Sylvain Henry pushed to branch wip/andreask/cfg-fix at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 234bab08 by Vladislav Zavialov at 2026-09-29T17:22:54-04:00 Add regression test for #7803 Commit 2effe18ab5, first shipped with GHC 8.2.1, fixed #7803 "Superclass methods are left unspecialized".

GC Generations are now limited to 64. -n larger than -A now emits a warning and disables chunking.

For exact printing, we need the line as well as the col, so we know how many lines to skip when the indented code block starts. This commit updates EpLayout.EpVirtualBraces so that it carries an EpaLocation instead of just the Int column, to allow it to be used for both purposes. It is a simple mechanical change, with no other impact, but it allows us to use EpLayout instead of AnnListLayout in AnnList, in the next commit in this series. - - - - - 1d2a26ee by Andrew Lelechenko at 2026-10-01T20:22:04-04:00 Remove bitSize from MINIMAL pragma of class Bits Cf. https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/441 The function is deprecated for 12 years and has a default implementation, yet it was never removed from the MINIMAL pragma, putting library authors in a very awkward position.

However, wired-in units are referred to by their wired-in unit id, which is not the same as the on-disk unit id. Thus, trust checks for wired-in units failed because the lookup was using the wired-in unit, which wasn't present in the `TrustOverlay`. We fix #27834, by copying the trust info for wired-in unit ids. - - - - - f8cfb1a5 by Hécate Kleidukos at 2026-10-04T19:36:39+02:00 [CLC 341] Strict variants of mutable types This commit is the implementation of CLC Proposal 341 https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/341 - - - - - 575c4bc6 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2026-10-05T12:32:02-04:00 ttg: HsModuleName in the AST, ModuleName in GHC This commit makes the AST fully independent from GHC by parsing a "module name" as an `HsModuleName (= HText)` rather than constructing an `ModuleName (= FastString)` straight away. In the GHC side, everything remains as a `ModuleName`. We turn AST `HsModuleName`s into fast strings with the cheap `mkFastStringShortText` when we process the AST for manipulation within the compiler. There are no performance regressions introduced by this approach. This is the final piece of #21592 Alternative plans were discussed in gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/16546#note_694647, but the Simon suggested one won in simplicity and performance when compared against my attempt at implementing my original plan of having a family `ModuleNameP`. - - - - - b3b89d32 by mangoiv at 2026-10-05T22:03:32-04:00 hadrian: Persist the used flavour name in the build root (#20650) This executes the idea proposed in #20650, teaching Hadrian to persist the flavour used to build a build root.

Further, the in-memory unit database needs to be able to shadow units from earlier unit databases in the unit database stack. Moreover, a `-clear-package-db` would remove the in-memory database if it weren't the last item on the stack.

Nothing then reserves descriptor 1, and open(), pipe() and socket() hand out the lowest free descriptor, so the next descriptor the runtime creates for itself takes it: the ticker's pipe, or a capability's IO manager control pipe. 'GHC.Internal.IO.StdHandles.stdout' is a CAF, built the first time the program writes to stdout, which is long after that has happened. It builds a 'Handle' over descriptor 1, which now belongs to the runtime, and nothing reports an error because the descriptor is perfectly good. The program then writes its output into the runtime's own plumbing. What that looks like from the outside is a hang. The descriptor the Handle has taken over is the read end of a pipe, so poll() for POLLOUT on it never says yes and epoll_ctl() accepts a registration for it; the thread waiting to write blocks for ever. Closing the Handle at exit closes the runtime's descriptor, which is worse: the ticker then fails on every tick. 'hs_init_ghc' now opens /dev/null onto whichever of descriptors 0, 1 and 2 are closed, before the runtime creates any descriptor of its own. Each is opened for the access that descriptor would normally have, read-only for 0 and write-only for 1 and 2, so that writing to 'stdin' or reading from 'stdout' still fails rather than quietly succeeding against /dev/null. See Note [Standard file descriptors must be open]. Moving only the descriptors the runtime opens would not do: the first file the program itself opened would land on the free number instead. The fix has to leave no free number. A program run this way therefore finds stdout connected to /dev/null rather than failing with EBADF on the first write, which is what such a program would get from most other language runtimes.

