#7867: Allow template-haskell to communicate with itself between compilation units through the interface file --------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: errge | Owner: Type: | Status: patch feature request | Milestone: 7.8.1 Priority: | Version: 7.6.3 normal | Keywords: Component: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Template Haskell | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Resolution: | Blocked By: 3725, 8337, 8340, 8397, 8398 Operating System: | Related Tickets: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: | None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment (by simonpj): errge, I've been talking to Austin It's very late in the day for 7.8, and we are still discussing the ''design''. So I don't think we can put this in 7.8, otherwise we'll mess it up and/or commit to a design that we subsequently regret. Can you start a GHC Trac wiki page to describe clearly * The use-case you have in mind. Along the lines you have given recently in #8337, but can you give a small concrete example? I still don't get it; for example, is `tcp_connect_timeout` exported, and if not what good is it? * The programmer's-eye view of the design (eg the TH API changes). For example, I'm very dubious about `qReifyModules` because the notion of the "list of modules that are known to the compiler" is such an ill-defined one. Imagine if you were writing a new Haskell compiler: how would you implement that API? What is its actual semantics? * A sketch of the implementation changes needed (and links to tickets) That would help more people participate in the conversation. At the moment you are implementing solutions to problems that we don't understand!

Re: [GHC] #7730: :info and polykinds

#7730: :info and polykinds --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: monoidal | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by simonpj): By default I'm now suppressing the kind arguments. But the problem is still there, as you'll see if you use `-fprint-explicit-kinds`. The trouble is that it's hard to build the `TyCon`s with pretty kind varaibles. When converting to `IfaceSyn` we do pretty-ify them (because interface files work on `OccNames`). So a viable approach would be, in the `info` command, to convert to `IfaceSyn` (using the existing code in `MkIface`) and then print that. I think this would be quite straightforward, but the printing stuff used by GHCi would need to be adapted to use `IfaceSyn` instead. Would anyone care to try this? Simple but a bit fiddly. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7730#comment:3> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

However, there are times when we KNOW that the runtime fast-patch check will fail: {{{ f x y = e foo = ...map (f 3).... }}} In `foo` we'll generate a `SlowCall` to `f`, and there is no point in doing a runtime evaluated-ness and arity check on `f` because we can see statically that it's under-saturated. (Indeed ideally we'd have a RTS entry for known-under-saturated calls.) Or maybe we never ''have'' under- saturated known functions, because core-to-STG eta-expands it. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6084#comment:15> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8133: T7881 fails with hpc

#8133: T7881 fails with hpc ----------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Code Coverage | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: Other Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ----------------------------------+-------------------------- I noticed that T7881 fails with `hpc` way. I investigated a bit and I noticed that if I compile the program without hpc it emits 3 warnings (which is intended): {{{ [t-jastol@cam-05-unx : /5playpen/t-jastol/ghc- validate2/testsuite/tests/numeric/should_compile] '/5playpen/t-jastol/ghc- validate2/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2' -fforce-recomp -c T7881.hs -O T7881.hs:7:6: Warning: Enumeration is empty T7881.hs:25:6: Warning: Enumeration is empty T7881.hs:31:6: Warning: Enumeration is empty }}} But if I add `-fhpc` on the command line the warnings disappear: {{{ [t-jastol@cam-05-unx : /5playpen/t-jastol/ghc- validate2/testsuite/tests/numeric/should_compile] '/5playpen/t-jastol/ghc- validate2/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2' -fforce-recomp -c T7881.hs -O -fhpc [t-jastol@cam-05-unx : /5playpen/t-jastol/ghc- validate2/testsuite/tests/numeric/should_compile] }}} That's the reason why this test fails (mismatch of stderr). I don't know whether this is expected behaviour of hpc or not. If the former, then test configuration should be fixed, if the latter then hpc itself should be fixed. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8133> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
