[Git][ghc/ghc][wip/andreask/bomb_out] 46 commits: Allow disabling builtin rules (#20298)

Andreas Klebinger pushed to branch wip/andreask/bomb_out at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 5ae89054 by Sylvain Henry at 2025-09-24T17:07:00-04:00 Allow disabling builtin rules (#20298) Add a way to disable built-in rules programmatically and with a debug flag. I also took the opportunity to add a debug flag to disable bignum rules, which was only possible programmatically (e.g. in a plugin). - - - - - 135242ca by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2025-09-24T17:07:44-04:00 Don't use build CFLAGS and friends as target settings In the GHC in tree configure, `CFLAGS`, `CXXFLAGS`, and similar tool configuration flags apply to the BUILD phase of the compiler, i.e. to the tools run to compile GHC itself. Notably, they should /not/ be carried over to the Target settings, i.e. these flags should /not/ apply to the tool which GHC invokes at runtime. Fixes #25637 - - - - - b418408b by Irene Knapp at 2025-09-25T09:47:54-04:00 Document etymology of "bind" as the name for `>>=` It took me twenty years of contemplation to realize why it's called that. I therefore feel that it may not be obvious to beginners. - - - - - e9c5e46f by Brandon Chinn at 2025-09-25T09:48:36-04:00 Fix tabs in string gaps (#26415) Tabs in string gaps were broken in bb030d0d because previously, string gaps were manually parsed, but now it's lexed by the usual Alex grammar and post-processed after successful lexing. It broke because of a discrepancy between GHC's lexer grammar and the Haskell Report. The Haskell Report includes tabs in whitechar: whitechar → newline | vertab | space | tab | uniWhite $whitechar used to include tabs until 18 years ago, when it was removed in order to exclude tabs from $white_no_nl in order to warn on tabs: 6e202120. In this MR, I'm adding \t back into $whitechar, and explicitly excluding \t from the $white_no_nl+ rule ignoring all whitespace in source code, which more accurately colocates the "ignore all whitespace except tabs, which is handled in the next line" logic. As a side effect of this MR, tabs are now allowed in pragmas; currently, a pragma written as {-# \t LANGUAGE ... #-} is interpreted as the tab character being the pragma name, and GHC warns "Unrecognized pragma". With this change, tabs are ignored as whitespace, which more closely matches the Report anyway. - - - - - 8bf5b309 by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-25T09:49:18-04:00 wasm: remove the --no-turbo-fast-api-calls hack from dynamic linker shebang This patch removes the `--no-turbo-fast-api-calls` hack from the dyld script shebang; it was used to workaround v8 fast call coredumps in nodejs and no longer needed, and comes with a performance penalty, hence the removal. - - - - - c1cab0c3 by Sylvain Henry at 2025-09-26T10:36:30-04:00 Revert "Add necessary flag for js linking" This reverts commit 84f68e2231b2eddb2e1dc4e90af394ef0f2e803f. This commit didn't have the expected effect. See discussion in #26290. Instead we export HEAP8 and HEAPU8 from rts/js/mem.js - - - - - 0a434a80 by Sylvain Henry at 2025-09-26T10:36:30-04:00 JS: export HEAPU8 (#26290) This is now required by newer Emscripten versions. - - - - - b10296a9 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-09-26T10:37:11-04:00 sizeExpr: Improve Tick handling. When determining if we scrutinize a function argument we now properly look through ticks. Fixes #26444. - - - - - d9e2a9a7 by mniip at 2025-09-26T16:00:50-04:00 rts: Refactor parsing of -h flags We have a nontrivial amount of heap profiling flags available in the non-profiled runtime, so it makes sense to reuse the parsing code between the profiled and the non-profiled runtime, only restricting which flags are allowed. - - - - - 089e45aa by mniip at 2025-09-26T16:00:50-04:00 rts: Fix parsing of -h options with braces When the "filter by" -h options were introduced in bc210f7d267e8351ccb66972f4b3a650eb9338bb, the braces were mandatory. Then in 3c22fb21fb18e27ce8d941069a6915fce584a526, the braces were made optional. Then in d1ce35d2271ac8b79cb5e37677b1a989749e611c the brace syntax stopped working, and no one seems to have noticed. - - - - - 423f1472 by mniip at 