However, that commit forgot to update 'freeNamesIfDecl' correspondingly. This could result in a "urk! lookup local fingerpring" crash when e.g. a type's kind uses a type synonym defined later, as we failed to add a dependency on the type synonym during dependency analysis.

But the mechanism had grown crufty, and #27331 exposed a bug. This MR makes it simpler and more uniform, by doing everything via the `ei_suppress` field of the ErrorItem. Claude then found another closely-related bug (see the review linked on !16564). That bug is immortalised in new test T18851d. I'm still not happy with `ignoreConstraint` but we can worry about that another day; I have not touched it. Main changes * Instead of /predicting/ when an error will be reported, we set `cec_error_reported` when an error is /actually/ reported. (I renamed it from `cec_suppress` to reflect this change.) Now errors are suppressed only when a preceding error has actually been reported. Simpler and more robust. See `Note [cec_error_reported: suppressing less-serious errors]` The big changes are in `reportWanteds` which looks very different. * New `Note [ei_suppress: suppressing confusing errors]` describes the (quite separate) `ei_suppress` mechanism for suppressing confusing errors, mainly arising from non-empty rewriter sets * In `tryTypeClassDefaulting`, instead of switching off type-class defaulting if there is an insoluble /anywhere/, we just switch it off locally when we find an insoluble sub-tree. See Note [When to do type-class defaulting] and (W5) in Note [ApproximateWC] * Greatly simplify `insolubleWantedCt`. * I made type-class-defaulting be a bit more eager, only switched off when a peer or ancestor (but not child) constraint is insoluble. See Note [When to do type-class defaulting]. Small refactorings * Rename `askNoErrs` to `askErrsFound` and flip its polarity * The code for "check if ei_suppress is true of all items" code is moved to `mkErrorItems` rather than in the large `reportWanteds`. * Code for `has_gadt_match` moves to `mkGivenErrorReporter`, rather than polluting the large `reportWanteds`. * Many tests with `-fdefer-type-errors` get more warnings, especially about ambiguous (Num a) constraints. This is by-design: see Note [Always warn with -fdefer-type-errors]. Previously GHC was not honouring this Note but now it is, hence the extra errors. - - - - - f217fc31 by Cheng Shao at 2026-10-11T14:39:33-04:00 compiler: ensure cross ghc --info output target unit ids Previously, for cross ghcs, the base/ghc/ghc-internal unit ids in --info output do not match the target unit ids reported by ghc-pkg, breaking cross ghc release builds with hash-unit-ids when being used with cabal 3.18.

So I made these changes: * Move the definition of ForAllTyFlag and its related functions from L.H.S.Specificity (where it did not belong, since L.H.S didn't use it) into GHC.Types.Var. * Remove the Eq and Ord instances for ForAllTyFlag * Deal with the fallout, by using `eqForAllVis` or related functions. * In interface files we use IfaceType as a key for a de-deduplication map See Note [Deduplication during iface binary serialisation] in GHC.Iface.Binary. For this we need /exact/ comparison, so we use a newtype wrapper for IfaceForAllTyFlag, and give use `cmpForAllTyFlagExactly` to implement its Ord instance.

