Sven Tennie pushed to branch wip/romes/hadrian-cross-stage2-rebase_SVEN_FINAL at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: a20542d2 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-06T19:38:38-05:00 ghc-internal: remove unused GMP macros This patch removes unused GMP related macros from `ghc-internal`. The in-tree GMP version was hard coded and outdated, but it was not used anywhere anyway. - - - - - 4079dcd6 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-06T19:38:38-05:00 hadrian: fix in-tree gmp configure error on newer c compilers Building in-tree gmp on newer c compilers that default to c23 fails at configure stage, this patch fixes it, see added comment for explanation. - - - - - 414d1fe1 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-06T19:39:20-05:00 compiler: fix LLVM backend pdep/pext handling for i386 target This patch fixes LLVM backend's pdep/pext handling for i386 target, and also removes non-existent 128/256/512 bit hs_pdep/hs_pext callees. See amended note for more explanation. Fixes #26450.

This commit removes the allow_failure flag so that other i386 regressions in the future are signaled more timely. - - - - - 52d00c05 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-07T10:24:21-05:00 Add missing InVar->OutVar lookup in SetLevels As #26681 showed, the SetLevels pass was failing to map an InVar to an OutVar. Very silly! I'm amazed it hasn't broken before now. I have improved the type singatures (to mention InVar and OutVar) so it's more obvious what needs to happen. - - - - - ab0a5594 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-07T10:25:04-05:00 hadrian: drop deprecated pkgHashSplitObjs code path This patch drops deprecated `pkgHashSplitObjs` code path from hadrian, since GHC itself has removed split objs support many versions ago and this code path is unused. - - - - - bb3a2ba1 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-07T10:25:44-05:00 hadrian: remove linting/assertion in quick-validate flavour The `quick-validate` flavour is meant for testing ghc and passing the testsuite locally with similar settings to `validate` but faster. This patch removes the linting/assertion overhead in `quick-validate` to improve developer experience. I also took the chance to simplify redundant logic of rts/library way definition in `validate` flavour. - - - - - 7971f5dd by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-07T10:26:26-05:00 deriveConstants: clean up unused constants This patch cleans up unused constants from `deriveConstants`, they are not used by C/Cmm code in the RTS, nor compiler-generated code.

It's a sane default when you care about debugging and reliable backtraces, and makes debugging/profiling with bpf easier. - - - - - 8a3900a3 by Aaron Allen at 2026-01-07T10:27:57-05:00 [26705] Include TyCl instances in data fam iface entry Ensures dependent modules are recompiled when the class instances for a data family instance change. resolves #26705 - - - - - a0b980af by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-07T10:28:38-05:00 hadrian: remove unused Hp2Ps/Hpc builders This patch removes the Hp2Ps/Hpc builders from hadrian, they are unused in the build system. Note that the hp2ps/hpc programs are still built and not affected. - - - - - 50a58757 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-07T10:29:20-05:00 hadrian: only install js files to libdir for wasm/js targets There are certain js files required for wasm/js targets to work, and previously hadrian would install those js files to libdir unconditionally on other targets as well. This could be a minor annoyance for packagers especially when the unused js files contain shebangs that interfere with the packaging process. This patch makes hadrian only selectively install the right js files for the right targets.

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 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" - - - - - 3c12f79e by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:13:56+01:00 Add missing req_interp modifier to T18441fail3 and T18441fail19 These tests require the interpreter but they were failing in a different way with the javascript backend because the interpreter was disabled and stderr is ignored by the test. - - - - - 4b1eeb02 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:13:56+01:00 Use explicit syntax rather than pure - - - - - a538c881 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:13:56+01:00 packaging: correctly propagate build/host/target to bindist configure script At the moment the host and target which we will produce a compiler for is fixed at the initial configure time. Therefore we need to persist the choice made at this time into the installation bindist as well so we look for the right tools, with the right prefixes at install time. In the future, we want to provide a bit more control about what kind of bindist we produce so the logic about what the host/target will have to be written by hadrian rather than persisted by the configure script. In particular with cross compilers we want to either build a normal stage 2 cross bindist or a stage 3 bindist, which creates a bindist which has a native compiler for the target platform. Fixes #21970 - - - - - f09c7801 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:14:36+01:00 hadrian: Fill in more of the default.host toolchain file When you are building a cross compiler this file will be used to build stage1 and it's libraries, so we need enough information here to work accurately. There is still more work to be done (see for example, word size is still fixed). - - - - - 7070c655 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:14:36+01:00 hadrian: Disable docs when cross compiling Before there were a variety of ad-hoc places where doc building was disabled when cross compiling. * Some CI jobs sets --docs=none in gen_ci.hs * Some CI jobs set --docs=none in .gitlab/ci.sh * There was some logic in hadrian to not need the ["docs"] target when making a bindist. Now the situation is simple: * If you are cross compiling then defaultDocsTargets is empty by default. In theory, there is no reason why we can't build documentation for cross compiler bindists, but this is left to future work to generalise the documentation building rules to allow this (#24289) - - - - - 41da2ff3 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:23:45+01:00 hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers * Most of hadrian is abstracted over the stage in order to remove the assumption that the target of all stages is the same platform. This allows the RTS to be built for two different targets for example. * Abstracts the bindist creation logic to allow building either normal or cross bindists. Normal bindists use stage 1 libraries and a stage 2 compiler. Cross bindists use stage 2 libararies and a stage 2 compiler. * hadrian: Make binary-dist-dir the default build target. This allows us to have the logic in one place about which libraries/stages to build with cross compilers. Fixes #24192 New hadrian target: * `binary-dist-dir-cross`: Build a cross compiler bindist (compiler = stage 1, libraries = stage 2) This commit also contains various changes to make stage2 compilers feasible. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: ManyAlternatives MultiComponentModulesRecomp MultiLayerModulesRecomp T10421 T12425 T12707 T13035 T13379 T15703 T16577 T18698a T18698b T18923 T1969 T21839c T3294 T4801 T5030 T5321Fun T5642 T783 T9198 T9872d T9961 parsing001 T5321FD T6048 ------------------------- Co-authored-by: Sven Tennie <sven.tennie@gmail.com> - - - - - 63eb994f by Sven Tennie at 2026-01-16T08:23:45+01:00 Align CI scripts with master Fixup - - - - - dd77b17e by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:23:45+01:00 ci: Test cross bindists We remove the special logic for testing in-tree cross compilers and instead test cross compiler bindists, like we do for all other platforms. - - - - - ebd42dd2 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-16T08:23:45+01:00 ci: Introduce CROSS_STAGE variable In preparation for building and testing stage3 bindists we introduce the CROSS_STAGE variable which is used by a CI job to determine what kind of bindist the CI job should produce.

Treating this uniformly like other packages is complicated by it not having any source code or a cabal file. However we can do a bit better by reporting the dependency firstly in `PackageData` and then needing the `.conf` file in the same place as every other package in `configurePackage`.
