[GHC] #8182: Parser.y.pp needs special treatment with -fcmm-sink

#8182: Parser.y.pp needs special treatment with -fcmm-sink ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: thoughtpolice | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | 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: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This bug is really more of a reminder, but it's critical for the 7.8.1 release. Right now, `Parser.y.pp` uses a very weird hack to pass `-fcmm-sink` to the compiler. Here's the relevant comment: {{{ -- CPP tricks because we want the directives in the output of the -- first CPP pass. -- -- Clang note, 6/17/2013 by aseipp: It is *extremely* important (for -- some reason) that there be a line of whitespace between the two -- definitions here, and the subsequent use of __IF_GHC_77__ - this -- seems to be a bug in clang or something, where having the line of -- whitespace will make the preprocessor correctly format the rendered -- lines in the 'two step' CPP pass. No, this is not a joke. #define __IF_GHC_77__ #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 707 #define __ENDIF__ #endif __IF_GHC_77__ -- Required on x86 to avoid the register allocator running out of -- stack slots when compiling this module with -fPIC -dynamic. {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fcmm-sink #-} __ENDIF__ }}} This is because the parser is first preprocessed before being run with GHC (which again preprocesses,) so we want the resulting `#ifdef` in the final `.hs` file. Things to note: * We really shouldn't be doing this, it's amazingly fragile. I think the correct thing to do is to ensure the build system correctly passes `-fcmm- sink` during the stage[2,3] build. * `./configure.ac` needs to check to see if the bootstrapping compiler is `ghc >= 7.7` (or `7.8`) and if it is, ''also'' pass `-fcmm-sink` during the stage1 build. * This hack needs to be removed once we can rely on >= 7.8 for bootstrap. Probably something like the hypothetical 7.12-7.14 timeframe. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8182> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9734: Provide macro __GLASGOW_HASKELL_TH__ -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The Debian packaging added a few hacks to create a CPP macro that can be used to distinguish compilers with Template Haskell support from those that don’t have that support. We need this to compiler some code on non- TH architectures. It works, but we found that we cannot upstream such patches, which is a shame. I propose that among the GHC-defined macros listed at https://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/options- phases.html#c-pre-processor there is also `__GLASGOW_HASKELL_TH__=YES`, which is available if the compiler supports splices, or ``__GLASGOW_HASKELL_TH__=NO` if not. (I propose a two-valued comparison so that library authors can decide themselves what the default should be if this symbol is not defined, some might want to use TH on older compilers, some not.) I hope this can be part of 7.10. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9734> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9237: GHC not recognizing "-llibrary" form in implicit linker scripts

I am using Arch Linux and GHC 7.8.2. I have installed llvm-general-3.4.2.2 and llvm-general-pure-3.4.2.2 from this branch: https://github.com/tvh/llvm- general/tree/curatedTargetMachine, and accelerate from HEAD to common sandbox. Then I tried to build accelerate-llvm using the sandbox and got this output during building: {{{ Building accelerate-llvm-0.15.0.0... Preprocessing library accelerate-llvm-0.15.0.0...

In Arch, this file contains `INPUT(-lncursesw)`. If I change it to `INPUT(libncursesw.so)` or `INPUT(/usr/lib/libncursesw.so)` it works fine. Symlinking `/usr/lib/libcurses.so` to `/usr/lib/libncursesw.so` also works. This bug seems to be connected to #2615. GHC still doesn't follow `INPUT` commands containing `-llibrary` form. Ld documentation allows this: {{{If you use `INPUT (-lfile)', ld will transform the name to libfile.a, as with the command line argument `-l'}}}.

[GHC] #9176: GHC not generating dyn_hi files

#9176: GHC not generating dyn_hi files ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: heatsink | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: dynamic | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: Other Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ----------------------------------+---------------------------- In some situations, GHC terminates successfully and generates a `dyn_o` file, but no `dyn_hi` file. As a result, a package that contains a library seems to build successfully, but fails to install. I narrowed the problem down to the following test case. I compile it with `ghc --make -shared -dynamic-too Foo`. It seems to be Parsec-related, but I don't know how to trace it further. {{{ module Foo where import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec }}} Parsec was installed with `cabal install --reinstall --user --enable- shared --disable-library-profiling parsec-3.1.5`. Some Parsec modules do not cause the missing `dyn_hi` file. For instance, all output files are created if Foo imports `Text.Parsec.Pos` instead of `Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec`. GHC was built from source, commit 9e10963e394680dbb1b964c66cb428a2aa03df09, compiled by GHC 7.6.3 with XCode 5.1.1 on OS X 10.9.3. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9176> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9760: ghc -c 7.8 drops last char of file name if -osuf contains a dot

#9760: ghc -c 7.8 drops last char of file name if -osuf contains a dot -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.4 Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Moderate (less | Type of failure: than a day) | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I discovered that if I compile with `ghc -c -osuf .something Myfile.hs` where `Myfile.hs` contains TH and thus has to dynamically link in, say, `Other.hs`, I get the error that {{{ Myfile.hs:1:1: cannot find normal object file 'Othe.dyn_o` while linking an interpreted expression }}} So `Other` was wrongly made into `Othe`, dropping the last character. If I don't pass `-osuf .something`, or have it not have a dot, everything's fine. The trouble is that `-osuf .something` worked fine in GHC <= 7.6. So I believe this is a regression, or at least a very bad error message. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9760> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
