#8638: Optimize by demoting "denormalized" Integers (i.e. J# -> S#) ------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: hvr Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: 7.8.1 Priority: normal | Version: 7.7 Component: libraries | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple (other) | Type of failure: Runtime performance bug Keywords: integer- | Test Case: gmp | Blocking: Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | ------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- In the course of a recent [discussion on reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/1twtvm/the_problem_with_in… it was highlighted, that `integer-gmp` doesn't try to demote `J#` to the more efficient `S#` if even though they would fit. The attached proof-of-concept patch introduces a "smart" `J#` constructor which constructs a `S#` instead if possible: {{{ #!hs -- | Demote 'J#' to 'S#' if possible. See also 'smartJ#'. toSmall :: Integer -> Integer toSmall i@(S# _) = i toSmall (J# 0# _) = S# 0# toSmall (J# 1# mb#) | isTrue# (v ># 0#) = S# v where v = indexIntArray# mb# 0# toSmall (J# -1# mb#) | isTrue# (v <# 0#) = S# v where v = negateInt# (indexIntArray# mb# 0#) toSmall i = i -- | Smart 'J#' constructor which tries to construct 'S#' if possible smartJ# :: Int# -> ByteArray# -> Integer smartJ# s# mb# = toSmall (J# s# mb#) }}} And replaces a couple of `J#`-constructions which are likely to produce a `S#`-fitting `Integer`. A `nofib` comparison for vanilla GHC HEAD vs patched GHC HEAD is attached for further discussion. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8638> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8643: Silent name shadowing

#8643: Silent name shadowing ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mirpa | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #5288 | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I have code like: {{{ let baseTex = (getTexPropNode nodes . NC.properties . NC.av $ geometry) >>= baseTex >>= (flip Map.lookup texs) . NC.tdSource }}} which gives me error: {{{ Games/secunda/Graph.hs:224:23: Couldn't match expected type `TexProperty -> Maybe a0' with actual type `Maybe b0' In the second argument of `(>>=)', namely `baseTex' In the first argument of `(>>=)', namely `(getTexPropNode nodes . NC.properties . NC.av $ geometry) >>= baseTex' In the expression: (getTexPropNode nodes . NC.properties . NC.av $ geometry) >>= baseTex >>= (flip Map.lookup texs) . NC.tdSource }}} However if I try to get type of expressin on the right hand side of {{{let baseTex = ...}}} in ghci then I get no error. Problem is that I am importing module with function {{{baseTex :: TexProperty -> Maybe TexDesc}}} and that function is shadowed by {{{let}}} expression which should have type of {{{Maybe Texture}}}. I tried to use {{{ghc-options: -Wall -fwarn-name-shadowing}}} in Cabal with no effect. From above error I conclude, that I made a type error. So I try to get type of expression in ghci which results in correct type - that makes my confusion. While I am trying to concentrate on type error, I am missing that I shadowed function by variable. This is not for the first time I've done same mistake. I would appreciate to get warnings about name shadowing since they makes me belief that I am using names of different type. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8643> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
