Matthew Pickering pushed to branch wip/t26751 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 759fd15a by Andreas Klebinger at 2026-01-21T16:05:28-05:00 Don't build GHC with -Wcompat Without bumping the boot compiler the warnings it produces are often not actionable leading to pointless noise.

The underlying issue has been fixed in https://github.com/haskell/directory/commit/75828696e7145adc09179111a0d631b9... and present since 1.3.9.0, and hadrian directory lower bound is 1.3.9.0, so we can revert our own in house hack now. - - - - - 5efb58dc by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-21T16:07:36-05:00 rts: fix typo in TICK_ALLOC_RTS This patch fixes a typo in the `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` macro, the original `bytes` argument was silently dropped. The Cmm code has its own version of `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` not affected by this typo, it affected the C RTS, and went unnoticed because the variable `n` happened to also be available at its call site. But the number was incorrect. Also fixes its call site since `WDS()` is not available in C. - - - - - c406ea69 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-21T16:07:36-05:00 rts: remove broken & unused ALLOC_P_TICKY This patch removes the `ALLOC_P_TICKY` macro from the rts, it's unused, and its expanded code is already broken. - - - - - 34a27e20 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-21T16:08:17-05:00 Make the implicit-parameter class have representational role This MR addresses #26737, by making the built-in class IP have a representational role for its second parameter. See Note [IP: implicit parameter class] in ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Classes.IP In fact, IP is (unfortunately, currently) exposed by base:GHC.Base, so we ran a quick CLC proposal to agree the change: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/385 Some (small) compilations get faster because they only need to load (small) interface file GHC.Internal.Classes.IP.hi, rather than (large) GHC.Internal.Classes.hi.

The changes are not comprehensive, and there are still a lot of re.sub usages lingering around the tree, but this already addresses a major performance bottleneck in the testsuite driver that might has to do with quadratic or worse slowdown in cpython's regular expression engine when handling certain regex patterns with large strings. Especially on i386, and i386 jobs are the bottlenecks of all full-ci validate pipelines! Here are the elapsed times of testing x86_64/i386 with -j48 before this patch: x86_64: `Build completed in 6m06s` i386: `Build completed in 1h36m` And with this patch: x86_64: `Build completed in 4m55s` i386: `Build completed in 4m23s` Fixes #26786.

So this patch adds the missing `notCross` predicate in those places. - - - - - ee937134 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-22T09:00:10-05:00 Fix ghc-experimental GHC.Exception.Backtrace.Experimental module This module wasn't added to the cabal file so it was never compiled or included in the library. - - - - - 1b490f5a by Zubin Duggal at 2026-01-22T09:00:53-05:00 hadrian: Add ghc-{experimental,internal}.cabal to the list of dependencies of the doc target We need these files to detect the version of these libraries Fixes #26738 - - - - - cdb74049 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-22T14:52:36-05:00 rts: avoid Cmm loop to initialize Array#/SmallArray# Previously, `newArray#`/`newSmallArray#` called an RTS C function to allocate the `Array#`/`SmallArray#`, then used a Cmm loop to initialize the elements. Cmm doesn't have native for-loop so the code is a bit awkward, and it's less efficient than a C loop, since the C compiler can effectively vectorize the loop with optimizations. So this patch moves the loop that initializes the elements to the C side. `allocateMutArrPtrs`/`allocateSmallMutArrPtrs` now takes a new `init` argument and initializes the elements if `init` is non-NULL. - - - - - 4c784f00 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-22T14:53:19-05:00 Fix testsuite run for +ipe flavour transformer This patch makes the +ipe flavour transformer pass the entire testsuite: - An RTS debug option `-DI` is added, the IPE trace information is now only printed with `-DI`. The test cases that do require IPE trace are now run with `-DI`. - The testsuite config option `ghc_with_ipe` is added, enabled when running the testsuite with `+ipe`, which skips a few tests that are sensitive to eventlog output, allocation patterns etc that can fail under `+ipe`. This is the first step towards #26799.

We used to unconditionally push perf notes even in MRs, but the perf numbers in the wip branches wouldn't be used as baseline anyway, plus this is causing a space leak in the ghc-performance-notes repo. See #25317 for the perf notes repo size problem.

The YAML spec doesn't allow duplicate keys in the first place, and according to GitLab docs (https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/yaml_optimization/#anchors), the latest key overrides the earlier entries. - - - - - e5cb5491 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-24T07:12:34-05:00 hadrian: drop obsolete configure/make builder logic for libffi This patch drops obsolete hadrian logic around `Configure libffiPath`/`Make libffiPath` builders, they are no longer needed after libffi-clib has landed.

This commit makes `error` and `throw` behave the same with regard to backtraces. Previously, exceptions raised by `error` would not contain useful IPE backtraces. I did try and implement `error` in terms of `throw` but it started to involve putting diverging functions into hs-boot files, which seemed to risky if the compiler wouldn't be able to see if applying a function would diverge.
