#9775: "Failed to remove" errors during Windows build from hsc2hs -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gintas | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Difficulty: Unknown | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The Windows build over here spews a bunch of errors during the build like the ones below. All of them seem to be related to hsc2hs. The errors do not the build for some reason, so the problem is not critical, but we should look into what's going on here. Note that the errors are indeterministic and the set of files affected varies between builds. Examples: {{{ ghctrace.2/3.log:Failed to remove file libraries/base/dist- install/build/System/CPUTime_hsc_make.exe; error= DeleteFile "libraries/base/dist-install/build/System/CPUTime_hsc_make.exe": permission denied (Access is denied.) ghctrace.2/4.log:Failed to remove file libraries/hpc/dist- boot/build/Trace/Hpc/Reflect_hsc_make.exe; error= DeleteFile "libraries/hpc/dist-boot/build/Trace/Hpc/Reflect_hsc_make.exe": permission denied (Access is denied.) ghctrace.2/4.log:Failed to remove file compiler/stage2/build/Fingerprint_hsc_make.exe; error= DeleteFile "compiler/stage2/build/Fingerprint_hsc_make.exe": permission denied (Access is denied.) ghctrace.3/1.log:Failed to remove file libraries/hpc/dist- boot/build/Trace/Hpc/Reflect_hsc_make.exe; error= DeleteFile "libraries/hpc/dist-boot/build/Trace/Hpc/Reflect_hsc_make.exe": permission denied (Access is denied.) ghctrace.3/4.log:Failed to remove file libraries/old-time/dist- install/build/System/Time_hsc_make.exe; error= DeleteFile "libraries/old- time/dist-install/build/System/Time_hsc_make.exe": permission denied (Access is denied.) ghctrace.3/5.log:Failed to remove file libraries/Win32/dist- install/build/Graphics/Win32/GDI/Pen_hsc_make.exe; error= DeleteFile "libraries/Win32/dist-install/build/Graphics/Win32/GDI/Pen_hsc_make.exe": permission denied (Access is denied.) }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9775> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8532: Hyperbolic arc cosine fails on (-1) :: Complex r. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: leftaroundabout | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Incorrect result Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | at runtime hour) | Test Case: acosh(-1) :: Blocked By: | Complex Double Related Tickets: | Blocking: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When allowing for complex results, the hyperbolic arc cosine is continuously defined on all ℝ. In the {{{(x < (-1))}}} real ray of the complex plane, {{{acosh}}} equals {{{\z -> i * pi + acosh(abs z)}}}, which works fine for almost all arguments. Thus, {{{acosh (-1)}}} should equal {{{i * pi}}}; however due to the implementation as {{{ acosh z = log (z + (z+1) * sqrt ((z-1)/(z+1))) }}} where the denominator in the root becomes zero at {{{z = -1}}}, this comes out as {{{NaN :+ NaN}}}. Could be fixed trivially by adding a special case {{{ acosh ((-1):+0) = 0:+pi }}} to the {{{instance (RealFloat a) => Floating (Complex a)}}} in {{{Data.Complex}}}. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8532> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The branchless tests `<#`, `>#`, `<=#`, and `>=#`, and their wordy cousins, seem to work properly, but `==#` and `eqWord#` don't. If I write {{{#!hs foo x = tagToEnum# ((x <# 3#) `orI#` (x ># 100#) `orI#` (x ==# 12#) `orI#` (x ==# 15#)) }}} I get (in 7.8.3 and in 7.9) {{{#!hs IsDigit.foo :: GHC.Prim.Int# -> GHC.Types.Bool [GblId, Arity=1, Caf=NoCafRefs, Str=DmdType <S,1*U>, Unf=Unf{Src=InlineStable, TopLvl=True, Value=True, ConLike=True, WorkFree=True, Expandable=True, Guidance=ALWAYS_IF(arity=1,unsat_ok=True,boring_ok=False) Tmpl= \ (x3_a2if [Occ=Once!] :: GHC.Prim.Int#) -> case x3_a2if of wild_Xe { __DEFAULT -> GHC.Prim.tagToEnum# @ GHC.Types.Bool (GHC.Prim.orI# (GHC.Prim.<# wild_Xe 3) (GHC.Prim.># wild_Xe 100)); 12 -> GHC.Types.True; 15 -> GHC.Types.True }}] IsDigit.foo = \ (x3_a2if :: GHC.Prim.Int#) -> case x3_a2if of wild_Xe { __DEFAULT -> GHC.Prim.tagToEnum# @ GHC.Types.Bool (GHC.Prim.orI# (GHC.Prim.<# wild_Xe 3) (GHC.Prim.># wild_Xe 100)); 12 -> GHC.Types.True; 15 -> GHC.Types.True }}} and branching assembly to match.

(the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.9.20140908 for x86_64-unknown-linux): No skolem info: o1_a6XS I have not yet attempted to reduce the problem at all. The offending code is the use of fmap here: {{{#!hs proj2 :: forall (c :: o -> o -> *). ProductCategory c => NatTr (c :><: c) c (ProductF c) (Proj2 c c) proj2 = NatTr t where NatTr t = fmap (CompF Proj2 IdentityF) e e :: NatTr (c :><: c) (c :><: c) (Comp ('KProxy :: KProxy o) (Diag c) (ProductF c)) (IdentityF (c :><: c)) e = counit }}} fmap is defined as {{{#!hs fmap :: forall f (a :: o1) (b :: o1).

[GHC] #8317: Optimize tagToEnum# at Core level

#8317: Optimize tagToEnum# at Core level ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | 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: #6135 | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Old comparison primops that returned Bool were implemented by inserting call to `tagToEnum#` in the code generator. This call to `tagToEnum#` was later optimized away by a special case in the code geenrator (see [[GhcFile(compiler/codeGen/StgCmmExpr.hs)]], Note [case on bool])). Now that we have new comparison primops (see #6135) we no longer insert `tagToEnum#` in the code generator - all uses of `tagToEnum#` come from explicit calls in a source program. But we still have that special case in the code generator to optimize away `tagToEnum#`. We should drop that special case in the code generator and handle scrutinizing of `tagToEnum#` at the Core level by: 1. removing call to `tagToEnum#` in the scrutinee 2. adding calls to `dataToTag#` in case branches 3. constant-folding inserted `dataToTag#` Here is an example. This Haskell code: {{{ if tagToEnum# (a ># b) then E1 else E2 }}} will be translated to this Core: {{{ case tagToEnum# (a ># b) of True -> E1 False -> E2 }}} and optimized like this: {{{ case a ># b of dataToTag# True -> E1 dataToTag# False -> E2 }}} ====> {{{ case a ># b of 1 -> E1 0 -> E2 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8317> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
