assume jumps to targets outside of the
current module are further than 128MB away.
This will allow for code to work if:
* The current module results in less than 128MB of code.
* The whole program is loaded within a 4GB memory region.
We have seen a few reports of broken linkers (#24648) where this flag might allow
a program to compile/run successfully at a very small performance cost.

Move logic to find and set Breakpoint to GHC
Breakpoints are uniquely identified by a module and an index unique
within that module. `ModBreaks` of a Module contains arrays mapping from
this unique breakpoint index to information about each breakpoint. For
instance, `modBreaks_locs` stores the `SrcSpan` for each breakpoint.
To find a breakpoint using the line number you need to go through all
breakpoints in the array for a given module and look at the line and
column stored in the `SrcSpan`s. Similarly for columns and finding
breakpoints by name.
This logic previously lived within the `GHCi` application sources,
however, it is common to any GHC applications wanting to set
breakpoints, like the upcoming `ghc-debugger`.
This commit moves this logic for finding and setting breakpoints to the
GHC library so it can be used by both `ghci` and `ghc-debugger`.

Refactor and move logic for identifier breakpoints
Breakpoints can be set on functions using syntax of the form
`[Module.]function`. The parsing, resolution (e.g. inferring implicit
module), and validation of this syntax for referring to functions was
tightly coupled with its GHCi use.
This commit extracts the general purpose bits of resolving this syntax
into `GHC.Runtime.Debugger.Breakpoints` so it can be further used by
other GHC applications and to improve the code structure of GHCi.
Moreover, a few utilities that do splitting and joining of identifiers
as strings were moved to `GHC.Runtime.Eval.Utils`, which also can be
used in the future to clean up `GHC.Runtime.Eval` a bit.

debugger: Add breakpoints to every Stmt
While single-stepping through a Haskell program we stop at every
breakpoint. However, we don't introduce breakpoints at every single
expression (e.g. single variables) because they would be too many and
uninteresting.
That said, in a do-block, it is expected that stepping over would break
at every line, even if it isn't particularly interesting (e.g. a single
arg like getArgs). Moreover, let-statements in do-blocks, despite only
being evaluated once needed, lead to surprising jumps while stepping
through because some have outermost (outside the let) breakpoints
while others don't.
This commit makes every statement in a do-block have a breakpoint.
This leads to predictable stepping through in a do-block.
Duplicate breakpoints in the same location are avoided using the
existing blacklist mechanism, which was missing a check in one relevant place.

TcRnIllegalTermLevelUse: simpler error when possible
This commit makes GHC emit a simple error message in the case of an
illegal term-level use of a data constructor: we will try to report an
out-of-scope error instead of a "Illegal term level use" error, as the
latter might be a bit overwhelming for newcomers.
We do this when we have a data constructor import suggestion to provide
to the user. For example:
module M where { data A = A }
module N where
import M(A)
x = Bool
-- Illegal term-level use of Bool
y = A
-- Data constructor not in scope: A.
-- Perhaps add 'A' to the import list of 'M'.
This commit also revamps the "similar names" suggestion mechanism,
and in particular its treatment of name spaces. Now, which name spaces
we suggest is based solely on what we are looking for, and no longer on
the NameSpace of the Name we have. This is because, for illegal term-level
use errors, it doesn't make much sense to change the suggestions based
on the fact that we resolved to e.g. a type constructor/class; what
matters is what we were expecting to see in this position.
See GHC.Rename.Unbound.{suggestionIsRelevant,relevantNameSpace} as well
as the new constructors to GHC.Tc.Errors.Types.WhatLooking.

