Alan Zimmerman pushed to branch wip/az/exactprint-annotation-rationalisation at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 2f3cc9ff by Simon Jakobi at 2026-06-08T07:55:49-04:00 testsuite: detect fast bignum via ghc-internal, not removed ghc-bignum The ghc-bignum package was merged into ghc-internal, so the BIGNUM_GMP probe in test.mk ran `ghc-pkg field ghc-bignum exposed-modules`, which fails with "cannot find package ghc-bignum". That error went to stderr and leaked into the captured stderr of every makefile_test, causing spurious [bad stderr] failures across the suite. The probe also silently returned empty, so config.have_fast_bignum was wrongly False even on GMP builds. Probe ghc-internal's extra-libraries for the gmp library instead: the GMP backend module is an other-module (not exposed), but GMP_LIBS adds gmp to extra-libraries only on a GMP build, so this distinguishes the backends. Redirect stderr to keep any future missing-package error off the harness's stderr. This also removes a stale comment as per suggestion from hsyl20.

With the new condition based on command line lenght, reponse files can be avoided in many more cases (on windows). Now that response files are only used in a small number of cases, response files are always kept and the -r / --keep-response-files command line options have been removed The response file paths are nolonger randomized. They are placed in the `_build/rsp` directory. This ensures they are ignored by git and we that Hadrian reuses response file paths when rebuilding rather than leaving stale response files around. Update user guide putting response files in its own section - - - - - 87f510a5 by Simon Hengel at 2026-06-09T18:03:25-04:00 Don't use non-breaking spaces - - - - - 41a19379 by David Eichmann at 2026-06-09T18:04:11-04:00 Hadrian: remove unused wrapper scripts from windows bindist These wrapper scripts are only installed on non-relocatable builds which are not generally supported on windows. - - - - - ce01ccb6 by sheaf at 2026-06-10T05:08:48-04:00 Don't drop ticks around variables of type `IO ()` GHC.Core.Utils.mkTick is responsible for placing a tick on a Core expression. It contains logic for dropping SCCs (non-counting profiling ticks) around non-function variables, as such variables cannot meaningfully contribute to profiles. However, the logic for what counts as a function was incorrect: it used `isFunTy` which returns 'False' for types such as 'IO ()' where the function arrow is hidden under a newtype. We now use 'mightBeFunTy' instead of 'isFunTy'. This ensures we don't drop ticks in cases we aren't sure. On the way, we improve the documentation of 'isFunTy', 'isPiTy' and 'mightBeFunTy', and update the latter's implementation to consistently handle unary classes.

Uses simonpj's `data T a = T !a` example from the ticket; T4081.stderr captures the expected Core.

This was not reflected in the Hadrian build script, causing a delayed build failure instead of enforcing the version requirement upfront, which this patch does.

