#8953: Reifying poly-kinded type families misses kind annotations ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Consider the following two modules: {{{ {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds, PolyKinds, TypeFamilies #-} module A where type family Poly (a :: k) :: * type instance Poly (x :: Bool) = Int type instance Poly (x :: Maybe k) = Double }}} {{{ {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} module B where import Language.Haskell.TH import A $( do info <- reify ''Poly runIO $ putStrLn $ pprint info return [] ) }}} Compiling with HEAD yields this output: {{{ type family A.Poly (a_0 :: k_1) :: * type instance A.Poly x_2 = GHC.Types.Double type instance A.Poly x_3 = GHC.Types.Int }}} The problem is that the type patterns in the reified instances are just plain variables, without their kind annotations. This omission makes the instance declarations unfaithful to the original meaning. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8953> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8925: :print and :sprint sometimes fully evaluates strings ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: soapie | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Other Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Not too confident in my terminology but `:sprint`ing a string that has been evaluated down to its spine seems to fully evaluate the string: {{{ Prelude> let a = map (Debug.Trace.trace "!!!") "abc" Prelude> a `seq` () () Prelude> :sprint a a = _ : _ -- looks fine Prelude> length a 3 Prelude> :sprint a a = "!!! -- strange! a!!! b!!! c" }}} What I expect to see is `a = [_,_,_]`. `:print` behaves similarly. Since neither `:print` nor `:sprint` is supposed to force any evaluation this seems like a bug. At least it can make debugging quite confusing if you're not aware of it! -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8925> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8971: Native Code Generator 7.8.1 RC2 is not as optimized as 7.6.3...

#8971: Native Code Generator 7.8.1 RC2 is not as optimized as 7.6.3... ------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: GordonBGood | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: Runtime performance bug Architecture: | Test Case: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | ------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- The output assembly code is not as optimized for the Windows 32-bit version 7.8.1 RC2 compiler as the Windows 7.6.3 compiler (32-bit) when the option switches are exactly the same although it may not be limited to only the Windows platform; this has a negative impact on execution time for tight loops of about a factor of two times slower. The following code will reproduce the problem: {{{#!haskell -- GHC_NCG_OptimizationBug.hs -- it seems the Haskell GHC 7.8.1 NCG Native Code Generator (NCG) doesn't -- optimize as well for (at least) the x86 target as version 7.6.3 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -O3 -rtsopts -v -dcore-lint -ddump-asm -ddump-to-file -dumpdir . #-} -- or O2 import Data.Bits import Control.Monad.ST (runST,ST(..)) import Data.Array.Base -- Uses a very simple Sieve of Eratosthenes to 2 ^ 18 to prove it. accNumPrimes :: Int -> Int accNumPrimes acc = acc `seq` runST $ do let bfSz = (256 * 1024 - 3) `div` 2 bfLmtWrds = (bfSz + 1) `div` 32 bufw <- newArray (0, bfLmtWrds) (-1) :: ST s (STUArray s Int Int) -- to clear the last "uneven" bit(s) unsafeWrite bufw bfLmtWrds (complement ((-2) `shiftL` (bfSz .&. 31))) bufb <- (castSTUArray :: STUArray s Int Int -> ST s (STUArray s Int Bool)) bufw let cullp i = let p = i + i + 3 in let s = (p * p - 3) `div` 2 in if s > bfSz then let count i sm = do sm `seq` if i > bfLmtWrds then return (acc + sm) else do wd <- unsafeRead bufw i count (i + 1) (sm + (popCount wd)) in count 0 1 -- use '1' for the '2' prime not in the array else do v <- unsafeRead bufb i if v then let cull j = do -- very tight inner loop if j > bfSz then cullp (i + 1) else do unsafeWrite bufb j False cull (j + p) in cull s else cullp (i + 1) cullp 0 main = -- run the program a number of times to get a reasonable time... let numloops = 2000 in let loop n acc = acc `seq` if n <= 0 then acc else loop (n - 1) (accNumPrimes acc) in print $ loop numloops 0 }}} The above code takes almost twice as long to run when compiled under 7.8.1 RC2 for Windows (32-bit) as it does for the version 7.6.3 compiler (both 32-bit compilers). The -ddump-simpl Core dump is almost identical between the two, which is also evidenced by that using the -fllvm LLVM compiler back end switch for each results in code that runs at about the same speed for each compiler run (which would use the same Core output as used for NCG, right?).

This bug was tested under Windows, but likely applies to other platforms, at least for 32-bit versions but also possibly to others. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8971> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The two files are Foo.hs (http://lpaste.net/98464) and Main.hs (http://lpaste.net/98342) There seem to be two problems: 1. The active `SPECIALIZE` pragma should be applied, but isn't. This can be seen by comparing the core and runtimes of `fcTest` (slow) vs `vtTest` (fast). I need this version of the pragma in my real code as the phantom type `m` is reified, so I need to specialize the vector code without specifying the phantom type. 2. I can get `fcTest` to run fast if I use the commented-out `SPECIALIZE` pragma instead. However, that pragma seems very straightforward to me (all types are concrete). The docs indicate that GHC should automatically specialize in most cases, why does it not specialize to the commented-out signature automatically?

#8224: Excessive system time -- new IO manager problem? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rrnewton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.7 Keywords: IO Manager, | Operating System: Linux System Time | Type of failure: Runtime Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | performance bug Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is an issue that came to light when testing the patches on #910. You can see some of the numbers there. Basically, recent GHC HEAD builds, running a large number of threads blocked on MVars will result in burning a lot of system time. The attached file provides a mediocre reproducer. With it, you can see that building with HEAD as of Aug 31st and running with `-RTS -N32` will result in around 200ms system time, whereas GHC 7.6.3 spends about 30ms in system time. This shows the disparity, but the result is not that egregious. A more noticeable example is on ticket #910, where when running on 31 threads, there is an 8 minutes of system time for 17 minutes of user time, and yet at one thread that system time drops to under two seconds! {{{ 1 thread: real 1m20.028s user 1m17.921s sys 0m1.768s 31 threads: real 1m27.445s user 17m0.314s sys 8m0.175s }}} It needs to be determined whether this system time is a result of the parallel compilation patches on #910, or whether it is a new problem with the runtime system, and in particular with the parallel IO manager. I am inclined to believe that compiling in parallel involves extra IO (repeatedly reading interface files?), but not eight minutes of it!! -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8224> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
