Teo Camarasu pushed to branch wip/T26930 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: a7eb4232 by Teo Camarasu at 2026-03-04T21:02:45+00:00 ghc-internal: float Generics to top of module graph We remove GHC.Internal.Generics from the critical path of the `ghc-internal` module graph. GHC.Internal.Generics used to be in the middle of the module graph, but now it is nearer the top (built later). This change thins out the module graph and allows us to get rid of the ByteOrder hs-boot file. We implement this by moving Generics instances from the module where the datatype is defined to the GHC.Internal.Generics module. This trades off increasing the compiled size of GHC.Internal.Generics with reducing the dependency footprint of datatype modules. Not all instances are moved to GHC.Internal.Generics. For instance, `GHC.Internal.Control.Monad.Fix` keeps its instance as it is one of the very last modules compiled in `ghc-internal` and so inverting the relationship here would risk adding GHC.Internal.Generics back onto the critical path. We also don't change modules that are re-exported from the `template-haskell` or `ghc-heap`. This is done to make it easy to eventually move `Generics` to `base` once something like #26657 is implemented. Resolves #26930 Metric Decrease: T21839c - - - - - 21 changed files: - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/ByteOrder.hs - − libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/ByteOrder.hs-boot - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Data/Foldable.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Data/Functor/Const.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Data/Functor/Identity.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Data/Monoid.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Data/Semigroup/Internal.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Data/Traversable.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Data/Version.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Functor/ZipList.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Generics.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/IO/Exception.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Read.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Unicode/Bits.hs - testsuite/tests/ghci/scripts/ListTuplePunsPpr.stdout - testsuite/tests/ghci/scripts/T10963.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/scripts/ghci064.stdout - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout-javascript-unknown-ghcjs - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout-mingw32 - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout-ws-32 The diff was not included because it is too large.
