compiler: Always load GHC.Data.FastString optimised into GHCi
The FastString table is shared between the boot compiler and interpreted
compiler. Therefore it's very important the representation of
`FastString` matches in both cases. Otherwise, the interpreter will read
a FastString from the shared variable but place the fields in the wrong
place which leads to segfaults.
Ideally this state would not be shared, but for now we can always
compile both with `-O2` and this leads to a working interpreter.

RTS: Fix compile on powerpc64 ELF v1
Cabal does not know about the different ABIs for powerpc64 and compiles
StgCRunAsm.S unconditionally. The old make-based build system excluded
this file from the build and it was OK to signal an error when it was
compiled accidentally.
With this patch we compile StgCRunAsm.S to an empty file, which fixes
the build.

perf: Replace uses of genericLength with strictGenericLength
genericLength is a recursive function and marked NOINLINE. It is not
going to specialise. In profiles, it can be seen that 3% of total compilation
time when computing bytecode is spend calling this non-specialised
function.
In addition, we can simplify `addListToSS` to avoid traversing the input
list twice and also allocating an intermediate list (after the call to
reverse).
Overall these changes reduce the time spend in 'assembleBCOs' from 5.61s
to 3.88s. Allocations drop from 8GB to 5.3G.

perf: Key the interpreter symbol cache by Name rather than FastString
Profiles showed that about 0.2s was being spend constructing the keys
before looking up values in the old symbol cache.
The performance of this codepath is critical as it translates directly
to a delay when a user evaluates a function like `main` in the
interpreter.
Therefore we implement a solution which keys the cache(s) by `Name`
rather than the symbol directly, so the cache can be consulted before
the symbol is constructed.

Inline join points for rhs without free vars
While investigating #25170, we ran into a program (T16473) that allocated 67%
more because of a join point that failed to inline.
Note [Duplicating join points] explains why we want to be conservative
when inlining join points, using as an example a join point that
captures a free variable `f` that becomes available in the continuation
`blah` for further optimisations, as opposed to being lambda-abstracted.
However, when the RHS of the join point has no free variables and is
trivial, the same argument does not apply, and there's nothing to gain
from preserving it.
On the contrary, not inlining these trivial join points such as
$j f x = K f x |> co
can be actively harmful as they prevent useful optimisations from firing
on the known constructor application. #25723 is such an example.
Therefore, we've extended `uncondInlineJoin` to allow duplicating such closed
trivial join points. See the updated Note [Duplicating join points] for
further details.
Additionally, merge the guards in uncondInlineJoin for point DJ3(b) anad DJ3(c) of
Note [Duplicating join points] to avoid an unnecessary traversal in the
call to `collectArgs`; it's also more uniform.

driver: fix wasm backend sysroot lookup logic when -flto is passed
For the wasm target, the driver calls `wasm32-wasi-clang
--print-search-dirs` and finds the sysroot directory that contains
libc.so etc, then passes the directory path to dyld. However, when GHC
is configured with -flto as a part of C/C++ compiler flags, the clang
driver would insert a llvm-lto specific directory in the
--print-search-dirs output and the driver didn't take that into
account. This patch fixes it and always selects the non-lto sysroot
directory to be passed to dyld. This is one small step towards
supporting building all cbits with lto for wasm.

interpreter: Fix underflow frame lookups
BCOs can be nested, resulting in nested BCO stack frames where the inner most
stack frame can refer to variables stored on earlier stack frames via the
PUSH_L instruction.
|---------|
| BCO_1 | -<-┐
|---------|
......... |
|---------| | PUSH_L <n>
| BCO_N | ->-┘
|---------|
Here BCO_N is syntactically nested within the code for BCO_1 and will result
in code that references the prior stack frame of BCO_1 for some of it's local
variables. If a stack overflow happens between the creation of the stack frame
for BCO_1 and BCO_N the RTS might move BCO_N to a new stack chunk while leaving
BCO_1 in place, invalidating a simple offset based reference to the outer stack
frames.
Therefore `ReadSpW` first performs a bounds check to ensure that accesses onto
the stack will succeed. If the target address would not be a valid location for
the current stack chunk then `slow_spw` function is called, which dereferences
the underflow frame to adjust the offset before performing the lookup.

Propagate long distance info to guarded let binds
This commit ensures that we propagate the enclosing long distance
information to let bindings inside guards, in order to get accurate
pattern-match checking warnings, in particular incomplete record
selector warnings.
Example:
data D = K0 | K1 { fld :: Int }
f :: D -> Int
f d@(K1 {})
| let i = fld d
= i
f _ = 3
We now correctly recognise that the field selector 'fld' cannot fail,
due to the outer pattern match which guarantees that the value 'd' has
the field 'fld'.

+ Illegal invisible type pattern: @pat
+ An invisible type pattern must occur in an argument position.
2. Use a single error code for all type abstractions deemed illegal
due to the TypeAbstractions extension being disabled.

* [GHC-78249] was used in function equations, lambdas
* [GHC-17916] was used in constructor patterns
After this change:
* [GHC-78249] is used to report all illegal type abstractions
* [GHC-17916] is no longer used

ghci: Don't set virtualCWD on every iteration
The calls to withVirtualCWD were introduced to fix #2973, but this bug
is no longer reproducible, even when `withVirtualCWD` is dropped.
This cleanup was originally motivated by the performance of :steplocal,
but the performance problem has now been fixed at its root in the next
commit.
Even then, `withVirtualCWD` seems to now be an unnecessary artifact, and
removing it simplifies the interpreter with no apparent drawbacks (testsuite is
also happy with this change)

ghci debugger: improve break/resume control flow
After interpreting bytecode (`evalStmt`), we may want to hand off
control to "GHCi.UI" in order to display an interactive break prompt:
1. When an /active/ breakpoint (one set with :break ...) is hit
2. At any breakpoint, when using :step from a breakpoint
3. At any breakpoint in the same function f, when :steplocal is called
from a breakpoint in f
4. At any breakpoint in the same module, when :stepmodule is used
Whether to pass control to the UI is now fully determined by
`handleRunStatus` which transforms an `EvalStatus_` into an
`ExecResult`. When `ExecBreak` is returned from `handleRunStatus` to
GHCi, it always means GHCi breaks.
`handleRunStatus` determines whether to loop and resume evaluation right away, or
when to return to GHCi (by returning `ExecBreak` or `ExecComplete`).
- (1) is queried using the `BreakpointStatus` message (the
`breakpointStatus` call)
- (2,3,4) are determined by the predicate `breakHere step span`, which
inspects the improved `SingleStep` type to determine whether we care
about this breakpoint even if it is not active.
This refactor solves two big performance problems with the previous control flow:
- We no longer call `withArgs/withProgram` repeatedly in the
break/resume loop, but rather just once "at the top".
- We now avoid computing the expensive `bindLocalsAtBreakpoint` for
breakpoints we'd never inspect.
In the interpreter_steplocal test added, calling `:steplocal` after breaking on `main = fib 25`
now takes 12 seconds rather than 49 seconds on my machine.
```

rts: fix top handler closure type signatures
This commit fixes the runIO/runNonIO closure type signatures in the
RTS which should be extern StgClosure. This allows us to remove an
unnecessary type cast in the C foreign desugaring logic, as well as
unneeded complications of JSFFI desugaring logic that also needs to
generate C stubs that may refer to those top handler closures.
Otherwise, we'll have to take special care to avoid generating "extern
StgClosure" declarations for them as we would for other closures, just
to avoid conflicting type signature error at stub compile time.

ghci: Serialise mi_top_env
When loading core from interface files (or from a bytecode object in
future) it's important to store what the top-level context of a module
is.
Otherwise, when you load the module into GHCi from the interface files,
only exported identifiers from the top-level module are in scope on the
repl.
See the added test which demonstrates what this enables.
The context at the GHCi prompt is everything that's in-scope in the
TopEnvIface module. Since TopEnvIface imports identifier "a", we can
evaluate "a" in the repl.
In addition to all this, we can use this information in order to
implement reifyModule in a more principled manner.
This becomes even more important when you're debugging and what to set
break-points on functions which are not imported.

perf: Speed up the bytecode assembler
This commit contains a number of optimisations to the bytecode
assembler. In programs which generate a large amount of bytecode, the
assembler is called a lot of times on many instructions.
1. Specialise the assembleI function for the two intepreters to avoid
having to materialise the intermediate free-monad like structure.
2. Directly compute the UArray and SmallArray needed rather than going
via the intermediate SizedSeq
3. Use optimised monads
4. Define unrolled "any" and "mapM6" functions which can be inlined
and avoid calling recursive functions.
The resulting generated code is much more direct.

Others were merely re-exposed from GHC.Internal.
Re-exposed modules weren't handled correctly by Haddock, so the

simplifier: Zap Id unfoldings before constructing InScopeSet in simpleOptExpr
Care must be taken to remove unfoldings from `Var`s collected by exprFreeVars
before using them to construct an in-scope set hence `zapIdUnfolding` in `init_subst`.
Consider calling `simpleOptExpr` on an expression like
```
case x of (a,b) -> (x,a)
```
* One of those two occurrences of x has an unfolding (the one in (x,a), with
unfolding x = (a,b)) and the other does not. (Inside a case GHC adds
unfolding-info to the scrutinee's Id.)
* But exprFreeVars just builds a set, so it's a bit random which occurrence is collected.
* Then simpleOptExpr replaces each occurrence of x with the one in the in-scope set.
* Bad bad bad: then the x in case x of ... may be replaced with a version that has an unfolding.

Add flag to control whether self-recompilation information is written to interface
This patch adds the flag -fwrite-if-self-recomp which controls whether
interface files contain the information necessary to answer the
question:
Do I need to recompile myself or is this current interface file
suitable?
Why? Most packages are only built once either by a distribution or cabal
and then placed into an immutable store, after which we will never ask
this question. Therefore we can derive two benefits from omitting this
information.
* Primary motivation: It vastly reduces the surface area for creating
non-deterministic interface files. See issue #10424 which motivated a
proper fix to that issue. Distributions have long contained versions
of GHC which just have broken self-recompilation checking (in order to
get deterministic interface files).
* Secondary motivation: This reduces the size of interface files
slightly.. the `mi_usages` field can be quite big but probably this
isn't such a great benefit.
* Third motivation: Conceptually clarity about which parts of an
interface file are used in order to **communicate** with subsequent
packages about the **interface** for a module. And which parts are
used to self-communicate during recompilation checking.
The main tracking issue is #22188 but fixes issues such as #10424 in a
proper way.

Disable self recomp in release flavour
The interface files that we distribute should not contain any
information which is used by the recompilation checking logic since
source file will never be compiled again.
I am not 100% sure this won't cause unexpected issues, there many be
downstream consumers which are incorrectly using the information from
interfaces, but this commit can be reverted if we detect issues.

Allow defaulting of representational equalities
This commit generalises the defaulting of equality constraints that
was introduced in 663daf8d (with follow-up in 6863503c) to allow
the defaulting of *representational* equality constraints.
Now we default a representational equality
ty1 ~R# ty2
by unifying ty1 ~# ty2.
This allows the following defaulting to take place:
- Coercible alpha[tau] Int ==> alpha := Int
- Coercible (IO beta[tau]) (IO Char) ==> beta := Char

wasm: do not use wasm type reflection in dyld
The wasm dynamic linker used to depend on v8's experimental wasm type
reflection support to generate stub functions when treating GOT.func
items that aren't exported by any loaded library yet. However, as we
work towards wasm ghci browser mode (#25399), we need to ensure the
wasm dyld logic is portable across browsers. So this commit removes
the usage of wasm type reflection in wasm dyld, and it shall only be
added many months later when this feature is widely available in

wasm: revamp JSFFI internal implementation and documentation
This patch revamps the wasm backend's JSFFI internal implementation
and documentation:
- `JSValManager` logic to allocate a key is simplified to simple
bumping. According to experiments with all major browsers, the
internal `Map` would overflow the heap much earlier before we really
exhaust the 32-bit key space, so there's no point in the extra
complexity.
- `freeJSVal` is now idempotent and safe to call more than once. This
is achieved by attaching the `StablePtr#` to the `JSVal#` closure
and nullifying it when calling `freeJSVal`, so the same stable
pointer cannot be double freed.
- `mkWeakJSVal` no longer exposes the internal `Weak#` pointer and
always creates a new `Weak#` on the fly. Otherwise by finalizing
that `Weak#`, user could accidentally drop the `JSVal`, but
`mkWeakJSVal` is only supposed to create a `Weak` that observes the
`JSVal`'s liveliness without actually interfering it.
- `PromisePendingException` is no longer exported since it's never
meant to be caught by user code; it's a severe bug if it's actually
raised at runtime.
- Everything exported by user-facing `GHC.Wasm.Prim` now has proper
haddock documentation.
- Note [JSVal representation for wasm] has been updated to reflect the
new JSVal# memory layout.

One list in ConPat (part of #25127)
This patch changes PrefixCon to use one list instead of two:
-data HsConDetails tyarg arg rec
- = PrefixCon [tyarg] [arg]
+data HsConDetails arg rec
+ = PrefixCon [arg]
| RecCon rec
| InfixCon arg arg
The [tyarg] list is now gone. To understand the effect of this change,
recall that there are three instantiations of HsConDetails:
1. type HsConPatDetails p =
HsConDetails (HsConPatTyArg (NoGhcTc p)) -- tyarg
(LPat p) -- arg
(HsRecFields p (LPat p)) -- rec
2. type HsConDeclH98Details pass =
HsConDetails Void -- tyarg
(HsScaled pass (LBangType pass)) -- arg
(XRec pass [LConDeclField pass]) -- rec
3. type HsPatSynDetails pass =
HsConDetails Void -- tyarg
(LIdP pass) -- arg
[RecordPatSynField pass] -- rec
In cases (2) and (3), tyarg was instantiated to Void, so the [tyarg]
list was always empty. Its removal is basically a no-op.
The interesting case is (1), which is used in ConPat to represent
pattern matching of the form (MkE @tp1 @tp2 p1 p2).
With this patch, its representation is changed as follows:
ConPat "MkE" [tp1, tp2] [p1, p2] -- old
ConPat "MkE" [InvisP tp1, InvisP tp2, p1, p2] -- new
The new mixed-list representation is consintent with lambdas, where
InvisP is already used to deal with \ @tp1 @tp2 p1 p2 -> body.
The immediate effect of the new representation is an improvement to
error messages. Consider the pattern (Con x @t y). Previously it
resulted in a parse error because @t could not occur after x. Now it is
reported as [GHC-14964]. Test case: TyAppPat_MisplacedApplication.
In the long term, this is intended as preparation for #18389 and #25127,
which would make (Con x @t y) potentially valid, e.g. if its type is
Con :: forall a -> forall b. (a, b) -> T
The TH AST is left unchanged for the moment to avoid breakage.

Error message with EmptyCase and RequiredTypeArguments (#25004)
Fix a panic triggered by a combination of \case{} and forall t ->
ghci> let f :: forall (xs :: Type) -> (); f = \case {}
panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
GHC version 9.10.1:
Util: only
The new error message looks like this:
ghci> let f :: forall (xs :: Type) -> (); f = \case {}
<interactive>:5:41: error: [GHC-48010]
• Empty list of alternatives in \case expression
checked against a forall-type: forall xs -> ...
This is achieved as follows:
* A new data type, BadEmptyCaseReason, is now used to describe
why an empty case has been rejected. Used in TcRnEmptyCase.
* HsMatchContextRn is passed to tcMatches, so that the type checker
can attach the syntactic context to the error message.
* tcMatches now rejects type arguments if the list of alternatives is
empty. This is what fixes the bug.

user's guide: consolidate defaulting documentation
This commit adds a new section on defaulting, which consolidates various
parts of documentation surrounding defaulting into one central place.
It explains type class defaulting in detail, extensions to it with
OverloadedStrings, NamedDefaults and ExtendedDefaultRules, as well
as other defaulting mechanisms (e.g. kind-based defaulting such as
RuntimeRep defaulting, and defaulting of equalities).

This commit extends the documentation of the OverloadedStrings extension
with some usage information, in particular suggestions to:
- use default declarations, such as `default (Text)` or
`default IsString(Text)` (with the NamedDefaults extension),
- enable the ExtendedDefaultRules extension to relax the requirement
that a defaultable type variable must only appear in unary standard
classes

Take into account all flags when computing iface_hash
The "interface hash" should contain a hash of everything in the
interface file. We are not doing that yet but at least a start is to
include a hash of everything in `mi_self_recomp`, rather than just
`mi_src_hash` and `mi_usages`.
In particular, this fixes #25837, a bug where we should recompile a
`dyn_hi` file but fail to do so.

Pass -fPIC to dynamicToo001 test to avoid platform dependence issues
On darwin platforms, `-fPIC` is always enabled but on linux it is only
enabled in the dynamic flavour. This can cause a difference in
interface files (see #25836).
The purpose of this test isn't to test module A recompilation, so we
avoid this platform dependency by always passing `-fPIC`.

Remove mi_used_th field from interface files

Remove mi_hpc field from interface files
The `mi_hpc` field is not used for anything as far as I can discern so
there is no reason to record in the private interface of a module that
there are modules in the transitive closure which use `hpc`.
You can freely mix modules which use `-fhpc` and ones which don't.
Whether to recompile a module due to `-fhpc` being passed to the module
itself is determined in `fingerprintDynFlags`.

interfaces: Ensure that forceModIface deeply forces a ModIface
A ModIface is the result of compilation that we keep for a long time in
memory. Therefore, it's very important to manage what we are going to
retain and remove any external references to things which we might have
captured compilation.
If storing your ModIface in memory uses too much space, then store
less things or make it use a more efficient representation.
In the past there have been many space leak bugs by not sufficiently
forcing a ModIface (#15111)
This patch adds all the missing NFData instances for all the places I
could find where we weren't deeply forcing the structure.

Don't report used duplicate record fields as unused
This commit fixes the bug reported in #24035 in which the import of a
duplicate record field could be erroneously reported as unused.
The issue is that an import of the form "import M (fld)" can import
several different 'Name's, and we should only report an error if ALL
of those 'Name's are unused, not if ANY are.
Note [Reporting unused imported duplicate record fields]
in GHC.Rename.Names explains the solution to this problem.

This avoids allocating an intermediate bytestring. I just noticed on a

since it should just copy the contents of the FastString into the
already allocated buffer. It turned out we were going indirectly via a
ByteString.

iface: Store logical parts of ModIface together
The ModIface structure is divided into several logical parts:
1. mi_mod_info: Basic module metadata (name, version, etc.)
2. mi_public: The public interface of the module (the ABI), which includes:
- Exports, declarations, fixities, warnings, annotations
- Class and type family instances
- Rewrite rules and COMPLETE pragmas
- Safe Haskell and package trust information
- ABI hashes for recompilation checking
4. mi_self_recomp: Information needed for self-recompilation checking
(see Note [Self recompilation information in interface files])
5. mi_simplified_core: Optional simplified Core for bytecode generation
(only present when -fwrite-if-simplified-core is enabled)
6. mi_docs: Optional documentation (only present when -haddock is enabled)
7. mi_top_env: Information about the top-level environment of the original source
8. mi_ext_fields: Additional fields for extensibility
This structure helps organize the interface data according to its purpose and usage
patterns. Different parts of the compiler use different fields. By separating them
logically in the interface we can arrange to only deserialize the fields that are needed.
This patch also enforces the invariant that the fields of ModIface are
lazy. If you are keeping a ModIface on disk, then force it using
`forceModIface`. Otherwise, when the `ModIface` is read from disk, only
the parts which are needed from the interface will be deserialised.
In a follow-up patch I will tackle follow-up issues:
* Recompilation checking doesn't take into account exported named defaults (#25855)
* Recompilation checking does not take into account COMPLETE pragmas (#25854)
* mi_deps_ field in an interface is confused about whether the
information is for self-recompilation checking or part of the ABI
(#25844)

Specialising expressions -- at last
This MR addresses #24359, which implements the GHC proposal 493 on SPECIALISE pragmas.
* The old code path (using SpecSig and SpecPrag) still exists.
* The new code path (using SpecSigE and SpecPragE) runs alongside it.
* All SPECIALISE pragmas are routed through the new code path, except
if you give multiple type sigs, when the old code path is still used.
* Main documentation: Note [Handling new-form SPECIALISE pragmas] in
GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig`
Thanks to @sheaf for helping with this MR.
