[Git][ghc/ghc][wip/az/exactprint-annotation-rationalisation] 19 commits: Add -dstable-core-dump-order for stable Core dump ordering (#27296)

Alan Zimmerman pushed to branch wip/az/exactprint-annotation-rationalisation at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 2f6a5534 by Simon Jakobi at 2026-06-23T15:46:20+02:00 Add -dstable-core-dump-order for stable Core dump ordering (#27296) The order of top-level bindings in Core dumps (-ddump-simpl etc.) is the compiler's Unique-sensitive internal processing order, so an unrelated upstream change can reorder them and defeat a textual diff of two dumps. This adds an opt-in flag -dstable-core-dump-order that reorders the top-level bindings of dumps routed through dumpPassResult into a stable, Unique-independent order, so two dumps line up across rebuilds. See Note [Stable Core dump order] in GHC.Core.Ppr for the sort key and its rationale. Adds tests T27296 (binders GHC emits in non-source order by default, asserted to come out stably ordered under the flag) and T27296b (an untidied -ddump-float-out dump pinning the ordering of the anonymous lvl floats by literal value).

Define them explicitly via the new integerSetBit[#], integerClearBit[#] and integerComplementBit[#], built on the BigNat# primitives, which avoid those allocations. Allocation is not eliminated entirely -- the negative (IN) cases would need in-place mutation, which is left as future work. The default methods constant-folded on literal arguments via the integerOr/integerAnd/integerXor rules, which fold literal Integers of any size. The explicit functions have no such rule, so they (their Word-argument wrappers, and the Bits Integer methods) are marked INLINE to expose the underlying primops to the simplifier; see Note [INLINE for constant folding of bit operations]. This restores folding only on the small-int (IS) path -- large literal Integers (IP/IN) are no longer constant-folded, a minor regression for that case. T8832 covers the IS-path folding. The new golden-output test T21176 checks all three operations against the default implementations across the sign/size boundaries, recording each result plus its integerCheck validity. The base and ghc-bignum interface- stability export goldens gain the new functions. The main changelog entry lives in changelog.d under a new ghc-internal section (renamed from ghc-prim).

It avoids repeated conversions while keeping the existing decoding behavior for invalid UTF-8 docstring chunks. The main changes are: * Render and carry docstrings as Text in Haddock-facing paths. * Use the Binary Text instance from GHC.Utils.Binary for Haddock interface files, and bump the Haddock binary interface version. * Add a FastString HTML instance so XHTML rendering avoids intermediate String allocation. * Keep HsDocStringChunk decoding lenient, matching the previous unpackHDSC behavior on invalid UTF-8 input. * Update the xhtml submodule to 3000.4.1.0, which contains the apostrophe escaping fix used by the Haddock test output.

Additionally, it is confusing that ZonkAny, while being a concrete type *represents* a meta variable, espeically in the compiler output. This patch changes the name of ZonkAny to UnusedType which is closer to its intended semantics and adds special pretty printing logic to display this type in the same fashion the compiler displays meta variables in other places, whenever they leak from the implementation to the user. It also exports the type from ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Types in order to expose documentation.
