Cheng Shao pushed to branch wip/deepseq-primop at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 30f442a9 by Teo Camarasu at 2026-01-20T13:57:26-05:00 base: don't expose GHC.Num.{BigNat, Integer, Natural} We no longer expose GHC.Num.{BigNat, Integer, Natural} from base instead users should get these modules from ghc-bignum. We make this change to insulate end users from changes to GHC's implementation of big numbers.

It's not a hadrian bug per se, since ghc's own ghc-in-ghci multi repl works fine, but we should still make sure HLS works.

The underlying issue has been fixed in https://github.com/haskell/directory/commit/75828696e7145adc09179111a0d631b9... and present since 1.3.9.0, and hadrian directory lower bound is 1.3.9.0, so we can revert our own in house hack now. - - - - - 5efb58dc by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-21T16:07:36-05:00 rts: fix typo in TICK_ALLOC_RTS This patch fixes a typo in the `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` macro, the original `bytes` argument was silently dropped. The Cmm code has its own version of `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` not affected by this typo, it affected the C RTS, and went unnoticed because the variable `n` happened to also be available at its call site. But the number was incorrect. Also fixes its call site since `WDS()` is not available in C. - - - - - c406ea69 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-21T16:07:36-05:00 rts: remove broken & unused ALLOC_P_TICKY This patch removes the `ALLOC_P_TICKY` macro from the rts, it's unused, and its expanded code is already broken. - - - - - 34a27e20 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-21T16:08:17-05:00 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 Some (small) compilations get faster because they only need to load (small) interface file GHC.Internal.Classes.IP.hi, rather than (large) GHC.Internal.Classes.hi.

The changes are not comprehensive, and there are still a lot of re.sub usages lingering around the tree, but this already addresses a major performance bottleneck in the testsuite driver that might has to do with quadratic or worse slowdown in cpython's regular expression engine when handling certain regex patterns with large strings. Especially on i386, and i386 jobs are the bottlenecks of all full-ci validate pipelines! Here are the elapsed times of testing x86_64/i386 with -j48 before this patch: x86_64: `Build completed in 6m06s` i386: `Build completed in 1h36m` And with this patch: x86_64: `Build completed in 4m55s` i386: `Build completed in 4m23s` Fixes #26786.
