Rodrigo Mesquita pushed to branch wip/romes/26227 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: f707bab4 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-07-12T14:56:16+01:00 Specialise: Improve specialisation by refactoring interestingDict This MR addresses #26051, which concerns missed type-class specialisation. The main payload of the MR is to completely refactor the key function `interestingDict` in GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise The main change is that we now also look at the structure of the dictionary we consider specializing on, rather than only the type. See the big `Note [Interesting dictionary arguments]` - - - - - ca7a9d42 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2025-07-12T14:56:16+01:00 Treat tuple dictionaries uniformly; don't unbox them See `Note [Do not unbox class dictionaries]` in DmdAnal.hs, sep (DNB1). This MR reverses the plan in #23398, which suggested a special case to unbox tuple dictionaries in worker/wrapper. But: - This was the cause of a pile of complexity in the specialiser (#26158) - Even with that complexity, specialision was still bad, very bad See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19747#note_626297 And it's entirely unnecessary! Specialision works fine without unboxing tuple dictionaries. - - - - - be7296c9 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-07-12T14:56:16+01:00 Remove complex special case from the type-class specialiser There was a pretty tricky special case in Specialise which is no longer necessary. * Historical Note [Floating dictionaries out of cases] * #26158 * #19747 https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19747#note_626297 This MR removes it.

We wanted this to track the length of nonmovingHeap.free. But this isn't possible to do atomically. When this isn't accurate we can get a segfault by going past the end of the list.

This matters in the case of thin archives, since the filename is used. In the past this worked since `llvm-ar` would produce archives with "small" filenames when possible. However, now it appears to always use the string table.

Various RTS functions took a `profile_id` parameter, intended to be used to distinguish parallel heap profile breakdowns (e.g., `-hT` and `-hi`). However, this feature was never implemented and the `profile_id` parameter was set to 0 throughout the RTS. This commit removes the parameter but leaves the hardcoded profile ID in the functions that emit the encoded eventlog events as to not change the protocol. The affected functions are `traceHeapProfBegin`, `postHeapProfBegin`, `traceHeapProfSampleString`, `postHeapProfSampleString`, `traceHeapProfSampleCostCentre`, and `postHeapProfSampleCostCentre`. - - - - - 76d392a2 by Wen Kokke at 2025-07-16T08:37:04-04:00 Make `traceHeapProfBegin` an init event. - - - - - bbaa44a7 by Peng Fan at 2025-07-16T16:50:42-04:00 NCG/LA64: Support finer-grained DBAR hints For LA664 and newer uarchs, they have made finer granularity hints available: Bit4: ordering or completion (0: completion, 1: ordering) Bit3: barrier for previous read (0: true, 1: false) Bit2: barrier for previous write (0: true, 1: false) Bit1: barrier for succeeding read (0: true, 1: false) Bit0: barrier for succeeding write (0: true, 1: false) And not affect the existing models because other hints are treated as 'dbar 0' there. - - - - - 7da86e16 by Andreas Klebinger at 2025-07-16T16:51:25-04:00 Disable -fprof-late-overloaded-calls for join points. Currently GHC considers cost centres as destructive to join contexts. Or in other words this is not considered valid: join f x = ... in ... -> scc<tick> jmp This makes the functionality of `-fprof-late-overloaded-calls` not feasible for join points in general. We used to try to work around this by putting the ticks on the rhs of the join point rather than around the jump. However beyond the loss of accuracy this was broken for recursive join points as we ended up with something like: rec-join f x = scc<tick> ... jmp f x Which similarly is not valid as the tick once again destroys the tail call. One might think we could limit ourselves to non-recursive tail calls and do something clever like: join f x = scc<tick> ... in ... jmp f x And sometimes this works! But sometimes the full rhs would look something like: join g x = .... join f x = scc<tick> ... -> jmp g x Which, would again no longer be valid. I believe in the long run we can make cost centre ticks non-destructive to join points. Or we could keep track of where we are/are not allowed to insert a cost centre. But in the short term I will simply disable the annotation of join calls under this flag. - - - - - 7ee22fd5 by ARATA Mizuki at 2025-07-17T06:05:30-04:00 x86 NCG: Better lowering for shuffleFloatX4# and shuffleDoubleX2# The new implementation * make use of specialized instructions like (V)UNPCK{L,H}{PS,PD}, and * do not require -mavx.