Fundamentally it's a simple idea, but I had to do quite a bit of refactoring to make it fly. I got Claude to help me this this refactoring, but I paid careful attention to every line of code. Main changes: * New module GHC.Core.TyCo.Make which defines TyCoMapper, and a bunch of other simple "smart constructors" for types and coercions. See GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep Note [The Type-related module hierarchy], esp (TRM1) * The new TyCoMapper has new fields `tcm_tcapp_ty` and `tcm_tcapp_co` to handle type-constructor applications. These replace `tcm_tycon`. * Rewrite GHC.Core.TyCo.Subst to use TyCoMapper * Rewrite GHC.Core.Type.expandTypeSynonyms to use TyCoMapper. * Implement `seqType` and `seqCo` with TyCoFolder. To to this I had to add a `tcf_lit` field to TyCoFolder. * A new module GHC.Utils.StrictIdentity to define a strict identity monad, which itself is used for substTyCoMapper :: TyCoMapper Subst StrictIdentity * I removed an apparently-unused instance for Binary Levity Refactoring `seq` functions * In GHC.Core.Seq, redefine `seqOneShot`, `seqRuleInfo`, and friends to return `SeqResult`, a new type defined in GHC.Types.Baseic, rather than `()`. We can define a Monoid instance for `SeqResult` that does the right thing. * This has knock-on effects across the compiler. - - - - - 34165e23 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-10-13T18:10:39-04:00 Refactor TyCoMapper to take a single monad; add StrictReaderT TyCoMapper used to be parameterised over both an environment and a monad, with fields like tcm_tyvar :: env -> TyVar -> m Type Now it is parameterised over just the monad: tcm_tyvar :: TyVar -> m Type If the mapping needs an environment, `m` is a reader monad over that environment. Many uses (e.g. zonkTcTypeMapper, swizzleMapper) need no environment at all, and used to pass a dummy (). The binder field becomes tcm_tycobinder :: forall r. TyCoVar -> ForAllTyFlag -> (TyCoVar -> m r) -> m r and runs the continuation in the extended environment. mapTyCoX is gone; only mapTyCo remains. To make this efficient, the reader monad must use the one-shot trick and be strict in the environment. So: * New module GHC.Utils.Monad.StrictReader defines newtype StrictReaderT r m a with hand-written instances. The builder of the pattern synonym `StrictReaderT` is a smart constructor that adds both `oneShot` and a bang on the environment, so every StrictReaderT computation is strict in the environment. See Note [Instances for StrictReaderT]. * ZonkT becomes type ZonkT = StrictReaderT ZonkEnv ZonkM becomes type ZonkM = StrictReaderT ZonkGblEnv IO replacing their own hand-written instances. * Substitution uses type SubstM = StrictReaderT Subst StrictIdentity substTyCoMapper :: TyCoMapper SubstM and similarly expandTypeSynonymMapper. * zonk_tycomapper :: TyCoMapper (ZonkT TcM) is now much simpler. * swizzleMapper uses StrictIdentity rather than Identity. * Module renaming, so that the strict monads are all peers in GHC.Utils.Monad: GHC.Utils.StrictIdentity ==> GHC.Utils.Monad.StrictIdentity GHC.Utils.Monad.State.Strict ==> GHC.Utils.Monad.StrictState alongside the new GHC.Utils.Monad.StrictReader.

This is the case for example in CI. As a result there is often no indication of progress at all until the run ends. To fix this, we configure it explicitly to use line buffering instead. stderr is reconfigured too, for consistency: Python line-buffers it by default since 3.9.

Those should be covered where they are implemented. We therefore skip generating top-level boxes for inherited methods which will appear as uncovered with no clear indication as to why, and no way to fix other than exercising code the user has not written. Previously, top-level boxes for those inherited methods would use the instance head as their source span. Now that those boxes are gone, we can use that source span for another purpose: We introduce a new top-level box for each class instance with its instance head as the source span, and use that to indicate whether or not an instance has been covered at all. We do this by making any method of the instance, inherited/generated or otherwise, tick the box for the instance head. Excluded from this are methodless classes, which could never be covered using the current mechanism. This could be improved upon further. These changes apply to ticking for program coverage only, and don't affect source notes. Additionally, we update the scope of record selector ticking to be limited to program coverage as well, as the oversight to also extend it to source notes has previously caused bugs and because record selector ticking is coverage-specific.

The main changes are * Refactor `trim_qtvs` completely to eliminate the bug. * Remove a redundant `apartnessCheck` from `mkTopOpenFamEqFDs`. * Lots of improvements to the Notes in FunDeps.hs I also did a couple of pure refactors: * I realised that we were carefully caching `cab_incomps` in each `CoAxBranch`, to make it more efficient to reduce a type family application, but we were not doing the same thing when computing relevance for functional dependencies; see Note [Relevance] in GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps. So I added `cab_overlaps`, which is now used in `noEarlierMatch`. * Use a proper data types, `AmIUnifying` and `OuterKindsFlag`, for two previously-Boolean arguments to `tc_unify_tys`.

