#8317: Optimize tagToEnum# at Core level ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #6135 | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Old comparison primops that returned Bool were implemented by inserting call to `tagToEnum#` in the code generator. This call to `tagToEnum#` was later optimized away by a special case in the code geenrator (see [[GhcFile(compiler/codeGen/StgCmmExpr.hs)]], Note [case on bool])). Now that we have new comparison primops (see #6135) we no longer insert `tagToEnum#` in the code generator - all uses of `tagToEnum#` come from explicit calls in a source program. But we still have that special case in the code generator to optimize away `tagToEnum#`. We should drop that special case in the code generator and handle scrutinizing of `tagToEnum#` at the Core level by: 1. removing call to `tagToEnum#` in the scrutinee 2. adding calls to `dataToTag#` in case branches 3. constant-folding inserted `dataToTag#` Here is an example. This Haskell code: {{{ if tagToEnum# (a ># b) then E1 else E2 }}} will be translated to this Core: {{{ case tagToEnum# (a ># b) of True -> E1 False -> E2 }}} and optimized like this: {{{ case a ># b of dataToTag# True -> E1 dataToTag# False -> E2 }}} ====> {{{ case a ># b of 1 -> E1 0 -> E2 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8317> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8147: Exponential behavior in instance resolution on fixpoint-of-sum -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: jkoppel | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: | Version: 7.6.3 normal | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Component: | Type of failure: Compile-time performance bug Compiler | Test Case: Keywords: | Blocking: performance, | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Doing instance resolution on a fixpoint-of-sum type takes a very long time. This is possibly the same issue as issue #5642. These are the numbers I see for various n: {{{ 10 : 0.329s 20 : 0.479s 40 : 0.935s 80 : 2.821s 160 : 11.694s 320 : 1m30.39s 640: Ran for over 1 hour without terminating }}} This uses a couple of attached support files. Apologies for not being able to reduce further. {{{ -- Test.hs {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses, FlexibleInstances, UndecidableInstances, OverlappingInstances, TypeOperators, DeriveFunctor, TemplateHaskell #-} module Test where import Control.Monad import Lib import TH {- With n=3, produces data X1 e = X1 e deriving (Functor) data X2 e = X2 e deriving (Functor) data X3 e = X3 e deriving (Functor) type X = X1 :+: X2 :+: X3 -} $(let n = 320 in liftM concat $ sequence [liftM concat $ mapM mkDec $ map (('X':).show) [1..n] , makeSumType "X" (map (('X':).show) [1..n])]) data Y0 e = Y0 e deriving ( Functor ) type X' = Y0 :+: X class Lift f g where lift' :: f (Fix g) -> Fix g instance (Lift f g, Lift f' g) => Lift (f :+: f') g where lift' x = case x of L e -> lift' e R e -> lift' e instance (Functor f, f :<: g) => Lift f g where lift' = In . inj cata :: (Functor f) => (f a -> a) -> Fix f -> a cata f = f . fmap (cata f) . out lift :: Fix X -> Fix X' lift = cata lift' }}} Virtually all the time is spent in compiling lift. For example, with n=640, commenting out lift makes it compile in around 2 seconds. Interestingly, when I add the following code, compilation times only increase by 10-20%. In the original code where I encountered this issue, doing so doubles compilation time. {{{ instance Lift Y0 X where lift' = undefined lower :: Fix X' -> Fix X lower = cata lift' }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8147> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8346: Rank 1 type signature still requires RankNTypes ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: tinctorius | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.6.3 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: GHC rejects valid program Architecture: | Test Case: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #2605 | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- When trying to figure out which type variable names are *actually* bound in `ScopedTypeVariables`, I tried floating `forall`s into the covariant argument of the function type. Essentially, I ran into the problem that programs like the following are rejected: {{{ #!hs {-# LANGUAGE ExplicitForAll #-} tuple :: forall a. a -> (forall b. b -> (a, b)) tuple = (,) }}} The message is as follows: {{{ Main.hs:2:10: Illegal polymorphic or qualified type: forall b. b -> (a, b) Perhaps you intended to use -XRankNTypes or -XRank2Types In the type signature for `tuple': tuple :: forall a. a -> (forall b. b -> (a, b)) }}} As far as I know, the rank of a type is defined by how deep quantifiers are nested in contravariant parts of that type. Or something like that. Also, as far as I know, `forall a. a -> (forall b. b -> (a, b))` is equivalent to `forall a b. a -> b -> (a, b)`, and more importantly, both are rank-1 polymorphic. There should be no need to use extensions that allow higher-ranked polymorphism. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8346> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8082: Ordering of assembly blocks affects performance ----------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (NCG) | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ----------------------------------+--------------------------------- During my work on #6135 I noticed that performance of reverse-complem benchmark in nofib depends highly on the order in which assembly block are laid out. With my patches I am consistently getting a 18-20% speed-up. In theory my patches should not impact performance of existing programs, but for some reason they affect the ordering of generated assembly blocks. On of the earlier versions of my patch I noticed that kahan benchmark suffered a 16% performance hit and again the only difference I noticed in the generated assembly was ordering of blocks. I did a more in-depth investigation in case of kahan and it turned out that this difference results from the way Core is generated: the difference between HEAD and my patches was that a worker function had its three parameters passed in different order. I did not investigate this for reverse-complem because Core is considerably larger, but I could spend some time on it if it might be relevant. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8082> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8155: Defaulting bug or unfortunate error message with closed type families

#8155: Defaulting bug or unfortunate error message with closed type families ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | 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: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- https://github.com/nh2/infinite-type-families/blob/master/Test2.hs Some code extracted from hmatrix: {{{ {-# LANGUAGE CPP #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-} {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-} module Test where data Vector a = Vector a data Matrix a = Matrix a class Build f where build' :: BoundsOf f -> f -> ContainerOf f #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ <= 706 -- Normal type families with GHC 7.6, works well. type family BoundsOf x type instance BoundsOf (a->a) = Int type instance BoundsOf (a->a->a) = (Int,Int) type family ContainerOf x type instance ContainerOf (a->a) = Vector a type instance ContainerOf (a->a->a) = Matrix a #else -- Closed type families for GHC 7.8 type family BoundsOf x where BoundsOf (a->a->a) = (Int,Int) BoundsOf (a->a) = Int type family ContainerOf x where ContainerOf (a->a) = Vector a ContainerOf (a->a->a) = Matrix a #endif instance (Num a) => Build (a->a) where build' = buildV buildV :: (Integral a, Num b) => a -> (b -> c) -> Vector c buildV _ _ = undefined }}} This is probably related to #8154. With GHC 7.7, we get the following error: {{{ Test2.hs:59:14: Could not deduce (BoundsOf (a -> a) ~ Integer) from the context (Num a) bound by the instance declaration at Test2.hs:58:10-32 Expected type: BoundsOf (a -> a) -> (a -> a) -> ContainerOf (a -> a) Actual type: Integer -> (a -> a) -> Vector a Relevant bindings include build' :: BoundsOf (a -> a) -> (a -> a) -> ContainerOf (a -> a) (bound at Test2.hs:59:5) In the expression: buildV In an equation for ‛build'’: build' = buildV }}} 1) Where does this Integer come from? 2) Change {{{ BoundsOf (a->a) = Int }}} into {{{ BoundsOf (a->a) = Integer }}} You get the same error message, although clearly {{{BoundsOf (a -> a) ~ Integer}}} (you just wrote that down).[[BR]] Even if the order matters in closed type families, is this not the wrong error message? 3) If you flip the order so that the (a->a) case comes first, it works (with both it Int or Integer). I don't quite understand why. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8155> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
