Cheng Shao pushed to branch wip/new-array-loop-c at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: ec3cf767 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-08T06:24:31-05:00 make: remove unused Makefiles from legacy make build system This patch removes unused Makefiles from legacy make build system; now they are never used by hadrian in any way, and they already include common boilerplate mk files that are long gone in the make build system removal, hence the housecleaning.

This patch changes the driver to use `-O3` as LLVM optimization level when compiling with `-O2`, which is a better default when we're willing to trade compilation time for faster generated code. - - - - - 472df471 by Peter Trommler at 2026-01-08T13:28:54-05:00 Use half-word literals in info tables With this commit info tables are mapped to the same assembler code on big-endian and little-endian platforms.

This field is used by '-static-external' to conditionally use '-l:foo.a' syntax during linking, which is more robust than trying to find the absolute path to an archive on our own. * Adds a switch '-fully-static' that is meant as a high-level interface for e.g. cabal. This also honours 'extra-libraries-static'. This also attempts to clean up the confusion around library search directories. At the moment, we have 3 types of directories in the package database format: * library-dirs * library-dirs-static * dynamic-library-dirs However, we only have two types of linking: dynamic or static. Given the existing logic in 'mungeDynLibFields', this patch assumes that 'library-dirs' is really just nothing but a fallback and always prefers the more specific variants if they exist and are non-empty. Conceptually, we should be ok with even just one search dirs variant. Haskell libraries are named differently depending on whether they're static or dynamic, so GHC can conveniently pick the right one depending on the linking needs. That means we don't really need to play tricks with search paths to convince the compiler to do linking as we want it. For system C libraries, the convention has been anyway to place static and dynamic libs next to each other, so we need to deal with that issue anyway and it is outside of our control. But this is out of the scope of this patch. This patch is backwards compatible with cabal. Cabal should however be patched to use the new '-fully-static' switch. - - - - - ad3c808d by Julian Ospald at 2026-01-09T02:48:53-05:00 Warn when "-dynamic" is mixed with "-staticlib" - - - - - 322dd672 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-09T02:49:35-05:00 rts: Use INFO_TABLE_CONSTR for stg_dummy_ret_closure Since the closure type is CONSTR_NOCAF, we need to use INFO_TABLE_CONSTR to populate the constructor description field (this crashes ghc-debug when decoding AP_STACK frames sometimes) Fixes #26745 - - - - - 039bac4c by Ben Gamari at 2026-01-09T20:22:16-05:00 ghc-internal: Move STM utilities out of GHC.Internal.Conc.Sync This is necessary to avoid an import cycle on Windows when importing `GHC.Internal.Exception.Context` in `GHC.Internal.Conc.Sync`.

The previous implementation is based on loads/stores of individual bytes and concatenating bytes with bitwise operations, which currently cannot be fused to a single load/store operation by GHC. This patch implements fast `get`/`put` functions for `Word16`/`Word32`/`Word64` based on a single memory load/store, with an additional `byteSwap` operation on little-endian hosts. It is based on unaligned load/store primops added since GHC 9.10, and we already require booting with at least 9.10, so it's about time to switch to this faster path. - - - - - 641ec3f0 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-09T20:23:55-05:00 Fix scoping errors in specialisation Using -fspecialise-aggressively in #26682 showed up a couple of subtle errors in the type-class specialiser. * dumpBindUDs failed to call `deleteCallsMentioning`, resulting in a call that mentioned a dictionary that was not in scope. This call has been missing since 2009! commit c43c981705ec33da92a9ce91eb90f2ecf00be9fe Author: Simon Peyton Jones Date: Fri Oct 23 16:15:51 2009 +0000 Fixed by re-combining `dumpBindUDs` and `dumpUDs`. * I think there was another bug involving the quantified type variables in polymorphic specialisation. In any case I refactored `specHeader` and `spec_call` so that the former looks for the extra quantified type variables rather than the latter. This is quite a worthwhile simplification: less code, easier to grok.

For example, suppose we have stack slot assigments %v1 :: FF64 |-> StackSlot 0 %v2 :: FF64 |-> StackSlot 1 Later, we start using %v1 at a larger format (e.g. F64x2) and we need to spill it again. Then we **must not** use StackSlot 0, as a spill at format F64x2 would clobber the data in StackSlot 1. This can cause some fragmentation of the `StackMap`, but that's probably OK.

