If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is. If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages. The primitive-memops.h file seems to be part of "primitive" itself.

[GHC] #9633: PolyKinds in 7.8.2 vs 7.8.3

#9633: PolyKinds in 7.8.2 vs 7.8.3 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: crockeea | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: PolyKinds | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: GHC Blocked By: | rejects valid program Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The following code '''compiles''' with GHC 7.8.2. This code has been distilled down from a larger example where I needed `-XPolyKinds` in Bar.hs but not in Foo.hs. In addition, the `modify` function is supposed to modify a mutable `Data.Vector`, hence the inner `go` function has the intended type of `Int -> m ()`, though strictly speaking it could return any value since everything is discarded by the `forM_`. {{{ -- {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-} module Foo where import Control.Monad (forM_) import Control.Monad.Primitive import Bar -- Vector signatures unsafeRead :: (PrimMonad m) => v (PrimState m) a -> Int -> m a unsafeRead = error "type only" unsafeWrite :: (PrimMonad m) => v (PrimState m) a -> Int -> a -> m () unsafeWrite = error "type only" modify :: Int -> Bar v r modify p = Bar (p-1) $ \y -> do let go i = do a <- unsafeRead y i unsafeWrite y i a --return a forM_ [0..(p-1)] go }}} {{{ {-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes, PolyKinds #-} module Bar where import Control.Monad.Primitive data Bar v r = Bar Int (forall s . (PrimMonad s) => v (PrimState s) r -> s ()) }}} In 7.8.3, this above code results in the error (with `-fprint-explicit- kinds`) {{{ Foo.hs:19:23: Couldn't match type ‘a0’ with ‘r’ ‘a0’ is untouchable inside the constraints (PrimMonad m, (~) * (PrimState m) (PrimState s)) bound by the inferred type of go :: (PrimMonad m, (~) * (PrimState m) (PrimState s)) => Int -> m () at Foo.hs:(18,7)-(20,23) ‘r’ is a rigid type variable bound by the type signature for modify :: Int -> Bar * v r at Foo.hs:16:11 Expected type: v0 (PrimState m) a0 Actual type: v (PrimState s) r ...

In the first argument of ‘unsafeWrite’, namely ‘y’ ... Failed, modules loaded: Bar. }}} After much digging, I found that enabling `-XPolyKinds` in Foo.hs gives a more meaningful error: {{{ Foo.hs:19:23: Could not deduce ((~) (* -> k -> *) v v0) ... Expected type: v0 (PrimState m) a0 Actual type: v (PrimState s) r ... In the first argument of ‘unsafeRead’, namely ‘y’ In a stmt of a 'do' block: a <- unsafeRead y i Foo.hs:20:19: Could not deduce ((~) (* -> k -> *) v v1) ... Expected type: v1 (PrimState m) a0 Actual type: v (PrimState s) r ... In the first argument of ‘unsafeWrite’, namely ‘y’ In a stmt of a 'do' block: unsafeWrite y i a Failed, modules loaded: Bar. }}} Adding `PolyKinds` to Foo.hs ''and'' uncommenting `return a` results in the error: {{{ Foo.hs:17:12: Couldn't match kind ‘k’ with ‘k1’ because type variable ‘k1’ would escape its scope This (rigid, skolem) type variable is bound by the type signature for modify :: Int -> Bar k1 v r at Foo.hs:16:11-24 Expected type: Bar k1 v r Actual type: Bar k v0 r0 ...

((~) (* -> k -> *) v0 v, (~) k r0 b, (~) (* -> k -> *) v0 v1, PrimMonad m, (~) * (PrimState m) (PrimState s)) => Int -> m b’ Probable cause: the inferred type is ambiguous In the expression: do { let go i = ...; forM_ [0 .. (p - 1)] go } ... Failed, modules loaded: Bar. }}} These errors can be resolved by modifying the original code above in any of the following ways: 1. Remove `-XPolyKinds` from Bar.hs 2. Add an explicit kind signature to the `v :: * -> * -> *` parameter of type `Bar` 3. With `PolyKinds` in Bar but *not* Foo, uncommenting `return a` make GHC 7.8.3. compile What I'm trying to understand is 1. Why there is different behavior from 7.8.2 to 7.8.3. There doesn't seem to be anything addressing `PolyKinds` in the [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.3/html/users_guide/release-7-8-3.html release notes vs 7.8.2] . 2. In the event the above code should not compile with 7.8.3, there error message could be much clearer. The first error message above didn't help me understand that `PolyKinds` was to blame, while the second error did a better job, and the third was very clearly a `PolyKinds` issue (i.e. `kind mismatch`) 3. For the third resolution option above, I can't see any reason that adding `return a` to the inner `go` function should make the code compile while leaving it out makes the code somehow ambiguous. This, if nothing else, seems like a bug. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9633> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9658: Prettyprint constraints in type signatures can omit necessary parentheses

#9658: Prettyprint constraints in type signatures can omit necessary parentheses -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Blaisorblade | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.8.4 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | Type of failure: Other hour) | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHCi prettyprinting can omit parentheses around constraints, even when they are necessary for the signature to be syntactically valid. This breaks the workflow where one uses type inference to generate type annotations to add to the program. Admittedly, this is nitpicking, but it'd be nice to fix. The example I'm running into is the following (in the context of https://github.com/Blaisorblade/learning- syntactic/blob/e198381e07103d436f4ade24f36d344682dbe5b1/src/Syntactic.hs): {{{#!hs num = inj . Num > :t num num :: NUM :<: sup => Int -> sup (Full Int) }}} Adding the type annotation in gives: {{{ src/Syntactic.hs:115:20: parse error on input `=>' }}} To fix the parse error, I need to add parentheses around the constraint: {{{#!hs num :: (NUM :<: sup) => Int -> sup (Full Int) }}} (Here this happens to be the wrong type signature, but that's orthogonal). I imagine that's just because the constraint uses an operator (probably only possible with TypeOperators). This happens whether I explicitly supply the signature or not, and it also happens on GHC 7.6.3. Misc: I selected milestone, difficulty, priority because it's possible and because fixing this sounds easy; sorry if I shouldn't have. I also didn't check whether this affects HEAD. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9658> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

As discussed, there are at least two reasonable fixes. One of them (named `initsR` in the attached) is a one-liner and gives very good performance in general, but poor performance in certain cases that may or may not appear in real code. The other (named `initsQ` in the attached) is slightly more complex and slightly slower in general, but its performance appears to be robust.
