Alan Zimmerman pushed to branch wip/az/epa-tidy-locatedxxx-27 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 41e80f41 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-10-11T14:38:51-04:00 Simplify the error-suppression mechanism in GHC.Tc.Errors In `GHC.Tc.Errors.reportWanteds` we suppress some errors in favour of others. But the mechanism had grown crufty, and #27331 exposed a bug. This MR makes it simpler and more uniform, by doing everything via the `ei_suppress` field of the ErrorItem. Claude then found another closely-related bug (see the review linked on !16564). That bug is immortalised in new test T18851d. I'm still not happy with `ignoreConstraint` but we can worry about that another day; I have not touched it. Main changes * Instead of /predicting/ when an error will be reported, we set `cec_error_reported` when an error is /actually/ reported. (I renamed it from `cec_suppress` to reflect this change.) Now errors are suppressed only when a preceding error has actually been reported. Simpler and more robust. See `Note [cec_error_reported: suppressing less-serious errors]` The big changes are in `reportWanteds` which looks very different. * New `Note [ei_suppress: suppressing confusing errors]` describes the (quite separate) `ei_suppress` mechanism for suppressing confusing errors, mainly arising from non-empty rewriter sets * In `tryTypeClassDefaulting`, instead of switching off type-class defaulting if there is an insoluble /anywhere/, we just switch it off locally when we find an insoluble sub-tree. See Note [When to do type-class defaulting] and (W5) in Note [ApproximateWC] * Greatly simplify `insolubleWantedCt`. * I made type-class-defaulting be a bit more eager, only switched off when a peer or ancestor (but not child) constraint is insoluble. See Note [When to do type-class defaulting]. Small refactorings * Rename `askNoErrs` to `askErrsFound` and flip its polarity * The code for "check if ei_suppress is true of all items" code is moved to `mkErrorItems` rather than in the large `reportWanteds`. * Code for `has_gadt_match` moves to `mkGivenErrorReporter`, rather than polluting the large `reportWanteds`. * Many tests with `-fdefer-type-errors` get more warnings, especially about ambiguous (Num a) constraints. This is by-design: see Note [Always warn with -fdefer-type-errors]. Previously GHC was not honouring this Note but now it is, hence the extra errors. - - - - - f217fc31 by Cheng Shao at 2026-10-11T14:39:33-04:00 compiler: ensure cross ghc --info output target unit ids Previously, for cross ghcs, the base/ghc/ghc-internal unit ids in --info output do not match the target unit ids reported by ghc-pkg, breaking cross ghc release builds with hash-unit-ids when being used with cabal 3.18. This patch fixes it by making --info output target unit ids. Fixes #27919.

This uses AnnListBraces when braces are explicitly supplied, and AnnListLayout when vocurly is used The change also shows up AnnList usages that can never capture layout, these are cleared up later. - - - - - 65 changed files: - .gitlab/hello.hs - + changelog.d/T27731 - + changelog.d/fix-cross-ghc-info-unit-id - compiler/GHC/Builtin/WiredIn/Ids.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Session.hs - compiler/GHC/Parser.y - compiler/GHC/Rename/Module.hs - compiler/GHC/Settings.hs - compiler/GHC/Settings/IO.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors/Types.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Instance/Family.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Default.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Solver/Equality.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/Constraint.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Utils/Monad.hs - distrib/configure.ac.in - hadrian/bindist/Makefile - hadrian/bindist/config.mk.in - hadrian/src/Rules/BinaryDist.hs - hadrian/src/Rules/Generate.hs - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog020/ghci.prog020a.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog020/ghci.prog020b.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog021/prog021a.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog021/prog021b.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog022/ghci.prog022a.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog022/ghci.prog022b.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog022/ghci.prog022c.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog022/ghci.prog022d.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog022/ghci.prog022e.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/prog022/ghci.prog022f.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghci/scripts/Defer02.stderr - testsuite/tests/module/mod130.stderr - testsuite/tests/overloadedstrings/should_fail/T25926.stderr - testsuite/tests/overloadedstrings/should_fail/T27124.stderr - testsuite/tests/parser/should_compile/DumpSemis.stderr - testsuite/tests/patsyn/should_fail/records-nofieldselectors.stderr - testsuite/tests/printer/T17697.stderr - testsuite/tests/rename/should_fail/T15607.stderr - testsuite/tests/rename/should_fail/T19843b.stderr - testsuite/tests/safeHaskell/ghci/p4.stderr - testsuite/tests/safeHaskell/ghci/p6.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/T11254.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/T15370.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/valid_hole_fits.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/ClassOperator.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/DoExpansion2.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/DoExpansion3.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/FunDepOrigin1b.hs - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T18851.stderr - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T18851e.hs - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T18851e.stderr - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T18851f.hs - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T18851f.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T22940.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T26823.stderr - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T27731.hs - + testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T27731.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T5691.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T7437.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/all.T - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/mc24.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/tcfail019.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/tcfail189.stderr The diff was not included because it is too large.
