Marge Bot pushed to branch wip/marge_bot_batch_merge_job at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: a8a94aad by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-05T16:24:04-05:00 hadrian: drops unused PE linker script for windows This patch drops unused PE linker script for windows in the `MergeObjects` builder of hadrian. The linker script is used for merging object files into a single `HS*.o` object file and undoing the effect of split sections, when building the "ghci library" object file. However, we don't build the ghci library on windows, and this code path is actually unreachable. - - - - - 53038ea9 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-05T16:24:04-05:00 hadrian: drop unused logic for building ghci libraries This patch drops the unused logic for building ghci libraries in hadrian: - The term "ghci library" refers to an optional object file per library `HS*.o`, which is merged from multiple object files in that library using the `MergeObjects` builder in hadrian. - The original rationale of having a ghci library object, in addition to normal archives, was to speedup ghci loading, since the combined object is linked with a linker script to undo the effects of `-fsplit-sections` to reduce section count and make it easier for the RTS linker to handle. - However, most GHC builds enable `dynamicGhcPrograms` by default, in such cases the ghci library would already not be built. - `dynamicGhcPrograms` is disabled on Windows, but still we don't build the ghci library due to lack of functioning merge objects command. - The only case that we actually build ghci library objects, are alpine fully static bindists. However, for other reasons, split sections is already disabled for fully static builds anyway! - There will not be any regression if the ghci library objects are absent from a GHC global libdir when `dynamicGhcPrograms` is disabled. The RTS linker can already load the archives without any issue. Hence the removal. We now forcibly disable ghci libraries for all Cabal components, and rip out all logic related to `MergeObjects` and ghci libraries in hadrian. This also nicely cleans up some old todos and fixmes that are no longer relevant. Note that MergeObjects in hadrian is not the same thing as merge objects in the GHC driver. The latter is not affected by this patch. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: libdir ------------------------- Co-authored-by: Codex - - - - - 8f209336 by Simon Jakobi at 2026-01-05T16:24:48-05:00 User's guide: Fix link to language extensions Instead of linking to haddocks, it seemed more useful to link to the extension overview in the user's guide.

It is all described in Note [Exploiting closed type families] Most of the changes are in GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps Other small changes * GHC.Tc.Solver.bumpReductionDepth. This function brings together the code that * Bumps the depth * Checks for overflow Previously the two were separated, sometimes quite widely. * GHC.Core.Unify.niFixSubst: minor improvement, removing an unnecessary itraetion in the base case. * GHC.Core.Unify: no need to pass an InScopeSet to tcUnifyTysForInjectivity. It can calculate one for itself; and it is never inspected anyway so it's free to do so. * GHC.Tc.Errors.Ppr: slight impovement to the error message for reduction-stack overflow, when a constraint (rather than a type) is involved. * GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.wrapUnifier: small change to the API - - - - - f2c3b984 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-06T04:21:49-05:00 Add missing (KK4) to kick-out criteria There was a missing case in kick-out that meant we could fail to solve an eminently-solvable constraint.

Small tidy-up. * Remove `is_ip` and `mkIPErr` from GHC.Tc.Errors; instead enhance mkDictErr to handle implicit parameters. Small refactor. - - - - - 570ea3b6 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-06T04:21:49-05:00 Improve recording of insolubility for fundeps This commit addresses #22652, by recording when the fundeps for a constraint are definitely insoluble. That in turn improves the perspicacity of the pattern-match overlap checker.

Boo. This tiny patch fixes it, and adds the regression test from #13882 that showed it up. - - - - - 28a7a94e by konsumlamm at 2026-01-06T04:22:01-05:00 Fix changelog formatting - - - - - 89 changed files: - compiler/GHC/Core/FamInstEnv.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCo/Subst.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCon.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Unify.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Monad.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors/Types.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Splice.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Default.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Dict.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Equality.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/FunDeps.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/InertSet.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Monad.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Rewrite.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/Constraint.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/CtLoc.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Utils/Monad.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Utils/Unify.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/TyThing.hs - docs/users_guide/9.16.1-notes.rst - docs/users_guide/exts/pragmas.rst - docs/users_guide/exts/table.rst - − driver/utils/merge_sections.ld - − driver/utils/merge_sections_pe.ld - hadrian/hadrian.cabal - hadrian/src/Builder.hs - hadrian/src/Context.hs - hadrian/src/Hadrian/Haskell/Cabal/Parse.hs - hadrian/src/Hadrian/Haskell/Cabal/Type.hs - hadrian/src/Hadrian/Haskell/Hash.hs - hadrian/src/Oracles/Flag.hs - hadrian/src/Rules.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Library.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Register.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Builders/Cabal.hs - − hadrian/src/Settings/Builders/MergeObjects.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Builders/SplitSections.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Default.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Packages.hs - libraries/base/changelog.md - linters/lint-codes/LintCodes/Static.hs - testsuite/tests/indexed-types/should_compile/CEqCanOccursCheck.hs - testsuite/tests/indexed-types/should_fail/T12522a.hs - testsuite/tests/indexed-types/should_fail/T26176.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_fail/RecordDotSyntaxFail10.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_fail/RecordDotSyntaxFail13.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_fail/T20654a.stderr - testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T15753c.hs - + testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T15753c.stderr - testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T15753d.hs - + testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T15753d.stderr - + testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T22652.hs - + testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T22652a.hs - testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/all.T - + testsuite/tests/polykinds/T13882.hs - testsuite/tests/polykinds/all.T - testsuite/tests/quantified-constraints/T15316A.stderr - testsuite/tests/quantified-constraints/T17267.stderr - testsuite/tests/quantified-constraints/T17267a.stderr - testsuite/tests/quantified-constraints/T17267b.stderr - testsuite/tests/quantified-constraints/T17267c.stderr - testsuite/tests/quantified-constraints/T17267e.stderr - testsuite/tests/quantified-constraints/T17458.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/T16188.hs - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/ContextStack1.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/FD3.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/FDsFromGivens2.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/FunDepOrigin1b.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T13506.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T15767.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T19415.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T19415b.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T22924b.stderr - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T23162b.hs - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T23162b.stderr - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T23162c.hs - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T23162d.hs - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T25325.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T5236.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T5246.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T5978.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T9612.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/TcCoercibleFail.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/all.T - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/tcfail143.stderr - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/Convert.hs The diff was not included because it is too large.