- Move `checkOptions` and aux functions, which validates GHC DynFlags
based on the mode, to `ghc-bin:GHC.Driver.Session.Lint`

Retry type/class declarations and instances to account for non-lexical
dependencies arising from type/data family instances.
This patch improves the kind checker's ability to use type instances in kind
checking of other declarations in the same module.
* Key change: tcTyAndClassDecls now does multiple passes over the TyClGroups,
as long as it is able to make progress.
See the new Note [Retrying TyClGroups] in GHC.Tc.TyCl
* Supporting change: FVs of a TyClGroup are now recorded in its extension
field, namely XCTyClGroup.
See the new Note [Prepare TyClGroup FVs] in GHC.Rename.Module
* Instances are no longer inserted at the earliest positions where their FVs
are bound. This is a simplification.
See the new Note [Put instances at the end] in GHC.Rename.Module
* Automatic unpacking is now more predictable, but fewer fields get unpacked
by default. Use explicit {-# UNPACK #-} pragmas instead.

checkFamApp: don't be so eager to cycle break
As remarked in #25933, a pure refactoring of checkTyEqRhs in
ab77fc8c7adebd610aa0bd99d653f9a6cc78a374 inadvertently changed behaviour,

unnecessary circumstances.
This commit refactors 'GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.checkFamApp' in a way that
should restore the old behaviour, so that, when possible, we first
recur into the arguments and only introduce a cycle breaker if this
recursion fails (e.g. due to an occurs check failure).

driver: Add support for "Fixed" nodes in the ModuleGraph
A fixed node in the module graph is one which we presume is already
built. It's therefore up to the user to make sure that the interface
file and any relevant artifacts are available for a fixed node.
Fixed/Compile nodes are represented by the ModuleNodeInfo type, which
abstracts the common parts of Fixed/Compile nodes with accessor
functions of type `ModuleNodeInfo -> ...`.
Fixed nodes can only depend on other fixed nodes. This invariant can be
checked by the function `checkModuleGraph` or `mkModuleGraphChecked`.
--make mode is modified to work with fixed mode. In order to "compile" a
fixed node, the artifacts are just loaded into the HomePackageTable.
Currently nothing in the compiler will produce Fixed nodes but this is
tested with the FixedNodes GHC API test.
In subsequent patches we are going to remove the ExternalModuleGraph and
use Fixed nodes for modules in the module graph in oneshot mode.

ci: remove manual case of ghc-wasm-meta downstream testing jobs
This patch removes the manual case of ghc-wasm-meta downstream testing
jobs; now the only way of including them in the pipeline and running
them is via the test-wasm label.
The reason of the removal is it proves to be problematic for MRs with
only the wasm label; the wasm job would succeed, then the pipeline
status would be waiting for manual action instead of succeeding. There
needs to be separate jobs for the label-triggered and manual-triggered
cases, but I don't think it's worth that extra complexity, the
label-triggered case is already sufficient.

Reject puns in T2T (#24153)
This patch implements pun detection in T2T. Consider:
x = 42
f, g :: forall a -> ...
f (type x) = g x
In accordance with the specification, the `g x` function call is renamed
as a term, so `x` refers to the top-level binding `x = 42`, not to the
type variable binding `type x` as one might expect.
This is somewhat counterintuitive because `g` expects a type argument.
Forbidding puns in T2T allows us to produce a helpful error message:
Test.hs:5:16: error: [GHC-09591]
Illegal punned variable occurrence in a required type argument.
The name ‘x’ could refer to:
‘x’ defined at Test.hs:3:1
‘x’ bound at Test.hs:5:9

driver: Use ModuleGraph for oneshot and --make mode
This patch uses the `hsc_mod_graph` field for both oneshot and --make
mode. Therefore, if part of the compiler requires usage of the module
graph, you do so in a uniform way for the two different modes.
The `ModuleGraph` describes the relationship between the modules in the
home package and units in external packages. The `ModuleGraph` can be
queried when information about the transitive closure of a package is
needed. For example, the primary use of the ModuleGraph from within the
compiler is in the loader, which needs to know the transitive closure of
a module so it can load all the relevant objects for evaluation.
In --make mode, downsweep computes the ModuleGraph before any
compilation starts.
In oneshot mode, a thunk is created at the start of compilation, which
when forced will compute the module graph beneath the current module.
The thunk is only forced at the moment when the user uses Template
Haskell.
Finally, there are some situations where we need to discover what
dependencies to load but haven't loaded a module graph at all. In this
case, there is a fallback which computes the transitive closure on the
fly and doesn't cache the result. Presumably if you are going to call
getLinkDeps a lot, you would compute the right ModuleGraph before you
started.
Importantly, this removes the ExternalModuleGraph abstraction. This was quite
awkward to work with since it stored information about the home package
inside the EPS.
This patch will also be very useful when implementing explicit level
imports, which requires more significant use of the module graph in
order to determine which level instances are available at.