The Big Thing is to introduce
{-# SPECIALISE forall x. f @Int x True #-}
where you can give type arguments and value argument to specialise; and
you can quantify them with forall, just as in Rules.
I thought it was going to be pretty simple, but it was a Long, Long Saga.
Highlights
* Overview Note [Handling new-form SPECIALISE pragmas] in GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig
- New data constructor `SpecSigE` in data type `L.H.S.Binds.Sig`
- New data construtor `SpecPragE` in data type `GHC.Hs.Binds.TcSpecPrag`
- Renamer: uses `checkSpecESigShape` to decide which function to assocate the
SPECIALISE pragma with
- Some of the action is in `GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig.tcSpecPrag`
- The rest is in `GHC.HsToCore.Binds.dsSpec`
* We use a new TcS mode, TcSFullySolve, when simplifying the Wanteds
that arise from the specialise expression. The mechanism is explained
in Note [TcSFullySolve] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad. The reason why we need
to do this is explained in Note [Fully solving constraints for specialisation]
in GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig.
* All of GHC.Tc.Gen.Rule is moved into GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig, because the code is
very closely related.
* The forall'd binders for SPECIALISE are the same as those for a RULE, so I
refactored, introducing data type `L.H.S.Binds.RuleBndrs`, with functions
to rename, zonk, typecheck it. I refactored this data type a bit; nicer now.
* On the LHS of RULES, or SPECIALISE, we want to disable the tricky mechanims
described in Note [Desugaring non-canonical evidence] in GHC.HsToCore.Expr.
Previously it wasn't fully disabled (just set to the empty set), and that
didn't quite work in the new regime.
* There are knock-on changes to Template Haskell.
* For the LHS of a RULE and a SPECIALISE expression, I wanted to simplify
it /without/ inlining the let-bindings for evidence variables. I added
a flag `so_inline` to the SimpleOpt optimiser to support this. The
entry point is `GHC.Core.SimpleOpt.simpleOptExprNoInline`
* Since forever we have had a hack for type variables on the LHS of
RULES. I took the opportunity to tidy this up. The main action is
in the zonker. See GHC.Tc.Zonk.Type Note [Free tyvars on rule LHS],
and especially data construtor `SkolemiseFlexi`
in data type `GHC.Tc.Zonk.Env.ZonkFlexi`
* Move `scopedSort` from GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs to GHC.Core.Predicate
Reason: it now works for Ids as well, and I wanted to use isEvVar,
which is defined in GHC.Core.Predicate
Avoiding module loops meant that instead of exporting GHC.Core.TyCo.Tidy
from GHC.Core.Type, modules now import the former directly.
I also took the opportunity to remove unused exports
from GHC.Core.Type.hs-boot
* Flag stuff:
- Add flag `-Wdeprecated-pragmas` and use it to control the warning when
using old-style SPECIALISE pragmas with multiple type ascriptions,
- Add flag `-Wuseless-specialisations` and use it to control the warning emitted
when GHC determines that a SPECIALISE pragma would have no effect. Don't
want if the SPECIALISE is SPECIALISE INLINE (#4444)
In response to #25389, we continue to generate these seemingly code for these
seemingly useless SPECIALISE pragmas
- Adds deprecations to Template Haskell `pragSpecD` and `pracSpecInlD`,
* Split up old-style SPECIALISE pragmas in GHC.Internal.Float,
GHC.Internal.Numeric, GHC.Internal.Real
* Remove useless SPECIALISE pragmas in Data.Array (updating the array submodule)
Smaller things:
- Update the Users Guide
- Add mention of the changes to the 9.14 release notes as well as
the Template Haskell changelog,

Add -Wrule-lhs-equalities warning
This commit adds a new warning, controlled by the warning flag,
-Wrule-lhs-equalities, which is emitted when the LHS of a RULE gives
rise to equality constraints that previous GHC versions would have
quantified over.
GHC instead discards such RULES, as GHC was never able to generate
a rule template that would ever fire; it's better to be explicit about
the fact that the RULE doesn't work.

Multiplicity annotation on records
Needing to store multiplicity annotations on records triggered a refactoring of AST of data declarations:
Moved HsBangTy and HsRecTy from HsType to HsTypeGhcPsExt, the extension of HsType during parsing, since they are only needed during parsing.
New HsConDeclField that stores all source data shared by all constructor declaration fields: unpackedness, strictness, multiplicity, documentation and the type of the field.
Merged HsMultAnn and HsArrowOf, so all multiplicity annotations share the same data type.
HsBang was no longer needed as a separate type, and was inlined into HsSrcBang.

Remove the Core flattener
This big MR entirely removes the "flattener" that took a type and
replaced each type-family application with a fresh type variable.
The flattener had its origin in the paper
Injective type families for Haskell
But (a) #25657 showed that flattening doesn't really work.
(b) since we wrote the paper we have introduced the so-called
"fine-grained" unifier GHC.Core.Unify, which can return
* SurelyApart
* Unifiable subst
* MaybeApart subst
where the MaybeApart says that the two types are not unifiable by a
substitution, but could (perhaps) be unified "later" after some type
family reductions. This turns out to subsume flattening.
This MR does a major refactor of GHC.Core.Unify to make it capable of
subsuming flattening. The main payload is described in
Note [Apartness and type families]
and its many wrinkles.
The key (non-refactoring) implementation change is to add `um_fam_env`
to the `UMState` in the unification monad.
Careful review with Richard revealed various bugs in the treament of
`kco`, the kind coercion carried around by the unifier, so that is
substantially fixed too: see Note [Kind coercions in Unify].
Compile-time performance is improved by 0.1% with a few improvements over
1% and one worsening by 1.3% namely T9872a. (I have not investigated the
latter.)

This commit replaces unstructured SDoc arguments in error message constructors
with uses of the following two datatypes:
- SigLike: for different kinds of signatures (e.g. standalone kind signatures,
fixity signatures, COMPLETE pragmas, etc)
- Subordinate: for class methods, associated types, and record fields
The following error message constructors now no longer have any SDocs in them:
- TcRnIllegalBuiltinSyntax: SDoc -> SigLike
- MissingBinding: SDoc -> SigLike
- UnknownSubordinate: SDoc -> (Name, Subordinate)
- SuggestMoveToDeclarationSite: SDoc -> SigLike

Reject instance with non-class head in renamer
This commit modifies rnClsInstDecl so that, when renaming, we reject a class
instance declaration in which the head is not a class. Before this change, it
would get rejected in the type-checker, but that meant that the renamer could
emit unhelpful error messages, e.g.:
data Foo m a
instance Foo m where
fmap _ x = case x of
would rather unhelpfully say:
‘fmap’ is not a (visible) method of class ‘Foo’
when of course 'Foo' is not even a class. We now reject the above program
with the following error message:
Illegal instance for data type ‘Foo’.
Instance heads must be of the form
C ty_1 ... ty_n
where ‘C’ is a class.

This commit refactors the 'childGREPriority' function which is used when
renaming subordinate items in export lists and class declarations.
Instead of having a complicated LookupChild parameter, we now simply pass the

- classes can have children that are in the type constructor namespace,
- promoted data constructors should be treated the same as normal data
constructors.

longer have to fake magical wasi file descriptors that are backed by
nodejs blocking I/O! The legacy hack was due to these facts:
- iserv only supported exchanging binary messages via handles backed
by file descriptors
- In wasi you can't access host file descriptors passed by host ghc
- The nodejs wasi implementation only allows mapping host directories
into the wasi vfs, not host file descriptors
- Named pipes with file paths (mkfifo) doesn't work well with nodejs
wasi implementation, causes spurious testsuite failures on macos
But starting from this point, we can fully take advantage of
non-blocking I/O on the js side.

ghci: fix ^C handling for wasm iserv
This commit fixes ^C handling for wasm iserv. Previously we didn't
handle it at all, so ^C would kill the node process and host ghc would
then crash as well. But native ghc with external interpreter can
handle ^C just fine and wasm should be no different. Hence the fix:
wasm iserv exports its signal handler as a js callback to be handled
by the dyld script. Also see added note for details.

wasm: fix post-link.mjs for browser
The wasm ghci browser mode needs to run dyld.mjs in the browser which

wasm: use console.assert in dyld script
This commit uses console.assert() instead of node-specific strict
assert in the dyld script, in order to make it runnable in the
browser. console.assert() only warns and doesn't crash upon assertion
failure, but this is fine; we can always trivially define a strict
assert function shall it be necessary when debugging, and there hasn't
been such an assertion failure seen in the wild for long enough.

wasm: asyncify the dylink.0 custom section parser
This commit refactors the simple binary parser in the dyld script in
charge of parsing the dylink.0 custom section. Previously the parser
was synchronous and operated on the entire input buffer; this was
simple and easy and worked well enough when the input wasm modules are
instantly read from local filesystem.
However, when running dyld in the browser, the wasm modules are
transferred via fetch() requests. The host ghc and the browser might
not be on the same machine, so slow network uplink does need to be
considered. We only need to parse dylink.0 custom section to extract
dependency info, and dylink.0 is the very first custom section in the
wasm shared library binary payload, so the parsing process should not
require fetch() to complete and should return the parsing result asap.
Hence the refactorings in this commit: asyncify the parser, make it
only consume as many bytes as needed by invoking an async consumer
callback. The input is a readable stream from the fetch() response;
once the response is available, the async wasm compilation can start
in the background, and dylink.0 parsing shall end asap which results
in more wasm shared libraries to be loaded earlier. Profit.

wasm: isolate dyld side effects that might require IPC
This commit spins out a DyLDHost class from DyLD that handles side
effects that must be run in the same host environment that runs
wasm32-wasi-ghc. When the dyld script runs in the browser, it'll need
to do IPC to find libraries, fetch wasm library, etc, and the other
side of dyld that runs on nodejs would simply expose the DyLDHost
methods as endpoints for WebSockets/HTTP.

wasm: implement wasm ghci browser mode
This commit implements the rest of dyld logic that delivers the ghci
browser mode:
- The dyld script can now fully run in the browser. It communicates
back with dyld-on-nodejs via WebSockets and also plain HTTP 1.1
requests.
- The host dyld starts a server and acts as a broker between the GHC
process and the browser side. GHC doesn't need to know anything
about the browser mode; no driver flags need to be added and no
recompilation needs to happen, the GHC driver continues to use the
original iserv binary messages protocol.
- The dyld broker doesn't need to parse any message between the
browser dyld and GHC; it merely sets up WebSockets connections to
redirect these messages as well as ^C signals.
- Plain HTTP 1.1 is used for IPC requests (e.g. downloading a wasm
module).
- The dyld broker serves a main.js script that bootstraps iserv in the
browser, and a main.html empty page playground for testing. CORS is
enabled so it could be possible to inject iserv into other websites
and use ghci to play with them.
- All the RPC logic is opaque to the DyLD class, the majority of the
wasm dynamic linker code is already portable and runs fine in
firefox/chrome/webkit.
Closes #25399.

stdout/stderr back to the host when running wasm ghci browser mode. By
default, the wasi console outputs are only available under F12
devtools console, but in case of testing against a mobile browser, the
devtools console may not be readily available, and it would be more
convenient to at least get wasi console output on the host side.
The redirection logic is simple, just adding another two WebSockets
connections that pump the line-buffered textual messages back to
host.

wasm: use MVar as JSFFI import blocking mechanism
Previously, when blocking on a JSFFI import, we push a custom
stg_jsffi_block stack frame and arrange the `promise.then` callback to
write to that stack frame. It turns out we can simply use the good old
MVar to implement the blocking logic, with a few benefits:
- Less maintenance burden. We can drop the stg_jsffi_block related Cmm
code without loss of functionality.
- It interacts better with existing async exception mechanism. throwTo
would properly block the caller if the target thread is masking
async exceptions.

the promise.throwTo logic), and it's better to simply unconditionally
pin it in the JSFFI initialization logic.

TTG: Replace HsUnboundVar with HsHole
Context:
The HsUnboundVar constructor in Language.Haskell.Syntax.Expr contained a
RdrName, which stood in the way of the work towards a dedicated
haskell-syntax library. The constructor was overloaded for unbound
variables, anonymous and named holes, and parse errors.
This commit:
Replaces HsUnboundVar with HsHole. In the surface syntax HsHole only
represents an anonymous expression hole ("_"). It is extended with the
XHole type family.
In the concrete GHC implementation of the language on the other hand,
HsHole is used for "any thing which is not necessarily a valid or fully
defined program fragment, but for which a type can be derived". This use
is similar to how HsUnboundVar was used, but the parse error case is now
made explicit with a ParseError case for XHole. This is in anticipation
of future work on a fault tolerant compilation pipeline.

Re-jig the way that the Simplifier tries RULES
As #25170 showed, if a new RULE appears, it could change the simplifier's
behaviour a bit, even if it never fires; and that messes up deterministic
compilation. (This was particularly nasty if the rule wasn't even transitively
below the module being compiled.)
This MR rejigs the use of `tryRules` so that behaviour does not change
when a new, unrelated RULE is added. It's described in
* Note [When to apply rewrite rules]
* Note [tryRules: plan (BEFORE)]
* Note [tryRules: plan (AFTER)]
The main change is in the refactored version of
* simplOutId
* rebuildCall
The little state machine that was embedded in ArgInfo is gone.
As I wandered around the Simplifier I also found opportunities for
some loosely-related refactoring:
* In several places, the /substitution/ in the SimpleEnv is empty;
all we care about is the in-scope set and the flags. So
- I made a synonym `SimplEnvIS` that embodies that invariant,
- used it in a number of type signatures (notably `rebuild`)
- added some assertion checks (via `checkSimlEnvIS`)
* I moved the hanlding of `runRW` out of `rebuildCall` (where we
would have to test repeatedly) and into the new `simplOutId`, which
fires up `rebuildCall`. Now it is only tested once.

Fix deadlock/loop in interface rehydration (#25858)
In #25858, GHC hangs when processing modules with class defaults due to a
circular dependency in the interface rehydration process. The deadlock/loop
occurred when eager class defaults rehydration accessed not-yet-complete module details.
To fix the immediate deadlock/loop.
`tcIfaceDefaults` is refactored, we use the class name directly from the iface
and use `forM` for lazy loading the class, which algins with the handling of other fields
of ModDetails. This laziness ensure rehydration waits for HomePackageTable (HPT) to
be updated and prevent premature evaluation of ModDetails inside `fixIO``.
As suggested by Matthew, class defaults importing is also refactored
to align with the compiler's established interface loading conventions.
- add class defaults field to ExternalPackageState (EPS).
- rehydrate and store class defaults in EPS at `loadInterface`.
- Instead of using `tcIfaceDefaults` in `tcRnImports`, we add and use
`tcGetClsDefaults` to read defaults directly from HPT or EPS
when importing modules.
Tests:
- T25858, T25858v1-2: Test class hydration in defaults
- T25858v3-4: Test type list hydration in defaults
New Note [Tricky rehydrating IfaceDefaults loop] is added.

GHC settings: always unescape escaped spaces
In #25204, it was noted that GHC didn't properly deal with having
spaces in its executable path, as it would compute an invalid path
for the C compiler.
The original fix in 31bf85ee49fe2ca0b17eaee0774e395f017a9373 used a
trick: escape spaces before splitting up flags into a list. This fixed
the behaviour with extra flags (e.g. -I), but forgot to also unescape
for non-flags, e.g. for an executable path (such as the C compiler).
This commit rectifies this oversight by consistently unescaping the
spaces that were introduced in order to split up argument lists.

Finer-grained recompilation checking for exports
This commit refines the recompilation checking logic, to avoid
recompiling modules with an explicit import list when the modules they
import start exporting new items.
More specifically, when:
1. module N imports module M,
2. M is changed, but in a way that:
a. preserves the exports that N imports
b. does not introduce anything that forces recompilation downstream,
such as orphan instances
then we no longer require recompilation of N.
Note that there is more to (2a) as initially meets the eye:
- if N includes a whole module or "import hiding" import of M,
then we require that the export list of M does not change,
- if N only includes explicit imports, we check that the imported
items don't change, e.g.
- if we have @import M(T(K, f), g)@, we must check that N
continues to export all these identifiers, with the same Avail
structure (i.e. we should error if N stops bundling K or f with
T)
- if we have @import M(T(..))@, we must check that the children
of T have not changed
See Note [When to recompile when export lists change?] in GHC.Iface.Recomp.
This is all tested in the new tests RecompExports{1,2,3,4,5}

Move logic to find and set Breakpoint to GHC
Breakpoints are uniquely identified by a module and an index unique
within that module. `ModBreaks` of a Module contains arrays mapping from
this unique breakpoint index to information about each breakpoint. For
instance, `modBreaks_locs` stores the `SrcSpan` for each breakpoint.
To find a breakpoint using the line number you need to go through all
breakpoints in the array for a given module and look at the line and
column stored in the `SrcSpan`s. Similarly for columns and finding
breakpoints by name.
This logic previously lived within the `GHCi` application sources,
however, it is common to any GHC applications wanting to set
breakpoints, like the upcoming `ghc-debugger`.
This commit moves this logic for finding and setting breakpoints to the
GHC library so it can be used by both `ghci` and `ghc-debugger`.

Refactor and move logic for identifier breakpoints
Breakpoints can be set on functions using syntax of the form
`[Module.]function`. The parsing, resolution (e.g. inferring implicit
module), and validation of this syntax for referring to functions was
tightly coupled with its GHCi use.
This commit extracts the general purpose bits of resolving this syntax
into `GHC.Runtime.Debugger.Breakpoints` so it can be further used by
other GHC applications and to improve the code structure of GHCi.
Moreover, a few utilities that do splitting and joining of identifiers
as strings were moved to `GHC.Runtime.Eval.Utils`, which also can be
used in the future to clean up `GHC.Runtime.Eval` a bit.

debugger: Add breakpoints to every Stmt
While single-stepping through a Haskell program we stop at every
breakpoint. However, we don't introduce breakpoints at every single
expression (e.g. single variables) because they would be too many and
uninteresting.
That said, in a do-block, it is expected that stepping over would break
at every line, even if it isn't particularly interesting (e.g. a single
arg like getArgs). Moreover, let-statements in do-blocks, despite only
being evaluated once needed, lead to surprising jumps while stepping
through because some have outermost (outside the let) breakpoints
while others don't.
This commit makes every statement in a do-block have a breakpoint.
This leads to predictable stepping through in a do-block.
Duplicate breakpoints in the same location are avoided using the
existing blacklist mechanism, which was missing a check in one relevant place.

TcRnIllegalTermLevelUse: simpler error when possible
This commit makes GHC emit a simple error message in the case of an
illegal term-level use of a data constructor: we will try to report an
out-of-scope error instead of a "Illegal term level use" error, as the
latter might be a bit overwhelming for newcomers.
We do this when we have a data constructor import suggestion to provide
to the user. For example:
module M where { data A = A }
module N where
import M(A)
x = Bool
-- Illegal term-level use of Bool
y = A
-- Data constructor not in scope: A.
-- Perhaps add 'A' to the import list of 'M'.
This commit also revamps the "similar names" suggestion mechanism,
and in particular its treatment of name spaces. Now, which name spaces
we suggest is based solely on what we are looking for, and no longer on
the NameSpace of the Name we have. This is because, for illegal term-level
use errors, it doesn't make much sense to change the suggestions based
on the fact that we resolved to e.g. a type constructor/class; what
matters is what we were expecting to see in this position.
See GHC.Rename.Unbound.{suggestionIsRelevant,relevantNameSpace} as well
as the new constructors to GHC.Tc.Errors.Types.WhatLooking.

Retry type/class declarations and instances to account for non-lexical

This patch improves the kind checker's ability to use type instances in kind
checking of other declarations in the same module.
* Key change: tcTyAndClassDecls now does multiple passes over the TyClGroups,
as long as it is able to make progress.
See the new Note [Retrying TyClGroups] in GHC.Tc.TyCl
* Supporting change: FVs of a TyClGroup are now recorded in its extension
field, namely XCTyClGroup.
See the new Note [Prepare TyClGroup FVs] in GHC.Rename.Module
* Instances are no longer inserted at the earliest positions where their FVs
are bound. This is a simplification.
See the new Note [Put instances at the end] in GHC.Rename.Module
* Automatic unpacking is now more predictable, but fewer fields get unpacked
by default. Use explicit {-# UNPACK #-} pragmas instead.