2025-09-26T16:00:50-04:00 rts: add -hT<type> and -hi<table id> heap filtering options (#26361) They are available in non-profiled builds. Along the way fixed a bug where combining -he<era> and -hr<retainer> would ignore whether the retainer matches or not. - - - - - 4cda4785 by mniip at 2025-09-26T16:00:50-04:00 docs: Document -hT<type> and -hi<addr> - - - - - 982ad30f by mniip at 2025-09-26T16:00:50-04:00 rts: Refactor dumping the heap census Always do the printing of the total size right next to where the bucket label is printed. This prevents accidentally printing a label without the corresponding amount. Fixed a bug where exactly this happened for -hi profile and the 0x0 (uncategorized) info table. There is now also much more symmetry between fprintf(hp_file,...) and the corresponding traceHeapProfSampleString. - - - - - 8cbe006a by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-26T16:01:34-04:00 hadrian: fix GHC.Platform.Host generation for cross stage1 This patch fixes incorrectly GHC.Platform.Host generation logic for cross stage1 in hadrian (#26449). Also adds T26449 test case to witness the fix.

This accesses non-below modules from the home package table. Change the implementation of checkSafeImports to use initTcWithGbl and loadSysInterface to load the module interface, since we already have TcGblEnv at hand. This eliminates the unnecessary use of runTcInteractive and hptAllInstances during the upsweep phase. - - - - - e05c496c by Ben Gamari at 2025-09-28T19:24:59-04:00 base: Update changelog to reflect timing of IOPort# removal This change will make 9.14 afterall. - - - - - bdc9d130 by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-28T19:25:45-04:00 rts: fix wasm JSFFI initialization constructor code This commit fixes wasm JSFFI initialization constructor code so that the constructor is self-contained and avoids invoking a fake __main_argc_argv function. The previous approach of reusing __main_void logic in wasi-libc saves a tiny bit of code, at the expense of link-time trouble whenever GHC links a wasm module without -no-hs-main, in which case the driver-generated main function would clash with the definition here, resulting in a linker error. It's simply better to avoid messing with the main function, and it would additionally allow linking wasm32-wasi command modules that does make use of synchronous JSFFI. - - - - - 5d59fc8f by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-28T19:26:27-04:00 rts: provide stub implementations of ExecPage functions for wasm This patch provides stub implementations of ExecPage functions for wasm. They are never actually invoked at runtime for any non-TNTC platform, yet they can cause link-time errors of missing symbols when the GHCi.InfoTable module gets linked into the final wasm module (e.g. a GHC API program). - - - - - a4d664c7 by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-29T17:29:22+02:00 compiler/ghci: replace the LoadDLL message with LoadDLLs As a part of #25407, this commit changes the LoadDLL message to LoadDLLs, which takes a list of DLL paths to load and returns the list of remote pointer handles. The wasm dyld is refactored to take advantage of LoadDLLs and harvest background parallelism. On other platforms, LoadDLLs is based on a fallback codepath that does sequential loading. The driver is not actually emitting singular LoadDLLs message with multiple DLLs yet, this is left in subsequent commits. Co-authored-by: Codex - - - - - c7fc4bae by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-29T17:29:22+02:00 driver: separate downsweep/upsweep phase in loadPackages' This commit refactors GHC.Linker.Loader.loadPackages' to be separated into downsweep/upsweep phases: - The downsweep phase performs dependency analysis and generates a list of topologically sorted packages to load - The upsweep phase sequentially loads these packages by calling loadPackage This is a necessary refactoring to make it possible to make loading of DLLs concurrent. - - - - - ab180104 by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-29T17:57:19+02:00 driver: emit single LoadDLLs message to load multiple DLLs This commit refactors the driver so that it emits a single LoadDLLs message to load multiple DLLs in GHC.Linker.Loader.loadPackages'.