Otherwise, this function may get randomly stuck, or just behave confusingly. issue: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/26131 NB, I'm running this with cabal *NOT* ghci. ghci messes with buffering anyway. ```haskell interaction :: String -> String interaction "jappie" = "hi" interaction "jakob" = "hello" interaction x = "unkown input: " <> x main :: IO () main = interact interaction ``` so in my input (prefixed by `>`) I get: ```

jappie unkown input: jappie

we confirmed later this was due to lack of \n matching.
Anyway movnig on to more unexpected stuff:

```haskell
main :: IO ()
main = do
  interact  (concatMap interaction . lines)

get's stuck forever. actually `^D` (ctrl+d) unstucks it and runs all input as expected. for example you can get: ```

sdfkds fakdsf unkown input: sdfkdsunkown input: fakdsf

This program works!
```haskell
interaction :: String -> String
interaction "jappie" = "hi \n"
interaction "jakob" = "hello \n"
interaction x = "unkown input: " <> x <> "\n"

main :: IO ()
main = do
  interact  (concatMap interaction . lines)

the reason is that linebuffering is set for both in and output by default. so lines eats the input lines, and all the \n postfixes make sure the buffer is put out. - - - - - 9fa590a6 by Zubin Duggal at 2025-07-17T06:07:03-04:00 fetch_gitlab: Ensure we copy users_guide.pdf and Haddock.pdf to the release docs directory Fixes #24093 - - - - - cc650b4b by Andrew Lelechenko at 2025-07-17T12:30:24-04:00 Add Data.List.NonEmpty.mapMaybe As per https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/337 - - - - - 360fa82c by Duncan Coutts at 2025-07-17T12:31:14-04:00 base: Deprecate GHC.Weak.Finalize.runFinalizerBatch https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/342 - - - - - f4e8466c by Alan Zimmerman at 2025-07-17T12:31:55-04:00 EPA: Update exact printing based on GHC 9.14 tests As a result of migrating the GHC ghc-9.14 branch tests to ghc-exactprint in https://github.com/alanz/ghc-exactprint/tree/ghc-9.14, a couple of discrepancies were picked up - The opening paren for a DefaultDecl was printed in the wrong place - The import declaration level specifiers were not printed.

The tests brought to light that the ImportDecl ppr instance had not been updated for level specifiers, so it updates that too. - - - - - 8b731e3c by Matthew Pickering at 2025-07-21T13:36:43-04:00 level imports: Fix infinite loop with cyclic module imports I didn't anticipate that downsweep would run before we checked for cyclic imports.

Therefore, we now have a precise check that the use level is 1 more than the bind level. Before this bug was not observable as you only had 0 and 1 contexts but it is easily evident when using explicit level imports.

This is now detected in the `Cast` case of `cprAnal`. The same reproducer made it clear that `isRecDataCon` lacked congruent handling for `AppTy` and `CastTy`, now fixed. Furthermore, the new repro case T25944 triggered this bug via an infinite loop in `cprFix`, caused by the infelicity in `isRecDataCon`. While it should be much less likely to trigger such an infinite loop now that `isRecDataCon` has been fixed, I made sure to abort the loop after 10 iterations and emitting a warning instead.