checkFamApp: don't be so eager to cycle break
As remarked in #25933, a pure refactoring of checkTyEqRhs in
ab77fc8c7adebd610aa0bd99d653f9a6cc78a374 inadvertently changed behaviour,

This commit refactors 'GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.checkFamApp' in a way that
should restore the old behaviour, so that, when possible, we first
recur into the arguments and only introduce a cycle breaker if this
recursion fails (e.g. due to an occurs check failure).

driver: Add support for "Fixed" nodes in the ModuleGraph
A fixed node in the module graph is one which we presume is already
built. It's therefore up to the user to make sure that the interface
file and any relevant artifacts are available for a fixed node.
Fixed/Compile nodes are represented by the ModuleNodeInfo type, which
abstracts the common parts of Fixed/Compile nodes with accessor
functions of type `ModuleNodeInfo -> ...`.
Fixed nodes can only depend on other fixed nodes. This invariant can be
checked by the function `checkModuleGraph` or `mkModuleGraphChecked`.
--make mode is modified to work with fixed mode. In order to "compile" a
fixed node, the artifacts are just loaded into the HomePackageTable.
Currently nothing in the compiler will produce Fixed nodes but this is
tested with the FixedNodes GHC API test.
In subsequent patches we are going to remove the ExternalModuleGraph and
use Fixed nodes for modules in the module graph in oneshot mode.

ci: remove manual case of ghc-wasm-meta downstream testing jobs
This patch removes the manual case of ghc-wasm-meta downstream testing
jobs; now the only way of including them in the pipeline and running
them is via the test-wasm label.
The reason of the removal is it proves to be problematic for MRs with
only the wasm label; the wasm job would succeed, then the pipeline
status would be waiting for manual action instead of succeeding. There
needs to be separate jobs for the label-triggered and manual-triggered
cases, but I don't think it's worth that extra complexity, the
label-triggered case is already sufficient.

Reject puns in T2T (#24153)
This patch implements pun detection in T2T. Consider:
x = 42
f, g :: forall a -> ...
f (type x) = g x
In accordance with the specification, the `g x` function call is renamed
as a term, so `x` refers to the top-level binding `x = 42`, not to the
type variable binding `type x` as one might expect.
This is somewhat counterintuitive because `g` expects a type argument.
Forbidding puns in T2T allows us to produce a helpful error message:
Test.hs:5:16: error: [GHC-09591]
Illegal punned variable occurrence in a required type argument.
The name ‘x’ could refer to:
‘x’ defined at Test.hs:3:1
‘x’ bound at Test.hs:5:9

driver: Use ModuleGraph for oneshot and --make mode
This patch uses the `hsc_mod_graph` field for both oneshot and --make
mode. Therefore, if part of the compiler requires usage of the module
graph, you do so in a uniform way for the two different modes.
The `ModuleGraph` describes the relationship between the modules in the
home package and units in external packages. The `ModuleGraph` can be
queried when information about the transitive closure of a package is
needed. For example, the primary use of the ModuleGraph from within the
compiler is in the loader, which needs to know the transitive closure of
a module so it can load all the relevant objects for evaluation.
In --make mode, downsweep computes the ModuleGraph before any
compilation starts.
In oneshot mode, a thunk is created at the start of compilation, which
when forced will compute the module graph beneath the current module.
The thunk is only forced at the moment when the user uses Template
Haskell.
Finally, there are some situations where we need to discover what
dependencies to load but haven't loaded a module graph at all. In this
case, there is a fallback which computes the transitive closure on the
fly and doesn't cache the result. Presumably if you are going to call
getLinkDeps a lot, you would compute the right ModuleGraph before you
started.
Importantly, this removes the ExternalModuleGraph abstraction. This was quite
awkward to work with since it stored information about the home package
inside the EPS.
This patch will also be very useful when implementing explicit level
imports, which requires more significant use of the module graph in
order to determine which level instances are available at.

Refactor Handling of Multiple Default Declarations
Fixes: #25912, #25914, #25934
Previously, GHC discarded all loaded defaults (tcg_default) when local
defaults were encountered during typechecking. According to the
exportable-named-default proposal (sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3), local
defaults should be merged into tcg_default, retaining any defaults
already present while overriding where necessary.
Key Changes:
* Introduce DefaultProvenance to track the origin of default declarations
(local, imported, or built-in), replacing the original cd_module
in ClassDefaults with cd_provenance :: DefaultProvenance.
* Rename tcDefaults to tcDefaultDecls, limiting its responsibility to only
converting renamed class defaults into ClassDefaults.
* Add extendDefaultEnvWithLocalDefaults to merge local defaults into the
environment, with proper duplication checks:
- Duplicate local defaults for a class trigger an error.
- Local defaults override imported or built-in defaults.
* Update and add related notes: Note [Builtin class defaults],
Note [DefaultProvenance].
* Add regression tests: T25912, T25914, T25934.

Fix specialisation of incoherent instances (fixes #25883)
GHC normally assumes that class constraints are canonical, meaning that
the specialiser is allowed to replace one dictionary argument with another
provided that they have the same type. The `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
flag alters INCOHERENT instance definitions so that they will prevent
specialisation in some cases, by inserting `nospec`.
This commit fixes a bug in 7124e4ad76d98f1fc246ada4fd7bf64413ff2f2e, which
treated some INCOHERENT instance matches as if `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
was in effect, thereby unnecessarily preventing specialisation. In addition
it updates the relevant `Note [Rules for instance lookup]` and adds a new
`Note [Canonicity for incoherent matches]`.

Simplifier: Constant fold invald tagToEnum# calls to bottom expr.
When applying tagToEnum# to a out-of-range value it's best to simply
constant fold it to a bottom expression. That potentially allows more
dead code elimination and makes debugging easier.

ghci: Use loadInterfaceForModule rather than loadSrcInterface in mkTopLevEnv
loadSrcInterface takes a user given `ModuleName` and resolves it to the
module which needs to be loaded (taking into account module
renaming/visibility etc).
loadInterfaceForModule takes a specific module and loads it.
The modules in `ImpDeclSpec` have already been resolved to the actual
module to get the information from during renaming. Therefore we just
need to fetch the precise interface from disk (and not attempt to rename
it again).

Add `UnitId` to `EvalBreakpoint`
The `EvalBreakpoint` is used to communicate that a breakpoint was
encountered during code evaluation.
This `EvalBreakpoint` needs to be converted to an `InternalBreakpointId`
which stores a `Module` to uniquely find the correct `Module` in the
Home Package Table.
The `EvalBreakpoint` used to store only a `ModuleName` which is then
converted to a `Module` based on the currently active home unit.
This is incorrect in the face of multiple home units, the break point
could be in an entirely other home unit!
To fix this, we additionally store the `UnitId` of the `Module` in
`EvalBreakpoint` to later reconstruct the correct `Module`
All of the changes are the consequence of extending `EvalBreakpoint`
with the additional `ShortByteString` of the `UnitId`.
For performance reasons, we store the `ShortByteString` backing the
`UnitId` directly, avoiding marshalling overhead.

Implement Explicit Level Imports for Template Haskell
This commit introduces the `ExplicitLevelImports` and
`ImplicitStagePersistence` language extensions as proposed in GHC
Proposal #682.
Key Features
------------
- `ExplicitLevelImports` adds two new import modifiers - `splice` and
`quote` - allowing precise control over the level at which imported
identifiers are available
- `ImplicitStagePersistence` (enabled by default) preserves existing
path-based cross-stage persistence behavior
- `NoImplicitStagePersistence` disables implicit cross-stage
persistence, requiring explicit level imports
Benefits
--------
- Improved compilation performance by reducing unnecessary code generation
- Enhanced IDE experience with faster feedback in `-fno-code` mode
- Better dependency tracking by distinguishing compile-time and runtime dependencies
- Foundation for future cross-compilation improvements
This implementation enables the separation of modules needed at
compile-time from those needed at runtime, allowing for more efficient
compilation pipelines and clearer code organization in projects using
Template Haskell.
Implementation Notes
--------------------
The level which a name is availble at is stored in the 'GRE', in the normal
GlobalRdrEnv. The function `greLevels` returns the levels which a specific GRE
is imported at. The level information for a 'Name' is computed by `getCurrentAndBindLevel`.
The level validity is checked by `checkCrossLevelLifting`.
Instances are checked by `checkWellLevelledDFun`, which computes the level an
instance by calling `checkWellLevelledInstanceWhat`, which sees what is
available at by looking at the module graph.
Modifications to downsweep
--------------------------
Code generation is now only enabled for modules which are needed at
compile time.
See the Note [-fno-code mode] for more information.
Uniform error messages for level errors
---------------------------------------
All error messages to do with levels are now reported uniformly using
the `TcRnBadlyStaged` constructor.
Error messages are uniformly reported in terms of levels.
0 - top-level
1 - quote level
-1 - splice level
The only level hard-coded into the compiler is the top-level in
GHC.Types.ThLevelIndex.topLevelIndex.
Uniformly refer to levels and stages
------------------------------------
There was much confusion about levels vs stages in the compiler.
A level is a semantic concept, used by the typechecker to ensure a
program can be evaluated in a well-staged manner.
A stage is an operational construct, program evaluation proceeds in
stages.
Deprecate -Wbadly-staged-types
------------------------------
`-Wbadly-staged-types` is deprecated in favour of `-Wbadly-levelled-types`.
Lift derivation changed
-----------------------
Derived lift instances will now not generate code with expression
quotations.
Before:
```
data A = A Int deriving Lift
=>
lift (A x) = [| A $(lift x) |]
```
After:
```
lift (A x) = conE 'A `appE` (lift x)
```
This is because if you attempt to derive `Lift` in a module where
`NoImplicitStagePersistence` is enabled, you would get an infinite loop
where a constructor was attempted to be persisted using the instance you
are currently defining.
GHC API Changes
---------------
The ModuleGraph now contains additional information about the type of
the edges (normal, quote or splice) between modules. This is abstracted
using the `ModuleGraphEdge` data type.
Fixes #25828

Fix infelicities in the Specialiser
On the way to #23109 (unary classes) I discovered some infelicities
(or maybe tiny bugs, I forget) in the type-class specialiser.
I also tripped over #25965, an outright bug in the rule matcher
Specifically:
* Refactor: I enhanced `wantCallsFor`, whih previously always said
`True`, to discard calls of class-ops, data constructors etc. This is
a bit more efficient; and it means we don't need to worry about
filtering them out later.
* Fix: I tidied up some tricky logic that eliminated redundant
specialisations. It wasn't working correctly. See the expanded
Note [Specialisations already covered], and
(MP3) in Note [Specialising polymorphic dictionaries].
See also the new top-level `alreadyCovered`
function, which now goes via `GHC.Core.Rules.ruleLhsIsMoreSpecific`
I also added a useful Note [The (CI-KEY) invariant]
* Fix #25965: fixed a tricky bug in the `go_fam_fam` in
`GHC.Core.Unify.uVarOrFam`, which allows matching to succeed
without binding all type varibles.
I enhanced Note [Apartness and type families] some more
* #25703. This ticket "just works" with -fpolymorphic-specialisation;
but I was surprised that it worked! In this MR I added documentation
to Note [Interesting dictionary arguments] to explain; and tests to
ensure it stays fixed.

Track rewriter sets more accurately in constraint solving
The key change, which fixed #25440, is to call `recordRewriter` in
GHC.Tc.Solver.Rewrite.rewrite_exact_fam_app. This missing call meant
that we were secretly rewriting a Wanted with a Wanted, but not really
noticing; and that led to a very bad error message, as you can see
in the ticket.
But of course that led me into rabbit hole of other refactoring around
the RewriteSet code:
* Improve Notes [Wanteds rewrite Wanteds]
* Zonk the RewriterSet in `zonkCtEvidence` rather than only in GHC.Tc.Errors.
This is tidier anyway (e.g. de-clutters debug output), and helps with the
next point.
* In GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality.inertsCanDischarge, don't replace a constraint
with no rewriters with an equal constraint that has many. See
See (CE4) in Note [Combining equalities]
* Move zonkRewriterSet and friends from GHC.Tc.Zonk.Type into
GHC.Tc.Zonk.TcType, where they properly belong.
A handful of tests get better error messages.

Fix a bad untouchability bug im simplifyInfer
This patch addresses #26004. The root cause was that simplifyInfer
was willing to unify variables "far out". The fix, in
runTcSWithEvBinds', is to initialise the inert set given-eq level with
the current level. See
(TGE6) in Note [Tracking Given equalities]
in GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet
Two loosely related refactors:
* Refactored approximateWCX to return just the free type
variables of the un-quantified constraints. That avoids duplication
of work (these free vars are needed in simplifyInfer) and makes it
clearer that the constraints themselves are irrelevant.
* A little local refactor of TcSMode, which reduces the number of
parameters to runTcSWithEvBinds

Take subordinate 'type' specifiers into account
This patch fixes multiple bugs (#22581, #25983, #25984, #25991)
in name resolution of subordinate import lists.
Bug #22581
----------
In subordinate import lists, the use of the `type` namespace specifier
used to be ignored. For example, this import statement was incorrectly
accepted:
import Prelude (Bool(type True))
Now it results in an error message:
<interactive>:2:17: error: [GHC-51433]
In the import of ‘Prelude’:
a data type called ‘Bool’ is exported,
but its subordinate item ‘True’ is not in the type namespace.
Bug #25983
----------
In subordinate import lists within a `hiding` clause, non-existent
items led to a poor warning message with -Wdodgy-imports. Consider:
import Prelude hiding (Bool(X))
The warning message for this import statement used to misreport the
cause of the problem:
<interactive>:3:24: warning: [GHC-56449] [-Wdodgy-imports]
In the import of ‘Prelude’:
an item called ‘Bool’ is exported, but it is a type.
Now the warning message is correct:
<interactive>:2:24: warning: [GHC-10237] [-Wdodgy-imports]
In the import of ‘Prelude’:
a data type called ‘Bool’ is exported, but it does not export
any constructors or record fields called ‘X’.
Bug #25984
----------
In subordinate import lists within a `hiding` clause, non-existent
items resulted in the entire import declaration being discarded.
For example, this program was incorrectly accepted:
import Prelude hiding (Bool(True,X))
t = True
Now it results in an error message:
<interactive>:2:5: error: [GHC-88464]
Data constructor not in scope: True
Bug #25991
----------
In subordinate import lists, it was not possible to refer to a class
method if there was an associated type of the same name:
module M_helper where
class C a b where
type a # b
(#) :: a -> b -> ()
module M where
import M_helper (C((#)))
This import declaration failed with:
M.hs:2:28: error: [GHC-10237]
In the import of ‘M_helper’:
an item called ‘C’ is exported, but it does not export any children
(constructors, class methods or field names) called ‘#’.
Now it is accepted.
Summary
-------
The changes required to fix these bugs are almost entirely confined to
GHC.Rename.Names. Other than that, there is a new error constructor
BadImportNonTypeSubordinates with error code [GHC-51433].
Test cases:
T22581a T22581b T22581c T22581d

very modest, but so is the cost anyway; if you are using `freeJSVal`
at all then you care about every potential chance to improve

rts/linker: Don't fail due to RTLD_NOW
In !12264 we started using the NativeObj machinery introduced some time
ago for loading of shared objects. One of the side-effects of this
change is shared objects are now loaded eagerly (i.e. with `RTLD_NOW`).
This is needed by NativeObj to ensure full visibility of the mappings of
the loaded object, which is in turn needed for safe shared object
unloading.
Unfortunately, this change subtly regressed, causing compilation
failures in some programs. Specifically, shared objects which refer to
undefined symbols (e.g. which may be usually provided by either the
executable image or libraries loaded via `dlopen`) will fail to load
with eager binding. This is problematic as GHC loads all package
dependencies while, e.g., evaluating TemplateHaskell splices. This
results in compilation failures in programs depending upon (but not
using at compile-time) packages with undefined symbol references.
To mitigate this NativeObj now first attempts to load an object via
eager binding, reverting to lazy binding (and disabling unloading) on
failure.
See Note [Don't fail due to RTLD_NOW].
Fixes #25943.

Allow the 'data' keyword in import/export lists (#25899)
This patch introduces the 'data' namespace specifier in import and
export lists. The intended use is to import data constructors without
their parent type constructors, e.g.
import Data.Proxy as D (data Proxy)
type DP = D.Proxy -- promoted data constructor
Additionally, it is possible to use 'data' to explicitly qualify any
data constructors or terms, incl. operators and field selectors
import Prelude (Semigroup(data (<>)))
import Data.Function (data (&))
import Data.Monoid (data Dual, data getDual)
x = Dual "Hello" <> Dual "World" & getDual
The implementation mostly builds on top of the existing logic for the
'type' and 'pattern' namespace specifiers, plus there are a few tweaks
to how we generate suggestions in error messages.

Track rewriter sets more accurately in constraint solving
This MR addresses #26003, by refactoring the arcane
intricacies of Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds].
NB: now retitled to
Note [Equalities with heterogeneous kinds].
and the main Note for this MR.
In particular:
* Abandon invariant (COERCION-HOLE) in Note [Unification preconditions] in
GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.
* Abandon invariant (TyEq:CH)) in Note [Canonical equalities] in
GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint.
* Instead: add invariant (REWRITERS) to Note [Unification preconditions]:
unify only if the constraint has an empty rewriter set.
Implementation:
* In canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification, skip trying unification if there is a
non-empty rewriter set.
* To do this, make sure the rewriter set is zonked; do so in selectNextWorkItem,
which also deals with prioritisation.
* When a coercion hole is filled, kick out inert equalities that have that hole

fail. In partiular, add a "When unifying..." explanation when the
representation-polymorphism check arose from another constraint.

rts: fix rts_clearMemory logic when sanity checks are enabled
This commit fixes an RTS assertion failure when invoking
rts_clearMemory with +RTS -DS. -DS implies -DZ which asserts that free
blocks contain 0xaa as the designated garbage value. Also adds the
sanity way to rts_clearMemory test to prevent future regression.
Closes #26011.
ChatGPT Codex automatically diagnosed the issue and proposed the
initial patch in a single shot, given a GHC checkout and the following
prompt:
---
Someone is reporting the following error when attempting to use `rts_clearMemory` with the RTS option `-DS`:
```
test.wasm: internal error: ASSERTION FAILED: file rts/sm/Storage.c, line 1216
(GHC version 9.12.2.20250327 for wasm32_unknown_wasi)
Please report this as a GHC bug: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
```
What's the culprit? How do I look into this issue?
---
I manually reviewed & revised the patch, tested and submitted it.

compiler: do not allocate strings in bytecode assembler
This patch refactors the compiler to avoid allocating iserv buffers
for BCONPtrStr at assemble-time. Now BCONPtrStr ByteStrings are
recorded as a part of CompiledByteCode, and actual allocation only
happens at link-time. This refactoring is necessary for adding
bytecode serialization functionality, as explained by the revised
comments in this commit.

compiler: remove FFIInfo bookkeeping in BCO
This commit removes the bc_ffis field from CompiledByteCode
completely, as well as all the related bookkeeping logic in
GHC.StgToByteCode. bc_ffis is actually *unused* in the rest of GHC
codebase! It is merely a list of FFIInfo, which is just a remote
pointer of the libffi ffi_cif struct; once we allocate the ffi_cif
struct and put its pointer in a CCALL instruction, we'll never free it
anyway. So there is no point of bookkeeping.

has the same semantics of BCONPtrStr, except it contains a FastString
instead of a ByteString. By using BCONPtrFS to represent top level
string literals that are already FastString in the compilation
pipeline, we enjoy the FastString interning logic and avoid allocating
a bunch of redundant ByteStrings for the same FastStrings, especially
when we lower the BRK_FUN instruction.

Interpreter: Add limited support for direct primop evaluation.
This commit adds support for a number of primops directly
to the interpreter. This avoids the indirection of going
through the primop wrapper for those primops speeding interpretation
of optimized code up massively.
Code involving IntSet runs about 25% faster with optimized core and these
changes. For core without breakpoints it's even more pronouced and I
saw reductions in runtime by up to 50%.
Running GHC itself in the interpreter was sped up by ~15% through this
change.
Additionally this comment does a few other related changes:
testsuite:
* Run foundation test in ghci and ghci-opt ways to test these
primops.