Gillespie at 2025-09-29T19:57:07-04:00 Fix SIZED_BIN_OP_TY_INT casts in RTS interpreter Correct `SIZED_BIN_OP_TY_INT` cast to integer. Previously, it cast its second operand as its parameter `ty`. This does not currently cause any issues, since we are only using it for bit shifts. Fixes #26287 - - - - - a1de535f by Luite Stegeman at 2025-09-30T18:40:28-04:00 rts: Fix lost wakeups in threadPaused for threads blocked on black holes The lazy blackholing code in threadPaused could overwrite closures that were already eagerly blackholed, and as such wouldn't have a marked update frame. If the black hole was overwritten by its original owner, this would lead to an undetected collision, and the contents of any existing blocking queue being lost. This adds a check for eagerly blackholed closures and avoids overwriting their contents. Fixes #26324 - - - - - b7e21e49 by Luite Stegeman at 2025-09-30T18:40:28-04:00 rts: push the correct update frame in stg_AP_STACK The frame contains an eager black hole (__stg_EAGER_BLACKHOLE_info) so we should push an stg_bh_upd_frame_info instead of an stg_upd_frame_info. - - - - - 02a7c18a by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-30T18:41:27-04:00 ghci: fix lookupSymbolInDLL behavior on wasm This patch fixes lookupSymbolInDLL behavior on wasm to return Nothing instead of throwing. On wasm, we only have lookupSymbol, and the driver would attempt to call lookupSymbolInDLL first before falling back to lookupSymbol, so lookupSymbolInDLL needs to return Nothing gracefully for the fallback behavior to work. - - - - - aa0ca5e3 by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-30T18:41:27-04:00 hadrian/compiler: enable internal-interpreter for ghc library in wasm stage1 This commit enables the internal-interpreter flag for ghc library in wasm stage1, as well as other minor adjustments to make it actually possible to launch a ghc api session that makes use of the internal interpreter. Closes #26431 #25400. - - - - - 69503668 by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-30T18:41:27-04:00 testsuite: add T26431 test case This commit adds T26431 to testsuite/tests/ghci-wasm which goes through the complete bytecode compilation/linking/running pipeline in wasm, so to witness that the ghc shared library in wasm have full support for internal-interpreter. - - - - - e9445c01 by Matthew Pickering at 2025-09-30T18:42:23-04:00 driver: Load bytecode static pointer entries during linking Previously the entries were loaded too eagerly, during upsweep, but we should delay loading them until we know that the relevant bytecode object is demanded. Towards #25230 - - - - - b8307eab by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-30T18:43:14-04:00 autoconf/ghc-toolchain: remove obsolete C99 check This patch removes obsolete c99 check from autoconf/ghc-toolchain. For all toolchain & platform combination we support, gnu11 or above is already supported without any -std flag required, and our RTS already required C11 quite a few years ago, so the C99 check is completely pointless. - - - - - 9c293544 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2025-10-01T09:36:10+01:00 Fix buglet in GHC.Core.Unify.uVarOrFam We were failing to match two totally-equal types! This led to #26457. - - - - - 554487a7 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2025-10-01T23:04:43-04:00 cleanup: Drop obsolete comment about HsConDetails HsConDetails used to have an argument representing the type of the tyargs in a list: data HsConDetails tyarg arg rec = PrefixCon [tyarg] [arg] This datatype was shared across 3 synonyms: HsConPatDetails, HsConDeclH98Details, HsPatSynDetails. In the latter two cases, `tyarg` was instanced to `Void` meaning the list was always empty for these cases. In 7b84c58867edca57a45945a20a9391724db6d9e4, this was refactored such that HsConDetails no longer needs a type of tyargs by construction. The first case now represents the type arguments in the args type itself, with something like: ConPat "MkE" [InvisP tp1, InvisP tp2, p1, p2] So the deleted comment really is just obsolete. Fixes #26461 - - - - - 6992ac09 