This rendered invalid the subsequent computation of the high bits. This commit fixes that by using a temporary register. The register allocator can remove the redundant move in the common case when the registers do not conflict. Fixes #27046 - - - - - 7ab90288 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2026-06-11T12:41:11-04:00 fix: make T27131 less flaky It seems that T27131 fails flakily in a race where we check the flag before the capability had the chance to process the mailbox which sets the flag. This seemingly should only happen if the capability ends up being the same for setting and checking the flag. - - - - - 8965cb76 by Marc Scholten at 2026-06-12T04:53:22-04:00 haddock: render modules concurrently - - - - - 8cc0b64a by Duncan Coutts at 2026-06-12T04:54:06-04:00 Promote HAVE_PREEMPTION from Timer.c to OSThreads.h We will want to know about HAVE_PREEMPTION in more places. HAVE_PREEMPTION tells us that we do have OS threads available, irrespective of whether THREADED is defined. In particular, HAVE_PREEMPTION is defined on all proper OSs, but not on WASM (and hyopthetically may not be true on some other platforms like micro-controllers, RTOSs, VM hypervisors etc). - - - - - cce574ed by Duncan Coutts at 2026-06-12T04:54:06-04:00 Define ACQUIRE_LOCK_ALWAYS and friends Fix issue #27335 Like the atomic _ALWAYS variants, these lock actions are always defined, rather than being dependent on whether we are in the THREADED case. All the "normal" LOCK macros are defined to be no-ops when !THREADED. The use case for the _ALWAYS variants is where we are using OS threads even in the non-threaded RTS. This includes everything to do with the timer/ticker thread, which is used in the non-threaded RTS too. In particular, we will want to use this for eventlog things, because the timer thread performs eventlogging concurrently with the main capability, even in the non-threaded RTS. - - - - - 1f28d1f6 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-06-12T04:54:06-04:00 Use ACQUIRE/RELEASE_LOCK_ALWAYS with eventBufMutex Even in the non-threaded RTS the eventBufMutex is needed by both the main capability and the timer/ticker thread, so always use the mutex. This should fix #25165 which is about the main capability and the timer thread posting events to the eventlog buffer concurrently and thereby corrupting the buffer data. - - - - - 0ff29782 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-06-12T04:54:06-04:00 Expose eventBufMutex in the EventLog interface/header We will need it in forkProcess to ensure we don't write to the global eventlog buffer concurrently with trying to flush eventlog buffers and do the fork(). - - - - - 7a688395 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-06-12T04:54:07-04:00 Split flushAllCapsEventsBufs into safe and unlocked version Following the convention that unlocked versions have a trailing _ underscore in their name. This one requires the caller to hold the eventlog global buffer mutex. We will need this in forkProcess. - - - - - 341ed474 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-06-12T04:54:07-04:00 Remove redundant use of stopTimer in setNumCapabilities Historically, the comment here was: We must stop the interval timer while we are changing the capabilities array lest handle_tick may try to context switch an old capability. See #17289. and We must disable the timer while we do this since the tick handler may call contextSwitchAllCapabilities, which may see the capabilities array as we free it. What this refers to is that historically, when changing the number of capabilities, the array of capabilities was reallocated to a new size, allocating new ones and freeing the old ones, thus invalidating all existing capbility pointers. Strangely, for good measure the code used to call stopTimer twice (hence the two similar comments above). However, since commit a3eccf06292dd666b24606251a52da2b466a9612, the capabilities array is no longer reallocated. Instead the array is allcoated once on RTS startup to the maximum size it could ever be allowed to be, and then capabilities get enabled/disabled at runtime. So the capability pointers never become invalid anymore. At worst, they may point to capabilities that are disabled. Thus we no longer need to stop the timer (twice) while we change the number of enabled capabilities. This also partially solves issue #27105, which notes that stopTimer is being used as if it were synchronous, when it is not. At least for this case, the solution is that stopTimer is not needed at all! - - - - - 674858e3 by Duncan Coutts at 2026-06-12T04:54:07-04:00 Remove redundant use of stopTimer in forkProcess but replace it with taking the eventlog buffer lock during the fork. Fixes issue #27105 The original reason to block the timer during a fork was that historically the timer was implemented using a periodic timer signal, and the signal itself would interrupt the fork system call (returning EINTR). For large processes (where fork() takes a while) this could permanently livelock: the timer always would go off before the fork could complete, which got retried in a loop forever. The timer is no longer implemented as a unix signal, but uses threads. Thus the original problem no longer exists. The only remaining reason to block the timer tick is to prevent actions taken by the tick from interfering with the delicate process involved in fork (taking a load of locks and pausing everything). The only thing we need to do is to prevent the eventlog from being written to or flushed while the fork is taking place. To achieve this all we need to do is hold the mutex for the global eventlog buffer. This removes the last use of stopTimer that expects stopTimer to work synchronously (which it was not) and thus solves issue #27105. To be clear, we solve issue #27105 not by making stopTimer synchronous, but by eliminating the use sites that expected it to be synchronous. - - - - - 40764930 by sheaf at 2026-06-12T14:54:43-04:00 Add type family performance test for #26426 Some GHC versions produced large numbers of coercions after typechecking and desugaring when compiling the program in #26426: Version | Typechecker time | Typechecker allocations | Coercions -------:|-----------------:|------------------------:|---------: 9.6 | 47 ms | 48 MB | 110k 9.8 | 1000 ms | 486 MB | 10,437k 9.10 | 922 ms | 489 MB | 10,436k 9.12 | 906 ms | 482 MB | 10,437k 9.14 | 63 ms | 55 MB | 333k 10.0 | 47 ms | 64 MB | 35k The improvement 9.12 -> 9.14 was due to commit 22d11fa818fae2c95c494fc0fac1f8cb4c6e7cb6, while the improvement 9.14 -> 10.0 was due to commit 0b7df6db9e46df40e86fbff1a66dc10440b99db5. As the behaviour of GHC seems better than it's ever been on this program, we declare victory, adding this performance test to ensure we don't regress on this program. On the way, we update Note [Combining equalities] in GHC.Tc.SolveR.Equality with the explanation of the 9.12 -> 9.14 improvement (getting rid of an exponential blowup in coercion sizes), and we update Note [Exploiting closed type families] in GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps with the explanation of the 9.14 -> 10.0 improvement (bringing down coercion size growth from cubic to quadratic). - - - - - 0f3d0a71 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-06-12T14:55:30-04:00 compiler: mark tool messages as errors/warnings depending on the exit code Fixes #27370 - - - - - d9ea2d76 by mangoiv at 2026-06-13T04:41:51-04:00 libraries/process: bump submodule to v1.6.30.0 - bump the submodule to the appropriate tag - suppress benign warning resulting from the change - - - - - 6ebaaba3 by David Eichmann at 2026-06-13T04:42:37-04:00 ghc-toolchain: don't throw when candidate executables are not found Fixes #27369 - - - - - 6c65e1e1 by David Eichmann at 2026-06-13T04:43:23-04:00 CI: lint-changelog checks for no-changelog label in script instead of rules - - - - - 8760741e by Alan Zimmerman at 2026-06-13T17:44:51+01:00 EPA: Rename Transform.anchorEof to addModuleCommentOrigDeltas This now matches what it actually does. - - - - - da7cc455 by Alan Zimmerman at 2026-06-13T17:44:51+01:00 EPA: Use standard type family declaration for Anno - - - - - 3735af95 by Alan Zimmerman at 2026-06-13T17:44:51+01:00 TTG: Add extension points to HsConDetails In contrast to normal TTG extension points, these are indexed by the arg and rec type parameters, since HsConDetails is a container type used in various roles.
