[Git][ghc/ghc][wip/27162/rts-explicit-dllimport] 28 commits: Simplify mkTick

David Eichmann pushed to branch wip/27162/rts-explicit-dllimport at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 2dadf3b0 by sheaf at 2026-04-16T13:28:39-04:00 Simplify mkTick This commit simplifies 'GHC.Core.Utils.mkTick', removing the accumulating parameter 'rest' which was suspiciously treating a bunch of different ticks as a group, and moving the group as a whole around the AST, ignoring that the ticks in the group might have different placement properties. The most important change is that we revert the logic (added in 85b0aae2) that allowed ticks to be placed around coercions, which caused serious issues (e.g. #27121). It was just a mistake, as it doesn't make sense to put a tick around a coercion. Also adds Note [Pushing SCCs inwards] which clarifies the logic for pushing SCCs into lambdas, constructor applications, and dropping SCCs around non-function variables (in particular the treatment of splittable ticks). A few other changes are also implemented: - simplify 'can_split' predicate (no functional change) - combine profiling ticks into one when possible Fixes #26878, #26941 and #27121 Co-authored-by: simonpj - - - - - a0d6f1f4 by Simon Jakobi at 2026-04-16T13:29:28-04:00 Add regression test for #9074 Closes #9074. - - - - - d178ee89 by Sylvain Henry at 2026-04-16T13:30:25-04:00 Add changelog for #15973 - - - - - e8a196c6 by sheaf at 2026-04-16T13:31:19-04:00 Deal with 'noSpec' in 'coreExprToPmLit' This commit makes two separate changes relating to 'GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types.coreExprAsPmLit': 1. Commit 7124e4ad mistakenly marked deferred errors as non-canonical, which led to the introduction of 'nospec' wrappers in the generated Core. This reverts that accident by declaring deferred errors as being canonical, avoiding spurious 'nospec' wrapping. 2. Look through magic identity-like Ids such as 'nospec', 'inline' and 'lazy' in 'coreExprAsPmLit', just like Core Prep does. There might genuinely be incoherent evidence, but that shouldn't obstruct the pattern match checker. See test T27124a.

Fixes #16484 - - - - - d6ce7477 by Richard Eisenberg at 2026-04-16T19:23:25-04:00 Teach hadrian to --skip-test. Fixes #27188. This adds the --skip-test flag to `hadrian build`, as documented in the patch. - - - - - 7666f4a9 by Fendor at 2026-04-17T22:29:51-04:00 Migrate `ghc-pkg` to use `OsPath` and `file-io` `ghc-pkg` should use UNC paths as much as possible to avoid MAX_PATH issues on windows. `file-io` uses UNC Paths by default on windows, ensuring we use the correct APIs and that we finally are no longer plagued by MAX_PATH issues in CI and private machines. On top of it, the higher correctness of `OsPath` is appreciated in this small codebase. Also, we improve memory usage very slightly, due to the more efficient memory representation of `OsPath` over `FilePath` Adds `ghc-pkg` regression test for MAX_PATH on windows Make sure `ghc-pkg` behaves as expected when long paths (> 255) are involved on windows. Let's generate a testcase where we can actually observe that `ghc-pkg` behaves as epxected. See the documentation for windows on Maximum Path Length Limitation: * `https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation` Adds changelog entry for long path support in ghc-pkg. - - - - - 78434e8c by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-04-17T22:30:38-04:00 Kill off the substitution in Lint Now that we have invariant (NoTypeShadowing) we no longer need Lint to carry an ambient substitution. This makes it simpler and faster. A really worthwhile refactor. There are some knock-on effects * Linting join points after worker/wrapper. See Note [Join points and beta redexes] * Running a type substitution after the desugarer. See Note [Substituting type-lets] in the new module GHC.Core.SubstTypeLets Implements #27078 Most perf tests don't use Lint so we won't see a perf incresae. But T1969, which uses -O0 and Lint, gets 1.3% worse because it has to run the SubstTypeLets pass which is a somewhat expensive no-op Overall though compile-time allocations are down 0.1%. Metric Increase: T1969 - - - - - 86ca6c2c by mangoiv at 2026-04-17T22:31:22-04:00 testsuite: inline elemCoreTest Some weird (probably python scoping) rule caused elemCoreTest, a regex being out of scope on ubuntu, presumably because of a newer python version. This patch just inlines the regex, which fixes the issue.