Refactor Handling of Multiple Default Declarations
Fixes: #25912, #25914, #25934
Previously, GHC discarded all loaded defaults (tcg_default) when local
defaults were encountered during typechecking. According to the
exportable-named-default proposal (sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3), local
defaults should be merged into tcg_default, retaining any defaults
already present while overriding where necessary.
Key Changes:
* Introduce DefaultProvenance to track the origin of default declarations
(local, imported, or built-in), replacing the original cd_module
in ClassDefaults with cd_provenance :: DefaultProvenance.
* Rename tcDefaults to tcDefaultDecls, limiting its responsibility to only
converting renamed class defaults into ClassDefaults.
* Add extendDefaultEnvWithLocalDefaults to merge local defaults into the
environment, with proper duplication checks:
- Duplicate local defaults for a class trigger an error.
- Local defaults override imported or built-in defaults.
* Update and add related notes: Note [Builtin class defaults],
Note [DefaultProvenance].
* Add regression tests: T25912, T25914, T25934.

Fix specialisation of incoherent instances (fixes #25883)
GHC normally assumes that class constraints are canonical, meaning that
the specialiser is allowed to replace one dictionary argument with another
provided that they have the same type. The `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
flag alters INCOHERENT instance definitions so that they will prevent
specialisation in some cases, by inserting `nospec`.
This commit fixes a bug in 7124e4ad76d98f1fc246ada4fd7bf64413ff2f2e, which
treated some INCOHERENT instance matches as if `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
was in effect, thereby unnecessarily preventing specialisation. In addition
it updates the relevant `Note [Rules for instance lookup]` and adds a new
`Note [Canonicity for incoherent matches]`.

ghci: Use loadInterfaceForModule rather than loadSrcInterface in mkTopLevEnv
loadSrcInterface takes a user given `ModuleName` and resolves it to the
module which needs to be loaded (taking into account module
renaming/visibility etc).
loadInterfaceForModule takes a specific module and loads it.
The modules in `ImpDeclSpec` have already been resolved to the actual
module to get the information from during renaming. Therefore we just
need to fetch the precise interface from disk (and not attempt to rename
it again).

Add `UnitId` to `EvalBreakpoint`
The `EvalBreakpoint` is used to communicate that a breakpoint was
encountered during code evaluation.
This `EvalBreakpoint` needs to be converted to an `InternalBreakpointId`
which stores a `Module` to uniquely find the correct `Module` in the
Home Package Table.
The `EvalBreakpoint` used to store only a `ModuleName` which is then
converted to a `Module` based on the currently active home unit.
This is incorrect in the face of multiple home units, the break point
could be in an entirely other home unit!
To fix this, we additionally store the `UnitId` of the `Module` in
`EvalBreakpoint` to later reconstruct the correct `Module`
All of the changes are the consequence of extending `EvalBreakpoint`
with the additional `ShortByteString` of the `UnitId`.
For performance reasons, we store the `ShortByteString` backing the
`UnitId` directly, avoiding marshalling overhead.