* Vastly expand the foundation test to cover all basic primops
by comparing result with the result of calling the wrapper.
Interpreter:
* When pushing arguments for interpreted primops extend each argument to
at least word with when pushing. This avoids some issues with big
endian. We can revisit this if it causes performance issues.
* Restructure the stack chunk check logic. There are now macros for
read accesses which might cross stack chunk boundries and macros which
omit the checks which are used when we statically know we access an
address in the current stack chunk.

QuickLook: do a shape test before unifying
This commit ensures we do a shape test before unifying. This ensures
we don't try to unify a TyVarTv with a non-tyvar, e.g.
alpha[tyv] := Int
On the way, we refactor simpleUnifyCheck:
1. Move the checkTopShape check into simpleUnifyCheck
2. Refactors simpleUnifyCheck to return a value of the new type
SimpleUnifyResult type. Now, simpleUnifyCheck returns "can unify",
"cannot unify" or "dunno" (with "cannot unify" being the new result
it can return). Now:
- touchabilityTest is included; it it fails we return "cannot unify"
- checkTopShape now returns "cannot unify" instead of "dunno" upon failure
3. Move the call to simpleUnifyCheck out of checkTouchableTyVarEq.
After that, checkTouchableTyVarEq becames a simple call to
checkTyEqRhs, so we inline it.
This allows the logic in canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification to be simplified.
In particular, we now avoid calling 'checkTopShape' twice.
Two further changes suggested by Simon were also implemented:
- In canEqCanLHSFinish, if checkTyEqRhs returns PuFail with
'do_not_prevent_rewriting', we now **continue with this constraint**.
This allows us to use the constraint for rewriting.
- checkTyEqRhs now has a top-level check to avoid flattening a tyfam app
in a top-level equality of the form alpha ~ F tys, as this is
going around in circles. This simplifies the implementation without
any change in behaviour.

FixedRuntimeRepError: omit unhelpful explanation
This commit tweaks the FixedRuntimeRepError case of pprTcSolverReportMsg,
to avoid including an explanation which refers to a type variable that
appears nowhere else.
For example, the old error message could look like the following:
The pattern binding does not have a fixed runtime representation.
Its type is:
T :: TYPE R
Cannot unify ‘R’ with the type variable ‘c0’
because the former is not a concrete ‘RuntimeRep’.
With this commit, we now omit the last two lines, because the concrete
type variable (here 'c0') does not appear in the type displayed to the
user (here 'T :: TYPE R').

Refactor handling of imported COMPLETE pragmas
from the HPT
Previously, we imported COMPLETE pragmas from all modules in the Home
Package Table (HPT) during type checking. However, since !13675, there
may be non-below modules in the HPT from the dependency tree that we do
not want to import COMPLETE pragmas from. This refactor changes the way
we handle COMPLETE pragmas from the HPT to only import them from modules
that are "below" the current module in the HPT.
- Add hugCompleteSigsBelow to filter COMPLETE pragmas from "below"
modules in the HPT, mirroring hugRulesBelow.
- Move responsibility for calling hugCompleteSigsBelow to tcRnImports,
storing the result in the new tcg_complete_match_env field of TcGblEnv.
- Update getCompleteMatchesTcM to use tcg_complete_match_env.
This refactor only affects how COMPLETE pragmas are imported from the
HPT, imports from external packages are unchanged.

Make GHCi commands compatible with multiple home units
=== Design
We enable all GHCi features that were previously guarded by the `inMulti`
option.
GHCi supported multiple home units up to a certain degree for quite a while now.
The supported feature set was limited, due to a design impasse:
One of the home units must be "active", e.g., there must be one `HomeUnit`
whose `UnitId` is "active" which is returned when calling
```haskell
do
hscActiveUnitId <$> getSession
```
This makes sense in a GHC session, since you are always compiling a particular
Module, but it makes less intuitive sense in an interactive session.
Given an expression to evaluate, we can't easily tell in which "context" the expression
should be parsed, typechecked and evaluated.
That's why initially, most of GHCi features, except for `:reload`ing were disabled
if the GHCi session had more than one `HomeUnitEnv`.
We lift this restriction, enabling all features of GHCi for the multiple home unit case.
To do this, we fundamentally change the `HomeUnitEnv` graph to be multiple home unit first.
Instead of differentiating the case were we have a single home unit and multiple,
we now always set up a multiple home unit session that scales seamlessly to an arbitrary
amount of home units.
We introduce two new `HomeUnitEnv`s that are always added to the `HomeUnitGraph`.
They are:
The "interactive-ghci", called the `interactiveGhciUnit`, contains the same
`DynFlags` that are used by the `InteractiveContext` for interactive evaluation
of expressions.
This `HomeUnitEnv` is only used on the prompt of GHCi, so we may refer to it as
"interactive-prompt" unit.
See Note [Relation between the `InteractiveContext` and `interactiveGhciUnitId`]
for discussing its role.
And the "interactive-session"", called `interactiveSessionUnit` or
`interactiveSessionUnitId`, which is used for loading Scripts into
GHCi that are not `Target`s of any home unit, via `:load` or `:add`.
Both of these "interactive" home units depend on all other `HomeUnitEnv`s that
are passed as arguments on the cli.
Additionally, the "interactive-ghci" unit depends on `interactive-session`.
We always evaluate expressions in the context of the
"interactive-ghci" session.
Since "interactive-ghci" depends on all home units, we can import any `Module`
from the other home units with ease.
As we have a clear `HomeUnitGraph` hierarchy, we can set `interactiveGhciUnitId`
as the active home unit for the full duration of the GHCi session.
In GHCi, we always set `interactiveGhciUnitId` to be the currently active home unit.
=== Implementation Details
Given this design idea, the implementation is relatively straight
forward.
The core insight is that a `ModuleName` is not sufficient to identify a
`Module` in the `HomeUnitGraph`. Thus, large parts of the PR is simply
about refactoring usages of `ModuleName` to prefer `Module`, which has a
`Unit` attached and is unique over the `HomeUnitGraph`.
Consequentially, most usages of `lookupHPT` are likely to be incorrect and have
been replaced by `lookupHugByModule` which is keyed by a `Module`.
In `GHCi/UI.hs`, we make sure there is only one location where we are
actually translating `ModuleName` to a `Module`:
* `lookupQualifiedModuleName`
If a `ModuleName` is ambiguous, we detect this and report it to the
user.
To avoid repeated lookups of `ModuleName`s, we store the `Module` in the
`InteractiveImport`, which additionally simplifies the interface
loading.
A subtle detail is that the `DynFlags` of the `InteractiveContext` are
now stored both in the `HomeUnitGraph` and in the `InteractiveContext`.
In UI.hs, there are multiple code paths where we are careful to update
the `DynFlags` in both locations.
Most importantly in `addToProgramDynFlags`.
---
There is one metric increase in this commit:
-------------------------
Metric Increase:
T4029
-------------------------
It is an increase from 14.4 MB to 16.1 MB (+11.8%) which sounds like a
pretty big regression at first.
However, we argue this increase is solely caused by using more data
structures for managing multiple home units in the GHCi session.
In particular, due to the design decision of using three home units, the
base memory usage increases... but by how much?
A big contributor is the `UnitState`, of which we have three now, which
on its own 260 KB per instance. That makes an additional memory usage of
520 KB, already explaining a third of the overall memory usage increase.
Then we store more elements in the `HomeUnitGraph`, we have more
`HomeUnitEnv` entries, etc...
While we didn't chase down each byte, we looked at the memory usage over time
for both `-hi` and `-hT` profiles and can say with confidence while the memory
usage increased slightly, we did not introduce any space leak, as
the graph looks almost identical as the memory usage graph of GHC HEAD.
---

* After renaming, the decision taken to attempt to implicitly lift a
variable is stored in the `XXUntypedSplice` extension field in the
`HsImplicitLiftSplice` constructor.
* Since all the information is stored in the AST, in `HsUntypedSplice`,
the type of `PendingRnSplice` now just stores a `HsUntypedSplice`.
* Error messages since the original program can be easily
printed, this is noticeable in the case of implicit lifting.
* The user-written syntax is directly type-checked. Before, some
desugaring took place in the
* Fixes .hie files to work better with nested splices (nested splices
are not indexed)
* The location of the quoter in a quasiquote is now located, so error
messages will precisely point to it (and again, it is indexed by hie
files)
In the future, the typechecked AST should also retain information about
the splices and the specific desugaring being left to the desugarer.
Also, `runRnSplice` should call `tcUntypedSplice`, otherwise the
typechecking logic is duplicated (see the `QQError` and `QQTopError`
tests for a difference caused by this).

Fix EPT enforcement when mixing unboxed tuples and non-tuples
The code was assuming that an alternative cannot be returning a normal
datacon and an unboxed tuple at the same time. However, as seen in #26107,
this can happen when using a GADT to refine the representation type.
The solution is just to conservatively return TagDunno.

MachRegs.h: Don't define NO_ARG_REGS when a XMM register is defined
On i386, MAX_REAL_VANILLA_REG is 1, but MAX_REAL_XMM_REG is 4.
If we define NO_ARG_REGS on i386, programs that use SIMD vectors may segfault.
Closes #25985
A couple of notes on the BROKEN_TESTS field:
* This fixes the segfault from T25062_V16.
* The failure from T22187_run was fixed in an earlier commit (see #25561),
but BROKEN_TESTS was missed at that time. Now should be a good time to
mark it fixed.

Improve error messages when implicit lifting fails
This patch concerns programs which automatically try to fix level errors
by inserting `Lift`. For example:
```
foo x = [| x |]
~>
foo x = [| $(lift x) |]
```
Before, there were two problems with the message.
1. (#26031), the location of the error was reported as the whole
quotation.
2. (#26035), the message just mentions there is no Lift instance, but
gives no indicate why the user program needed a Lift instance in the
first place.
This problem is especially bad when you disable
`ImplicitStagePersistence`, so you just end up with a confusing "No
instance for" message rather than an error message about levels
This patch fixes both these issues.
Firstly, `PendingRnSplice` differentiates between a user-written splice
and an implicit lift. Then, the Lift instance is precisely requested
with a specific origin in the typechecker. If the instance fails to be
solved, the message is reported using the `TcRnBadlyLevelled`
constructor (like a normal level error).
Fixes #26031, #26035

compiler: fix GHC.SysTools.Ar archive member size writing logic
This patch fixes a long-standing bug in `GHC.SysTools.Ar` that emits
the wrong archive member size in each archive header. It should encode
the exact length of the member payload, excluding any padding byte,
otherwise malformed archive that extracts a broken object with an
extra trailing byte could be created.
Apart from the in-tree `T26120` test, I've also created an out-of-tree
testsuite at https://github.com/TerrorJack/ghc-ar-quickcheck that
contains QuickCheck roundtrip tests for `GHC.SysTools.Ar`. With this
fix, simple roundtrip tests and `writeGNUAr`/GNU `ar` roundtrip test
passes. There might be more bugs lurking in here, but this patch is
still a critical bugfix already.
Fixes #26120 #22586.

Deprecate -Wdata-kinds-tc, make DataKinds issues in typechecker become errors
!11314 introduced the `-Wdata-kinds-tc` warning as part of a fix for #22141.
This was a temporary stopgap measure to allow users who were accidentally
relying on code which needed the `DataKinds` extension in order to typecheck
without having to explicitly enable the extension.
Now that some amount of time has passed, this patch deprecates
`-Wdata-kinds-tc` and upgrades any `DataKinds`-related issues in the
typechecker (which were previously warnings) into errors.

Visible forall in GADTs (#25127)
Add support for visible dependent quantification `forall a -> t` in
types of data constructors, e.g.
data KindVal a where
K :: forall k.
forall (a::k) -> -- now allowed!
k ->
KindVal a
For details, see docs/users_guide/exts/required_type_arguments.rst,
which has gained a new subsection.
DataCon in compiler/GHC/Core/DataCon.hs
---------------------------------------
The main change in this patch is that DataCon, the Core representation
of a data constructor, now uses a different type to store user-written
type variable binders:
- dcUserTyVarBinders :: [InvisTVBinder]
+ dcUserTyVarBinders :: [TyVarBinder]
where
type TyVarBinder = VarBndr TyVar ForAllTyFlag
type InvisTVBinder = VarBndr TyVar Specificity
and
data Specificity = InferredSpec | SpecifiedSpec
data ForAllTyFlag = Invisible Specificity | Required
This change necessitates some boring, mechanical changes scattered
throughout the diff:
... is now used in place of ...
-----------------+---------------
TyVarBinder | InvisTVBinder
IfaceForAllBndr | IfaceForAllSpecBndr
Specified | SpecifiedSpec
Inferred | InferredSpec
mkForAllTys | mkInvisForAllTys
additionally,
tyVarSpecToBinders -- added or removed calls
ifaceForAllSpecToBndrs -- removed calls
Visibility casts in mkDataConRep
--------------------------------
Type abstractions in Core (/\a. e) always have type (forall a. t)
because coreTyLamForAllTyFlag = Specified. This is also true of data
constructor workers. So we may be faced with the following:
data con worker: (forall a. blah)
data con wrapper: (forall a -> blah)
In this case the wrapper must use a visibility cast (e |> ForAllCo ...)
with appropriately set fco_vis{L,R}. Relevant functions:
mkDataConRep in compiler/GHC/Types/Id/Make.hs
dataConUserTyVarBindersNeedWrapper in compiler/GHC/Core/DataCon.hs
mkForAllVisCos in compiler/GHC/Core/Coercion.hs
mkCoreTyLams in compiler/GHC/Core/Make.hs
mkWpForAllCast in compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/Evidence.hs
More specifically:
- dataConUserTyVarBindersNeedWrapper has been updated to answer "yes"
if there are visible foralls in the type of the data constructor.
- mkDataConRep now uses mkCoreTyLams to generate the big lambda
abstractions (/\a b c. e) in the data con wrapper.
- mkCoreTyLams is a variant of mkCoreLams that applies visibility casts
as needed. It similar in purpose to the pre-existing mkWpForAllCast,
so the common bits have been factored out into mkForAllVisCos.
ConDecl in compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Decls.hs
----------------------------------------------------
The surface syntax representation of a data constructor declaration is
ConDecl. In accordance with the proposal, only GADT syntax is extended
with support for visible forall, so we are interested in ConDeclGADT.
ConDeclGADT's field con_bndrs has been renamed to con_outer_bndrs
and is now accompanied by con_inner_bndrs:
con_outer_bndrs :: XRec pass (HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs pass)
con_inner_bndrs :: [HsForAllTelescope pass]
Visible foralls always end up in con_inner_bndrs. The outer binders are
stored and processed separately to support implicit quantification and
the forall-or-nothing rule, a design established by HsSigType.
A side effect of this change is that even in absence of visible foralls,
GHC now permits multiple invisible foralls, e.g.
data T a where { MkT :: forall a b. forall c d. ... -> T a }
But of course, this is done in service of making at least some of these
foralls visible. The entire compiler front-end has been updated to deal
with con_inner_bndrs. See the following modified or added functions:
Parser:
mkGadtDecl in compiler/GHC/Parser/PostProcess.hs
splitLHsGadtTy in compiler/GHC/Hs/Type.hs
Pretty-printer:
pprConDecl in compiler/GHC/Hs/Decls.hs
pprHsForAllTelescope in compiler/GHC/Hs/Type.hs
Renamer:
rnConDecl in compiler/GHC/Rename/Module.hs
bindHsForAllTelescopes in compiler/GHC/Rename/HsType.hs
extractHsForAllTelescopes in compiler/GHC/Rename/HsType.hs
Type checker:
tcConDecl in compiler/GHC/Tc/TyCl.hs
tcGadtConTyVarBndrs in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/HsType.hs
Template Haskell
----------------
The TH AST is left unchanged for the moment to avoid breakage. An
attempt to quote or reify a data constructor declaration with visible
forall in its type will result an error:
data ThRejectionReason -- in GHC/HsToCore/Errors/Types.hs
= ...
| ThDataConVisibleForall -- new error constructor
However, as noted in the previous section, GHC now permits multiple
invisible foralls, and TH was updated accordingly. Updated code:
repC in compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Quote.hs
reifyDataCon in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Splice.hs
ppr @Con in libraries/ghc-boot-th/GHC/Boot/TH/Ppr.hs
Pattern matching
----------------
Everything described above concerns data constructor declarations, but
what about their use sites? Now it is trickier to type check a pattern
match fn(Con a b c)=... because we can no longer assume that a,b,c are
all value arguments. Indeed, some or all of them may very well turn out
to be required type arguments.
To that end, see the changes to:
tcDataConPat in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Pat.hs
splitConTyArgs in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Pat.hs
and the new helpers split_con_ty_args, zip_pats_bndrs.
This is also the reason the TcRnTooManyTyArgsInConPattern error
constructor has been removed. The new code emits TcRnArityMismatch
or TcRnIllegalInvisibleTypePattern.
Summary
-------
DataCon, ConDecl, as well as all related functions have been updated to
support required type arguments in data constructors.
Test cases:
HieGadtConSigs GadtConSigs_th_dump1 GadtConSigs_th_pprint1
T25127_data T25127_data_inst T25127_infix

With the fix for #23675, all toolchain tools were moved to the

Implement `-fno-load-initial-targets` flag
We add the new flag `-fno-load-initial-targets` which doesn't load all `Target`s
immediately but only computes the module graph for all `Target`s.
The user can then decide to load modules from that module graph using
the syntax:
ghci> :reload <Mod>
This will load everything in the module graph up to `Mod`.
The user can return to the initial state by using the builtin target
`none` to unload all modules.
ghci> :reload none
Is in principle identical to starting a new session with the
`-fno-load-initial-targets` flag.
The `-fno-load-initial-targets` flag allows for faster startup time of GHCi when a
user has lots of `Target`s.
We additionally extend the `:reload` command to accept multiple
`ModuleName`s. For example:
ghci> :reload <Mod1> <Mod2>
Loads all modules up to the modules `Mod1` and `Mod2`.

Consider `PromotedDataCon` in `tyConStupidTheta`
Haddock checks data declarations for the stupid theta so as not to
pretty-print them as empty contexts. Type data declarations end up as
`PromotedDataCon`s by the time Haddock performs this check, causing a
panic. This commit extends `tyConStupidTheta` so that it returns an
empty list for `PromotedDataCon`s. This decision was guided by the fact
that type data declarations never have data type contexts (see (R1) in
Note [Type data declarations]).

debugger/rts: Allow toggling step-in per thread
The RTS global flag `rts_stop_next_breakpoint` globally sets the
interpreter to stop at the immediate next breakpoint.
With this commit, single step mode can additionally be set per thread in
the TSO flag (TSO_STOP_NEXT_BREAKPOINT).
Being able to toggle "stop at next breakpoint" per thread is an
important requirement for implementing "stepping out" of a function in a
multi-threaded context.
And, more generally, having a per-thread flag for single-stepping paves the
way for multi-threaded debugging.
That said, when we want to enable "single step" mode for the whole
interpreted program we still want to stop at the immediate next
breakpoint, whichever thread it belongs to.
That's why we also keep the global `rts_stop_next_breakpoint` flag, with
`rts_enableStopNextBreakpointAll` and `rts_disableStopNextBreakpointAll` helpers.

debugger: Implement step-out feature
Implements support for stepping-out of a function (aka breaking right after
returning from a function) in the interactive debugger.
It also introduces a GHCi command :stepout to step-out of a function
being debugged in the interpreter. The feature is described as:
Stop at the first breakpoint immediately after returning from the current
function scope.
Known limitations: because a function tail-call does not push a stack
frame, if step-out is used inside of a function that was tail-called,
execution will not be returned to its caller, but rather its caller's
first non-tail caller. On the other hand, it means the debugger
follows the more realistic execution of the program.
In the following example:
.. code-block:: none
f = do
a
b <--- (1) set breakpoint then step in here
c
b = do
...
d <--- (2) step-into this tail call
d = do
...
something <--- (3) step-out here
...
Stepping-out will stop execution at the `c` invokation in `f`, rather than
stopping at `b`.
The key idea is simple: When step-out is enabled, traverse the runtime
stack until a continuation BCO is found -- and enable the breakpoint
heading that BCO explicitly using its tick-index.
The details are specified in `Note [Debugger: Step-out]` in `rts/Interpreter.c`.
