Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/T26989 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 44cf9cd7 by Wolfgang Jeltsch at 2026-05-12T09:48:18-04:00 Move the `Text.Read` implementation into `base` - - - - - 4ac3f7d6 by Vladislav Zavialov at 2026-05-12T09:49:03-04:00 EPA: Use AnnParen for tuples and sums Summary of changes * Do not use AnnParen in XListTy, replace it with EpToken "[" and "]" * Specialise AnnParen to tuple/sums by dropping the AnnParensSquare and keeping only AnnParens and AnnParensHash * Use AnnParen in XExplicitTuple * Use AnnParen in XExplicitTupleTy * Use AnnParen in XTuplePat * Use AnnParen in XExplicitSum (via AnnExplicitSum) * Use AnnParen in XSumPat (via EpAnnSumPat) This is a refactoring with no user-facing changes. - - - - - 1bdcddec by Duncan Coutts at 2026-05-12T09:49:48-04:00 Add minimal dlltool support to ghc-toolchain The dlltool is a tool that can create dll import libraries from .def files. These .def files list the exported symbols of dlls. Its somewhat like gnu linker scripts, but more limited. We will need dlltool to build the rts and ghc-internal libraries as DLLs on Windows. The rts and ghc-internal libraries have a recursive dependency on each other. Import libraries can be used to resolve recursive dependencies between dlls. We will use an import library for the rts when linking the ghc-internal library. - - - - - f7fc3770 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-05-12T09:49:48-04:00 Add minimal dlltool support into ./configure Find dlltool, and hopefully support finding it within the bundled llvm toolchain on windows. - - - - - e4e22bfb by Duncan Coutts at 2026-05-12T09:49:48-04:00 Update the default host and target files for dlltool support - - - - - 5666c8f9 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-05-12T09:49:48-04:00 Add dlltool as a hadrian builder Optional except on windows. - - - - - 5e14fe3f by Duncan Coutts at 2026-05-12T09:49:48-04:00 Update and generate libHSghc-internal.def from .def.in file The only symbol that the rts imports from the ghc-internal package now is init_ghc_hs_iface. So the rts only needs an import lib that defines that one symbol. Also, remove the libHSghc-prim.def because it is redundant. The rts no longer imports anything from ghc-prim. Keep libHSffi.def for now. We may yet need it once it is clear how libffi is going to be built/used for ghc. - - - - - 3d91e4a6 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-05-12T09:49:48-04:00 Add rule to build libHSghc-internal.dll.a and link into the rts On windows only, with dynamic linking. This is needed because on windows, all symbols in dlls must be resolved. No dangling symbols allowed. References to external symbols must be explicit. We resolve this with an import library. We create an import library for ghc-internal, a .dll.a file. This is a static archive containing .o files that define the symbols we need, and crucially have ".idata" sections that specifies the symbols the dll imports and from where. Note that we do not install this libHSghc-internal.dll.a, and it does not need to list all the symbols exported by that package. We create a special purpose import lib and only use it when linking the rts dll, so it only has to list the symbols that the rts uses from ghc-internal (which is exactly one symbol: init_ghc_hs_iface). - - - - - c8dae539 by Alice Rixte at 2026-05-12T09:50:52-04:00 Script for downloading and copying `base-exports` file - - - - - 396fb53e by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-05-13T15:27:16+01:00 Do not use mkCast during typechecking This commit fixes #27219. The problem was that the typechecker was using `mkCast`, whose assertion checks legitimately fail when applied to types that contain unification variables. - - - - - aebd95a8 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-05-13T15:27:16+01:00 Major refactor of the Simplifier The main payload of this patch is to refactor the Simplifer to avoid repeated simplification when using Plan (AFTER) for rule rewrites. The need for this was shown up by #26989. See Note [Avoid repeated simplification] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration. Related refactoring: * Refactor the two fields `sc_dup` and `sc_env` in `ApplyToVal` into one, `sc_env`. Reason: the envt is irrelevant in the "simplified" case, so the data type describes the possiblitiies much more accurately now. * Some refactoring in `knownCon` to split off `wrapDataConFloats`. * Refactor `lookupRule` and its auxiliary functions to return `RuleMatch`, a new data type. See Note [data RuleMatch] in GHC.Core. Ditto for BuiltinRule. This RuleMatch returns fragments of the target in rm_args and rm_floats, leaving `rm_rhs` to be the stuff from the RULE itself. Doing this has routine consequences in GHC.Core.Opt.ConstantFold. Many changes there but all routine. * When doing occurrence analysis on RULEs, make the occ-info on the rule binders relate just to the RHS, not the LHS. See (OUR1) in Note Note [OccInfo in unfoldings and rules] This means that Lint must not complain about the fact that the patterns in the RULE mentions binders that are marked dead. See Note [Dead occurrences] in GHC.Core.Lint. I changed the Core pretty-printer so that it didn't suppress dead binders, else I can't see those binders in RULEs. That led to quite a lot of testsuite wibbles. * Refactor FloatBinds, so that it is used both by `exprIsConApp_mabye` and by `lookupRule` * Move the definition of FloatBinds out of GHc.Core.Make, into GHC.Core. * Add FloatTick as an extra constructor. * Refactor `lookupRule` to use `FloatBinds` instead of `BindWrapper`. This refactor just shares more code. (Rename GHC.Core.Opt.FloatOut.FloatBinds to FloatLets, to avoid gratuitious name clash with GHC.Core.FloatBinds.) Corecion optimisation * In simpleOpt, when composing coercions, call new function `optTransCo`. This is much lighter weight than full blown coercion optimisation. * Make `GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.pushCoValArg` and `pushCoTyArg` return the coercionLKind of the coercion. This saves recomputing that coercionLKind at the key call sites in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.pushCast. * Rename `addCoerce` in GHC.Core.Simplify.Iteration to become `pushCast`. * In the `ApplyToVal` case of `pushCast` we had a very unsavoury call to `simplArg`. I eliminated it by adding a field `sc_cast` to `ApplyToVal` that records any pending casts. Much nicer now. See Note [The sc_cast field of ApplyToVal]. * Don't optimise coercions if the type-substitution is empty. See Note [Optimising coercions] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration. The fix for #26838 is dramatic. For the test in perf/compiler/T26839 we have Compiler allocs: Before: 7,363M After: 688M Compile time goes down generally.
