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 - - - - - 5fab2238 by Wolfgang Jeltsch at 2026-05-12T21:24:27+03:00 Introduce a cache of home module name providers This contribution introduces to the module graph a cache that maps home module names to sets of units providing them and changes the finder to use that cache. This is a performance optimization, especially for multi-home-unit builds. The particular changes are as follows: * In `GHC.Unit.Module.Graph`, `ModuleGraph` is extended with a new field `mg_home_module_name_providers_map`, exposed as `mgHomeModuleNameProvidersMap`. This is a cache that assigns to each home module name the set of IDs of home units that define it. Operations that construct module graphs are updated such that this cache stays synchronized. * In `GHC.Unit.Finder`, `findImportedModule` is changed to pull `mgHomeModuleNameProvidersMap` from `hsc_mod_graph` and pass it to `findImportedModuleNoHsc`, which now does not search home units in arbitrary order but prioritizes those units that the cache mentions as potential providers of the requested module. In addition, this contribution adds variants of the two multi-component compiler performance tests that use 100 units instead of 20, because with just 20 units the benefits from caching of home module name providers are still negligible. The following table shows the total time needed for running both multi-component tests before and after this contribution and with different numbers of units: | # of units | Before | After | |-----------:|-------:|------:| | 20 | 0:12 | 0:12 | | 100 | 0:47 | 0:42 | | 200 | 3:05 | 2:08 | Note that there seems to be a general overhead of 12 seconds that is not attributable to the actual tests, so that the real running times should be 12 seconds smaller than shown above.
