Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/26737 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: c1fe0097 by Peter Trommler at 2026-01-14T03:54:49-05:00 PPC NCG: Fix shift right MO code The shift amount in shift right [arithmetic] MOs is machine word width. Therefore remove unnecessary zero- or sign-extending of shift amount. It looks harmless to extend the shift amount argument because the shift right instruction uses only the seven lowest bits (i. e. mod 128). But now we have a conversion operation from a smaller type to word width around a memory load at word width. The types are not matching up but there is no check done in CodeGen. The necessary conversion from word width down to the smaller width would be translated into a no-op on PowerPC anyway. So all seems harmless if it was not for a small optimisation in getRegister'. In getRegister' a load instruction with the smaller width of the conversion operation was generated. This loaded the most significant bits of the word in memory on a big-endian platform. These bits were zero and hence shift right was used with shift amount zero and not one as required in test Sized. Fixes #26519 - - - - - 2dafc65a by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-14T03:55:31-05:00 Tree-wide cleanup of cygwin logic GHC has not supported cygwin for quite a few years already, and will not resume support in the forseeable future. The only supported windows toolchain is clang64/clangarm64 of the msys2 project. This patch cleans up the unused cygwin logic in the tree.

This now moves all that logic out of hadrian and allows us to have a clean Haskell package to build and link against and ship it without extra logic. This patch still retains the ability to link against a system libffi. The main reason of bundling libffi was that on some platforms (e.g. FreeBSD and Mac), system libffi is not visible to the C toolchain by default, so users would require settings in e.g. cabal to be able to compile anything. This adds the submodule libffi-clib to the repository. - - - - - 5e1cd595 by Peng Fan at 2026-01-14T11:12:26-05:00 NCG/LA64: add support for la664 micro architecture Add '-mla664' flag to LA664, which has some new features: atomic instructions, dbar hints, etc. 'LA464' is the default so that unrecognized instructions are not generated. - - - - - c85d41bd by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-15T13:43:57+00:00 Make the implicit-parameter class have representational role This MR addresses #26737, by making the built-in class IP have a representational role for its second parameter. See Note [IP: implicit parameter class] in ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Classes.IP In fact, IP is (unfortunately, currently) exposed by base:GHC.Base, so we ran a quick CLC proposal to agree the change: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/385 - - - - - 67 changed files: - .gitlab/ci.sh - .gitlab/generate-ci/gen_ci.hs - .gitlab/jobs.yaml - .gitmodules - compiler/GHC/Builtin/Names.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/Config.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/PPC/CodeGen.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Config/CmmToAsm.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/DynFlags.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/MakeFile.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Session.hs - compiler/GHC/Linker/Loader.hs - compiler/GHC/Linker/Unit.hs - compiler/GHC/SysTools/Terminal.hs - compiler/GHC/Unit/State.hs - configure.ac - docs/users_guide/9.16.1-notes.rst - docs/users_guide/packages.rst - docs/users_guide/using-concurrent.rst - docs/users_guide/using.rst - docs/users_guide/win32-dlls.rst - driver/ghci/ghci.c - driver/utils/cwrapper.c - driver/utils/isMinTTY.c - hadrian/bindist/cwrappers/cwrapper.c - hadrian/hadrian.cabal - hadrian/src/Builder.hs - hadrian/src/Packages.hs - hadrian/src/Rules.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Documentation.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Generate.hs - − hadrian/src/Rules/Libffi.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Register.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Rts.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/SourceDist.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Builders/Cabal.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Builders/Ghc.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Default.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Packages.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Program.hs - − libffi-tarballs - libraries/base/tests/IO/T12010/cbits/initWinSock.c - libraries/ghc-internal/cbits/consUtils.c - libraries/ghc-internal/configure.ac - libraries/ghc-internal/ghc-internal.cabal.in - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Classes.hs - + libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Classes/IP.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/ConsoleHandler.hsc - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/IO/Handle.hs - + libraries/libffi-clib - m4/ghc_select_file_extensions.m4 - packages - rts/RtsFlags.c - rts/include/rts/ghc_ffi.h - rts/rts.buildinfo.in - rts/rts.cabal - testsuite/driver/perf_notes.py - testsuite/driver/runtests.py - testsuite/driver/testglobals.py - testsuite/driver/testlib.py - testsuite/mk/test.mk - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/ghc-prim-exports.stdout - testsuite/tests/rts/linker/rdynamic.hs - testsuite/tests/th/TH_implicitParams.stdout - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/T26737.hs - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/all.T The diff was not included because it is too large.