Implement Explicit Level Imports for Template Haskell
This commit introduces the `ExplicitLevelImports` and
`ImplicitStagePersistence` language extensions as proposed in GHC
Proposal #682.
Key Features
------------
- `ExplicitLevelImports` adds two new import modifiers - `splice` and
`quote` - allowing precise control over the level at which imported
identifiers are available
- `ImplicitStagePersistence` (enabled by default) preserves existing
path-based cross-stage persistence behavior
- `NoImplicitStagePersistence` disables implicit cross-stage
persistence, requiring explicit level imports
Benefits
--------
- Improved compilation performance by reducing unnecessary code generation
- Enhanced IDE experience with faster feedback in `-fno-code` mode
- Better dependency tracking by distinguishing compile-time and runtime dependencies
- Foundation for future cross-compilation improvements
This implementation enables the separation of modules needed at
compile-time from those needed at runtime, allowing for more efficient
compilation pipelines and clearer code organization in projects using
Template Haskell.
Implementation Notes
--------------------
The level which a name is availble at is stored in the 'GRE', in the normal
GlobalRdrEnv. The function `greLevels` returns the levels which a specific GRE
is imported at. The level information for a 'Name' is computed by `getCurrentAndBindLevel`.
The level validity is checked by `checkCrossLevelLifting`.
Instances are checked by `checkWellLevelledDFun`, which computes the level an
instance by calling `checkWellLevelledInstanceWhat`, which sees what is
available at by looking at the module graph.
Modifications to downsweep
--------------------------
Code generation is now only enabled for modules which are needed at
compile time.
See the Note [-fno-code mode] for more information.
Uniform error messages for level errors
---------------------------------------
All error messages to do with levels are now reported uniformly using
the `TcRnBadlyStaged` constructor.
Error messages are uniformly reported in terms of levels.
0 - top-level
1 - quote level
-1 - splice level
The only level hard-coded into the compiler is the top-level in
GHC.Types.ThLevelIndex.topLevelIndex.
Uniformly refer to levels and stages
------------------------------------
There was much confusion about levels vs stages in the compiler.
A level is a semantic concept, used by the typechecker to ensure a
program can be evaluated in a well-staged manner.
A stage is an operational construct, program evaluation proceeds in
stages.
Deprecate -Wbadly-staged-types
------------------------------
`-Wbadly-staged-types` is deprecated in favour of `-Wbadly-levelled-types`.
Lift derivation changed
-----------------------
Derived lift instances will now not generate code with expression
quotations.
Before:
```
data A = A Int deriving Lift
=>
lift (A x) = [| A $(lift x) |]
```
After:
```
lift (A x) = conE 'A `appE` (lift x)
```
This is because if you attempt to derive `Lift` in a module where
`NoImplicitStagePersistence` is enabled, you would get an infinite loop
where a constructor was attempted to be persisted using the instance you
are currently defining.
GHC API Changes
---------------
The ModuleGraph now contains additional information about the type of
the edges (normal, quote or splice) between modules. This is abstracted
using the `ModuleGraphEdge` data type.
Fixes #25828

Fix infelicities in the Specialiser
On the way to #23109 (unary classes) I discovered some infelicities
(or maybe tiny bugs, I forget) in the type-class specialiser.
I also tripped over #25965, an outright bug in the rule matcher
Specifically:
* Refactor: I enhanced `wantCallsFor`, whih previously always said
`True`, to discard calls of class-ops, data constructors etc. This is
a bit more efficient; and it means we don't need to worry about
filtering them out later.
* Fix: I tidied up some tricky logic that eliminated redundant
specialisations. It wasn't working correctly. See the expanded
Note [Specialisations already covered], and
(MP3) in Note [Specialising polymorphic dictionaries].
See also the new top-level `alreadyCovered`
function, which now goes via `GHC.Core.Rules.ruleLhsIsMoreSpecific`
I also added a useful Note [The (CI-KEY) invariant]
* Fix #25965: fixed a tricky bug in the `go_fam_fam` in
`GHC.Core.Unify.uVarOrFam`, which allows matching to succeed
without binding all type varibles.
I enhanced Note [Apartness and type families] some more
* #25703. This ticket "just works" with -fpolymorphic-specialisation;
but I was surprised that it worked! In this MR I added documentation
to Note [Interesting dictionary arguments] to explain; and tests to
ensure it stays fixed.

Track rewriter sets more accurately in constraint solving
The key change, which fixed #25440, is to call `recordRewriter` in
GHC.Tc.Solver.Rewrite.rewrite_exact_fam_app. This missing call meant
that we were secretly rewriting a Wanted with a Wanted, but not really
noticing; and that led to a very bad error message, as you can see
in the ticket.
But of course that led me into rabbit hole of other refactoring around
the RewriteSet code:
* Improve Notes [Wanteds rewrite Wanteds]
* Zonk the RewriterSet in `zonkCtEvidence` rather than only in GHC.Tc.Errors.
This is tidier anyway (e.g. de-clutters debug output), and helps with the
next point.
* In GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality.inertsCanDischarge, don't replace a constraint
with no rewriters with an equal constraint that has many. See
See (CE4) in Note [Combining equalities]
* Move zonkRewriterSet and friends from GHC.Tc.Zonk.Type into
GHC.Tc.Zonk.TcType, where they properly belong.
A handful of tests get better error messages.