This MR does another major refactor of the way that SPECIALISE pragmas work, to fix #26115, #26116, #26117. * We now /always/ solve forall-constraints in an all-or-nothing way. See Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Solve This means we might have unsolved quantified constraints, which need to be reported. See `inert_insts` in `getUnsolvedInerts`. * I refactored the short-cut solver for type classes to work by recursively calling the solver rather than by having a little baby solver that kept being not clever enough. See Note [Shortcut solving] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Dict * I totally rewrote the desugaring of SPECIALISE pragmas, again. The new story is in Note [Desugaring new-form SPECIALISE pragmas] in GHC.HsToCore.Binds Both old-form and new-form SPECIALISE pragmas now route through the same function `dsSpec_help`. The tricky function `decomposeRuleLhs` is now used only for user-written RULES, not for SPECIALISE pragmas. * I improved `solveOneFromTheOther` to account for rewriter sets. Previously it would solve a non-rewritten dict from a rewritten one. For equalities we were already dealing with this, in Some incidental refactoring * A small refactor: `ebv_tcvs` in `EvBindsBar` now has a list of coercions, rather than a set of tyvars. We just delay taking the free vars. * GHC.Core.FVs.exprFVs now returns /all/ free vars. Use `exprLocalFVs` for Local vars. Reason: I wanted another variant for /evidence/ variables. * Ues `EvId` in preference to `EvVar`. (Evidence variables are always Ids.) Rename `isEvVar` to `isEvId`. * I moved `inert_safehask` out of `InertCans` and into `InertSet` where it more properly belongs. Compiler-perf changes: * There was a palpable bug (#26117) which this MR fixes in newWantedEvVar, which bypassed all the subtle overlapping-Given and shortcutting logic. (See the new `newWantedEvVar`.) Fixing this but leads to extra dictionary bindings; they are optimised away quickly but they made CoOpt_Read allocate 3.6% more. * Hpapily T15164 improves. * The net compiler-allocation change is 0.0% Metric Decrease: T15164 Metric Increase: CoOpt_Read T12425 - - - - - 953fd8f1 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2025-07-25T09:49:58+01:00 Solve forall-constraints immediately, or not at all This MR refactors the constraint solver to solve forall-constraints immediately, rather than emitting an implication constraint to be solved later. The most immediate motivation was that when solving quantified constraints in SPECIALISE pragmas, we really really don't want to leave behind half- solved implications. Also it's in tune with the approach of the new short-cut solver, which recursively invokes the solver. It /also/ saves quite a bit of plumbing; e.g - The `wl_implics` field of `WorkList` is gone, - The types of `solveSimpleWanteds` and friends are simplified. - An EvFun contains binding, rather than an EvBindsVar ref-cell that will in the future contain bindings. That makes `evVarsOfTerm` simpler. Much nicer. It also improves error messages a bit. All described in Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Solve. One tiresome point: in the tricky case of `inferConstraintsCoerceBased` we make a forall-constraint. This we /do/ want to partially solve, so we can infer a suitable context. (I'd be quite happy to force the user to write a context, bt I don't want to change behavior.) So we want to generate an /implication/ constraint in `emitPredSpecConstraints` rather than a /forall-constraint/ as we were doing before. Discussed in (WFA3) of the above Note. Incidental refactoring * `GHC.Tc.Deriv.Infer.inferConstraints` was consulting the state monad for the DerivEnv that the caller had just consulted. Nicer to pass it as an argument I think, so I have done that. No change in behaviour. - - - - - 6921ab42 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2025-07-25T09:49:58+01:00 Remove duplicated code in Ast.hs for evTermFreeVars This is just a tidy up. - - - - - 1165f587 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2025-07-25T09:49:58+01:00 Small tc-tracing changes only - - - - - 0776ffe0 by Simon Hengel at 2025-07-26T04:54:20-04:00 Respect `-fdiagnostics-as-json` for core diagnostics (see #24113) - - - - - cc1116e0 by Andrew Lelechenko at 2025-07-26T04:55:01-04:00 docs: add since pragma to Data.List.NonEmpty.mapMaybe - - - - - ee2dc248 by Simon Hengel at 2025-07-31T06:25:35-04:00 Update comments on `OptKind` to reflect the code reality - - - - - b029633a by Wen Kokke at 2025-07-31T06:26:21-04:00 rts: Disable --eventlog-flush-interval unless compiled with -threaded.

