Apoorv Ingle pushed to branch wip/spj-apporv-Oct24 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 30f442a9 by Teo Camarasu at 2026-01-20T13:57:26-05:00 base: don't expose GHC.Num.{BigNat, Integer, Natural} We no longer expose GHC.Num.{BigNat, Integer, Natural} from base instead users should get these modules from ghc-bignum. We make this change to insulate end users from changes to GHC's implementation of big numbers.

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. - - - - - 759fd15a by Andreas Klebinger at 2026-01-21T16:05:28-05:00 Don't build GHC with -Wcompat Without bumping the boot compiler the warnings it produces are often not actionable leading to pointless noise.

The underlying issue has been fixed in https://github.com/haskell/directory/commit/75828696e7145adc09179111a0d631b9... and present since 1.3.9.0, and hadrian directory lower bound is 1.3.9.0, so we can revert our own in house hack now. - - - - - 5efb58dc by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-21T16:07:36-05:00 rts: fix typo in TICK_ALLOC_RTS This patch fixes a typo in the `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` macro, the original `bytes` argument was silently dropped. The Cmm code has its own version of `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` not affected by this typo, it affected the C RTS, and went unnoticed because the variable `n` happened to also be available at its call site. But the number was incorrect. Also fixes its call site since `WDS()` is not available in C. - - - - - c406ea69 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-21T16:07:36-05:00 rts: remove broken & unused ALLOC_P_TICKY This patch removes the `ALLOC_P_TICKY` macro from the rts, it's unused, and its expanded code is already broken. - - - - - 34a27e20 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-21T16:08:17-05:00 Make the implicit-parameter class have representational role This MR addresses #26737, by making the built-in class IP have a representational role for its second parameter. See Note [IP: implicit parameter class] in ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Classes.IP In fact, IP is (unfortunately, currently) exposed by base:GHC.Base, so we ran a quick CLC proposal to agree the change: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/385 Some (small) compilations get faster because they only need to load (small) interface file GHC.Internal.Classes.IP.hi, rather than (large) GHC.Internal.Classes.hi.

The changes are not comprehensive, and there are still a lot of re.sub usages lingering around the tree, but this already addresses a major performance bottleneck in the testsuite driver that might has to do with quadratic or worse slowdown in cpython's regular expression engine when handling certain regex patterns with large strings. Especially on i386, and i386 jobs are the bottlenecks of all full-ci validate pipelines! Here are the elapsed times of testing x86_64/i386 with -j48 before this patch: x86_64: `Build completed in 6m06s` i386: `Build completed in 1h36m` And with this patch: x86_64: `Build completed in 4m55s` i386: `Build completed in 4m23s` Fixes #26786.

So this patch adds the missing `notCross` predicate in those places. - - - - - ee937134 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-22T09:00:10-05:00 Fix ghc-experimental GHC.Exception.Backtrace.Experimental module This module wasn't added to the cabal file so it was never compiled or included in the library. - - - - - 1b490f5a by Zubin Duggal at 2026-01-22T09:00:53-05:00 hadrian: Add ghc-{experimental,internal}.cabal to the list of dependencies of the doc target We need these files to detect the version of these libraries Fixes #26738 - - - - - cdb74049 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-22T14:52:36-05:00 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. - - - - - 4c784f00 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-22T14:53:19-05:00 Fix testsuite run for +ipe flavour transformer This patch makes the +ipe flavour transformer pass the entire testsuite: - An RTS debug option `-DI` is added, the IPE trace information is now only printed with `-DI`. The test cases that do require IPE trace are now run with `-DI`. - The testsuite config option `ghc_with_ipe` is added, enabled when running the testsuite with `+ipe`, which skips a few tests that are sensitive to eventlog output, allocation patterns etc that can fail under `+ipe`. This is the first step towards #26799.

It is subsumed by `ErrCtxtStack` - Kills `ExpectedFunTyOrig`. It is subsumed by `CtOrigin` - Fixes `CtOrigin` for `HsProjection` case in `exprCtOrigin`. It was previously assigned to be `SectionOrigin`. It is now just the expression - Adds a new `CtOrigin.ExpansionOrigin` for storing the original syntax - Adds a new `CtOrigin.ExpectedTySyntax` as a replacement for `ExpectedTySyntaxOp`. Cannot kill the former yet because of `ApplicativeDo` - Renames `tcMonoExpr` -> `tcMonoLExpr`, `tcMonoExprNC` -> `tcMonoLExpr` - Renames `EValArg`, `EValArgQL` fields: `ea_ctxt` -> `ea_loc_span` and `eaql_ctx` -> `eaql_loc_span` Notes added [Error Context Stack] Notes updated Note [Expanding HsDo with XXExprGhcRn] ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T9020 ------------------------- - - - - - f1720d38 by Apoorv Ingle at 2026-01-22T16:53:09-06:00 - kill PopErrCtxt - Pass in the location of the head of the application chain to `addArgCtxt` to print better error messages. Make `addArgCtxt` print in the nth argument if the head of the application chain is user located. - match context with record updates dont get added in error context - Do not use HsPar in Last statement - simplify addArgCtxt and push setSrcSpan inside addLExprCtxt. Make sure addExprCtxt is not called by itself - fun_orig in tcApp depends on the SrcSpan of the head of the application chain (similar to addArgCtxt) - rename fun_ctxt to fun_lspan, fun_orig passed in tcInstFun to default to app chain head if its user located, fall back to srcCodeOrigin if it's a generated location - fix quickLookArg function to blame the correct application chain head. The arguments application chain head should be blamed, not the original head when we quick look arg - Make sure only expression wrapped around generated src span are ignored while adding them to the error context stack - In `addArgCtxt` the nth argument's err ctxt adds a generated error ctxt if the argument is XExpr - - - - - 95655789 by Apoorv Ingle at 2026-01-22T16:53:09-06:00 - make sure landmark error contexts are always printed. accept some testcases - fix overloaded list error message. Expanded Expressions head `listFromN` should be wrapped in a generated source span (Wrinkle) This may make some HIE tests to fail, but HIE should fix the behaviour there. - Fix notes - fix for MonadFailErrors test case. OrigPat now also stores the statement to make the error message resonable - - - - - ebf00d9c by Apoorv Ingle at 2026-01-22T16:54:20-06:00 - `getDeepSubsumptionFlag_DataConHead` performs a non-trivial traversal if the expression passed to it is complex. This traversal is necessary if the head of the function is an `XExpr` and `splitHsApps` does not look through them - The deepsubsumption flag is stored in EVAlArgQL to reduce the need to call `getDeepSubsumptionFlag_DataConHead` - `getDeepSubsumptionFlag_DataConHead` is called in `tcExprSigma` and `tcInferAppHead` to reduce AST traversals - refactor building CtOrigin before instantiations as a function. It does state lookup only if needed. - In tcDoStmts, we lose the location of the first statement. It is needed for getting the pattern match check right Further, do not call addErrCtxt on it, the tcMonoLExpr will do it for us. - during QL arg's function head instantiation use more a more accurate location for arg when the application chain is null - - - - - 36daacf3 by Apoorv Ingle at 2026-01-22T16:54:33-06:00 do not add error context in tcExprSigma for XExpr and do not setQLInstLevel before tcInstFun - - - - - aa723089 by Apoorv Ingle at 2026-01-22T16:54:33-06:00 wrap expanded records in an XExpr.