Since PUSH_ALTS BCOs (representing case continuations) were never headed
by a breakpoint (unlike the case alternatives they push), we introduced
the BRK_ALTS instruction to allow the debugger to set a case
continuation to stop at the breakpoint heading the alternative that is
taken. This is further described in `Note [Debugger: BRK_ALTS]`.
Fixes #26042

debugger: Filter step-out stops by SrcSpan
To implement step-out, the RTS looks for the first continuation frame on
the stack and explicitly enables its entry breakpoint. However, some
continuations will be contained in the function from which step-out was
initiated (trivial example is a case expression).
Similarly to steplocal, we will filter the breakpoints at which the RTS
yields to the debugger based on the SrcSpan. When doing step-out, only
stop if the breakpoint is /not/ contained in the function from which we
initiated it.
This is especially relevant in monadic statements such as IO which is
compiled to a long chain of case expressions.
See Note [Debugger: Filtering step-out stops]

refact: Split InternalModBreaks out of ModBreaks
There are currently two competing ways of referring to a Breakpoint:
1. Using the Tick module + Tick index
2. Using the Info module + Info index
1. The Tick index is allocated during desugaring in `mkModBreaks`. It is
used to refer to a breakpoint associated to a Core Tick. For a given
Tick module, there are N Ticks indexed by Tick index.
2. The Info index is allocated during code generation (in StgToByteCode)
and uniquely identifies the breakpoints at runtime (and is indeed used
to determine which breakpoint was hit at runtime).
Why we need both is described by Note [Breakpoint identifiers].
For every info index we used to keep a `CgBreakInfo`, a datatype containing
information relevant to ByteCode Generation, in `ModBreaks`.
This commit splits out the `IntMap CgBreakInfo` out of `ModBreaks` into
a new datatype `InternalModBreaks`.
- The purpose is to separate the `ModBreaks` datatype, which stores
data associated from tick-level information which is fixed after
desugaring, from the unrelated `IntMap CgBreakInfo` information
accumulated during bytecode generation.
- We move `ModBreaks` to GHC.HsToCore.Breakpoints
The new `InternalModBreaks` simply combines the `IntMap CgBreakInfo`
with `ModBreaks`. After code generation we construct an
`InternalModBreaks` with the `CgBreakInfo`s we accumulated and the
existing `ModBreaks` and store that in the compiled BCO in `bc_breaks`.
- Note that we previously only updated the `modBreaks_breakInfo`
field of `ModBreaks` at this exact location, and then stored the
updated `ModBreaks` in the same `bc_breaks`.
- We put this new datatype in GHC.ByteCode.Breakpoints
The rest of the pipeline for which CgBreakInfo is relevant is
accordingly updated to also use `InternalModBreaks`

ghci: Allocate BreakArrays at link time only
Previously, a BreakArray would be allocated with a slot for every tick
in a module at `mkModBreaks`, in HsToCore. However, this approach has
a few downsides:
- It interleaves interpreter behaviour (allocating arrays for
breakpoints) within the desugarer
- It is inflexible in the sense it is impossible for the bytecode
generator to add "internal" breakpoints that can be triggered at
runtime, because those wouldn't have a source tick. (This is relevant
for our intended implementation plan of step-out in #26042)
- It ties the BreakArray indices to the *tick* indexes, while at runtime
we would rather just have the *info* indexes (currently we have both
because BreakArrays are indexed by the *tick* one).
Paving the way for #26042 and #26064, this commit moves the allocation
of BreakArrays to bytecode-loading time -- akin to what is done for CCS
arrays.
Since a BreakArray is allocated only when bytecode is linked, if a
breakpoint is set (e.g. `:break 10`) before the bytecode is linked,
there will exist no BreakArray to trigger the breakpoint in.
Therefore, the function to allocate break arrays (`allocateBreakArrays`)
is exposed and also used in GHC.Runtime.Eval to allocate a break array
when a breakpoint is set, if it doesn't exist yet (in the linker env).

Implement user-defined allocation limit handlers
Allocation Limits allow killing a thread if they allocate more than a
user-specified limit.
We extend this feature to allow more versatile behaviour.
- We allow not killing the thread if the limit is exceeded.
- We allow setting a custom handler to be called when the limit is exceeded.
User-specified allocation limit handlers run in a fresh thread and are passed
the ThreadId of the thread that exceeded its limit.
We introduce utility functions for getting and setting the allocation
limits of other threads, so that users can reset the limit of a thread
from a handler. Both of these are somewhat coarse-grained as we are
unaware of the allocations in the current nursery chunk.
We provide several examples of usages in testsuite/tests/rts/T22859.hs

Treat tuple dictionaries uniformly; don't unbox them
See `Note [Do not unbox class dictionaries]` in DmdAnal.hs,
sep (DNB1).
This MR reverses the plan in #23398, which suggested a special case to
unbox tuple dictionaries in worker/wrapper. But:
- This was the cause of a pile of complexity in the specialiser (#26158)
- Even with that complexity, specialision was still bad, very bad
See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19747#note_626297
And it's entirely unnecessary! Specialision works fine without
unboxing tuple dictionaries.

llvm-ar appears to terminate string table entries with `/\n` [1]. This

filenames when possible. However, now it appears to always use the
string table.

Remove the `profile_id` parameter from various RTS functions.
Various RTS functions took a `profile_id` parameter, intended to be used to
distinguish parallel heap profile breakdowns (e.g., `-hT` and `-hi`). However,
this feature was never implemented and the `profile_id` parameter was set to 0
throughout the RTS. This commit removes the parameter but leaves the hardcoded
profile ID in the functions that emit the encoded eventlog events as to not
change the protocol.
The affected functions are `traceHeapProfBegin`, `postHeapProfBegin`,
`traceHeapProfSampleString`, `postHeapProfSampleString`,
`traceHeapProfSampleCostCentre`, and `postHeapProfSampleCostCentre`.

Disable -fprof-late-overloaded-calls for join points.
Currently GHC considers cost centres as destructive to
join contexts. Or in other words this is not considered valid:
join f x = ...
in
... -> scc<tick> jmp
This makes the functionality of `-fprof-late-overloaded-calls` not feasible
for join points in general. We used to try to work around this by putting the
ticks on the rhs of the join point rather than around the jump. However beyond
the loss of accuracy this was broken for recursive join points as we ended up
with something like:
rec-join f x = scc<tick> ... jmp f x
Which similarly is not valid as the tick once again destroys the tail call.
One might think we could limit ourselves to non-recursive tail calls and do
something clever like:
join f x = scc<tick> ...
in ... jmp f x
And sometimes this works! But sometimes the full rhs would look something like:
join g x = ....
join f x = scc<tick> ... -> jmp g x
Which, would again no longer be valid. I believe in the long run we can make
cost centre ticks non-destructive to join points. Or we could keep track of
where we are/are not allowed to insert a cost centre. But in the short term I will
simply disable the annotation of join calls under this flag.

Update interact docs to explain about buffering
We need to tell the user to set to the
appropriate buffer format.
Otherwise, this function may get randomly stuck,
or just behave confusingly.
issue: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/26131
NB, I'm running this with cabal *NOT* ghci. ghci messes with buffering anyway.
```haskell
interaction :: String -> String
interaction "jappie" = "hi"
interaction "jakob" = "hello"
interaction x = "unkown input: " <> x
main :: IO ()
main = interact interaction
```
so in my input (prefixed by `>`) I get:
```
> jappie
unkown input: jappie
```
we confirmed later this was due to lack of \n matching.
Anyway movnig on to more unexpected stuff:
```haskell
main :: IO ()
main = do
interact (concatMap interaction . lines)
```
get's stuck forever.
actually `^D` (ctrl+d) unstucks it and runs all input as expected.
for example you can get:
```
> sdfkds
> fakdsf
unkown input: sdfkdsunkown input: fakdsf
```
This program works!
```haskell
interaction :: String -> String
interaction "jappie" = "hi \n"
interaction "jakob" = "hello \n"
interaction x = "unkown input: " <> x <> "\n"
main :: IO ()
main = do
interact (concatMap interaction . lines)
```
the reason is that linebuffering is set for both in and output by default.
so lines eats the input lines, and all the \n postfixes make sure the buffer
is put out.

This commit adds those fixes, and some tests for them.
The tests brought to light that the ImportDecl ppr instance had not

template haskell: use a precise condition when implicitly lifting
Implicit lifting corrects a level error by replacing references to `x`
with `$(lift x)`, therefore you can use a level `n` binding at level `n
+ 1`, if it can be lifted.
Therefore, we now have a precise check that the use level is 1 more than
the bind level.
Before this bug was not observable as you only had 0 and 1 contexts but
it is easily evident when using explicit level imports.

CprAnal: Detect recursive newtypes (#25944)
While `cprTransformDataConWork` handles recursive data con workers, it
did not detect the case when a newtype is responsible for the recursion.
This is now detected in the `Cast` case of `cprAnal`.
The same reproducer made it clear that `isRecDataCon` lacked congruent
handling for `AppTy` and `CastTy`, now fixed.
Furthermore, the new repro case T25944 triggered this bug via an
infinite loop in `cprFix`, caused by the infelicity in `isRecDataCon`.
While it should be much less likely to trigger such an infinite loop now
that `isRecDataCon` has been fixed, I made sure to abort the loop after
10 iterations and emitting a warning instead.
Fixes #25944.

STM: don't create a transaction in the rhs of catchRetry# (#26028)
We don't need to create a transaction for the rhs of (catchRetry#)
because contrary to the lhs we don't need to abort it on retry. Moreover
it is particularly harmful if we have code such as (#26028):
let cN = readTVar vN >> retry
tree = c1 `orElse` (c2 `orElse` (c3 `orElse` ...))
atomically tree
Because it will stack transactions for the rhss and the read-sets of all
the transactions will be iteratively merged in O(n^2) after the
execution of the most nested retry.

Improve treatment of SPECIALISE pragmas -- again!
This MR does another major refactor of the way that SPECIALISE
pragmas work, to fix #26115, #26116, #26117.
* We now /always/ solve forall-constraints in an all-or-nothing way.
See Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Solve
This means we might have unsolved quantified constraints, which need
to be reported. See `inert_insts` in `getUnsolvedInerts`.
* I refactored the short-cut solver for type classes to work by
recursively calling the solver rather than by having a little baby
solver that kept being not clever enough.
See Note [Shortcut solving] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Dict
* I totally rewrote the desugaring of SPECIALISE pragmas, again.
The new story is in Note [Desugaring new-form SPECIALISE pragmas]
in GHC.HsToCore.Binds
Both old-form and new-form SPECIALISE pragmas now route through the same
function `dsSpec_help`. The tricky function `decomposeRuleLhs` is now used only
for user-written RULES, not for SPECIALISE pragmas.
* I improved `solveOneFromTheOther` to account for rewriter sets. Previously
it would solve a non-rewritten dict from a rewritten one. For equalities
we were already dealing with this, in
Some incidental refactoring
* A small refactor: `ebv_tcvs` in `EvBindsBar` now has a list of coercions, rather
than a set of tyvars. We just delay taking the free vars.
* GHC.Core.FVs.exprFVs now returns /all/ free vars.
Use `exprLocalFVs` for Local vars.
Reason: I wanted another variant for /evidence/ variables.
* Ues `EvId` in preference to `EvVar`. (Evidence variables are always Ids.)
Rename `isEvVar` to `isEvId`.
* I moved `inert_safehask` out of `InertCans` and into `InertSet` where it
more properly belongs.
Compiler-perf changes:
* There was a palpable bug (#26117) which this MR fixes in
newWantedEvVar, which bypassed all the subtle overlapping-Given
and shortcutting logic. (See the new `newWantedEvVar`.) Fixing this
but leads to extra dictionary bindings; they are optimised away quickly
but they made CoOpt_Read allocate 3.6% more.
* Hpapily T15164 improves.
* The net compiler-allocation change is 0.0%

Solve forall-constraints immediately, or not at all
This MR refactors the constraint solver to solve forall-constraints immediately,
rather than emitting an implication constraint to be solved later.
The most immediate motivation was that when solving quantified constraints
in SPECIALISE pragmas, we really really don't want to leave behind half-
solved implications. Also it's in tune with the approach of the new
short-cut solver, which recursively invokes the solver.
It /also/ saves quite a bit of plumbing; e.g
- The `wl_implics` field of `WorkList` is gone,
- The types of `solveSimpleWanteds` and friends are simplified.
- An EvFun contains binding, rather than an EvBindsVar ref-cell that
will in the future contain bindings. That makes `evVarsOfTerm`
simpler. Much nicer.
It also improves error messages a bit.
All described in Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint] in
GHC.Tc.Solver.Solve.
One tiresome point: in the tricky case of `inferConstraintsCoerceBased`
we make a forall-constraint. This we /do/ want to partially solve, so
we can infer a suitable context. (I'd be quite happy to force the user to
write a context, bt I don't want to change behavior.) So we want to generate
an /implication/ constraint in `emitPredSpecConstraints` rather than a
/forall-constraint/ as we were doing before. Discussed in (WFA3) of
the above Note.
Incidental refactoring
* `GHC.Tc.Deriv.Infer.inferConstraints` was consulting the state monad for
the DerivEnv that the caller had just consulted. Nicer to pass it as an
argument I think, so I have done that. No change in behaviour.

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/26222
This commit makes three changes when code is compiled against the non-threaded RTS:
1. It disables the --eventlog-flush-interval flag.
2. It disables the documentation for the --eventlog-flush-interval flag.
3. It disables the relevant state from RtsConfig and code from Timer.
4. It updates the entry for --eventlog-flush-interval in the users guide.

debugger: Uniquely identify breakpoints by internal id
Since b85b11994e0130ff2401dd4bbdf52330e0bcf776 (support inlining
breakpoints), a breakpoint has been identified at runtime by *two* pairs
of <module,index>.
- The first, aka a 'BreakpointId', uniquely identifies a breakpoint in
the source of a module by using the Tick index. A Tick index can index
into ModBreaks.modBreaks_xxx to fetch source-level information about
where that tick originated.
- When a user specifies e.g. a line breakpoint using :break, we'll reverse
engineer what a Tick index for that line
- We update the `BreakArray` of that module (got from the
LoaderState) at that tick index to `breakOn`.
- A BCO we can stop at is headed by a BRK_FUN instruction. This
instruction stores in an operand the `tick index` it is associated
to. We look it up in the associated `BreakArray` (also an operand)
and check wheter it was set to `breakOn`.
- The second, aka the `ibi_info_mod` + `ibi_info_ix` of the
`InternalBreakpointId`, uniquely index into the `imodBreaks_breakInfo`
-- the information we gathered during code generation about the
existing breakpoint *ocurrences*.
- Note that with optimisation there may be many occurrences of the
same source-tick-breakpoint across different modules. The
`ibi_info_ix` is unique per occurrence, but the `bi_tick_ix` may be
shared. See Note [Breakpoint identifiers] about this.
- Note that besides the tick ids, info ids are also stored in
`BRK_FUN` so the break handler can refer to the associated
`CgBreakInfo`.
In light of that, the driving changes come from the desire to have the
info_id uniquely identify the breakpoint at runtime, and the source tick
id being derived from it:
- An InternalBreakpointId should uniquely identify a breakpoint just
from the code-generation identifiers of `ibi_info_ix` and `ibi_info_mod`.
So we drop `ibi_tick_mod` and `ibi_tick_ix`.
- A BRK_FUN instruction need only record the "internal breakpoint id",
not the tick-level id.
So we drop the tick mod and tick index operands.
- A BreakArray should be indexed by InternalBreakpointId rather than
BreakpointId
That means we need to do some more work when setting a breakpoint.
Specifically, we need to figure out the internal ids (occurrences of a
breakpoint) from the source-level BreakpointId we want to set the
breakpoint at (recall :break refers to breaks at the source level).
Besides this change being an improvement to the handling of breakpoints
(it's clearer to have a single unique identifier than two competing
ones), it unlocks the possibility of generating "internal" breakpoints
during Cg (needed for #26042).
It should also be easier to introduce multi-threaded-aware `BreakArrays`
following this change (needed for #26064).

compiler: Export a version of `newNameCache` that is not prone to footguns.
`newNameCache` must be initialized with both a non-"reserved" unique tag, as well
as a list of known key names. Failing to do so results in hard to debug unique conflicts.
It is difficult for API users to tell which unique tags are safe to use. So instead of leaving
this up to the user to decide, we now export a version of `newNameCache` which uses a guaranteed
non-reserved unique tag. In fact, this is now the way the unique tag is initialized for all invocations
of the compiler.
The original version of `newNameCache` is now exported as `newNameCache'` for advanced users.
We also deprecate `initNameCache` as it is also prone to footguns and is completely subsumed in
functionality by `newNameCache` and `newNameCache'`.

ipe: Use stable IDs for IPE entries
IPEs have historically been indexed and reported by their address.
This makes it impossible to compare profiles between runs, since the
addresses may change (due to ASLR) and also makes it tricky to separate
out the IPE map from the binary.
This small patch adds a stable identifier for each IPE entry.
The stable identifier is a single 64 bit word. The high-bits are a
per-module identifier and the low bits identify which entry in each
module.
1. When a node is added into the IPE buffer it is assigned a unique
identifier from an incrementing global counter.
2. Each entry already has an index by it's position in the
`IpeBufferListNode`.
The two are combined together by the `IPE_ENTRY_KEY` macro.
Info table profiling uses the stable identifier rather than the address
of the info table.
The benefits of this change are:
* Profiles from different runs can be easily compared
* The metadata can be extracted from the binary (via the eventlog for
example) and then stripped from the executable.

hadrian: enable terminfo if --with-curses-* flags are given
The GHC make build system used to support WITH_TERMINFO in ghc.mk which
allowed controlling whether to build GHC with terminfo or not. hadrian
has replaced this with a system where this is effectively controlled by
the cross-compiling setting (the default WITH_TERMINFO value was bassed
on CrossCompiling, iirc).
This behavior is undesireable in some cases and there is not really a
good way to work around it. Especially for downstream packagers,
modifying this via UserSettings is not really feasible since such a
source file has to be kept in sync with Settings/Default.hs manually
since it can't import Settings.Default or any predefined Flavour
definitions.
To avoid having to add a new setting to cfg/system.config and/or a new
configure flag (though I'm happy to implement both if required), I've
chosen to take --with-curses-* being set explicitly as an indication
that the user wants to have terminfo enabled. This would work for
Nixpkgs which sets these flags [1] as well as haskell.nix [2] (which
goes to some extreme measures [3] [4] to force terminfo in all scenarios).
In general, I'm an advocate for making the GHC build be the same for
native and cross insofar it is possible since it makes packaging GHC and
Haskell related things while still supporting cross much less
compilicated. A more minimal GHC with reduced dependencies should
probably be a specific flavor, not the default.
Partially addresses #26288 by forcing terminfo to be built if the user
explicitly passes configure flags related to it. However, it isn't built
by default when cross-compiling yet nor is there an explicit way to
control the package being built.

Handle non-fractional CmmFloats in Cmm's CBE (#26229)
Since f8d9d016305be355f518c141f6c6d4826f2de9a2, toRational for Float and
Double converts float's infinity and NaN into Rational's infinity and
NaN (respectively 1%0 and 0%0).
Cmm CommonBlockEliminator hashing function needs to take these values
into account as they can appear as literals now. See added testcase.

Improve deep subsumption
This commit improves the DeepSubsumption sub-typing implementation
in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.tc_sub_type_deep by being less eager to fall back
to unification.
For example, we now are properly able to prove the subtyping relationship
((∀ a. a->a) -> Int) -> Bool <= β[tau] Bool
for an unfilled metavariable β. In this case (with an AppTy on the right),
we used to fall back to unification. No longer: now, given that the LHS
is a FunTy and that the RHS is a deep rho type (does not need any instantiation),
we try to make the RHS into a FunTy, viz.
β := (->) γ
We can then continue using covariance & contravariance of the function
arrow, which allows us to prove the subtyping relationship, instead of
trying to unify which would cause us to error out with:
Couldn't match expected type ‘β’ with actual type ‘(->) ((∀ a. a -> a) -> Int)
See Note [FunTy vs non-FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.
The other main improvement in this patch concerns type inference.
The main subsumption logic happens (before & after this patch) in
GHC.Tc.Gen.App.checkResultTy. However, before this patch, all of the
DeepSubsumption logic only kicked in in 'check' mode, not in 'infer' mode.
