Rodrigo Mesquita pushed to branch wip/romes/25636 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: cf841640 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2025-12-23T20:38:29+00:00 Allocate static constructors for bytecode This commit adds support for static constructors when compiling and linking ByteCode objects. Top-level StgRhsCon get lowered to ProtoStaticCons rather than to ProtoBCOs. A ProtoStaticCon gets allocated directly as a data con application on the heap (using the new primop newConApp#). Previously, we would allocate a ProtoBCO which, when evaluated, would PACK and return the constructor. A few more details are given in Note [Static constructors in Bytecode]. Secondly, this commit also fixes issue #25636 which was caused by linking *unlifted* constructors in BCO instructions as - (1) a thunk indexing the array of BCOs in a module - (2) which evaluated to a BCO which still had to be evaluated to return the unlifted constructor proper. The (2) issue has been resolved by allocating the static constructors directly. The (1) issue can be resolved by ensuring that we allocate all unlifted top-level constructors eagerly, and leave the knot-tying for the lifted BCOs and top-level constructors only. The top-level unlifted constructors are never mutually recursive, so we can allocate them all in one go as long as we do it in topological order. Lifted fields of unlifted constructors can still be filled by the knot-tied lifted variables since in those fields it is fine to keep those thunks. See Note [Tying the knot in createBCOs] for more details.
