#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

#9661: Branchless ==# is compiled to branchy code -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Runtime Blocked By: | performance bug Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This started as a comment on #6135, but Jan Stolarek requested that I file a separate report. 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. Jan Stolarek indicates this is probably a problem with constant folding. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9661> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

It does not export, and therefore does not document, the `Applicative` class. This is all pretty weird. Since `Functor` is in the prelude (and probably most/all alternate preludes), is there actually a reason to export it from `Control.Monad`? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10328> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

(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