This patch adds deep instantiation in the 'infer' mode of checkResultTy
when we are doing deep subsumption, which allows us to accept programs
such as:
f :: Int -> (forall a. a->a)
g :: Int -> Bool -> Bool
test1 b =
case b of
True -> f
False -> g
test2 b =
case b of
True -> g
False -> f
See Note [Deeply instantiate in checkResultTy when inferring].
Finally, we add representation-polymorphism checks to ensure that the
lambda abstractions we introduce when doing subsumption obey the
representation polymorphism invariants of Note [Representation polymorphism invariants]
in GHC.Core. See Note [FunTy vs FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep].
This is accompanied by a courtesy change to `(<.>) :: HsWrapper -> HsWrapper -> HsWrapper`,
adding the equation:
WpCast c1 <.> WpCast c2 = WpCast (c1 `mkTransCo` c2)
This is useful because mkWpFun does not introduce an eta-expansion when
both of the argument & result wrappers are casts; so this change allows
us to avoid introducing lambda abstractions when casts suffice.

rts: Clarify rationale for undefined atomic wrappers
Since c06e3f46d24ef69f3a3d794f5f604cb8c2a40cbc the RTS has declared
various atomic operation wrappers defined by ghc-internal as undefined.
While the rationale for this isn't clear from the commit message, I
believe that this is necessary due to the unregisterised backend.
Specifically, the code generator will reference these symbols when
compiling RTS Cmm sources.

Instead of decoding the stack traces when collecting the `Backtraces`,
defer this decoding until actually showing the `Backtraces`.
This allows users to customise how `Backtraces` are displayed by
using a custom implementation of `displayExceptionWithInfo`, overwriting
the default implementation for `Backtraces` (`displayBacktraces`).

Allow users to customise the collection of exception annotations
Add a global `CollectExceptionAnnotationMechanism` which determines how
`ExceptionAnnotation`s are collected upon throwing an `Exception`.
This API is exposed via `ghc-experimental`.
By overriding how we collect `Backtraces`, we can control how the
`Backtraces` are displayed to the user by newtyping `Backtraces` and
giving a different instance for `ExceptionAnnotation`.
A concrete use-case for this feature is allowing us to experiment with
alternative stack decoders, without having to modify `base`, which take
additional information from the stack frames.
This commit does not modify how `Backtraces` are currently
collected or displayed.

ghc-internal: Fix naturalAndNot for NB/NS case
When the first argument to `naturalAndNot` is larger than a `Word` and the second is `Word`-sized, `naturalAndNot` will truncate the
result:
```
>>> naturalAndNot ((2 ^ 65) .|. (2 ^ 3)) (2 ^ 3)
0
```
In contrast, `naturalAndNot` does not truncate when both arguments are larger than a `Word`, so this appears to be a bug.
Luckily, the fix is pretty easy: we just need to call `bigNatAndNotWord#` instead of truncating.

Refactoring: Don't misuse `MCDiagnostic` for lint messages
`MCDiagnostic` is meant to be used for compiler diagnostics.
Any code that creates `MCDiagnostic` directly, without going through
`GHC.Driver.Errors.printMessage`, side steps `-fdiagnostics-as-json`
(see e.g. !14475, !14492 !14548).
To avoid this in the future I want to control more narrowly who creates
`MCDiagnostic` (see #24113).
Some parts of the compiler use `MCDiagnostic` purely for formatting
purposes, without creating any real compiler diagnostics. This change
introduces a helper function, `formatDiagnostic`, that can be used in
such cases instead of constructing `MCDiagnostic`.

rts: ensure MessageBlackHole.link is always a valid closure
We turn a MessageBlackHole into an StgInd in wakeBlockingQueue().
Therefore it's important that the link field, which becomes the
indirection field, always points to a valid closure.

to lead to a crash, but it's good to be consistent about this invariant nonetheless.

rts: spin if we see a WHITEHOLE in messageBlackHole
When a BLACKHOLE gets cancelled in raiseAsync, we indirect to a THUNK.
GC can then shortcut this, replacing our BLACKHOLE with a fresh THUNK.
This THUNK is not guaranteed to have a valid indirectee field.
If at the same time, a message intended for the previous BLACKHOLE is
processed and concurrently we BLACKHOLE the THUNK, thus temporarily
turning it into a WHITEHOLE, we can get a segfault, since we look at the
undefined indirectee field of the THUNK
The fix is simple: spin if we see a WHITEHOLE, and it will soon be
replaced with a valid BLACKHOLE.

addImplicitBinds, which runs between the two.

Implement unary classes
The big change is described exhaustively in
Note [Unary class magic] in GHC.Core.TyCon
Other changes
* We never unbox class dictionaries in worker/wrapper. This has been true for some
time now, but the logic is now centralised in functions in
GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils, namely `canUnboxTyCon`, and `canUnboxArg`
See Note [Do not unbox class dictionaries] in GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils.
* Refactored the `notWorthFloating` logic in GHc.Core.Opt.SetLevels.
I can't remember if I actually changed any behaviour here, but if so it's
only in a corner cases.
* Fixed a bug in `GHC.Core.TyCon.isEnumerationTyCon`, which was wrongly returning
True for (##).
* Remove redundant Role argument to `liftCoSubstWithEx`. It was always
Representational.
* I refactored evidence generation in the constraint solver:
* Made GHC.Tc.Types.Evidence contain better abstactions for evidence
generation.
* I deleted the file `GHC.Tc.Types.EvTerm` and merged its (small) contents
elsewhere. It wasn't paying its way.
* Made evidence for implicit parameters go via a proper abstraction.
* Fix inlineBoringOk; see (IB6) in Note [inlineBoringOk]
This fixes a slowdown in `countdownEffectfulDynLocal`
in the `effectful` library.
Smaller things
* Rename `isDataTyCon` to `isBoxedDataTyCon`.
* GHC.Core.Corecion.liftCoSubstWithEx was only called with Representational role,
so I baked that into the function and removed the argument.
* Get rid of `GHC.Core.TyCon.tyConSingleAlgDataCon_maybe` in favour of calling
`not isNewTyCon` at the call sites; more explicit.
* Refatored `GHC.Core.TyCon.isInjectiveTyCon`; but I don't think I changed its
behaviour
* Moved `decomposeIPPred` to GHC.Core.Predicate
Compile time performance changes:
geo. mean +0.1%

hadrian: enforce have_llvm=False for wasm32/js
This patch fixes hadrian to always pass have_llvm=False to the
testsuite driver for wasm32/js targets. These targets don't really
support the LLVM backend, and the optllvm test way doesn't work. We
used to special-case wasm32/js to avoid auto-adding optllvm way in
testsuite/config/ghc, but this is still problematic if someone writes
a new LLVM-related test and uses something like when(have_llvm(),
extra_ways(["optllvm"])). So better just enforce have_llvm=False for
these targets here.

Add primop to annotate the call stack with arbitrary data
We introduce a new primop `annotateStack#` which allows us to push
arbitrary data onto the call-stack.
This allows us to extract the data later when decoding the stack, for
example when an exception is thrown, showing more information to the
user without having to annotate the full call-stack with `HasCallStack`
constraints.
A new stack frame value is introduced `AnnFrame`, which consists of
nothing but a generic payload.
The primop has a small wrapper API that allows users to annotate their
call-stack in programs.
There is a pure API and an IO-based one. The former is a little bit
dubious, as it affects the evaluation of a program, so use with care.
The latter is "safe", as it doesn't change the evaluation of the
program.
The stack annotation mechanism is similarly implemented to the
`ExceptionAnnotation` and `Exception`, there is a typeclass to indicate
something can be pushed onto the call-stack and all values are wrapped
in the existential `SomeStackAnnotation`, which recover the type of the
annotation payload.
There is currently no builtin way to show the stack annotations when
`Backtraces` are displayed (i.e., when showing stack traces to the user),
which we will address in a follow-up MR.

Serialize wired-in names as external names when creating HIE files
Note that the domain of de-serialized names stays the same.
Specifically, for known-key names, before `lookupKnownKeyName` was used,
while now this is handled by `lookupOrigNameCache` which captures the
same range provided that the OrigNameCache has been initialized with
`knownKeyNames` (which is the case by default).

compiler: fix closure C type in SPT init code
This patch fixes the closure C type in SPT init code to StgClosure,
instead of the previously incorrect StgPtr. Having an incorrect C type
makes SPT init code not compatible with other foreign stub generation
logic, which may also emit their own extern declarations for the same
closure symbols and thus will clash with the incorrect prototypes in
SPT init code.

Improve deep subsumption
This commit improves the DeepSubsumption sub-typing implementation
in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.tc_sub_type_deep by being less eager to fall back
to unification.
But alas it still wasn't quite right for view patterns: #26331
This MR does a generalisation to fix it. A bit of a sledgehammer to crack
a nut, but nice.
* Add a field `ir_inst :: InferInstFlag` to `InferResult`, where
```
data InferInstFlag = IIF_Sigma | IIF_ShallowRho | IIF_DeepRho
```
* The flag says exactly how much `fillInferResult` should instantiate
before filling the hole.
* We can also use this to replace the previous very ad-hoc `tcInferSigma`
that was used to implement GHCi's `:type` command.

Move stack decoding logic from ghc-heap to ghc-internal
The stack decoding logic in `ghc-heap` is more sophisticated than the one
currently employed in `CloneStack`. We want to use the stack decoding
implementation from `ghc-heap` in `base`.
We cannot simply depend on `ghc-heap` in `base` due do bootstrapping
issues.
Thus, we move the code that is necessary to implement stack decoding to
`ghc-internal`. This is the right location, as we don't want to add a
new API to `base`.
Moving the stack decoding logic and re-exposing it in ghc-heap is
insufficient, though, as we have a dependency cycle between.
* ghc-heap depends on stage1:ghc-internal
* stage0:ghc depends on stage0:ghc-heap
To fix this, we remove ghc-heap from the set of `stage0` dependencies.
This is not entirely straight-forward, as a couple of boot dependencies,
such as `ghci` depend on `ghc-heap`.
Luckily, the boot compiler of GHC is now >=9.10, so we can migrate `ghci`
to use `ghc-internal` instead of `ghc-heap`, which already exports the
relevant modules.
However, we cannot 100% remove ghc's dependency on `ghc-heap`, since
when we compile `stage0:ghc`, `stage1:ghc-internal` is not yet
available.
Thus, when we compile with the boot-compiler, we still depend on an
older version of `ghc-heap`, and only use the modules from `ghc-internal`,
if the `ghc-internal` version is recent enough.

These metric increases are unfortunate, they are most likely caused by
the larger (literally in terms of lines of code) stack decoder implementation
that are now linked into hello-word binaries.
On linux, it is almost a 10% increase, which is considerable.

Only use active rules when simplifying rule RHSs
When we are simplifying the RHS of a rule, we make sure to only apply
rewrites from rules that are active throughout the original rule's
range of active phases.
For example, if a rule is always active, we only fire rules that are
themselves always active when simplifying the RHS. Ditto for inline
activations.
This is achieved by setting the simplifier phase to a range of phases,
using the new SimplPhaseRange constructor. Then:
1. When simplifying the RHS of a rule, or of a stable unfolding,
we set the simplifier phase to a range of phases, computed from
the activation of the RULE/unfolding activation, using the
function 'phaseFromActivation'.
The details are explained in Note [What is active in the RHS of a RULE?]
in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.
2. The activation check for other rules and inlinings is then:
does the activation of the other rule/inlining cover the whole
phase range set in sm_phase? This continues to use the 'isActive'
function, which now accounts for phase ranges.
On the way, this commit also moves the exact-print SourceText annotation
from the Activation datatype to the ActivationAnn type. This keeps the
main Activation datatype free of any extra cruft.

debugger: Allow BRK_FUNs to head case continuation BCOs
When we start executing a BCO, we may want to yield to the scheduler:
this may be triggered by a heap/stack check, context switch, or a
breakpoint. To yield, we need to put the stack in a state such that
when execution is resumed we are back to where we yielded from.
Previously, a BKR_FUN could only head a function BCO because we only
knew how to construct a valid stack for yielding from one -- simply add
`apply_interp_info` + the BCO to resume executing. This is valid because
the stack at the start of run_BCO is headed by that BCO's arguments.
However, in case continuation BCOs (as per Note [Case continuation BCOs]),
we couldn't easily reconstruct a valid stack that could be resumed
because we dropped too soon the stack frames regarding the value
returned (stg_ret) and received (stg_ctoi) by that continuation.
This is especially tricky because of the variable type and size return
frames (e.g. pointer ret_p/ctoi_R1p vs a tuple ret_t/ctoi_t2).
The trick to being able to yield from a BRK_FUN at the start of a case
cont BCO is to stop removing the ret frame headers eagerly and instead
keep them until the BCO starts executing. The new layout at the start of
a case cont. BCO is described by the new Note [Stack layout when entering run_BCO].
Now, we keep the ret_* and ctoi_* frames when entering run_BCO.
A BRK_FUN is then executed if found, and the stack is yielded as-is with
the preserved ret and ctoi frames.
Then, a case cont BCO's instructions always SLIDE off the headers of the
ret and ctoi frames, in StgToByteCode.doCase, turning a stack like
| .... |
+---------------+
| fv2 |
+---------------+
| fv1 |
+---------------+
| BCO |
+---------------+
| stg_ctoi_ret_ |
+---------------+
| retval |
+---------------+
| stg_ret_..... |
+---------------+
into
| .... |
+---------------+
| fv2 |
+---------------+
| fv1 |
+---------------+
| retval |
+---------------+
for the remainder of the BCO.
Moreover, this more uniform approach of keeping the ret and ctoi frames
means we need less ad-hoc logic concerning the variable size of
ret_tuple vs ret_p/np frames in the code generator and interpreter:
Always keep the return to cont. stack intact at the start of run_BCO,
and the statically generated instructions will take care of adjusting
it.
Unlocks BRK_FUNs at the start of case cont. BCOs which will enable a
better user-facing step-out (#26042) which is free of the bugs the
current BRK_ALTS implementation suffers from (namely, using BRK_FUN
rather than BRK_ALTS in a case cont. means we'll never accidentally end
up in a breakpoint "deeper" than the continuation, because we stop at
the case cont itself rather than on the first breakpoint we evaluate
after it).

BRK_FUN with InternalBreakLocs for code-generation time breakpoints
At the start of a case continuation BCO, place a BRK_FUN.
This BRK_FUN uses the new "internal breakpoint location" -- allowing us
to come up with a valid source location for this breakpoint that is not associated with a source-level tick.
For case continuation BCOs, we use the last tick seen before it as the
source location. The reasoning is described in Note [Debugger: Stepout internal break locs].
Note how T26042c, which was broken because it displayed the incorrect
behavior of the previous step out when we'd end up at a deeper level
than the one from which we initiated step-out, is now fixed.
As of this commit, BRK_ALTS is now dead code and is thus dropped.
Note [Debugger: Stepout internal break locs]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step-out tells the interpreter to run until the current function
returns to where it was called from, and stop there.
This is achieved by enabling the BRK_FUN found on the first RET_BCO
frame on the stack (See [Note Debugger: Step-out]).
Case continuation BCOs (which select an alternative branch) must
therefore be headed by a BRK_FUN. An example:
f x = case g x of <--- end up here
1 -> ...
2 -> ...
g y = ... <--- step out from here
- `g` will return a value to the case continuation BCO in `f`
- The case continuation BCO will receive the value returned from g
- Match on it and push the alternative continuation for that branch
- And then enter that alternative.
If we step-out of `g`, the first RET_BCO on the stack is the case
continuation of `f` -- execution should stop at its start, before
selecting an alternative. (One might ask, "why not enable the breakpoint
in the alternative instead?", because the alternative continuation is
only pushed to the stack *after* it is selected by the case cont. BCO)
However, the case cont. BCO is not associated with any source-level
tick, it is merely the glue code which selects alternatives which do
have source level ticks. Therefore, we have to come up at code
generation time with a breakpoint location ('InternalBreakLoc') to
display to the user when it is stopped there.
Our solution is to use the last tick seen just before reaching the case
continuation. This is robust because a case continuation will thus
always have a relevant breakpoint location:
- The source location will be the last source-relevant expression
executed before the continuation is pushed
- So the source location will point to the thing you've just stepped
out of
- Doing :step-local from there will put you on the selected
alternative (which at the source level may also be the e.g. next
line in a do-block)
Examples, using angle brackets (<<...>>) to denote the breakpoint span:
f x = case <<g x>> {- step in here -} of
1 -> ...
2 -> ...>
g y = <<...>> <--- step out from here
...
f x = <<case g x of <--- end up here, whole case highlighted
1 -> ...
2 -> ...>>
doing :step-local ...
f x = case g x of
1 -> <<...>> <--- stop in the alternative
2 -> ...
A second example based on T26042d2, where the source is a do-block IO
action, optimised to a chain of `case expressions`.
main = do
putStrLn "hello1"
<<f>> <--- step-in here
putStrLn "hello3"
putStrLn "hello4"
f = do
<<putStrLn "hello2.1">> <--- step-out from here
putStrLn "hello2.2"
...
main = do
putStrLn "hello1"
<<f>> <--- end up here again, the previously executed expression
putStrLn "hello3"
putStrLn "hello4"
doing step/step-local ...
main = do
putStrLn "hello1"
f
<<putStrLn "hello3">> <--- straight to the next line
putStrLn "hello4"

debugger: Re-use the last BreakpointId whole in step-out
Previously, to come up with a location to stop at for `:stepout`, we
would store the location of the last BreakpointId surrounding the
continuation, as described by Note [Debugger: Stepout internal break locs].
However, re-using just the location from the last source breakpoint
isn't sufficient to provide the necessary information in the break
location. Specifically, it wouldn't bind any variables at that location.
Really, there is no reason not to re-use the last breakpoint wholesale,
and re-use all the information we had there. Step-out should behave just
as if we had stopped at the call, but s.t. continuing will not
re-execute the call.
This commit updates the CgBreakInfo to always store a BreakpointId, be
it the original one or the one we're emulating (for step-out).
It makes variable bindings on :stepout work

bytecode: Don't PUSH_L 0; SLIDE 1 1
While looking through bytecode I noticed a quite common unfortunate
pattern:
...
PUSH_L 0
SLIDE 1 1
We do this often by generically constructing a tail call from a function
atom that may be somewhere arbitrary on the stack.
However, for the special case that the function can be found directly on
top of the stack, as part of the arguments, it's plain redundant to push
then slide it.
In this commit we add a small optimisation to the generation of
tailcalls in bytecode. Simply: lookahead for the function in the stack.
If it is the first thing on the stack and it is part of the arguments
which would be dropped as we entered the tail call, then don't push then
slide it.
In a simple example (T26042b), this already produced a drastic
improvement in generated code (left is old, right is with this patch):

ghc-internal: invert dependency of GHC.Internal.TH.Syntax on Data.Data
This means that Data.Data no longer blocks building TH.Syntax, which
allows greater parallelism in our builds.
We move the Data.Data.Data instances to Data.Data. Quasi depends on
Data.Data for one of its methods, so,
we split the Quasi/Q, etc definition out of GHC.Internal.TH.Syntax
into its own module. This has the added benefit of splitting up this
quite large module.
Previously TH.Syntax was a bottleneck when compiling ghc-internal. Now
it is less of a bottle-neck and is also slightly quicker to
compile (since it no longer contains these instances) at the cost of
making Data.Data slightly more expensive to compile.
TH.Lift which depends on TH.Syntax can also compile quicker and no
longer blocks ghc-internal finishing to compile.

Handle heap allocation failure in I/O primops
The current I/O managers do not use allocateMightFail, but future ones
will. To support this properly we need to be able to return to the
primop with a failure. We simply use a bool return value.
Currently however, we will just throw an exception rather than calling
the GC because that's what all the other primops do too.
For the general issue of primops invoking GC and retrying, see

Rename it to startPendingSignalHandlers and deifine it as an inline

Each (new style) I/O manager is going to need to do the same, so eliminating
the duplication now makes sense.

Reduce detail in printThreadBlockage I/O blocking cases
The printThreadBlockage is used in debug tracing output.
For the cases BlockedOn{Read,Write,Delay} the output previously included
the fd that was being waited on, and the delay target wake time.
Superficially this sounds useful, but it's clearly not that useful
because it was already wrong for the Win32 non-threaded I/O manager. In
that situation it will print garbage (the async_result pointer, cast to
a fd or a time).