by Cheng Shao at 2025-10-02T07:27:55-04:00 testsuite: remove unused expected output files This patch removes unused expected output files in the testsuites on platforms that we no longer support. - - - - - 39eaaaba by Ben Gamari at 2025-10-02T07:28:45-04:00 rts: Dynamically initialize built-in closures To resolve #26166 we need to eliminate references to undefined symbols in the runtime system. One such source of these is the runtime's static references to `I#` and `C#` due the `stg_INTLIKE` and `stg_CHARLIKE` arrays. To avoid this we make these dynamic, initializing them during RTS start-up. - - - - - c254c54b by Cheng Shao at 2025-10-02T07:29:33-04:00 compiler: only invoke keepCAFsForGHCi if internal-interpreter is enabled This patch makes the ghc library only invoke keepCAFsForGHCi if internal-interpreter is enabled. For cases when it's not (e.g. the host build of a cross ghc), this avoids unnecessarily retaining all CAFs in the heap. Also fixes the type signature of c_keepCAFsForGHCi to match the C ABI. - - - - - c9ec4d43 by Simon Hengel at 2025-10-02T18:42:20-04:00 Update copyright in documentation - - - - - da9633a9 by Matthew Pickering at 2025-10-02T18:43:04-04:00 loader: Unify loadDecls and loadModuleLinkables functions These two functions nearly did the same thing.

It's easier to use this combination of `only_ways` and `extra_ways` to only run in GHCi ways and always run in GHCi ways. - - - - - c06b534b by Matthew Pickering at 2025-10-03T06:06:40-04:00 Rename interpreterBackend to bytecodeBackend This is preparation for creating bytecode files. The "interpreter" is one way in which we can run bytecode objects. It is more accurate to describe that the backend produces bytecode, rather than the means by which the code will eventually run. The "interpreterBackend" binding is left as a deprecated alias. - - - - - 41bdb16f by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-10-06T18:04:34-04:00 Add a perf test for #26425 - - - - - 1da0c700 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-10-06T18:05:14-04:00 Testsuite: Silence warnings about Wx-partial in concprog001 - - - - - 74ddf3ff by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-10-07T08:03:40+00:00 exprSize: Accumulate size as we go to allow early bomb out. When dealing with branches in the AST we now accumulate expr size across branches, rather than computing both branches before adding them up. This way we can abort early when it's clear an expression is too large to be useful. This fixes an issue I observed in #26425 where we sometimes spent a significant amount of time computing unfolding sizes in deeply nested but branching rhss. Speedup is on the order of ~1%-4% depending on the program we are compiling. - - - - - 6affa095 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-10-07T08:03:40+00:00 ExprSize: Encode presence of discount in type argument - - - - - 7f13f924 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-10-07T08:03:40+00:00 Skip TooBig check in size_up - - - - - 55a84e20 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-10-07T08:03:40+00:00 Make accumulator raw size - - - - - 153895a3 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-10-07T08:03:40+00:00 Some cleanup - - - - - 109 changed files: - compiler/GHC.hs - compiler/GHC/Cmm/Parser.y - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/ConstantFold.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Rules.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Rules/Config.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Unfold.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Unify.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Backend.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Backend/Internal.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Config/Core/Rules.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Downsweep.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Flags.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Main.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Make.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Pipeline.