Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/T26722 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 039bac4c by Ben Gamari at 2026-01-09T20:22:16-05:00 ghc-internal: Move STM utilities out of GHC.Internal.Conc.Sync This is necessary to avoid an import cycle on Windows when importing `GHC.Internal.Exception.Context` in `GHC.Internal.Conc.Sync`. On the road to address #25365. - - - - - 8c389e8c by Ben Gamari at 2026-01-09T20:22:16-05:00 base: Capture backtrace from throwSTM Implements core-libraries-committee#297.

The previous implementation is based on loads/stores of individual bytes and concatenating bytes with bitwise operations, which currently cannot be fused to a single load/store operation by GHC. This patch implements fast `get`/`put` functions for `Word16`/`Word32`/`Word64` based on a single memory load/store, with an additional `byteSwap` operation on little-endian hosts. It is based on unaligned load/store primops added since GHC 9.10, and we already require booting with at least 9.10, so it's about time to switch to this faster path. - - - - - 641ec3f0 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-09T20:23:55-05:00 Fix scoping errors in specialisation Using -fspecialise-aggressively in #26682 showed up a couple of subtle errors in the type-class specialiser. * dumpBindUDs failed to call `deleteCallsMentioning`, resulting in a call that mentioned a dictionary that was not in scope. This call has been missing since 2009! commit c43c981705ec33da92a9ce91eb90f2ecf00be9fe Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> Date: Fri Oct 23 16:15:51 2009 +0000 Fixed by re-combining `dumpBindUDs` and `dumpUDs`. * I think there was another bug involving the quantified type variables in polymorphic specialisation. In any case I refactored `specHeader` and `spec_call` so that the former looks for the extra quantified type variables rather than the latter. This is quite a worthwhile simplification: less code, easier to grok. Test case in simplCore/should_compile/T26682, brilliantly minimised by @sheaf. - - - - - 2433e91d by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-09T20:24:43-05:00 compiler: change sectionProtection to take SectionType argument This commit changes `sectionProtection` to only take `SectionType` argument instead of whole `Section`, since it doesn't need the Cmm section content anyway, and it can then be called in parts of NCG where we only have a `SectionType` in scope. - - - - - e5926fbe by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-09T20:24:43-05:00 compiler: change isInitOrFiniSection to take SectionType argument This commit changes `isInitOrFiniSection` to only take `SectionType` argument instead of whole `Section`, since it doesn't need the Cmm section content anyway, and it can then be called in parts of NCG where we only have a `SectionType` in scope. Also marks it as exported. - - - - - 244d57d7 by Cheng Shao at 2026-01-09T20:24:43-05:00 compiler: fix split sections on windows This patch fixes split sections on windows by emitting the right COMDAT section header in NCG, see added comment for more explanation.

For example, suppose we have stack slot assigments %v1 :: FF64 |-> StackSlot 0 %v2 :: FF64 |-> StackSlot 1 Later, we start using %v1 at a larger format (e.g. F64x2) and we need to spill it again. Then we **must not** use StackSlot 0, as a spill at format F64x2 would clobber the data in StackSlot 1. This can cause some fragmentation of the `StackMap`, but that's probably OK.

See (WIS1) in Note [Which Ids should be strictified] I took the opportunity to make substantial improvements in the documentation for call-by-value functions. See especially Note [CBV Function Ids: overview] in GHC.Types.Id.Info Note [Which Ids should be CBV candidates?] ditto Note [EPT enforcement] in GHC.Stg.EnforceEpt among others. - - - - - dc8001c2 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-01-13T16:45:00+00:00 Improve `interestingArg` This function analyses a function's argument to see if it is interesting enough to deserve an inlining discount. Improvements for * LitRubbish arguments * exprIsExpandable arguments See Note [Interesting arguments] which is substantially rewritten. - - - - - 59 changed files: - .gitignore - compiler/GHC/Cmm.hs - compiler/GHC/Cmm/InitFini.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/AArch64/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/Reg/Linear.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/Reg/Linear/StackMap.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/Wasm/FromCmm.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToAsm/X86/Ppr.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToC.hs - compiler/GHC/CmmToLlvm/Data.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Arity.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Simplify/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/SpecConstr.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Specialise.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/WorkWrap.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/WorkWrap/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Tidy.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Unfold.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/CoreToStg/Prep.hs - compiler/GHC/Stg/EnforceEpt.hs - compiler/GHC/Stg/Lint.hs - compiler/GHC/StgToCmm/Closure.hs - compiler/GHC/StgToCmm/Expr.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Id.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Id/Info.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Id/Make.hs - compiler/GHC/Utils/Binary.hs - libraries/base/changelog.md - libraries/base/src/Data/Bifoldable1.hs - libraries/base/src/GHC/Conc.hs - libraries/base/src/GHC/Conc/Sync.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/ghc-internal.cabal.in - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Conc/IO.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Conc/POSIX.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Conc/Sync.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Conc/Sync.hs-boot - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Conc/Windows.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Event/Thread.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/Event/Windows/Thread.hs - + libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/STM.hs - libraries/ghc-internal/src/GHC/Internal/System/Environment/ExecutablePath.hsc - libraries/ghc-platform/src/GHC/Platform/ArchOS.hs - + testsuite/tests/dmdanal/should_run/T26748.hs - + testsuite/tests/dmdanal/should_run/T26748.stdout - testsuite/tests/dmdanal/should_run/all.T - 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 - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T18013.stderr - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26682.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26682a.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26722.hs - + testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26722.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/all.T - utils/ghc-pkg/Main.hs - utils/iserv/iserv.cabal.in The diff was not included because it is too large.