So given that it apparently never mattered that the information was
accurate, then it's hardly a big jump to say it doesn't matter if it is
present at all.
A good reason to remove it is that otherwise we have to make a new
API and a per-I/O manager implementation to fetch the information. And
for some I/O manager implementations, this information is not available.
It is not available in the win32 non-threaded I/O manager. And for some
future Linux ones, there is no need for the fd to be stored, so storing
it would be just extra space used for very little gain.
So the simplest thing is to just remove the detail.

Add TimeoutQueue.{c,h} and corresponding tests
A data structure used to efficiently manage a collection of timeouts.
It is a priority queue based on absolute expiry time. It uses 64bit
high-precision Time for the keys. The values are normal closures which
allows for example using MVars for unblocking.
It is common in many applications for timeouts to be created and then
deleted or altered before they expire. Thus the choice of data structure
for timeouts should support this efficiently. The implementation choice
here is a leftist heap with the extra feature that it supports deleting
arbitrary elements, provided the caller retain a pointer to the element.
While the deleteMin operation takes O(log n) time, as in all heap
structures, the delete operation for arbitrary elements /typically/
takes O(1), and only O(log n) in the worst case. In practice, when
managing thousands of timeouts it can be a factor of 10 faster to delete
a random timeout queue element than to remove the minimum element. This
supports the common use case.
The plan is to use it in some of the RTS-side I/O managers to support
their timer functionality. In this use case the heap value will be an
MVar used for each timeout to unblock waiting threads.

Add ClosureTable.{c,h} and corresponding tests
A table of pointers to closures on the GC heap with stable indexes.
It provides O(1) alloc, free and lookup. The table can be expanded
using a simple doubling strategy: in which case allocation is typically
O(1) and occasionally O(n) for overall amortised O(1). No shrinking is
used.
The table itself is heap allocated, and points to other heap objects.
As such it's necessary to use markClosureTable to ensure the table is
used as a GC root to keep the table entries alive, and maintain proper
pointers to them as the GC moves heap objects about.
It is designed to be allocated and accesses exclusively from a single
capability, enabling it to work without any locking. It is thus similar
to the StablePtr table, but per-capability which removes the need for
locking. It _should_ also provide lower GC pause times with the
non-moving GC by spending only O(1) time in markClosureTable, vs O(n)
for markStablePtrTable.
The plan is to use it in some of the I/O managers to keep track of
in-flight I/O operations (but not timers). This allows the tracking
info to be kept on the (unpinned) GC heap, and shared with Haskell
code, and by putting a pointer to the tracking information in a table,
the index remains stable and can be passed via foreign code (like the
kernel).

Add a new I/O manager based on poll()
This is a proof of concept I/O manager, to show how to add new ones
neatly, using the ClosureTable and TimeoutQueue infrastructure.
It uses the old unix poll() API, so it is of course limited in
performance by that, but it should have the benefit of wide
compatibility. Also we neatly avoid a name clash with the existing
select() I/O manager.
Compared to the select() I/O manager:
1. beause it uses poll() it is not limited to 1024 file descriptors
(but it's still O(n) so don't expect great performance);
2. it should have much faster threadDelay (when using it in lots of
threads at once) because it's based on the new TimeoutQueue which is
O(log n) rather than O(n).
Some of the code related to timers/timouts is put into a shared module
rts/posix/Timeout.{h,c} since it is intended to be shared with other
similar I/O managers.

Read Toolchain.Target files rather than 'settings'
This commit makes GHC read `lib/targets/default.target`, a file with a
serialized value of `ghc-toolchain`'s `GHC.Toolchain.Target`.
Moreover, it removes all the now-redundant entries from `lib/settings`
that are configured as part of a `Target` but were being written into
`settings`.
This makes it easier to support multiple targets from the same compiler
(aka runtime retargetability). `ghc-toolchain` can be re-run many times
standalone to produce a `Target` description for different targets, and,
in the future, GHC will be able to pick at runtime amongst different
`Target` files.
This commit only makes it read the default `Target` configured in-tree
or configured when installing the bindist.
The remaining bits of `settings` need to be moved to `Target` in follow
up commits, but ultimately they all should be moved since they are
per-target relevant.
Fixes #24212

ghc-toolchain: Move UseLibdw to per-Target file
To support DWARF unwinding, the RTS must be built with the -f+libdw flag
and with the -DUSE_LIBDW macro definition. These flags are passed on
build by Hadrian when --enable-dwarf-unwinding is specified at configure
time.
Whether the RTS was built with support for DWARF is a per-target
property, and as such, it was moved to the per-target
GHC.Toolchain.Target.Target file.
Additionally, we keep in the target file the include and library paths
for finding libdw, since libdw should be checked at configure time (be
it by configure, or ghc-toolchain, that libdw is properly available).
Preserving the user-given include paths for libdw facilitates in the
future building the RTS on demand for a given target (if we didn't keep
that user input, we couldn't)

Solve forall-constraints immediately, or not at all
I used a all-or-nothing strategy for quantified constraints
(aka forall-constraints). But alas that fell foul of #26315,
and #26376.
So this MR goes back to solving a quantified constraint by
turning it into an implication; UNLESS we are simplifying
constraints from a SPECIALISE pragma, in which case the
all-or-nothing strategy is great. See:
Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint]
Other stuff in this MR:
* TcSMode becomes a record of flags, rather than an enumeration
type; much nicer.
* Some fancy footwork to avoid error messages worsening again
(The above MR made them better; we want to retain that.)

table lean, which benefits platforms with slow dynamic linker or even
hard limits about how many symbols can be exported (e.g. macos dyld,
win32 dll and wasm dyld).

This reverts commit 731217ce68a1093b5f9e26a07d5bd2cdade2b352.
Benchmarks show non-negligible overhead when browser runs on the same
host, which is the majority of actual use cases.

wasm: remove etag logic in ghci browser mode web server
This commit removes the etag logic in dyld script's ghci browser mode
web server. It was meant to support caching logic of wasm shared
libraries, but even if the port is manually specified to make caching
even relevant, for localhost the extra overhead around etag logic is
simply not worth it according to benchmarks.

Shorten in-module links in hyperlinked source

by Oleg Grenrus at 2025-09-17T04:46:42-04:00
Use showUnique in internalAnchorIdent
Showing the key of Unique as a number is generally not a great idea.
GHC Unique has a tag in high bits, so the raw number is unnecessarily
big.
So now we have
```html
<a href="#l-rvgK"><span class="hs-identifier hs-var hs-var">bar</span></a>
```
instead of
```html
<a href="#local-6989586621679015689"><span class="hs-identifier hs-var hs-var">bar</span></a>
```
Together with previous changes of shorter intra-module links the effect
on compressed files is not huge, that is expected as we simply remove
repetitive contents which pack well.
```
12_694_206 Agda-2.9.0-docs-orig.tar.gz
12_566_065 Agda-2.9.0-docs.tar.gz
```
However when unpacked, the difference can be significant,
e.g. Agda's largest module source got 5% reduction:
```
14_230_117 Agda.Syntax.Parser.Parser.html
13_422_109 Agda.Syntax.Parser.Parser.html
```
The whole hyperlinked source code directory got similar reduction
```
121M Agda-2.9.0-docs-orig/src
114M Agda-2.9.0-docs/src
```
For the reference, sources are about 2/3 of the generated haddocks
```
178M Agda-2.9.0-docs-old
172M Agda-2.9.0-docs
```
so we get around 3.5% size reduction overall. Not bad for a small local
changes.

rts: Fix alignment for gen_workspace #26334
After a0fa4941903272c48b050d24e93eec819eff51bd bootstrap is broken on
s390x and errors out with
rts/sm/GCThread.h:207:5: error:
error: alignment of array elements is greater than element size
207 | gen_workspace gens[];
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
The alignment constraint is applied via the attribute to the type
gen_workspace and leaves the underlying type struct gen_workspace_
untouched. On Aarch64, x86, and s390x the struct has a size of 128
bytes. On Aarch64 and x86 the alignments of 128 and 64 are divisors of
the size, respectively, which is why the type is a viable member type
for an array. However, on s390x, the alignment is 256 and therefore is
not a divisor of the size and hence cannot be used for arrays.
Basically I see two fixes here. Either decrease the alignment
requirement on s390x, or by applying the alignment constraint on the
struct itself. The former might affect performance as noted in
a0fa4941903272c48b050d24e93eec819eff51bd. The latter introduces padding
bits whenever necessary in order to ensure that
sizeof(gen_workspace[N])==N*sizeof(gen_workspace) holds which is done by
this patch.

ghci: add :shell command
This patch adds a new :shell command to ghci which works similarly to
:!, except it guarantees to run the command via sh -c. On POSIX hosts
the behavior is identical to :!, but on Windows it uses the msys2
shell instead of system cmd.exe shell. This is convenient when writing
simple ghci scripts that run simple POSIX commands, and the behavior
can be expected to be coherent on both Windows and POSIX.

This commit ensures that, when we encounter an invalid record update
(because no constructor exists which contains all of the record fields
mentioned in the record update), we graciously handle the situation in

instead of looking up the constructors in the GlobalRdrEnv, directly
look up their GREInfo using the lookupGREInfo function.

Enable TcM plugins in initTc
This commit ensures that we run typechecker plugins and defaulting
plugins whenever we call initTc.
In particular, this ensures that the pattern-match checker, which calls
'initTcDsForSolver' which calls 'initTc', runs with typechecker plugins
enabled. This matters for situations like:
merge :: Vec n a -> Vec n a -> Vec (2 * n) a
merge Nil Nil = Nil
merge (a <: as) (b <: bs) = a :< (b <: merge as bs)
in which we need the typechecker plugin to run in order to tell us that
the Givens would be inconsistent in the additional equation
merge (_ <: _) Nil
and thus that the equation is not needed.

Improve pretty printer for HsExpr
Given a very deeply-nested application, it just kept printing
deeper and deeper. This small change makes it cut off.
Test is in #26330, but we also get a dramatic decrease in compile
time for perf/compiler/InstanceMatching:
InstanceMatching 4,086,884,584 1,181,767,232 -71.1% GOOD
Why? Because before we got a GIGANTIC error message that took
ages to pretty-print; now we get this much more civilised message
(I have removed some whitespace.)
Match.hs:1007:1: error:
• No instance for ‘Show (F001 a)’ arising from a use of ‘showsPrec’
• In the second argument of ‘showString’, namely
‘(showsPrec

-----------------------
The main payload is
* At the start of `pprExpr`
* In the defn of `pprApp`
A little bit of refactoring:
* It turned out that we were setting the default cut-off depth to a
fixed value in two places, so changing one didn't change the other.
See defaultSDocDepth and defaultSDocCols
* I refactored `pprDeeperList` a bit so I could understand it better.
Because the depth calculation has changed, there are lots of small
error message wibbles.

By mistake we tried to use deriveConstants without passing

This patch:
1. adds parsing support for constants stored in the .bss section (i.e.
when -fcommon isn't passed)
2. enables passing `-fcommon` automatically to the C compiler because
Windows requires this for subtle reasons
3. Documents the subtle reasons
(1) isn't strictly necessary because we always do (2) but it does no
harm and it is still useful if the CC flags ever contain -fno-common

Fix tabs in string gaps (#26415)
Tabs in string gaps were broken in bb030d0d because previously, string gaps were manually parsed, but now it's lexed by the usual Alex grammar and post-processed after successful lexing.
It broke because of a discrepancy between GHC's lexer grammar and the Haskell Report. The Haskell Report includes tabs in whitechar:
whitechar → newline | vertab | space | tab | uniWhite
$whitechar used to include tabs until 18 years ago, when it was removed in order to exclude tabs from $white_no_nl in order to warn on tabs: 6e202120. In this MR, I'm adding \t back into $whitechar, and explicitly excluding \t from the $white_no_nl+ rule ignoring all whitespace in source code, which more accurately colocates the "ignore all whitespace except tabs, which is handled in the next line" logic.
As a side effect of this MR, tabs are now allowed in pragmas; currently, a pragma written as {-# \t LANGUAGE ... #-} is interpreted as the tab character being the pragma name, and GHC warns "Unrecognized pragma". With this change, tabs are ignored as whitespace, which more closely matches the Report anyway.

This patch removes the `--no-turbo-fast-api-calls` hack from the dyld
script shebang; it was used to workaround v8 fast call coredumps in
nodejs and no longer needed, and comes with a performance penalty,
hence the removal.

Remove hptAllInstances usage during upsweep
Previously, during the upsweep phase when
checking safe imports, we were loading the module
interface with runTcInteractive, which in turn calls
hptAllInstances. This accesses non-below modules
from the home package table.
Change the implementation of checkSafeImports
to use initTcWithGbl and loadSysInterface to load the
module interface, since we already have TcGblEnv at hand.
This eliminates the unnecessary use of runTcInteractive
and hptAllInstances during the upsweep phase.

rts: fix wasm JSFFI initialization constructor code
This commit fixes wasm JSFFI initialization constructor code so that
the constructor is self-contained and avoids invoking a fake
__main_argc_argv function. The previous approach of reusing
__main_void logic in wasi-libc saves a tiny bit of code, at the
expense of link-time trouble whenever GHC links a wasm module without
-no-hs-main, in which case the driver-generated main function would
clash with the definition here, resulting in a linker error. It's
simply better to avoid messing with the main function, and it would
additionally allow linking wasm32-wasi command modules that does make
use of synchronous JSFFI.

compiler/ghci: replace the LoadDLL message with LoadDLLs
As a part of #25407, this commit changes the LoadDLL message to
LoadDLLs, which takes a list of DLL paths to load and returns the list
of remote pointer handles. The wasm dyld is refactored to take
advantage of LoadDLLs and harvest background parallelism. On other
platforms, LoadDLLs is based on a fallback codepath that does
sequential loading.
The driver is not actually emitting singular LoadDLLs message with
multiple DLLs yet, this is left in subsequent commits.

This commit refactors GHC.Linker.Loader.loadPackages' to be separated
into downsweep/upsweep phases:

- The upsweep phase sequentially loads these packages by calling
loadPackage
This is a necessary refactoring to make it possible to make loading of
DLLs concurrent.

rts: Fix lost wakeups in threadPaused for threads blocked on black holes
The lazy blackholing code in threadPaused could overwrite closures
that were already eagerly blackholed, and as such wouldn't have a
marked update frame. If the black hole was overwritten by its
original owner, this would lead to an undetected collision, and
the contents of any existing blocking queue being lost.
This adds a check for eagerly blackholed closures and avoids
overwriting their contents.

cleanup: Drop obsolete comment about HsConDetails
HsConDetails used to have an argument representing the type of the
tyargs in a list:
data HsConDetails tyarg arg rec
= PrefixCon [tyarg] [arg]
This datatype was shared across 3 synonyms: HsConPatDetails,
HsConDeclH98Details, HsPatSynDetails. In the latter two cases, `tyarg`
was instanced to `Void` meaning the list was always empty for these
cases.
In 7b84c58867edca57a45945a20a9391724db6d9e4, this was refactored such
that HsConDetails no longer needs a type of tyargs by construction. The
first case now represents the type arguments in the args type itself,
with something like:
ConPat "MkE" [InvisP tp1, InvisP tp2, p1, p2]
So the deleted comment really is just obsolete.

Improve how we detect user type errors in types
This commit cleans up all the code responsible for detecting whether a
type contains "TypeError msg" applications nested inside it. All the
logic is now in 'userTypeError_maybe', which is always deep. Whether
it looks inside type family applications is determined by the passed-in
boolean flag:
- When deciding whether a constraint is definitely insoluble, don't
look inside type family applications, as they may still reduce -- in
which case the TypeError could disappear.
- When reporting unsolved constraints, look inside type family
applications: they had the chance to reduce but didn't, and the
custom type error might contain valuable information.
All the details are explained in Note [Custom type errors in constraints]
in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint.
Another benefit of this change is that it allows us to get rid of the
deeply dodgy 'getUserTypeErrorMsg' function.
This commit also improves the detection of custom type errors, for
example in equality constraints:
TypeError blah ~# rhs
It used to be the case that we didn't detect the TypeError on the LHS,
because we never considered that equality constraints could be insoluble
due to the presence of custom type errors. Addressing this oversight
improves detection of redundant pattern match warnings, fixing #26400.

Improvements to 'mayLookIdentical'
This commit makes significant improvements to the machinery that decides
when we should pretty-print the "invisible bits" of a type, such as:
- kind applications, e.g. '@k' in 'Proxy @k ty'
- RuntimeReps, e.g. 'TYPE r'
- multiplicities and linear arrows 'a %1 -> b'
To do this, this commit refactors 'mayLookIdentical' to return **which**
of the invisible bits don't match up, e.g. in
(a %1 -> b) ~ (a %Many -> b)
we find that the invisible bit that doesn't match up is a multiplicity,
so we should set 'sdocLinearTypes = True' when pretty-printing, and with
e.g.
Proxy @k1 ~ Proxy @k2
we find that the invisible bit that doesn't match up is an invisible
TyCon argument, so we set 'sdocPrintExplicitKinds = True'.
We leverage these changes to remove the ad-hoc treatment of linearity
of data constructors with 'dataConDisplayType' and 'dataConNonLinearType'.
This is now handled by the machinery of 'pprWithInvisibleBits'.

Add support for generating bytecode objects
This commit adds the `-fwrite-byte-code` option which makes GHC emit a
`.gbc` file which contains a serialised representation of bytecode.
The bytecode can be loaded by the compiler to avoid having to
reinterpret a module when using the bytecode interpreter (for example,
in GHCi).
There are also the new options:
* -gbcdir=<DIR>: Specify the directory to place the gbc files
* -gbcsuf=<suffix>: Specify the suffix for gbc files
The option `-fbyte-code-and-object-code` now implies
`-fwrite-byte-code`.

testsuite: fix T3586 for non-SSE3 platforms
`T3586.hs` contains `-fvia-C -optc-msse3` which I think is a
best-effort basis to harvest the C compiler's auto vectorization
optimizations via the C backend back when the test was added. The
`-fvia-C` part is now a deprecated no-op because GHC can't fall back
to the C backend on a non-unregisterised build, and `-optc-msse3`
might actually cause the test to fail on non x86/x64 platforms, e.g.
recent builds of wasi-sdk would report `wasm32-wasi-clang: error:
unsupported option '-msse3' for target 'wasm32-unknown-wasi'`.
So this patch cleans up this historical cruft. `-fvia-C` is removed,
and `-optc-msse3` is only passed when cpuid contains `pni` (which
indicates support of SSE3).

Allow per constructor refinement of distinct-constructor-tables
Introduce `-fno-distinct-constructor-tables`. A distinct constructor table
configuration is built from the combination of flags given, in order. For
example, to only generate distinct constructor tables for a few specific
constructors and no others, just pass
`-fdistinct-constructor-tables-only=C1,...,CN`.
This flag can be supplied multiple times to extend the set of
constructors to generate a distinct info table for.
You can disable generation of distinct constructor tables for all
configurations by passing `-fno-distinct-constructor-tables`.
The various configurations of these flags is included in the `DynFlags`
fingerprints, which should result in the expected recompilation logic.
Adds a test that checks for distinct tables for various given or omitted
constructors.
Updates CountDepsAst and CountDepsParser tests to account for new dependencies.

Don't prematurely final-zonk PatSyn declarations
This commit makes GHC hold off on the final zonk for pattern synonym
declarations, in 'GHC.Tc.TyCl.PatSyn.tc_patsyn_finish'.
This accommodates the fact that pattern synonym declarations without a
type signature can contain unfilled metavariables, e.g. if the RHS of
the pattern synonym involves view-patterns whose type mentions promoted
(level 0) metavariables. Just like we do for ordinary function bindings,
we should allow these metavariables to be settled later, instead of
eagerly performing a final zonk-to-type.
Now, the final zonking-to-type for pattern synonyms is performed in
GHC.Tc.Module.zonkTcGblEnv.

Move code-gen aux symbols from ghc-internal to rts
These symbols were all previously defined in ghc-internal and made the
dependency structure awkward, where the rts may refer to some of these
symbols and had to work around that circular dependency the way
described in #26166.
Moreover, the code generator will produce code that uses these symbols!
Therefore, they should be available in the rts:
PRINCIPLE: If the code generator may produce code which uses this
symbol, then it should be defined in the rts rather than, say,
ghc-internal.
