#8816: Make SPARC registerised again. -----------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: kgardas | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Solaris Architecture: sparc | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -----------------------------------+--------------------------------- It looks like recent GHC switched to unregisterised build on SPARC by default. This is kind of regression with the past GHCs where registerised builds were supported. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8816> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8751: Show parenthesised output of expressions in ghci ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Iceland_jack Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | 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: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Operator fixity can be a source of bugs (even for experienced users!),[#point1 (1)] precedence levels may vary between languages and then there are user-defined operators. Attached is a patch for a ghci command allowing users to quickly parenthesise expressions as a sanity check (and as an alternative to using :info and parsing the result yourself). The command itself is activated with `:paren`: {{{ ghci> :paren 2 + 10 * 4 / 3 2 + ((10 * 4) / 3) ghci> :paren \a b → a == b || b && a == (b == a) || b \ a b -> (a == b) || ((b && (a == (b == a))) || b) ghci> :paren 5 + 1 `mod` 2 5 + (1 `mod` 2) ghci> :paren 5 * 1 `mod` 2 (5 * 1) `mod` 2 }}} A friend of mine also pointed out that this could eventually be integrated into `haskell-mode` where the user could temporarily replace an expression with a parenthesised version or have different colours indicate different levels of logical nesting.

#9131: Experiment with a dedicated solver for Coercible ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is something that I might want to do some time; it should not distract us from working and improving the current design and implementation. But I think it should be explored. Currently `Coercible` appears as a type class, we have instances to explain it, and use the existing solver to solve them. The last part sometimes causes problems: * the order the instances are tried matters, there might be dead ends (#9117) * recursive newtypes are not handled as good as they could be. It would be worth exploring if a dedicated solver for `Coercible` constraints could solve these issues. It could replace the existing `getCoercibleInst`. Given a constraint `Coercible s t` it would solve it completely, do nothing or (and this is not planned out yet) return some sufficient and in some sense primitive constraint that should appear in inferred type signatures etc. Ideally we could still explain `Coercible` in terms of the instances written in the ICFP’14 paper, and simply state „GHC will find a solution using these instances, if there are any.“ instead of „The usual solver is employed, it might run into dead ends (or not, hard to tell).“ When tackling this task, I should do something that I keep postponing (because I don’t like to admit my lack of knowlege about that) but I think is really important: What are the theoretical properties of solving `Coercible` constraints? Is it even decidable? Semi decidable? Are there existing standard algorithms? How does this relate to SMT solving? And why don’t I know these things... -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9131> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8779: Exhaustiveness checks for pattern synonyms

#8779: Exhaustiveness checks for pattern synonyms -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Pattern synonyms are great, as they decouple interface from implementation. Especially if #8581 is also implemented, it should be possible to change a type completely while retaining the existing interface. Exciting! Another missing piece is exhaustiveness checks. Given this pattern {{{ initLast [] = Nothing initLast xs = Just (init xs, last xs) pattern xs ::: x <- (initLast -> Just (xs,x)) }}} we want the compiler to tell the programmer that {{{ f [] = ... f (xs ::: x) = ... }}} is complete, while {{{ g (xs ::: x) = ... }}} is not. With view pattern directly, this is impossible. But the programmer did not write view patterns! So here is what I think might work well, inspired by the new `MINIMAL` pragma: We add a new pragma `COMPLETE_PATTERNS` (any ideas for a shorter name). The syntax is essentially the same as for `MINIMAL`, i.e. a boolean formula, with constructors and pattern synonyms as atoms. In this case. {{{ {-# COMPLETE_PATTERNS [] && (:::) #-} }}} Multiple pragmas are obviously combined with `||`, and there is an implicit `{-# COMPLETE_PATTERNS [] && (:) #-}` listing all real data constructors. When checking for exhaustiveness, this would be done before unfolding view patterns, and for `g` above we get a warning that `[]` is not matched. Again, the implementation is very much analogous to `MINIMAL`. Clearly, a library author can mess up and give wrong `COMPLETE_PATTERNS` pragmas. I think that is ok (like with `MINIMAL`), and generally an improvement. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8779> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
