recursion-ninja pushed to branch wip/TTG-No-Orphans at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 66d1a5d5 by fendor at 2026-07-07T16:57:56-04:00 Add 'backendInfoTableMapValidity' backend predicate Check whether the backend supports the `-finfo-table-map` flag and ignore it otherwise. Improve by-design documentation of `backendCodeOutput`. `Backend` is **abstract by design**. Make this clearer in `backendCodeOutput` which is incorrectly being used as a proxy for `Backend`. Instead, define the desired property predicates in GHC.Driver.Backend In the process, make `backendCodeOutput` total. - - - - - 74f1071d by fendor at 2026-07-07T16:57:56-04:00 Add failing test for `-finfo-table-map` and bytecode backend If you compile a module using the bytecode backend, with -finfo-table-map, then the info table map doesn't get populated for the module. This is because the -finfo-table-map code path is implemented mostly in the StgToCmm phase which isn't run when creating bytecode. Ticket #27039 - - - - - 28d63bca by mangoiv at 2026-07-07T16:59:16-04:00 ci: don't fail nightly if there have been no changes that night Fixes #27127 - - - - - 4ebfc478 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2026-07-08T04:47:53-04:00 ttg: Using ShortText over FastString in the AST To make the AST independent of GHC, this commit replaces usages of `FastString` with `HText` in the AST, killing the last edge from Language.Haskell.* to GHC.* modules. Even though we /do/ want to use FastStrings in general -- critically in Names or Ids -- there is no particular reason for the FastStrings that occur in the AST proper to be FastStrings. Strings in the AST are typically unique and don't benefit particularly from being interned FastStrings with Uniques for fast comparison. `HText` is a type synonym for `ShortText` which uses GHC's Modified UTF-8 encoding exclusively. Modified UTF-8 must be used to represent the Haskell AST because the Haskell Report allows surrogate code points. `Data.Text.Text` functions use Standard UTF-8 which replace surrogates with a placeholder value, thus `Data.Text.Text` is unsuitable for AST strings. See the `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Text` module header for more details.

This item could be checked immediately after sending the merge request though. If reviewers ask for amends later on, and the author amends the merge request, there was no item that would remind the contributors to squash the fixup commits before landing. This commit adds a new item After all approvals and before landing: all fixup commits are squashed with their originating commits. which should be harder to mark as done before approvals have been given. - - - - - 3d8477c7 by Recursion Ninja at 2026-07-08T14:40:57-04:00 First pass of orphan instance removal. This is part of a technical debt removal effort made possible now that seperating out the AST via TTG comes to a close. As the AST in 'L.H.S' has been incrementally separated from the GHC internals, there are many accumulated orphan instance of 'Binary', 'Outputable', 'Uniquable', etc. The orphan instance of data-types from within 'L.H.S' are having thier orphan instances moved to the module which defined the type-class; i.e. moving an orphan 'Binary' instance to 'GHC.Utils.Binary'. Orphan instances resolved (30): | Data-type | Type-class Instance(s) | Old Orphan Module | | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------- | | Role | Binary, NFData, Outputable | GHC.Core.Coercion.Axiom | | SrcStrictness | Binary, NFData, Outputable | GHC.Core.DataCon | | SrcUnpackedness | Binary, NFData, Outputable | GHC.Core.DataCon | | LexicalFixity | Outputable | GHC.Hs.Basic | | FixityDirection | Binary, Outputable | GHC.Hs.Basic | | Fixity | Binary, Outputable | GHC.Hs.Basic | | OverlapMode | Binary | GHC.Hs.Decls.Overlap | | WithHsDocIdentifiers | Outputable | GHC.Hs.Doc | | HsDocStringDecorator | Binary, Outputable | GHC.Hs.DocString | | HsDocStringChunk | Binary, Outputable | GHC.Hs.DocString | | NamespaceSpecifier | Outputable | GHC.Hs.ImpExp | | Specificity | Binary, NFData | GHC.Hs.Specificity | | ForAllTyFlag | Binary, NFData, Outputable | GHC.Hs.Specificity | | PromotionFlag | Binary, Outputable | GHC.Types.Basic | | FieldLabelString | Outputable | GHC.Types.FieldLabel | | InlinePragma | Binary | GHC.Types.InlinePragma | -
