[GHC] #11004: hsc2hs does not handle single quotes properly

#11004: hsc2hs does not handle single quotes properly -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sergv | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hsc2hs | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The tool gets confused by quotes for promoted constructors (https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/promotion.h… #promotion-syntax). Here's an example: {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-} {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-} data Foo = Foo | Bar data Indexed ix where Indexed :: Indexed 'Foo main :: IO () main = print $ #size int }}} gets translated into {{{#!hs {-# LINE 1 "Test.hsc" #-} {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-} {-# LINE 2 "Test.hsc" #-} {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-} data Foo = Foo | Bar data Indexed ix where Indexed :: Indexed 'Foo main :: IO () main = print $ #size int }}} Then GHC complains about `#size`: {{{ Test.hsc:10:16: parse error on input ‘#’ }}} Judging from the source of utils/hsc2hs/HSCParser.hs, the tool treats single quotes the same way as double quotes. I.e. it looks for balanced, possibly multiline, strings delimited by '. At least, it seems unnecessary to expect newlines in that string-like structure, because character literals cannot contain newlines, AFAIK. It's interesting to note that this problem looks like a bit of an edge case, since highlighting in the ticket seems to be confused as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11004> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

(Eg, Float# and #Double min and max can be provided on any 64bit x86 system pretty easily ) This ticket is to track doing that task. I'll probably do it one of the next two weekends to get back in the GHC hacking groove, or maybe this should be used as a "getting started" ticket for a new contributor? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9251> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I've attached the repro code, build it like this: {{{ $ ghc -O2 Haxl/Core/Monad.hs }}} There are several modules, but the one with the problem is `Haxl/Core/Monad.hs`. In particular `Haxl.Core.Monad.$fApplicativeGenHaxl2`, which contains this fragment: {{{ let { $wa4_s6YQ $wa4_s6YQ = \ w_s6YF _ ww1_s6YM _ _ w1_s6YI -> case GHC.Prim.readMutVar# ipv7_X5Ne w1_s6YI of _ { (# ipv10_X5QO, ipv11_X5QQ #) -> case ipv11_X5QQ of _ { Haxl.Core.Monad.IVarFull a2_a3kK -> case lvl6_r7qi of wild3_00 { }; Haxl.Core.Monad.IVarEmpty dt2_d4Vs -> case GHC.Prim.writeMutVar# ipv7_X5Ne (Haxl.Core.Monad.IVarFull w_s6YF) ipv10_X5QO of s2#_a5OR { __DEFAULT -> case GHC.Prim.readMutVar# dt2_d4Vs s2#_a5OR of _ { (# ipv12_X5R0, ipv13_X5R2 #) -> case GHC.Prim.readMutVar# ww1_s6YM ipv12_X5R0 of _ { (# ipv14_X5SS, ipv15_X5SU #) -> letrec { go_a5ti go_a5ti = \ ds10_a5tj -> case ds10_a5tj of _ { [] -> ipv15_X5SU; : y_a5to ys_a5tp -> GHC.Types.: (y_a5to w_s6YF) (go_a5ti ys_a5tp) }; } in case go_a5ti ipv13_X5R2 of x'_a5P6 { __DEFAULT -> case GHC.Prim.writeMutVar# ww1_s6YM x'_a5P6 ipv14_X5SS of s2#1_a5P7 { __DEFAULT -> (# s2#1_a5P7, Haxl.Core.Monad.cacheRequest6 #) } } } } } } } } in let { a2_s6lH a2_s6lH = \ w_s6YF _ w2_s6YH w3_s6YI -> case w2_s6YH of _ { Haxl.Core.Monad.SchedState ww1_s6YL ww2_s6YM ww3_s6YN ww4_s6YO -> $wa4_s6YQ w_s6YF ww1_s6YL ww2_s6YM ww3_s6YN ww4_s6YO w3_s6YI } } in }}} I want `$wa4` to be inlined at its single occurrence in `a2`. I believe the reason it is not being inlined is that `a2` is a wrapper, but the situation seems silly because the wrapper isn't going away either, so we have a redundant closure being built (this is in my inner loop). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9279> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#10918: Float once-used let binding into a recursive function -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Consider this code {{{#!hs let x = f x0 in let go 10 = x go i = go (i+1) in go (0::Int) }}} Currently, this is pretty much the core that comes out at the end. But what we want to see instead is {{{#!hs let go 10 = let x = f x 0 in x go i = go (i+1) in go (0::Int) }}} In general, we do not want to float a binding into a recursive function, because we would risk doing the allocation and/or evaluation of it multiple times. But in this case, we can see that it is going to be used at most once, so it is safe to do so. Even more: In the slightly less contrived examples that I was looking at, the call to `x` was happening in the a less likely code path, so this way we’d avoid doing the allocation in most cases, a clear win. It might be enough to simply make `CallArity` (or rather the cardinality analysis done by call arity) tell the rest of the compiler that it found that `x` is called at most once, and hopefully the simplifier knows what to make of that information. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10918> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
