Cheng Shao pushed to branch wip/drop-unused-cabal-flags at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 66d1a5d5 by fendor at 2026-07-07T16:57:56-04:00 Add 'backendInfoTableMapValidity' backend predicate Check whether the backend supports the `-finfo-table-map` flag and ignore it otherwise. Improve by-design documentation of `backendCodeOutput`. `Backend` is **abstract by design**. Make this clearer in `backendCodeOutput` which is incorrectly being used as a proxy for `Backend`. Instead, define the desired property predicates in GHC.Driver.Backend In the process, make `backendCodeOutput` total. - - - - - 74f1071d by fendor at 2026-07-07T16:57:56-04:00 Add failing test for `-finfo-table-map` and bytecode backend If you compile a module using the bytecode backend, with -finfo-table-map, then the info table map doesn't get populated for the module. This is because the -finfo-table-map code path is implemented mostly in the StgToCmm phase which isn't run when creating bytecode. Ticket #27039 - - - - - 28d63bca by mangoiv at 2026-07-07T16:59:16-04:00 ci: don't fail nightly if there have been no changes that night Fixes #27127 - - - - - 4ebfc478 by Rodrigo Mesquita at 2026-07-08T04:47:53-04:00 ttg: Using ShortText over FastString in the AST To make the AST independent of GHC, this commit replaces usages of `FastString` with `HText` in the AST, killing the last edge from Language.Haskell.* to GHC.* modules. Even though we /do/ want to use FastStrings in general -- critically in Names or Ids -- there is no particular reason for the FastStrings that occur in the AST proper to be FastStrings. Strings in the AST are typically unique and don't benefit particularly from being interned FastStrings with Uniques for fast comparison. `HText` is a type synonym for `ShortText` which uses GHC's Modified UTF-8 encoding exclusively. Modified UTF-8 must be used to represent the Haskell AST because the Haskell Report allows surrogate code points. `Data.Text.Text` functions use Standard UTF-8 which replace surrogates with a placeholder value, thus `Data.Text.Text` is unsuitable for AST strings. See the `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Text` module header for more details.

This item could be checked immediately after sending the merge request though. If reviewers ask for amends later on, and the author amends the merge request, there was no item that would remind the contributors to squash the fixup commits before landing. This commit adds a new item After all approvals and before landing: all fixup commits are squashed with their originating commits. which should be harder to mark as done before approvals have been given. - - - - - ed09895d by Andreas Klebinger at 2026-07-08T16:53:27-04:00 Fix a profiling race condition resulting in segfaults. StgToCmm: Don't assume tagged FUN closures in closureCodeBody. When entering a closure the self/node pointer might not be tagged in some situations when a thunk is evaluated by multiple threads. So we most AND away the tag bits rather than subtracting an expected tag. Apply.cmm: Fix a race condition occuring when a thunk is mutated during GC. In stg_ap_0_fast when might need to run GC before entering a thunk. If this happens another thread or the GC itself might mutate the closure making entering it no longer valid. We now check for this. Add test and changelog for #27123 fixes. - - - - - 67c03eb2 by Cheng Shao at 2026-07-08T16:54:09-04:00 ghc-heap: fix invalid srtlen returned by peekItbl when no-TNTC This patch fixes the no-TNTC code path of `peekItbl` so that it looks at the right memory address when reading the `srt` field from the `StgInfoTable_` struct. Also adds a `T27465` regression test that reproduces the bug on no-TNTC builds before the fix. Fixes #27465.

This allows us to have the logic in one place about which libraries/stages to build with cross compilers. Fixes #24192 ``` This is a major regression to development experience, a plain hadrian/build --freeze1 now takes ages because we rebuild all docs (which need to go in the binary dist dir). `binary-dist-dir` is the wrong default target for regular GHC development work Fixes #27445 - - - - - e16388e3 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:23:25-04:00 .gitignore: Add the hadrian system.config introduced by commit 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2 Since commit 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2 Author: Matthew Pickering <matthewtpickering@gmail.com> Date: Thu Dec 21 16:17:41 2023 +0000 hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers ./configure produces /hadrian/cfg/system.config.{host,target} Add these to .gitignore - - - - - 7e8abf41 by Alan Zimmerman at 2026-07-09T09:24:12-04:00 EPA: Replace AnnListItem with simply [TrailingAnn] Remove the unnecessary wrapper around a single field. - - - - - 29032f17 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:24:58-04:00 testsuite: Keep real reason for fragile test failures - - - - - c34e03a7 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:24:58-04:00 testsuite: Fall back to the failure reason for empty JUnit bodies - - - - - 409d40f0 by Zubin Duggal at 2026-07-09T09:24:58-04:00 testsuite: Show output diffs in JUnit output Also refactor compare_outputs to return essentially a `Maybe Diff` (`CompareOutput`) instead of a bool, but more pythonic.