This patch significantly simplifes the code in GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality.canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality.canEqCanLHSFinish_no_unification It is now significantly simpler, and requires much less subtle reasoning to understand. Main changes * If `canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification` fails to unify, it now /always/ calls `canEqCanLHSFinish_no_unification` rather than trying to finish the job itself. * `GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.checkTypeEq` is moved from Monad into Equality, and renamed to `GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality.checkTypeEqNoUnification`. * `canEqCanLHSFinish_no_unification` calls `checkTypeEqNoUnification` to test the invariants for an inert equality. Before this MR there was a special case for `do_not_prevent_rewriting`, but that has gone; instead it's just a consequence of the flags passed to `checkTyEqRhs`, documented in the `PuOK` case of `canEqCanLHSFinish_no_unification`. * There is only one bit of "swap back" code, in `finish_no_unify` in `canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification. Previously this code was duplicated. * `kickOutAfterFillingCoercionHole` should account for equalities with a TyFamLHS.

The reason was that the QuickLook unifier, `qlUnify`, used `simpleUnifyCheck` for checking unification invariants; and `simpleUnifyCheck` conservatively rejected any RHS with a coercion hole in it. The upshot was that QuickLook was not as clever as it should be, wrongly failing to do an impredicative instantiation. Interestingly `check_ty_eq_rhs`, which does the same job during constraint solving, was more liberal: it just looked at the free vars of the coercion, and allowed coercion holes. This MR lines them up, adding some careful notes. See Note [simpleUnifyCheck] Note [Occurs check and coercions] Note [Unification preconditions] esp (COERCIONS) Things are better than before, but I am still uncomfortable about the possibilty that a hole might be filled with a coercion that mentions the LHS type variable; for now I have left this discomfort documented in Note [Occurs check and coercions]. Main changes * `qlUnify` now only unifies /instantiation variables/ not regular unification variables. This makes QuickLook more predictable. See (UQL6) in Note [QuickLook unification]. * `qlUnify` no longer needs to call `simpleUnifyCheck`, so we can get rid of `UC_QuickLook` and its code in `simpleUnifyCheck`. * I found I could get rid of `mkOccFolders` in favour of `anyFreeVarsOfType`. Hooray. * Improve documentation of CycleBreakerTv, and rename it to GivenCycleBreakerTv because they are only uesd for Givens! * I accepted a 9% worsening in compile time allocation on T5030 because the newly-consistent story triggered #27934. Other changes * I refactored `atvFolder` so that it pairs the "interesting-var" function with the in-scope set, to avoid building a closure with a free variable. Now we get nice tight loops for `anyFreeVarsOfType` and friends. See Note [Any-free-var folder].

Whenever instruction selection introduces new basic blocks (for instance for word-to-float conversions, cmpxchg based atomic operations, ctz on i386 or 64-bit shifts on i386) it must update this CFG, and the code that follows must use the new block as its origin. Before this patch the current block was threaded explicitly through some statement-level functions only. Block-introducing primops that were dispatched as "simple" (word2Float#, #27915) and the 64-bit shifts in iselExpr64 did not update the CFG at all. This resulted in an out-of-sync CFG, bad code layout and the "Can't find weight for edge that should have one" panic once the register allocator inserted fixup blocks (#27694, #27915). We now keep the current block in the NatM state and provide a few combinators (continueInNewBlock, addCondBlock, addDiamondFlow, addColdSelfLoop, increaseEdgeWeight) that update the CFG and the current block at the same time. See Note [Updating the CFG during CodeGen] in GHC.CmmToAsm.Monad. The cfg sanity check (-dasm-lint) now also checks that all branches in the generated code have a matching edge in the CFG, which catches this class of bug early.
