Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/T26722 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 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" - - - - - 322dd672 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-01-09T02:49:35-05:00 rts: Use INFO_TABLE_CONSTR for stg_dummy_ret_closure Since the closure type is CONSTR_NOCAF, we need to use INFO_TABLE_CONSTR to populate the constructor description field (this crashes ghc-debug when decoding AP_STACK frames sometimes) Fixes #26745 - - - - - 3f3235e1 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-09T09:27:47+00:00 Add evals for strict data-con args in worker-functions This fixes #26722, by adding an eval in a worker for arguments of strict data constructors, even if the function body uses them strictly.
