Hannes Siebenhandl pushed to branch wip/fendor/remove-stg_stackDecode at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 1a361d8b by fendor at 2025-08-28T13:48:09+02:00 Move stack decoding logic from ghc-heap to ghc-internal The stack decoding logic in `ghc-heap` is more sophisticated than the one currently employed in `CloneStack`. We want to use the stack decoding implementation from `ghc-heap` in `base`. We cannot simply depend on `ghc-heap` in `base` due do bootstrapping issues. Thus, we move the code that is necessary to implement stack decoding to `ghc-internal`. This is the right location, as we don't want to add a new API to `base`. Moving the stack decoding logic and re-exposing it in ghc-heap is insufficient, though, as we have a dependency cycle between. * ghc-heap depends on stage1:ghc-internal * stage0:ghc depends on stage0:ghc-heap To fix this, we remove ghc-heap from the set of `stage0` dependencies. This is not entirely straight-forward, as a couple of boot dependencies, such as `ghci` depend on `ghc-heap`. Luckily, the boot compiler of GHC is now >=9.10, so we can migrate `ghci` to use `ghc-internal` instead of `ghc-heap`, which already exports the relevant modules. However, we cannot 100% remove ghc's dependency on `ghc-heap`, since when we compile `stage0:ghc`, `stage1:ghc-internal` is not yet available. Thus, when we compile with the boot-compiler, we still depend on an older version of `ghc-heap`, and only use the modules from `ghc-internal`, if the `ghc-internal` version is recent enough. ------------------------- Metric Increase: T24602_perf_size T25046_perf_size_gzip T25046_perf_size_unicode T25046_perf_size_unicode_gzip size_hello_artifact size_hello_artifact_gzip size_hello_unicode size_hello_unicode_gzip ------------------------- These metric increases are unfortunate, they are most likely caused by the larger (literally in terms of lines of code) stack decoder implementation that are now linked into hello-word binaries. On linux, it is almost a 10% increase, which is considerable. - - - - - 15c35e87 by fendor at 2025-08-28T13:48:10+02:00 Implement `decode` in terms of `decodeStackWithIpe` Uses the more efficient stack decoder implementation. - - - - - be4cbbf4 by fendor at 2025-08-28T13:48:10+02:00 Remove stg_decodeStackzh - - - - - 52 changed files: - compiler/GHC/ByteCode/Types.hs - compiler/GHC/Runtime/Heap/Inspect.hs - compiler/ghc.cabal.in - hadrian/src/Rules/ToolArgs.hs - hadrian/src/Settings/Default.hs - libraries/base/src/GHC/Stack/CloneStack.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/ClosureTypes.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/Closures.hs - + libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/Constants.hs - + libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/InfoTable.hs - + libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/InfoTable/Types.hs - + libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/InfoTableProf.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/ProfInfo/Types.hs - + libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Stack/Constants.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Stack/Decode.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/ghc-heap.cabal.in - libraries/ghc-heap/cbits/HeapPrim.cmm → libraries/ghc-internal/cbits/HeapPrim.cmm - libraries/ghc-heap/cbits/Stack.cmm → libraries/ghc-internal/cbits/Stack.cmm - libraries/ghc-internal/cbits/StackCloningDecoding.cmm - libraries/ghc-heap/cbits/Stack_c.c → libraries/ghc-internal/cbits/Stack_c.c - libraries/ghc-internal/ghc-internal.cabal.in - libraries/ghc-internal/jsbits/base.js - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Exception/Backtrace.hs - + libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Heap/Closures.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/Constants.hsc → libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Heap/Constants.hsc - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/InfoTable.hsc → libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Heap/InfoTable.hsc - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/InfoTable/Types.hsc → libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Heap/InfoTable/Types.hsc - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap/InfoTableProf.hsc → libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Heap/InfoTableProf.hsc - + libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Heap/ProfInfo/Types.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Stack/CloneStack.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Stack/Constants.hsc → libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Stack/Constants.hsc - + libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Stack/Decode.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/Makefile → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/Makefile - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/TestUtils.hs → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/TestUtils.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/all.T → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/all.T - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame001.hs → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame001.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame001.stdout → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame001.stdout - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame002.hs → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame002.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame002.stdout → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame002.stdout - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame003.hs → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame003.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame003.stdout → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame003.stdout - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame004.hs → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame004.hs - libraries/ghc-heap/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame004.stdout → libraries/ghc-internal/tests/stack-annotation/ann_frame004.stdout - libraries/ghci/GHCi/Message.hs - libraries/ghci/ghci.cabal.in - rts/CloneStack.c - rts/CloneStack.h - rts/RtsSymbols.c - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout-javascript-unknown-ghcjs - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout-mingw32 - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout-ws-32 The diff was not included because it is too large.
