#8287: exploring calling convention changes and related engineering for 7.10 ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Rocket Science | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I'm creating this as a master ticket for systematically exploring and benchmarking (possibly breaking) changes to the GHC calling convention. This work will initially focus on x86/x86_64, but may have larger scope. Goals: 1. if possible, improve performance systematically for code run on recent CPU micro architecture generations (eg sandybridge, haswell, and future extensions like Knights Landing and Skylake), ideally without pessimizing code on other or older x86_64 micro-architectures 2. Try to bring native and llvm codegens closer to feature parity (or at the very least, do not widen their capability gap) 3. a few other pieces too, will amend this ticket as ideas / plans clarify -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8287> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8325: Pattern guards in anonymous functions

#8325: Pattern guards in anonymous functions ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mcollis | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In the course of a project, I had an idea that would allow less cumbersome use of cases in anonymous functions. Here's a simple example of what I'm proposing: {{{ (\x y | x > y -> x | otherwise -> something else) }}} Currently, the only way to accomplish this is with if() then ... else syntax or the use of the MultiWayIf and LambdaCase extensions. The syntax I've proposed here matches with existing anonymous function syntax and doesn't conflict with any other GHC syntax. This would greatly improve the readability of complex anonymous functions. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8325> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8572: Building an empty module with profiling requires profiling libraries for integer-gmp

#8572: Building an empty module with profiling requires profiling libraries for integer-gmp -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: parcs | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- {{{ #!haskell {-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-} module A where }}} {{{ $ ghc-stage2 -prof -c A.hs Top level: Failed to load interface for ‛GHC.Integer.Type’ Perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package ‛integer-gmp’? Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. }}} I can't built module `A` without profiling libraries for `integer-gmp`, even though I don't use `integer-gmp` anywhere in the module. This happens because the `Tidy Core` pass attempts to look up the `mkInteger` name (in order to desugar integer literals) even when there are no integer literals in the module. The obvious fix is to lazily look up `mkInteger` in `Coreprep.lookupMkIntegerName`: {{{ #!diff diff --git a/compiler/coreSyn/CorePrep.lhs b/compiler/coreSyn/CorePrep.lhs index 5e0cd65..9836982 100644 --- a/compiler/coreSyn/CorePrep.lhs +++ b/compiler/coreSyn/CorePrep.lhs @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ import Config import Data.Bits import Data.List ( mapAccumL ) import Control.Monad +import System.IO.Unsafe ( unsafeInterleaveIO ) \end{code} -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -1119,6 +1120,7 @@ lookupMkIntegerName dflags hsc_env else if thisPackage dflags == integerPackageId then return $ panic "Can't use Integer in integer" else liftM tyThingId + $ unsafeInterleaveIO $ initTcForLookup hsc_env (tcLookupGlobal mkIntegerName) mkInitialCorePrepEnv :: DynFlags -> HscEnv -> IO CorePrepEnv }}} This way, we don't attempt to look up `mkInteger` until we actually need it, i.e. if there are integer literals that we must desugar.

However, people might forget to implement it thus cause run time error. Wish GHC will show some warning/errors at compilation.
