Duncan Coutts pushed to branch wip/dcoutts/printf-warnings at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: eaa95a6f by Andrei Borzenkov at 2026-09-04T08:08:40-04:00 Parentheses in prefix GADT constructors (#27423) Updated `splitLHsGadtTy` to allow looking through the parentheses for inner binders. General example of a code pattern that's allowed now: data S a where MkS :: (forall a. S a) That should work now with any combination of nested foralls and parentheses. We don't perform parenthesis unwrapping for record GADT constructors in accordance with GHC Proposal #402. To this end `con_inner_bndrs` no longer stores plain forall telescopes: `[HsForAllTelescope pass]` is replaced with `[LHsGadtTelescope pass]`, a new `HsArg`-style type whose `HsGadtForAll` holds an inner telescope and whose `HsGadtPar` holds a pair of parentheses. The parentheses carry no meaning for renaming or type checking; the only reason to record them is exact-printing. Updated `pprConDecl` to improve the `parse == parse . ppr . parse` property of GADT pretty-printing. The pretty printer can now output code that's similar to this: data T a where MkT1 :: (forall a. T a) MkT2 :: forall . forall a. T a These are special cases of inner forall binders for prefix GADT constructors, when we have either implicit or zero explicit outer binders. - - - - - 639456a8 by Evgeny Malyshev at 2026-09-04T08:09:25-04:00 HsPat: Add spacing to unary tuple patterns Use hsep when printing unary boxed TuplePat applications so that the MkSolo constructor is separated from its argument. The old hcat rendered wildcard and parenthesized arguments as MkSolo_ and MkSolo(). Add T27034 to exercise the HsPat splice-dump path with wildcard and variable arguments, and update existing affected golden output.

Now they compile to a single btr, bts or btc, matching what C compilers produce. When the bit index is a literal, constant folding has already collapsed these patterns into ones with a literal mask, such as x & 0xfffffeffffffffff for x & ~(1 << 40). Such masks are now also compiled to a bit-test instruction when they don't fit in an imm32 and would otherwise have to be loaded into a register first. For a variable bit index, this applies only when the shift is unchecked (uncheckedShiftL#, Data.Bits.unsafeShiftL): the bounds-checked shiftL used by e.g. the default clearBit/setBit/complementBit implementations wraps the shift in a bounds mask that this optimisation does not see through. With a literal index, the bounds mask is constant-folded away, so the checked operations benefit too. See Note [Bit-test instructions] in GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.CodeGen. Fixes #25233.

Alas, the renamer does not really know what is a term variable and what is a type variable, because of required type arguments. This patch moves the test to the typechecker, which does know.

This commit introduces 'ExeSpawnPath' which is a path that is guaranteed to be found when spawning a process. All command invocations now go through this type to ensure the path has been properly sanitised. See Note [NeedCurrentDirectoryForExePath] in Hadrian.Utilities. The same treatment is applied to hsc2hs. Updates hsc2hs submodule. - - - - - e28313e3 by sheaf at 2026-09-05T22:07:06-04:00 Preserve tick ordering in 'tickTickedExpr' 'GHC.Core.Utils.tickTickedExpr' tries to combine a tick 't1' into an existing stack of ticks 't2s'. There are two situations: 1. 't1' is subsumed by a tick in 't2s': drop it. 2. A tick in 't2s' is subsumed by 't1', say 't2'. This commit ensures that in case (2) we keep 't1' on the outside instead of replacing 't2' at its position in the stack. This avoids re-ordering source notes (which was the cause of #27749). This fixes a regression introduced in 2dadf3b0d05. Fixes #27749 - - - - - 3172f557 by sheaf at 2026-09-05T22:07:06-04:00 Consistently prefer local source note ticks GHC.Cmm.DebugBlock.cmmDebugGen (DWARF annotations) and GHC.Stg.Debug.quickSourcePos (-finfo-table-map) both contained logic to prioritise source note ticks from the current module. This commit commons up this logic and propagates it to a third consumer: IPE stack frames, in GHC.Driver.GenerateCgIPEStub. See the new function GHC.Types.Tickish.bestSourceNote. - - - - - 192be0b6 by Luite Stegeman at 2026-09-07T19:43:36-04:00 rts: fix ctoi_tuple_spill_words getting out of sync Fix a few places that were not updating ctoi_tuple_spill_words correctly, leading to corruption/crashes when dealing with large unboxed tuples in bytecode: - captureContinuationAndAbort - findRetryFrameHelper/findAtomicallyFrameHelper - interpretBCO bci_BRK_FUN fixes #27633 - - - - - 604eb43c by Simon Jakobi at 2026-09-07T19:44:15-04:00 Hadrian: don't capture the testsuite driver's output (#27780) a6061455d54 switched the Testsuite RunTest case from Shake's cmd to the cmd' wrapper. cmd' always captures stdout and stderr, and since the caller asks for Exit, it returns without dumping what it captured. As a result the testsuite output no longer appears in CI job logs: failures, performance metrics and the summary were lost with the job. Use cmdExe, the uncaptured cmd, as the other plain-cmd sites in that commit do. Fixes #27780.

Update it so we print the statements as a unit, including any comments. Also add the result of auditing that we capture comments in all needed places, noting that the remaining Anno SrcSpan instances are benign. - - - - - 45414045 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-09-09T11:07:13+01:00 Enable printf warnings for trace functions and fix resulting warnings Most of the existing printf-style functions are annotated with attributes to enable gcc/clang warnings for the printf format string, but several trace functions in Trace.h were missing this annotation.