Rewrite rules are added so that if an operand is `fsLit`/`mkFastString`, the `appendFS` application is rewritten to append the `ShortByteString` operands first. The patch also fixes `sconcat` behavior to align with `mconcat` for the same reason. Fixes #27205. - - - - - 4ed78760 by mangoiv at 2026-04-24T08:25:13-04:00 contributing: adjust MR template to be less verbose - MR template only shows text that is relevant for submissiong - MR template was rewritten so it's readable from a user's and reviewer's perspective Resolves #27165 Co-Authored-By: @sheaf - - - - - 87db83e2 by Cheng Shao at 2026-04-24T14:37:21-04:00 ci: bump freebsd boot ghc to 9.10.3 This commit bumps freebsd boot ghc to 9.10.3 to align with other platforms and prevent outdated boot libs in boot ghc to block the freebsd job. - - - - - 17e3a0b7 by Cheng Shao at 2026-04-24T14:37:21-04:00 compiler: improve Binary instance of Array This patch improves the `Binary` instance of `Array`: - We no longer allocate intermediate lists. When serializing an `Array`, we iterate over the elements directly; when deserializing it, we allocate the result `Array` and fill it in a loop. - Now we only serialize the array bounds tuple; the length field is not needed. Closes #27109. - - - - - 2d30f7d3 by sheaf at 2026-04-24T14:38:23-04:00 Vendor mini-QuickCheck for testsuite This commit extracts the vendored QuickCheck implementation from the foundation testsuite to make it more broadly available in the GHC testsuite, and makes use of it in the simd006 test (which also used a vendored QuickCheck implementation). On the way, we update the linear congruential generator to avoid the shortcoming of only generating 31 bit large numbers. Fixes #25990 and #25969. - - - - - 1350271b by sheaf at 2026-04-27T09:32:53-04:00 Ensure TcM plugins are only initialised once This commit ensures we keep TcM plugins (typechecker plugins, defaulting plugins and hole fit plugins) running all the way through desugaring, instead of stopping them at the end of typechecking. To do this, the "stop" actions of TcPlugin and DefaultingPlugin are split into two: one for the "post-typecheck" action, and one for the final shutdown action (after desugaring). This allows the plugins to be invoked by the pattern match checker (during desugaring) without having to be repeatedly re-initialised and stopped, fixing #26839. In the process, this commit modifies 'initTc' and 'initTcInteractive', adding an extra argument that describes whether to start/stop the 'TcM' plugins. See Note [Stop TcM plugins after desugaring] for an overview. - - - - - 42549222 by sheaf at 2026-04-27T09:33:50-04:00 Hadrian: add --keep-response-files This commit adds a Hadrian flag that allows response files to be retained. This is useful for debugging a failing Hadrian command line. - - - - - 40564e8d by sheaf at 2026-04-27T09:34:46-04:00 hadrian/build-cabal.bat: fix build on Windows Commit 8cb99552f6 introduced a warning for a missing package index. However, the logic was faulty on Windows: the piping was broken, and "remote-repo-cache:" was being interpreted as a (malformed) drive letter, leading to the error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. This commit fixes that by using a temporary file instead of piping. - - - - - b10444a1 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-04-28T13:14:52+01:00 Use __attribute__((dllimport)) for external RTS symbol declarations This is needed to be hygenic about DLL symbol imports and exports. The attribute is ignored on platforms other than Windows. Use of the attribute however means that external data symbols do not have a compile-time constant address (they are loaded using an indirection). This means we have to adjust the rtsSyms initial linker table so that it is a local constant in a function, rather than a global constant. We now define it within a function that pre-populates the symbol table with the RTS symbols. - - - - - 206 changed files: - .gitlab/generate-ci/gen_ci.hs - .gitlab/jobs.yaml - .gitlab/merge_request_templates/Default.md -
