[FYI] GitLab upgraded
by Ben Gamari 16 Jan '19

Hi everyone, I have upgraded our GitLab instance. While generally the changes are pretty minor, one significant change is that batched review comments should now result in a single email notification. Anyways, as always, let me know whether there is any trouble. Cheers, - Ben

Bug in "changes" tab in Gitlab
by Ömer Sinan Ağacan 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Hi, I think there's a currently a bug in "changes" tab in gitlab. If you look at [1] it shows as if I added a new line in `Main.hs`, but actually I just changed one word: diff --git a/utils/genapply/Main.hs b/utils/genapply/Main.hs index 71b84fde79..7038dc5c09 100644 --- a/utils/genapply/Main.hs +++ b/utils/genapply/Main.hs @@ -903,7 +903,7 @@ genStackApply regstatus args = -- -- These code fragments are used to save registers on the stack at a heap -- check failure in the entry code for a function. We also have to save R1 --- and the return address (stg_gc_fun_info) on the stack. See stg_gc_fun_gen +-- and the return address (stg_gc_fun_info) on the stack. See __stg_gc_fun -- in HeapStackCheck.cmm for more details. I'm guessing that Gitlab is confused by the `---` prefix in the diff. I was going to report it but I realized that we're not using the latest version (the "help" page says "update asap"), so perhaps we should try updating first?

RE: GHC | Some refactoring in tcInferApps (!116)

Thanks. But none of the pictures arrived, so I can’t interpret what you say. I think I did see Richards face here and there (and mine), if that’s want avatars means. Hovering showed a snippet of a comment; but clicking did nothing. I’m also terribly reluctant to scroll through thousands of lines of diff looking for avarars.

Hey, Quick question: Does GHC have an upper limit on the length of binding names? Cheers!

RE: GHC | Some refactoring in tcInferApps (!116)

Devs I’m at a loss for how to review GitLab changes. Richard sent me the message below. So I follow the link to “View on GitLab”, or I manually edit the URL to plain https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/116 Either way, I can’t see any comments whatsoever! It says 5/5 discussions resolved, but I can’t actually see them. There is not “toggle discussion” button anywhere. What should I do? This is quite a big problem. I suppose we could issue guidance NEVER to resolve a discussion, but that seems like the wrong conclusion.

Reviews

When reviewing a MR, I sometimes want to look at (and even add comments to) code that isn't displayed in the MR window. With Phab there was a "show 20 more lines" link, and even "show the whole file". How do I do that in GitLab? When submitting a review, I often want to add an overall comment, not related to a particular line of code? How do I do that? Thanks Simoin

More GitLab questions
by Simon Peyton Jones 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

* When looking at a comment on a MR, I see some snippet of code. How can I see what module that snippet is in? Apart from scrolling up to find the file header - being careful not to miss it and scroll into the previous file. * When looking a comment, there's a little button to skip to the next unresolved comment. Good. But if I respond to the comment (without resolving it), that little button disappears. How can I find the next unresolved comment? Simon

Changes to UserSettings.hs
by Matthew Pickering 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Hi all, Last night my patch got merged which changed some aspects of the hadrian settings file. If you have a custom settings file (ie hadrian/UserSettings.hs), you need to remove reference to the `stage1Only` variable and add a new variable called `finalStage` which should default to `Stage2`. https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/commit/6486c6e49c53e75f37ed732b38c5be7ae… Cheers, Matt

Hadrian
by Simon Peyton Jones 09 Jan '19

Alp You've written a helpful wiki page describing how to use Hadrian https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/blob/master/hadrian/doc/make.md Could you document where build-products live? I often look at .hi files. Could you add * How to do the equivalent of "sh validate" * When validating, how to do things like this: GhcStage1HcOpts += -DDEBUG -O GhcStage2HcOpts += -Wwarn -ticky GhcLibHcOpts += -ticky -Wwarn BUILD_PROF_LIBS = NO SplitObjs = YES HADDOCK_DOCS = NO BUILD_SPHINX_HTML = NO BUILD_SPHINX_PDF = NO * After modifying the source code, how to make stage1 compiler (only). In 'make' it is $ cd compiler; make 1 * After modifying the source code, build the stage2 compiler (only). In 'make' it is $ cd compiler; make 2 Perhaps you say build -freeze1? * In the testsuite, how to use the stage1 compiler $ make stage=1 TEST=T2543 * In nofib, how to build one benchmark, with extra flags, perhaps even with the stage1 compiler $ make stage=1 EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-ticky -ddump-simpl -ddump-stg" Thanks!
