Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/substitution-via-mapper at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 4e9297ea by Simon Jakobi at 2026-09-11T08:32:45-04:00 ci: Actually pass --ignore-perf-failures to the testsuite driver 684c0018d9 changed the IGNORE_PERF_FAILURES handling to append to RUNTEST_ARGS with bash array syntax, but the three use sites still expand RUNTEST_ARGS as a scalar, which yields only the first array element. The appended flag was therefore dropped in every job, so perf improvements kept failing Marge Bot batches and master pipelines, contrary to #19562. Append as a string instead, matching the existing --force-colors append in test_hadrian. Fixes #27563.

Some of these are in a layout context (DoExpr, MDoExpr), others are not (ListComp, MonadComp). We are moving towards using AnnList only in layout contexts, so we switch the HsDo TTG annotation from holding an AnnList for this, to holding Either (EpToken "[", EpToken "]") AnnList This also allows us to trim down AnnListBrackets to only have braces or None, thereby opening the door for unification with the existing layout context data type EpLayout. - - - - - 749d2448 by Luite Stegeman at 2026-09-15T14:07:01-04:00 rts: handle large CONSTR closures in compacting GC The function update_fwd_large in the compacting GC could run into an unexpected object with the following error: internal error: update_fwd_large: unknown/strange object 1 Closure type 1 is CONSTR.

The post-condition for unblockAndAppendToRunQueue is that the TSO is on the run queue or it is in the process of migrating to another cap. Previously it achieved that by always directly adding the TSO to the run queue itself. But this actually made things more complicated for the I/O managers, because it meant they needed a separate code path for notifying for cancellation compared to notifying for completion. The general notification code would always add the TSO to the run queue itself. So the improvement is to allow different cases in unblockAndAppendToRunQueue to achieve the same outcome in different ways: either directly adding to the run queue or calling helper functions that do so themselves. This then allows the new I/O managers to share code between the sync and async cancellation, and to reuse their notifyIOCompletion helpers for cancellation. This avoids a source of bugs where the completion path may be updated but the cancellation path may be forgotten, or similarly in future for sync/async operations. Update all the existing in-RTS I/O managers, and the posix timeout code. - - - - - d668782c by Duncan Coutts at 2026-09-15T20:11:35-04:00 Document that awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO expects an empty run queue This was true before but implicit and not relied on much.

It also doesn't increase the size of the StgAsyncIOOp structure. There was enough spare padding space already. Update the poll I/O manager to set the new fields. Add a helper function to convert the enum IOReadOrWrite into the enum IOOpCode. Also change IOReadOrWrite to be an enum without a typedef, for consistency with other enumerations in IOManager.h - - - - - bfa87882 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-09-15T20:11:36-04:00 Add a new I/O manager based on select() Yes, this is the second such I/O manager, but it is a modern re-implementation based on the new in-RTS I/O manager infrastructure. So it is cleaner and faster than the old select I/O manager. Why do we need another I/O manager based on select? Why isn't the poll() one good enough as a baseline portable unix I/O manager? Because macOS. Apple Inc. is why we cannot have nice things. The man page for poll on macOS documents the fact that it does not work. At least, it does not work for all files. Specifically, it does not work for device files. Whereas macOS select() does work for device files. Aaaaarg! We _do_ want to deprecate and remove the old select I/O manager, but due to macOS we cannot do that until we have a replacement. This is that replacement. Until of course a nice new k-queue I/O manager arrives, which could become the new default for macOS and FreeBSD. Interestingly, this select I/O manager is actually faster than the poll one, on Linix, in some circumstances: specifically when many Haskell threads are waiting on the same fd. The poll I/O manager does O(n) work for n threads waiting on I/O, whereas the select one does O(fds) work for the number of fds that threads are waiting on. Usually this is 1:1, so it's not noticable, but one can concoct extreme benchmarks to show the difference. - - - - - 8e9de15a by Duncan Coutts at 2026-09-15T20:11:36-04:00 Minor updates in the poll I/O manager to keep in sync with select This keeps it in sync with select one. The changes are based on code review while implementing the new select I/O manager. The two I/O managers are so similar in structure that it makes sense to try to minimise the diff between them. This should aid understanding, and fixes to both in future. - - - - - 222668bb by Duncan Coutts at 2026-09-15T20:11:36-04:00 Document the new select I/O manager in the user guide in the RTS section about I/O managers.

For example: - OpenSynFamilyTyCon ==> OpenTypeFamilyTyCon - ClosedSynFamilyTyCon => ClosedTypeFamilyTyCon - Various functions that were specific to data families have been renamed to make this clear. For example: - tyConFamInst_maybe ==> tyConDataFamInst_maybe - isFamInstTyCon ==> isDataFamInstTyCon - 'FamTyConFlav' has been refactored so that all closed type families share a single 'ClosedTypeFamilyTyCon' constructor. The corresponding 'IfaceFamTyConFlav' type was updated similarly. This is then used to tidy up the implementation of GHC.Core.FamInstEnv.reduceTyFamApp_maybe. - - - - - c5aa9098 by sheaf at 2026-09-17T02:39:13-04:00 Small refactor of lookupFamInstEnv This commit reworks the code for looking up family instances in GHC.Core.FamInstEnv, reducing duplication a little bit.

