Magnus pushed to branch wip/mangoiv/9.12.5-rc4 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 7d9fcc03 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-09-04T17:47:51+02:00 Never make an absent filler for a constraint type mkAbsentFiller used isTerminatingType to decide, but that is not enough. Consider class Eq a => UC a where {} let u :: UC Int -- UC Int is a "non-terminating type" u = error "Absent" let e :: Eq Int -- Eq Int is a "terminating type" e = $p1UC u We clearly must not make a filler for `e`, because we speculatively evaluate it. But speculatively evaluating `e` forces `u`, so we must not make one for `u` either. Asking isDictTy instead is not enough either, because it does not catch a constraint hidden behind an unreduced type family application: 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 So play safe and use isPredTy: never make an absent filler for any constraint-kinded type.

P b) dictionary that loops (cherry picked from commit 5f474953d1880232b5e6c5741f08746e28cd25ab) - - - - - 2dafea33 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-09-04T17:47:51+02:00 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 isTerminatingTyCon, which returns False for an abstract TyCon. The Bool in DFunId is now a cache for isTerminatingTyCon, set in mkDFunIdDetails. Fixes #27704 Note by the backporter (mangoiv): we're backporting by the fact that a tycon is a unary type class con IFF it is a type class con and a newtype prior to 9bd7fcc518111a1549c98720c222cdbabd32ed46. (cherry picked from commit db1e0bda5c3209d75133fa9e2560d684f35f950b) - - - - - 6db19f5f by Zubin Duggal at 2026-09-04T17:47:52+02:00 Specialise: don't replace dead args with absent fillers 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. Dropping dead args in the specialiser is rarely worth it, to quote Simon, "The later worker/wrapper pass will pick up the dead arg later if it is really dead. Keeps the specialiser simpler." So instead of trying to check if the arg really is dead in the stable unfolding, just drop the logic for dropping dead args in the specialiser altogeher. Fixes #27703 (cherry picked from commit 2b3cdef64bbc535bd72e3dfb512b4cfd10a72ca2) - - - - - ca315182 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-09-04T17:47:52+02:00 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. Fixes #27717 (cherry picked from commit 664efc76286c475e0fcd1c1624e847831e7fc07a) - - - - - ef81b484 by Ben Gamari at 2026-09-04T17:47:52+02:00 base: Don't drop exception context in SomeException(toException) For reasons that are lost to time, the implementation of [CLC #200] that was merged inappropriately dropped `ExceptionContext` in the `toException` implementation given to `SomeException`. Fix this infelicity. [CLC #200]: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/200 (cherry picked from commit 2ab02c579a9625438f5281a258051cb32ba40004) - - - - - 0aa6f299 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-09-04T17:47:52+02:00 DmdAnal: Fix maxDmdType We need to eta expand the smaller DmdType using defaultArgDmd, like in lubDmdType. Introduce zipDmdType as a common combinator to implement both maxDmdType and lubDmdType uniformly. fixes #27626 (cherry picked from commit e31885816b7c597ad89b05da64b21c5a241bf674) - - - - - 82 changed files: - + changelog.d/27626 - + changelog.d/27627 - + changelog.d/27703 - + changelog.d/27704 - + changelog.d/27717 - + changelog.d/T27455 - compiler/GHC/Core.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Specialise.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/WorkWrap/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCon.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Type.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/CoreToStg/Prep.hs - compiler/GHC/IfaceToCore.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Demand.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Id/Info.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Id/Make.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Literal.hs - libraries/base/changelog.md - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Exception/Type.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627/Caller.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627/T27627.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627/all.T - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627a/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627a/Caller.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627a/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627a/T27627a.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627a/all.T - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627b/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627b/Caller.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627b/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627b/T27627b.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627b/all.T - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627c/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627c/Caller.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627c/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627c/T27627c.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627c/all.T - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627e.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627e.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627f/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627f/Caller.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627f/Inst.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627f/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627f/T27627f.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27627f/all.T - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704/Callee.hs-boot - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704/Mid.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704/T27704.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704/all.T - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704a/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704a/Callee.hs-boot - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704a/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704a/Mid.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704a/T27704a.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27704a/all.T - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27717/Callee.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27717/Callee.hs-boot - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27717/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27717/Mid.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27717/T27717.stdout - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27717/Ty.hs - + testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/T27717/all.T - testsuite/tests/core-to-stg/all.T - + testsuite/tests/dmdanal/should_run/M2.hs - + testsuite/tests/dmdanal/should_run/T27626.hs - + testsuite/tests/dmdanal/should_run/T27626.stdout - testsuite/tests/dmdanal/should_run/all.T - testsuite/tests/ghc-e/should_fail/T18441fail7.stderr - testsuite/tests/ghc-e/should_run/ghc-e005.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T17966.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T7785.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/spec004.hs - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/spec004.stderr - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_run/T27703/Lib.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_run/T27703/Main.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_run/T27703/T27703.stdout - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_run/T27703/all.T The diff was not included because it is too large.