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Plugins.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Session.hs - compiler/GHC/Iface/Tidy/StaticPtrTable.hs - compiler/GHC/Linker/Loader.hs - compiler/GHC/Linker/MacOS.hs - compiler/GHC/Linker/Types.hs - compiler/GHC/Parser/Lexer.x - compiler/GHC/Parser/Lexer/String.x - compiler/GHC/Parser/PostProcess.hs - compiler/GHC/Runtime/Interpreter.hs - compiler/GHC/Runtime/Interpreter/Types.hs - compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Decls.hs - compiler/cbits/keepCAFsForGHCi.c - compiler/ghc.cabal.in - configure.ac - distrib/configure.ac.in - docs/users_guide/conf.py - docs/users_guide/debugging.rst - docs/users_guide/extending_ghc.rst - docs/users_guide/profiling.rst - ghc/Main.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Generate.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Packages.hs - libraries/base/changelog.md - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Base.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/RTS/Flags.hsc - libraries/ghci/GHCi/Message.hs - libraries/ghci/GHCi/ObjLink.hs - libraries/ghci/GHCi/Run.hs - m4/fp_cmm_cpp_cmd_with_args.m4 - − m4/fp_set_cflags_c99.m4 - m4/fp_setup_windows_toolchain.m4 - m4/fptools_set_c_ld_flags.m4 - m4/ghc_toolchain.m4 - rts/Apply.cmm - + rts/BuiltinClosures.c - + rts/BuiltinClosures.h - rts/ExecPage.c - rts/Interpreter.c - rts/ProfHeap.c - rts/RetainerSet.c - rts/RtsFlags.c - rts/RtsStartup.c - rts/StgMiscClosures.cmm - rts/ThreadPaused.c - rts/include/rts/Constants.h - rts/include/rts/Flags.h - rts/include/stg/MiscClosures.h - rts/js/mem.js - rts/rts.cabal - rts/wasm/JSFFI.c - testsuite/driver/testglobals.py - testsuite/driver/testlib.py - + testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/T20298a.hs - + testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/T20298a.stderr - + testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/T20298b.hs - + testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/T20298b.stderr - + testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/T20298c.hs - + testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/T20298c.stderr - testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_compile/all.T - testsuite/tests/concurrent/prog001/all.T - + testsuite/tests/cross/should_run/T26449.hs - + testsuite/tests/cross/should_run/all.T - testsuite/tests/driver/T5313.hs - testsuite/tests/ghc-api/T10052/T10052.hs - testsuite/tests/ghc-api/T8639_api.hs - testsuite/tests/ghc-api/apirecomp001/myghc.hs - + testsuite/tests/ghci-wasm/T26431.hs - + testsuite/tests/ghci-wasm/T26431.stdout - testsuite/tests/ghci-wasm/all.T - testsuite/tests/ghci/linking/dyn/T3372.hs - testsuite/tests/ghci/should_run/PackedDataCon/packeddatacon.T - testsuite/tests/ghci/should_run/UnboxedTuples/unboxedtuples.T - testsuite/tests/ghci/should_run/UnliftedDataTypeInterp/unlifteddatatypeinterp.T - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/ghc-experimental-exports.stdout - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/ghc-experimental-exports.stdout-mingw32 - + testsuite/tests/parser/should_run/T26415.hs - + testsuite/tests/parser/should_run/T26415.stdout - testsuite/tests/parser/should_run/all.T - + testsuite/tests/perf/compiler/T26425.hs - testsuite/tests/perf/compiler/all.T - − testsuite/tests/process/process010.stdout-i386-unknown-solaris2 - − testsuite/tests/rts/linker/T11223/T11223_link_order_a_b_2_fail.stderr-ws-32-mingw32 - − testsuite/tests/rts/linker/T11223/T11223_simple_duplicate_lib.stderr-ws-32-mingw32 - testsuite/tests/rts/linker/T2615.hs - − testsuite/tests/rts/outofmem.stderr-i386-apple-darwin - − testsuite/tests/rts/outofmem.stderr-i386-unknown-mingw32 - − testsuite/tests/rts/outofmem.stderr-powerpc-apple-darwin - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/T26457.hs - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/all.T - utils/ghc-toolchain/src/GHC/Toolchain/Tools/Cc.hs - utils/ghc-toolchain/src/GHC/Toolchain/Tools/Cpp.hs - utils/ghc-toolchain/src/GHC/Toolchain/Tools/Link.hs - utils/jsffi/dyld.mjs The diff was not included because it is too large.