A Tick index can index into ModBreaks.modBreaks_xxx to fetch source-level information about where that tick originated. - When a user specifies e.g. a line breakpoint using :break, we'll reverse engineer what a Tick index for that line - We update the `BreakArray` of that module (got from the LoaderState) at that tick index to `breakOn`. - A BCO we can stop at is headed by a BRK_FUN instruction. This instruction stores in an operand the `tick index` it is associated to. We look it up in the associated `BreakArray` (also an operand) and check wheter it was set to `breakOn`. - The second, aka the `ibi_info_mod` + `ibi_info_ix` of the `InternalBreakpointId`, uniquely index into the `imodBreaks_breakInfo` -- the information we gathered during code generation about the existing breakpoint *ocurrences*. - Note that with optimisation there may be many occurrences of the same source-tick-breakpoint across different modules. The `ibi_info_ix` is unique per occurrence, but the `bi_tick_ix` may be shared. See Note [Breakpoint identifiers] about this. - Note that besides the tick ids, info ids are also stored in `BRK_FUN` so the break handler can refer to the associated `CgBreakInfo`. In light of that, the driving changes come from the desire to have the info_id uniquely identify the breakpoint at runtime, and the source tick id being derived from it: - An InternalBreakpointId should uniquely identify a breakpoint just from the code-generation identifiers of `ibi_info_ix` and `ibi_info_mod`. So we drop `ibi_tick_mod` and `ibi_tick_ix`. - A BRK_FUN instruction need only record the "internal breakpoint id", not the tick-level id. So we drop the tick mod and tick index operands. - A BreakArray should be indexed by InternalBreakpointId rather than BreakpointId That means we need to do some more work when setting a breakpoint. Specifically, we need to figure out the internal ids (occurrences of a breakpoint) from the source-level BreakpointId we want to set the breakpoint at (recall :break refers to breaks at the source level). Besides this change being an improvement to the handling of breakpoints (it's clearer to have a single unique identifier than two competing ones), it unlocks the possibility of generating "internal" breakpoints during Cg (needed for #26042). It should also be easier to introduce multi-threaded-aware `BreakArrays` following this change (needed for #26064).

Moreover, it removes all the now-redundant entries from `lib/settings` that are configured as part of a `Target` but were being written into `settings`. This makes it easier to support multiple targets from the same compiler (aka runtime retargetability). `ghc-toolchain` can be re-run many times standalone to produce a `Target` description for different targets, and, in the future, GHC will be able to pick at runtime amongst different `Target` files. This commit only makes it read the default `Target` configured in-tree or configured when installing the bindist. The remaining bits of `settings` need to be moved to `Target` in follow up commits, but ultimately they all should be moved since they are per-target relevant. Fixes #24212 On Windows, the constant overhead of parsing a slightly more complex data structure causes some small-allocation tests to wiggle around 1 to 2 extra MB (1-2% in these cases). ------------------------- Metric Increase: MultiLayerModulesTH_OneShot T10421 T10547 T12234 T12425 T13035 T18140 T18923 T9198 TcPlugin_RewritePerf ------------------------- - - - - - 4c239c79 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2025-08-01T11:12:48+01:00 ghc-toolchain: Move TgtHasLibm to per-Target file TargetHasLibm is now part of the per-target configuration Towards #26227 - - - - - 9bf33715 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2025-08-01T11:12:48+01:00 ghc-toolchain: Move UseLibdw to per-Target file To support DWARF unwinding, the RTS must be built with the -f+libdw flag and with the -DUSE_LIBDW macro definition. These flags are passed on build by Hadrian when --enable-dwarf-unwinding is specified at configure time. Whether the RTS was built with support for DWARF is a per-target property, and as such, it was moved to the per-target GHC.Toolchain.Target.Target file. Additionally, we keep in the target file the include and library paths for finding libdw, since libdw should be checked at configure time (be it by configure, or ghc-toolchain, that libdw is properly available). Preserving the user-given include paths for libdw facilitates in the future building the RTS on demand for a given target (if we didn't keep that user input, we couldn't) Towards #26227 - - - - - 49ecf692 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2025-08-01T11:12:48+01:00 ghc-toolchain: Make "Support SMP" a query on a Toolchain.Target "Support SMP" is merely a function of target, so we can represent it as such in `ghc-toolchain`.

However, that is a static property of the build, and therefore GHC should simply fix at compile time whether it is compiled with the internal interpreter by checking the HAVE_INTERNAL_INTERPRETER macro.

Its location is hardcoded to a path relative to its `$topdir`. It's unnecessary and confusing to write this into a global or per-target settings file since we don't allow it to be configured (except at runtime with -pgmL).
