Zubin pushed to branch wip/27627 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: bf5e0fc3 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-08-19T15:32:25+05:30 Add tests for absent fillers at dictionary types T27627 a unary class whose superclass is a non-unary class T27627a ...whose superclass is a Constraint-kinded type family T27627b ...whose superclass is a quantified constraint T27627c a unary class applied to itself, (UC (UC (TC a))) T27627e a (forall b. P b) dictionary that loops - - - - - 26bc5e84 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-08-19T15:32:58+05:30 An abstract TyCon may hide a unary class A class declared in an hs-boot file is an AbstractTyCon inside the module loop, and compiling the real declaration may reveal it to be a UnaryClassTyCon. - isTerminatingType returned True for such AbstractTyCons - IfaceToCore set the unary flag to False in the DFunId So we could end up speculating bottom dictionaries because inside a module loop we see an UnaryClassTyCon as an AbstractTyCon Use mayBeUnaryClassTyCon instead of isUnaryClassTyCon, which returns True for an abstract TyCon. Fixes #27704 - - - - - abac352f by Zubin Duggal at 2026-08-19T15:32:58+05:30 Specialise: don't drop a dead arg that the stable unfolding uses specHeader decides an argument is dead by calling isDeadBinder on a binder of the /optimised RHS/, then applies the filler to the /stable unfolding/ template instead. The two may differ, so the argument can be dead in the RHS and not in the template. The specialised function's unfolding then has an absent filler, and any call site that inlines it evaluates the error thunk. Thread the template's binders through specHeader alongside the RHS binders and make a filler only when the argument is dead in both. See Note [Dead args and stable unfoldings]. Fixes #27703 - - - - - 312ca902 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-08-19T15:32:58+05:30 Never make an absent filler at a constraint type, isDictTy doesn't catch constraints hidden behind unreduced type family applications Example: type family F a :: Constraint type instance F W = TC W a :: F W => Int -> Int -- (F W) argument is absent Oops! Entered absent arg Arg: irred Type: F W also in the test T27627f Use `ConstraintLike <- typeTypeOrConstraint arg_ty` instead??? - - - - - e3618220 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-08-19T15:32:58+05:30 CorePrep: don't speculate a call across an hs-boot edge We take care not to evaluate things that might be bottom, like a looping dictionary group, but our analysis is defeated by boot files. We only track recursion within a module, so two dictionaries that depend on each other across a module loop each look non-recursive, and we might speculate them. Any recursion we cannot see must cross an hs-boot edge, so refuse to speculate calls that cross one.
