Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/T26989 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 5fab2238 by Wolfgang Jeltsch at 2026-05-12T21:24:27+03:00 Introduce a cache of home module name providers This contribution introduces to the module graph a cache that maps home module names to sets of units providing them and changes the finder to use that cache. This is a performance optimization, especially for multi-home-unit builds. The particular changes are as follows: * In `GHC.Unit.Module.Graph`, `ModuleGraph` is extended with a new field `mg_home_module_name_providers_map`, exposed as `mgHomeModuleNameProvidersMap`. This is a cache that assigns to each home module name the set of IDs of home units that define it. Operations that construct module graphs are updated such that this cache stays synchronized. * In `GHC.Unit.Finder`, `findImportedModule` is changed to pull `mgHomeModuleNameProvidersMap` from `hsc_mod_graph` and pass it to `findImportedModuleNoHsc`, which now does not search home units in arbitrary order but prioritizes those units that the cache mentions as potential providers of the requested module. In addition, this contribution adds variants of the two multi-component compiler performance tests that use 100 units instead of 20, because with just 20 units the benefits from caching of home module name providers are still negligible. The following table shows the total time needed for running both multi-component tests before and after this contribution and with different numbers of units: | # of units | Before | After | |-----------:|-------:|------:| | 20 | 0:12 | 0:12 | | 100 | 0:47 | 0:42 | | 200 | 3:05 | 2:08 | Note that there seems to be a general overhead of 12 seconds that is not attributable to the actual tests, so that the real running times should be 12 seconds smaller than shown above. Resolves #27055.

The problem was that the typechecker was using `mkCast`, whose assertion checks legitimately fail when applied to types that contain unification variables. - - - - - 53d5efe0 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-05-16T14:15:06+01:00 Major refactor of the Simplifier The main payload of this patch is to refactor the Simplifer to avoid repeated simplification when using Plan (AFTER) for rule rewrites. The need for this was shown up by #26989. See Note [Avoid repeated simplification] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration. Related refactoring: * Refactor the two fields `sc_dup` and `sc_env` in `ApplyToVal` into one, `sc_env`. Reason: the envt is irrelevant in the "simplified" case, so the data type describes the possiblitiies much more accurately now. * Some refactoring in `knownCon` to split off `wrapDataConFloats`. * Refactor `lookupRule` and its auxiliary functions to return `RuleMatch`, a new data type. See Note [data RuleMatch] in GHC.Core. Ditto for BuiltinRule. This RuleMatch returns fragments of the target in rm_args and rm_floats, leaving `rm_rhs` to be the stuff from the RULE itself. Doing this has routine consequences in GHC.Core.Opt.ConstantFold. Many changes there but all routine. * When doing occurrence analysis on RULEs, make the occ-info on the rule binders relate just to the RHS, not the LHS. See (OUR1) in Note Note [OccInfo in unfoldings and rules] This means that Lint must not complain about the fact that the patterns in the RULE mentions binders that are marked dead. See Note [Dead occurrences] in GHC.Core.Lint. I changed the Core pretty-printer so that it didn't suppress dead binders, else I can't see those binders in RULEs. That led to quite a lot of testsuite wibbles. * Refactor FloatBinds, so that it is used both by `exprIsConApp_mabye` and by `lookupRule` * Move the definition of FloatBinds out of GHc.Core.Make, into GHC.Core. * Add FloatTick as an extra constructor. * Refactor `lookupRule` to use `FloatBinds` instead of `BindWrapper`. This refactor just shares more code. (Rename GHC.Core.Opt.FloatOut.FloatBinds to FloatLets, to avoid gratuitious name clash with GHC.Core.FloatBinds.) Corecion optimisation * In simpleOpt, when composing coercions, call new function `optTransCo`. This is much lighter weight than full blown coercion optimisation. * Make `GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.pushCoValArg` and `pushCoTyArg` return the coercionLKind of the coercion. This saves recomputing that coercionLKind at the key call sites in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.pushCast. * Rename `addCoerce` in GHC.Core.Simplify.Iteration to become `pushCast`. * In the `ApplyToVal` case of `pushCast` we had a very unsavoury call to `simplArg`. I eliminated it by adding a field `sc_cast` to `ApplyToVal` that records any pending casts. Much nicer now. See Note [The sc_cast field of ApplyToVal]. * Don't optimise coercions if the type-substitution is empty. See Note [Optimising coercions] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration. The fix for #26838 is dramatic. For the test in perf/compiler/T26839 we have Compiler allocs: Before: 7,363M After: 688M Compile time goes down generally.