The main change is to allow boxing to be parametrised by representation, e.g. making 'Box ty' a valid type. We achieve this by implementing 'Box' using a closed type family: newtype Box (a :: TYPE r) = Box (BoxTF r) type BoxTF :: RuntimeRep -> Type type family BoxTF r where BoxTF IntRep = BoxInt BoxTF Int8Rep = BoxInt8 BoxTF WordRep = BoxWord BoxTF LiftedRep = Any @Type BoxTF (TupleRep [r1, r2]) = (BoxTF r1, BoxTF r2) ... BoxTF (SumRep rs) = BoxSum rs This new design solves the following problems: - It allows boxing a type whose 'RuntimeRep' has not yet been determined (e.g. because we only learn the 'RuntimeRep' after constraint solving). That is, 'Box @r a' is a perfectly valid type even if 'r' is an unfilled metavariable. This is a requirement to fix #25065 (in which we need to box a type whose 'RuntimeRep' is only filled in during constraint solving). - It handles boxing of unboxed tuples and unboxed sums, via recursive boxing. See Note [Boxing TupleRep and SumRep] in GHC.Builtin.WiredIn.Types.Box. 'Box', 'BoxTF' and all of the boxing data constructors are defined in a new 'ghc-internal' module, 'GHC.Internal.Box'. This module contains nothing but wired-in declarations, and GHC never loads its interface on account of a wired-in thing (GHC.Builtin.Modules.isWiredInOnlyModule); see Note [Loading instances for wired-in things] in GHC.Iface.Load. The individual boxing data constructors are deliberately left as an internal implementation detail, and not exported. The intended API is via the two new magic 'Id's: box :: forall {r} (a :: TYPE r). a -> Box a unbox :: forall {r} (a :: TYPE r). Box a -> a exported from 'GHC.PrimOps' (in 'ghc-experimental'). The old boxing data types (IntBox, WordBox, FloatBox, DoubleBox, DictBox) are no longer exported from base (CLC proposal #421). We use this new design to consistently desugar: - parallel comprehensions (GHC.HsToCore.ListComp.{deListComp,dsMcStmt}) - then/group/using statements (GHC.HsToCore.ListComp.{dsTransStmt,dsMcStmt}) - recursive do blocks (mdo/rec) (GHC.HsToCore.Expr.dsDo) - arrows (GHC.HsToCore.Arrows) by consistently using 'box'/'unbox' to deal with unboxed types being put into big tuples. We also adapt 'GHC.Tc.Gen.Match.{tcMcStmt,tcDoStmt}' to create fresh /representation-polymorphic/ type variables for the binders that we are going to put into a big tuple (previously, GHC only allowed lifted types in that position). These desugaring of box and unbox is explained in Note [Desugaring box & unbox] in GHC.Core.Make.Box. Roughly speaking, the desugaring looks like: box @r @ty e ==> K e unbox @r @ty e ==> case e of K x -> x where 'K' is the boxing data constructor at RuntimeRep 'r'. It's slightly more complicated than that in practice: we first need to insert a cast (see Note [The canonical type of a RuntimeRep]) using the new 'CanonicalProv' 'UnivCoProvenance', and unboxed tuples/sums need recursive logic explained in Note [box/unbox for unboxed tuples and sums], including a specific 'BoxSum' datatypes for unboxed sum (which also needed a wired-in type-level list indexing type family (!!)). The desugaring happens in two ways: - Occurrences of 'box'/'unbox' emitted by the typechecker are eliminated in the 'ds_app_var' case of GHC.HsToCore.Expr. - Other code that needs to box/unbox emits the appropriate code inline. This includes the big tuple machinery of GHC.Core.Make used by the desugarer (GHC.HsToCore.{Utils,Binds,Arrows,ListComp}) as well as the float-out pass (GHC.Core.Opt.SetLevels). Core Lint checks that no occurrence of 'box'/'unbox' survives desugaring. On the way, we overhaul the litany of big tuple functions by introducing data BigTupleLayout = BoxedElements | BareElements to distinguish the two kinds of "big tuples" that GHC routinely deals with; for example 'mkBigCoreVarTupSolo' becomes 'mkBigCoreVarTup BareElements'. All of this code is moved to the new module GHC.Core.Make.BigTuple.

This was somewhat costly as the list of flag processor has near 2000 elements. A lookup with a trie map is faster in general, but the speed up is only noticeable when calling `GHC.Driver.CmdLine.processArgs` sufficient times, so the amount of lookups piles up. This could happen in large projects with many units each having many dependencies. If only a module needs to be recompiled, the user still needs to wait for all of the flag parsing to complete. The benchmark at testsuite/tests/perf/compiler/cmdline-parser shows a 10x speed up when using the trie. The trie map is implemented in `GHC.Data.StringTrie`. The design is explained in Note [Processing command line argument fast] in GHC.Driver.Session. The commit also: * adds two property-based tests for trie map operations, * adds a benchmark of the command line parser, and * renames the predicate `arg_ok` to `valid_flag_suffix` to decide what flag processor should be used when there are multiple matching prefixes on a flag.

In Haskell, layout is optional in many places, as there is also an alternative syntax using braces and semi-colons, which is free-form. This commit introduces AnnListLayout, a data structure capturing this distinction. It is deliberately set up similarly to EpLayout, so that these two can be merged in time. The transition is done mechanically, where AnnListBraces is not used yet, the original Nothing case maps to AnnListNoLayout, and the Just case to AnnListLayout.

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. This both makes use of multiple build roots more ergonomic (as the user no longer needs to repeat themselves) and avoids a tiresome foot-gun (forgetting to specify a flavour, often wholly invalidating a build root). Closes #20650.

Thus, prepending will ensure that the in-memory unit database is the last item on the unit database stack. 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.