That said, the main motivation is towards fixing #26166.

Add hints for unsolved HasField constraints
This commit adds hints and explanations for unsolved 'HasField'
constraints.
GHC will now provide additional explanations for an unsolved constraint
of the form 'HasField fld_name rec_ty fld_ty'; the details are laid out in
Note [Error messages for unsolved HasField constraints], but briefly:
1. Provide similar name suggestions (e.g. mis-spelled field name)
and import suggestions (record field not in scope).
These result in actionable 'GhcHints', which is helpful to provide
code actions in HLS.
2. Explain why GHC did not solve the constraint, e.g.:
- 'fld_name' is not a string literal (e.g. a type variable)
- 'rec_ty' is a TyCon without any fields, e.g. 'Int' or 'Bool'.
- 'fld_ty' contains existentials variables or foralls.
- The record field is a pattern synonym field (GHC does not generate
HasField instances for those).
- 'HasField' is a custom 'TyCon', not actually the built-in
'HasField' typeclass from 'GHC.Records'.
On the way, we slightly refactor the mechanisms for import suggestions
in GHC.Rename.Unbound. This is to account for the fact that, for
'HasField', we don't care whether the field is imported qualified or
unqualified. 'importSuggestions' was refactored, we now have
'sameQualImportSuggestions' and 'anyQualImportSuggestions'.

OccAnal: Be stricter for better compiler perf.
In particular we are now stricter:
* When combining usageDetails.
* When computing binder info.
In combineUsageDetails when combining the underlying adds we compute a
new `LocalOcc` for each entry by combining the two existing ones.
Rather than wait for those entries to be forced down the road we now
force them immediately. Speeding up T26425 by about 10% with little
effect on the common case.
We also force binders we put into the Core AST everywhere now.
Failure to do so risks leaking the occ env used to set the binders
OccInfo.
For T26425 compiler residency went down by a factor of ~10x.
Compile time also improved by a factor of ~1.6.

Fix namespace specifiers in subordinate exports (#12488)
This patch fixes an oversight in the `lookupChildrenExport` function that
caused explicit namespace specifiers of subordinate export items to be
ignored:
module M (T (type A)) where -- should be rejected
data T = A
Based on the `IEWrappedName` data type, there are 5 cases to consider:
1. Unadorned name: P(X)
2. Named default: P(default X)
3. Pattern synonym: P(pattern X)
4. Type name: P(type X)
5. Data name: P(data X)
Case 1 is already handled correctly; cases 2 and 3 are parse errors; and
it is cases 4 and 5 that we are concerned with in this patch.
Following the precedent established in `LookupExactName`, we introduce
a boolean flag in `LookupChildren` to control whether to look up in all
namespaces or in a specific one. If an export item is accompanied by an
explicit namespace specifier `type` or `data`, we restrict the lookup in
`lookupGRE` to a specific namespace.
The newly introduced diagnostic `TcRnExportedSubordinateNotFound`
provides error messages and suggestions more tailored to this context
than the previously used `reportUnboundName`.

wasm: support running dyld fully client side in the browser
This commit refactors the wasm dyld script so that it can be used to
load and run wasm shared libraries fully client-side in the browser
without needing a wasm32-wasi-ghci backend:
- A new `DyLDBrowserHost` class is exported, which runs in the browser
and uses the in-memory vfs without any RPC calls. This meant to be
used to create a `rpc` object for the fully client side use cases.
- The exported `main` function now can be used to load user-specified
shared libraries, and the user can use the returned `DyLD` instance
to run their own exported Haskell functions.
- The in-browser wasi implementation is switched to
https://github.com/haskell-wasm/browser_wasi_shim for bugfixes and
major performance improvements not landed upstream yet.
- When being run by deno, it now correctly switches to non-nodejs code
paths, so it's more convenient to test dyld logic with deno.
See added comments for details, as well as the added `playground001`
test case for an example of using it to build an in-browser Haskell
playground.

Refactor fundep solving
This commit is a large-scale refactor of the increasingly-messy code that
handles functional dependencies. It has virtually no effect on what compiles
but improves error messages a bit. And it does the groundwork for #23162.
The big picture is described in
Note [Overview of functional dependencies in type inference]
in GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps
* New module GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps contains all the fundep-handling
code for the constraint solver.
* Fundep-equalities are solved in a nested scope; they may generate
unifications but otherwise have no other effect.
See GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps.solveFunDeps
The nested needs to start from the Givens in the inert set, but
not the Wanteds; hence a new function `resetInertCans`, used in
`nestFunDepsTcS`.
* That in turn means that fundep equalities never show up in error
messages, so the complicated FunDepOrigin tracking can all disappear.
* We need to be careful about tracking unifications, so we kick out
constraints from the inert set after doing unifications. Unification
tracking has been majorly reformed: see Note [WhatUnifications] in
GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.
A good consequence is that the hard-to-grok `resetUnificationFlag`
has been replaced with a simpler use of
`reportCoarseGrainUnifications`
Smaller things:
* Rename `FunDepEqn` to `FunDepEqns` since it contains multiple
type equalities.

QuickLook's tcInstFun should make instantiation variables directly
tcInstFun must make "instantiation variables", not regular
unification variables, when instantiating function types. That was
previously implemented by a hack: set the /ambient/ level to QLInstTyVar.
But the hack finally bit me, when I was refactoring WhatUnifications.
And it was always wrong: see the now-expunged (TCAPP2) note.
This commit does it right, by making tcInstFun call its own
instantiation functions. That entails a small bit of duplication,
but the result is much, much cleaner.

Build implication for constraints from (static e)
This commit addresses #26466, by buiding an implication for the
constraints arising from a (static e) form. The implication has
a special ic_info field of StaticFormSkol, which tells the constraint
solver to use an empty set of Givens.
See (SF3) in Note [Grand plan for static forms]
in GHC.Iface.Tidy.StaticPtrTable
This commit also reinstates an `assert` in GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality.
The test `StaticPtrTypeFamily` was failing with an assertion failure,

This refactor substantially improves the treatment of so-called
"rewriter-sets" in the constraint solver.
The story is described in the rewritten
Note [Wanteds rewrite Wanteds: rewriter-sets]

Some highlights
* Trace the free coercion holes of a filled CoercionHole,
in CoercionPlusHoles. See Note [Coercion holes] (COH5)
This avoids taking having to take the free coercion variables
of a coercion when zonking a rewrriter-set
* Many knock on changes
* Make fillCoercionHole take CoercionPlusHoles as its argument
rather than to separate arguments.
* Similarly setEqIfWanted, setWantedE, wrapUnifierAndEmit.
* Be more careful about passing the correct CoHoleSet to
`rewriteEqEvidence` and friends
* Make kickOurAfterFillingCoercionHole more clever. See
new Note [Kick out after filling a coercion hole]
Smaller matters
* Rename RewriterSet to CoHoleSet
* Add special-case helper `rewriteEqEvidenceSwapOnly`

Do not treat CoercionHoles as free variables in coercions
This fixes a long-standing wart in the free-variable finder;
now CoercionHoles are no longer treated as a "free variable"
of a coercion.
I got big and unexpected performance regressions when making
this change. Turned out that CallArity didn't discover that
the free variable finder could be eta-expanded, which gave very
poor code.
So I re-used Note [The one-shot state monad trick] for Endo,
resulting in GHC.Utils.EndoOS. Very simple, big win.

This fixes two problems with handling eager black holes, introduced
by a1de535f762bc23d4cf23a5b1853591dda12cdc9.
- the closure mutation must be recorded even for eager black holes,
since the mutator has mutated it before calling threadPaused
- The assertion that an unmarked eager black hole must be owned by
the TSO calling threadPaused is incorrect, since multiple threads
can race to claim the black hole.

ASSERT(eb->begin + eb->size > eb->pos + len + 1);
Let's assume some values to see why this is actually off by one:
eb->begin = 0
eb->size = 1
eb->pos = 0
len = 1
then the assertion would trigger correctly:
0 + 1 > 0 + 1 + 1 => 1 > 2 => false
as there is not enough space for the \0 byte (which is the trailing +1).
However, if we change `eb->size = 2`, then we do have enough space for a
string of length 1, but the assertion still fails:
0 + 2 > 0 + 1 + 1 => 2 > 2 => false
Which causes the assertion to fail if there is exactly enough space for
the string with a trailing \0 byte.
Clearly, the assertion should be `>=`!
If we switch around the operand, it should become more obvious that `<=`
is the correct comparison:
ASSERT(eb->pos + len + 1 <= eb->begin + eb->size);
This is expresses more naturally that the current position plus the
length of the string (and the null byte) must be smaller or equal to the
overall size of the buffer.
This change also is in line with the implementation in
`hasRoomForEvent` and `hasRoomForVariableEvent`:
```
StgBool hasRoomForEvent(EventsBuf *eb, EventTypeNum eNum)
{
uint32_t size = ...;
if (eb->pos + size > eb->begin + eb->size)
...
```
the check `eb->pos + size > eb->begin + eb->size` is identical to
`eb->pos + size <= eb->begin + eb->size` plus a negation.

rts: use computed goto for instruction dispatch in the bytecode interpreter
This patch uses computed goto for instruction dispatch in the bytecode
interpreter. Previously instruction dispatch is done by a classic
switch loop, so executing the next instruction requires two jumps: one
to the start of the switch loop and another to the case block based on
the instruction tag. By using computed goto, we can build a jump table
consisted of code addresses indexed by the instruction tags
themselves, so executing the next instruction requires only one jump,
to the destination directly fetched from the jump table.
Closes #12953.

Correct hasFixedRuntimeRep in matchExpectedFunTys
This commit fixes a bug in the representation-polymormorphism check in
GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.matchExpectedFunTys. The problem was that we put
the coercion resulting from hasFixedRuntimeRep in the wrong place,
leading to the Core Lint error reported in #26528.
The change is that we have to be careful when using 'mkWpFun': it
expects **both** the expected and actual argument types to have a
syntactically fixed RuntimeRep, as explained in Note [WpFun-FRR-INVARIANT]
in GHC.Tc.Types.Evidence.
On the way, this patch improves some of the commentary relating to
other usages of 'mkWpFun' in the compiler, in particular in the view
pattern case of 'tc_pat'. No functional changes, but some stylistic
changes to make the code more readable, and make it easier to understand
how we are upholding the WpFun-FRR-INVARIANT.

Preserve user-written kinds in data declarations
This commit ensures that we preserve the user-written kind for data
declarations, e.g. in
type T2T = Type -> Type
type D :: T2T
data D a where { .. }
that we preserve the user-written kind of D as 'T2T', instead of
expanding the type synonym 'T2T' during kind checking.
We do this by storing 'tyConKind' separately from 'tyConResKind'. This
means that 'tyConKind' is not necessarily equal to
'mkTyConKind binders res_kind', as e.g. in the above example the former
is 'T2T' while the latter is 'Type -> Type'.
This is explained in Note [Preserve user-written TyCon kind] in GHC.Core.TyCon.
This is particularly important for Haddock, as the kinds stored in
interface files affect the generated documentation, and we want to
preserve the user-written types as much as possible.

Store user-written datacon tvs in interface files
This commit ensures we store the user-written quantified type variables
of data constructors in interface files, e.g. in
data D a where
MkD1 :: forall x. x -> D x
MkD2 :: forall u v. u -> v -> D v
The previous behaviour was to rename the universal variables to match
the universal variables of the data constructor. This was undesirable
because the names that end up in interface files end up mattering for
generated Haddock documentation; it's better to preserve the user-written
type variables.
Moreover, the universal variables may not have been user-written at all,
e.g. in an example such as:
type T2T = Type -> Type
data G :: T2T where
MkG :: forall x. D x
Here GHC will invent the type variable name 'a' for the first binder of
the TyCon G. We really don't want to then rename the user-written 'x'
into the generated 'a'.

DataCon univ_tvs names: pick TyCon over inferred
This commit changes how we compute the names of universal type variables
in GADT data constructors. This augments the existing logic that chose
which type variable name to use, in GHC.Tc.TyCl.mkGADTVars. We continue
to prefer DataCon tv names for user-written binders, but we now prefer
TyCon tv names for inferred (non-user-written) DataCon binders.
This makes a difference in examples such as:
type (:~~:) :: k1 -> k2 -> Type
data a :~~: b where
HRefl :: a :~~: a
Before this patch, we ended up giving HRefl the type:
forall {k2}. forall (a :: k2). a :~~: a
whereas we now give it the type:
forall {k1}. forall (a :: k1). a :~~: a
The important part isn't really 'k1' or 'k2', but more that the inferred
type variable names of the DataCon can be arbitrary/unpredictable (as
they are chosen by GHC and depend on how unification proceeds), so it's
much better to use the more predictable TyCon type variable names.

Store # eta binders in TyCon and use for Haddock
This commit stores the number of TyCon binders that were introduced by
eta-expansion (by the function GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.splitTyConKind).
This is then used to pretty-print the TyCon as the user wrote it, e.g.
for
type Effect :: (Type -> Type) -> Type -> Type
data State s :: Effect where {..} -- arity 3
GHC will eta-expand the data declaration to
data State s a b where {..}
but also store in the 'TyCon' that the number of binders introduced by
this eta expansion is 2. This allows us, in
'Haddock.Convert.synifyTyConKindSig', to recover the original user-written
syntax, preserving the user's intent in Haddock documentation.
See Note [Inline kind signatures with GADTSyntax] in Haddock.Convert.

localRegistersConflict: account for assignment LHS
This commit fixes a serious oversight in GHC.Cmm.Sink.conflicts,
specifically the code that computes which local registers conflict
between an assignment and a Cmm statement.
If we have:
assignment: <local_reg> = <expr>
node: <local_reg> = <other_expr>
then clearly the two conflict, because we cannot move one statement past
the other, as they assign two different values to the same local
register. (Recall that 'conflicts (local_reg,expr) node' is False if and
only if the assignment 'local_reg = expr' can be safely commuted past
the statement 'node'.)
The fix is to update 'GHC.Cmm.Sink.localRegistersConflict' to take into
account the following two situations:
(1) 'node' defines the LHS local register of the assignment,
(2) 'node' defines a local register used in the RHS of the assignment.
The bug is precisely that we were previously missing condition (1).

Update assigned register format when spilling
When we come to spilling a register to put new data into it, in
GHC.CmmToAsm.Reg.Linear.allocRegsAndSpill_spill, we need to:
1. Spill the data currently in the register. That is, do a spill
with a format that matches what's currently in the register.
2. Update the register assignment, allocating a virtual register to
this real register, but crucially **updating the format** of this
assignment.
Due to shadowing in the Haskell code for allocRegsAndSpill_spill, we
were mistakenly re-using the old format. This could lead to a situation
where:
a. We were using xmm6 to store a Double#.
b. We want to store a DoubleX2# into xmm6, so we spill the current
content of xmm6 to the stack using a scalar move (correct).
c. We update the register assignment, but we fail to update the format
of the assignment, so we continue to think that xmm6 stores a
Double# and not a DoubleX2#.
d. Later on, we need to spill xmm6 because it is getting clobbered by
another instruction. We then decide to only spill the lower 64 bits
of the register, because we still think that xmm6 only stores a
Double# and not a DoubleX2#.

Issue #24279 showed up a bug in the logic in GHC.Core.Unify.unify_ty

JS: support more than 128 registers (#26558)
The JS backend only supported 128 registers (JS variables/array slots
used to pass function arguments). It failed in T26537 when 129
registers were required.
This commit adds support for more than 128 registers: it is now limited to
maxBound :: Int (compiler's Int). If we ever go above this threshold the
compiler now panics with a more descriptive message.
A few built-in JS functions were assuming 128 registers and have been
rewritten to use loops. Note that loops are only used for "high"
registers that are stored in an array: the 31 "low" registers are still
handled with JS global variables and with explicit switch-cases to
maintain good performance in the most common cases (i.e. few registers
used). Adjusting the number of low registers is now easy: just one
constant to adjust (GHC.StgToJS.Regs.lowRegsCount).
No new test added: T26537 is used as a regression test instead.

SimpleOpt: refactor & push coercions into lambdas
This commit improves the simple optimiser (in GHC.Core.SimpleOpt)
in a couple of ways:
- The logic to push coercion lambdas is shored up.
The function 'pushCoercionIntoLambda' used to be called in 'finish_app',
but this meant we could not continue to optimise the program after
performing this transformation.
Now, we call 'pushCoercionIntoLambda' as part of 'simple_app'.
Doing so can be important when dealing with unlifted newtypes,
as explained in Note [Desugaring unlifted newtypes].
- The code is re-structured to avoid duplication and out-of-sync
code paths.
Now, 'simple_opt_expr' defers to 'simple_app' for the 'App', 'Var',
'Cast' and 'Lam' cases. This means all the logic for those is
centralised in a single place (e.g. the 'go_lam' helper function).
To do this, the general structure is brought a bit closer to the
full-blown simplifier, with a notion of 'continuation'
(see 'SimpleContItem').
This commit also modifies GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.pushCoercionIntoLambda to
apply a substitution (a slight generalisation of its existing implementation).

mkCast: weaken bad cast warning for multiplicity
This commit weakens the warning message emitted when constructing a bad
cast in mkCast to ignore multiplicity.
Justification: since b33284c7, GHC uses sub-multiplicity coercions to
typecheck data constructors. The coercion optimiser is free to discard
these coercions, both for performance reasons, and because GHC's Core
simplifier does not (yet) preserve linearity.
We thus weaken 'mkCast' to use 'eqTypeIgnoringMultiplicity' instead of
'eqType', to avoid getting many spurious warnings about mismatched
multiplicities.

Switch off specialisation in ExactPrint
In !15057 (where we re-introduced -fpolymoprhic-specialisation) we found
that ExactPrint's compile time blew up by a factor of 5. It turned out
to be caused by bazillions of specialisations of `markAnnotated`.
Since ExactPrint isn't perf-critical, it does not seem worth taking
the performance hit, so this patch switches off specialisation in
this one module.

Switch -fpolymorphic-specialisation on by default
This patch addresses #23559.
Now that !10479 has landed and #26329 is fixed, we can switch on
polymorphic specialisation by default, addressing a bunch of other
tickets listed in #23559.
Metric changes:
* CoOpt_Singleton: +4% compiler allocations: we just get more
specialisations
* info_table_map_perf: -20% decrease in compiler allocations.
This is caused by using -fno-specialise in ExactPrint.hs
Without that change we get a 4x blow-up in compile time;
see !15058 for details
Metric Decrease:
info_table_map_perf
Metric Increase:
CoOpt_Singletons

rts: Fix a deadlock with eventlog flush interval and RTS shutdown
The ghc_ticker thread attempts to flush at the eventlog tick interval, this requires
waiting to take all capabilities.
At the same time, the main thread is shutting down, the schedule is
stopped and then we wait for the ticker thread to finish.
Therefore we are deadlocked.
The solution is to use `newBoundTask/exitMyTask`, so that flushing can
cooperate with the scheduler shutdown.
Fixes #26573

SimpleOpt: don't subst in pushCoercionIntoLambda
It was noticed in #26589 that the change in 15b311be was incorrect:
the simple optimiser carries two different substitution-like pieces of
information: 'soe_subst' (from InVar to OutExpr) and 'soe_inl'
(from InId to InExpr). It is thus incorrect to have 'pushCoercionIntoLambda'
apply the substitution from 'soe_subst' while discarding 'soe_inl'
entirely, which is what was done in 15b311be.
Instead, we change back pushCoercionIntoLambda to take an InScopeSet,
and optimise the lambda before calling 'pushCoercionIntoLambda' to avoid
mixing InExpr with OutExpr, or mixing two InExpr with different
environments. We can then call 'soeZapSubst' without problems.

ghci: Force bytecode to be evaluated after loading
Behaviour before: Bytecode is forced when you need it to evaluate an
expression in the interpreter.
Behaviour after: Bytecode is forced in parallel, in the background, after
the initial load is completed.
The goal is to increase percieved responsiveness of the interpreter
after a reload. If you do a reload and at a later point perform
evaluation, now the evaluation will start immediately, rather than
waiting first for all the byte code to be compiled.
Since the bytecode is evaluated in the background, the prompt can still
be used like normal to evaluate expressions or perform other queries.
2 * NUM_CAPABILITIES worker threads are spawned. The work to evaluate
the unforced bytecode is queued in a TChan which is then read by the
worker threads.