Nothing constrains `b`, so it will be instantiates with `Any` or

Fix a bad untouchability bug im simplifyInfer
This patch addresses #26004. The root cause was that simplifyInfer
was willing to unify variables "far out". The fix, in
runTcSWithEvBinds', is to initialise the inert set given-eq level with
the current level. See
(TGE6) in Note [Tracking Given equalities]
in GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet
Two loosely related refactors:
* Refactored approximateWCX to return just the free type
variables of the un-quantified constraints. That avoids duplication
of work (these free vars are needed in simplifyInfer) and makes it
clearer that the constraints themselves are irrelevant.
* A little local refactor of TcSMode, which reduces the number of
parameters to runTcSWithEvBinds

Take subordinate 'type' specifiers into account
This patch fixes multiple bugs (#22581, #25983, #25984, #25991)
in name resolution of subordinate import lists.
Bug #22581
----------
In subordinate import lists, the use of the `type` namespace specifier
used to be ignored. For example, this import statement was incorrectly
accepted:
import Prelude (Bool(type True))
Now it results in an error message:
<interactive>:2:17: error: [GHC-51433]
In the import of ‘Prelude’:
a data type called ‘Bool’ is exported,
but its subordinate item ‘True’ is not in the type namespace.
Bug #25983
----------
In subordinate import lists within a `hiding` clause, non-existent
items led to a poor warning message with -Wdodgy-imports. Consider:
import Prelude hiding (Bool(X))
The warning message for this import statement used to misreport the
cause of the problem:
<interactive>:3:24: warning: [GHC-56449] [-Wdodgy-imports]
In the import of ‘Prelude’:
an item called ‘Bool’ is exported, but it is a type.
Now the warning message is correct:
<interactive>:2:24: warning: [GHC-10237] [-Wdodgy-imports]
In the import of ‘Prelude’:
a data type called ‘Bool’ is exported, but it does not export
any constructors or record fields called ‘X’.
Bug #25984
----------
In subordinate import lists within a `hiding` clause, non-existent
items resulted in the entire import declaration being discarded.
For example, this program was incorrectly accepted:
import Prelude hiding (Bool(True,X))
t = True
Now it results in an error message:
<interactive>:2:5: error: [GHC-88464]
Data constructor not in scope: True
Bug #25991
----------
In subordinate import lists, it was not possible to refer to a class
method if there was an associated type of the same name:
module M_helper where
class C a b where
type a # b
(#) :: a -> b -> ()
module M where
import M_helper (C((#)))
This import declaration failed with:
M.hs:2:28: error: [GHC-10237]
In the import of ‘M_helper’:
an item called ‘C’ is exported, but it does not export any children
(constructors, class methods or field names) called ‘#’.
Now it is accepted.
Summary
-------
The changes required to fix these bugs are almost entirely confined to
GHC.Rename.Names. Other than that, there is a new error constructor
BadImportNonTypeSubordinates with error code [GHC-51433].
Test cases:
T22581a T22581b T22581c T22581d

wasm: mark freeJSVal as INLINE
This patch marks `freeJSVal` as `INLINE` for the wasm backend. I
noticed that the `freeJSVal` invocations are not inlined when
inspecting STG/Cmm dumps of downstream libraries that use release
build of the wasm backend. The performance benefit of inlining here is
very modest, but so is the cost anyway; if you are using `freeJSVal`
at all then you care about every potential chance to improve
performance :)

This patch refactors the compiler to avoid allocating iserv buffers

compiler: remove FFIInfo bookkeeping in BCO
This commit removes the bc_ffis field from CompiledByteCode
completely, as well as all the related bookkeeping logic in
GHC.StgToByteCode. bc_ffis is actually *unused* in the rest of GHC
codebase! It is merely a list of FFIInfo, which is just a remote
pointer of the libffi ffi_cif struct; once we allocate the ffi_cif
struct and put its pointer in a CCALL instruction, we'll never free it
anyway. So there is no point of bookkeeping.
