Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/T26682 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.

With recent llvm-mingw toolchain, it would fail with: ``` x86_64-w64-mingw32-hsc2hs: Cannot combine instructions: [Quad 8,Long 4,Long 241,Ref ".Ltmp1-.Ltmp0"] ``` The hsc2hs default `--cross-compile` logic is slower but works. - - - - - 71fdef55 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-08T13:30:57-05:00 Try harder to keep the substitution empty Avoid unnecessary cloning of variables in the Simplifier.

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. Test case in simplCore/should_compile/T26682, brilliantly minimised by @sheaf. - - - - - 36 changed files: - compiler/GHC/Cmm/Info.hs - compiler/GHC/Cmm/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/OccurAnal.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Simplify/Iteration.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Simplify/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/SpecConstr.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Specialise.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Subst.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCo/Subst.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Pipeline/Execute.hs - compiler/GHC/Driver/Session.hs - − docs/Makefile - − docs/storage-mgt/Makefile - − docs/users_guide/Makefile - − driver/Makefile - − driver/ghc/Makefile - − driver/ghci/Makefile - − driver/haddock/Makefile - − ghc/Makefile - hadrian/src/Settings/Builders/Hsc2Hs.hs - − libraries/Makefile - − libraries/doc/Makefile - − linters/lint-codes/Makefile - − linters/lint-notes/Makefile - llvm-passes - − rts/Makefile - − rts/include/Makefile - + testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T24867.hs - + testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/T24867.stderr - testsuite/tests/pmcheck/should_compile/all.T - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26682.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26682a.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26709.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26709.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/all.T The diff was not included because it is too large.
