Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/T26746 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: f25e2b12 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-14T11:10:39-05:00 testsuite: remove obsolete --ci option from the testsuite driver This patch removes the obsolete `--ci` option from the testsuite driver: neither the CI scripts nor hadrian ever invokes the testsuite driver with `--ci`, and the perf notes are always fetched to the `refs/notes/perf` local reference anyway. - - - - - 7964763b by Julian Ospald at 2026-01-14T11:11:31-05:00 Fix fetch_cabal * download cabal if the existing one is of an older version * fix FreeBSD download url * fix unpacking on FreeBSD - - - - - 6b0129c1 by Julian Ospald at 2026-01-14T11:11:31-05:00 Bump toolchain in CI - - - - - 0f53ccc6 by Julian Ospald at 2026-01-14T11:11:31-05:00 Use libffi-clib Previously, we would build libffi via hadrian and bundle it manually with the GHC bindist. This now moves all that logic out of hadrian and allows us to have a clean Haskell package to build and link against and ship it without extra logic. This patch still retains the ability to link against a system libffi. The main reason of bundling libffi was that on some platforms (e.g. FreeBSD and Mac), system libffi is not visible to the C toolchain by default, so users would require settings in e.g. cabal to be able to compile anything. This adds the submodule libffi-clib to the repository. - - - - - 5e1cd595 by Peng Fan at 2026-01-14T11:12:26-05:00 NCG/LA64: add support for la664 micro architecture Add '-mla664' flag to LA664, which has some new features: atomic instructions, dbar hints, etc. 'LA464' is the default so that unrecognized instructions are not generated. - - - - - 2091ee71 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-15T14:07:36+00:00 Improve newtype unwrapping Ticket #26746 describes several relatively-minor shortcomings of newtype unwrapping. This MR addresses them, while also (arguably) simplifying the code a bit. See new Note [Solving newtype equalities: overview] and Note [Decomposing newtype equalities] and Note [Eager newtype decomposition] and Note [Even more eager newtype decomposition] For some reason, on Windows only, runtime allocations decrease for test T5205 (from 52k to 48k). I have not idea why. No change at all on Linux. I'm just going to accept the change. (I saw this same effect in another MR so I think it's a fault in the baseline.)