Hadrian would no longer build or distribute `iserv`, and the GHC driver would use the on-demand external interpreter by default when invoked with `-fexternal-interpreter`, without needing to specify `-pgmi ""`. This has multiple benefits: - It allows cleanup of a lot of legacy hacks in the hadrian codebase. - It paves the way for running cross ghc's iserv via cross emulator (#25523), fixing TH/ghci support for cross targets other than wasm/js. - - - - - c1fe0097 by Peter Trommler at 2026-01-14T03:54:49-05:00 PPC NCG: Fix shift right MO code The shift amount in shift right [arithmetic] MOs is machine word width. Therefore remove unnecessary zero- or sign-extending of shift amount. It looks harmless to extend the shift amount argument because the shift right instruction uses only the seven lowest bits (i. e. mod 128). But now we have a conversion operation from a smaller type to word width around a memory load at word width. The types are not matching up but there is no check done in CodeGen. The necessary conversion from word width down to the smaller width would be translated into a no-op on PowerPC anyway. So all seems harmless if it was not for a small optimisation in getRegister'. In getRegister' a load instruction with the smaller width of the conversion operation was generated. This loaded the most significant bits of the word in memory on a big-endian platform. These bits were zero and hence shift right was used with shift amount zero and not one as required in test Sized.

This now moves all that logic out of hadrian and allows us to have a clean Haskell package to build and link against and ship it without extra logic. This patch still retains the ability to link against a system libffi. The main reason of bundling libffi was that on some platforms (e.g. FreeBSD and Mac), system libffi is not visible to the C toolchain by default, so users would require settings in e.g. cabal to be able to compile anything. This adds the submodule libffi-clib to the repository. - - - - - 5e1cd595 by Peng Fan at 2026-01-14T11:12:26-05:00 NCG/LA64: add support for la664 micro architecture Add '-mla664' flag to LA664, which has some new features: atomic instructions, dbar hints, etc. 'LA464' is the default so that unrecognized instructions are not generated. - - - - - c56567ec by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-15T23:19:04+00:00 Add evals for strict data-con args in worker-functions This fixes #26722, by adding an eval in a worker for arguments of strict data constructors, even if the function body uses them strictly.

They were inherited from the legacy Make build system, and there used to be make flags to instrument a build process with `-Rghc-timing` option to collect GC stats of each GHC run from stderr. It's time to revisit whether there are better defaults for `-H32m`/`-H64m`, and this patch changes it to `-O64M` which indeed improves mutator productivity based on real statistics. `-O64M` is more aggressive than `-H64m`; it allows the old generation to grow to at least 64M before triggering major GC and reduces major GC runs. The stats of a clean build with `validate` flavour and `-H64m`: ``` h64m.log matched RTS stat lines: 5499 sum MUT cpu : 2400.808 s sum GC cpu : 1378.292 s sum MUT elapsed : 2788.253 s sum GC elapsed : 1389.233 s GC/MUT cpu ratio : 0.574 (GC is 57.4% of MUT) GC/MUT elapsed ratio : 0.498 (GC is 49.8% of MUT) GC fraction of (MUT+GC) cpu : 36.5% GC fraction of (MUT+GC) elapsed : 33.3% per-line GC/MUT cpu ratio: median 0.691, p90 1.777 per-line GC/MUT elapsed ratio: median 0.519, p90 1.081 ``` The stats of a clean build with `validate` flavour and `-O64M`: ``` o64m.log matched RTS stat lines: 5499 sum MUT cpu : 2377.383 s sum GC cpu : 1127.146 s sum MUT elapsed : 2758.857 s sum GC elapsed : 1135.587 s GC/MUT cpu ratio : 0.474 (GC is 47.4% of MUT) GC/MUT elapsed ratio : 0.412 (GC is 41.2% of MUT) GC fraction of (MUT+GC) cpu : 32.2% GC fraction of (MUT+GC) elapsed : 29.2% per-line GC/MUT cpu ratio: median 0.489, p90 1.099 per-line GC/MUT elapsed ratio: median 0.367, p90 0.806 ``` Mutator time is roughly in the same ballpark, but GC CPU time has reduced by 18.22%, and mutator productivity has increased from 63.5% to 67.8%. - - - - - 8372e13d by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-18T10:02:12-05:00 rts: remove unused .def files from rts/win32 This patch removes unused .def files from `rts/win32`, given we don't build .dll files for rts/ghc-internal/ghc-prim at all.

Fixes #26506 Co-authored-by: Teo Camarasu - - - - - 346f2f5a by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-20T13:59:30-05:00 hadrian: remove RTS options in ghc-in-ghci flavour This patch removes the RTS options passed to ghc in ghc-in-ghci flavour, to workaround command line argument handling issue in hls/hie-boot that results in `-O64M` instead of `+RTS -O64M -RTS` being passed to ghc. It's not a hadrian bug per se, since ghc's own ghc-in-ghci multi repl works fine, but we should still make sure HLS works. Closes #26801. - - - - - 7a7c72fb by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-21T15:22:00+01:00 rts: avoid Cmm loop to initialize Array#/SmallArray# Previously, `newArray#`/`newSmallArray#` called an RTS C function to allocate the `Array#`/`SmallArray#`, then used a Cmm loop to initialize the elements. Cmm doesn't have native for-loop so the code is a bit awkward, and it's less efficient than a C loop, since the C compiler can effectively vectorize the loop with optimizations. So this patch moves the loop that initializes the elements to the C side. `allocateMutArrPtrs`/`allocateSmallMutArrPtrs` now takes a new `init` argument and initializes the elements if `init` is non-NULL. -
