[GHC] #8060: Undefined symbols when using Template Haskell linked from another object with unexposed modules

#8060: Undefined symbols when using Template Haskell linked from another object with unexposed modules -----------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: tvynr | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: | Type of failure: Compile-time crash Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocking: Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | -----------------------------------+--------------------------------------- I have constructed two Cabal projects named "first" and "second". The "first" project defines three files: Logging.hs (which provides some basic logging functionality) and FirstExample.hs and FirstDependent.hs (the latter of which imports the former). In the cabal file, only Logging and FirstDependent are exposed modules. FirstDependent uses a Template Haskell function "loggingFunctions" which defines logging functions for that module. Using cabal or cabal-dev to build this package works quite nicely. The second project depends on the first project and contains a single file, Second.hs. This file imports Logging but neither of the other two files. It also uses the loggingFunctions routine to generate local logging functions. The presence of the "$(loggingFunctions)" splice in Second.hs makes the problem visible, but the real problem is in the first project. Upon compilation of the "second" project with cabal or cabal- dev, the following error is generated: {{{ cabal-dev -s ../cabal-dev-sandbox --with-cabal-install=cabal configure Resolving dependencies... Configuring second-0.1... cabal-dev -s ../cabal-dev-sandbox --with-cabal-install=cabal build Building second-0.1... Preprocessing library second-0.1...

If the "$(loggingFunctions)" splice is removed from Second.hs, then the project builds (presumably because the logic used by non-Template Haskell projects for linking differs from that of Template Haskell projects). Fortunately, it seems that exposing every module of the "first" project resolves this issue. But please note that the FirstExample.hs and FirstDependent.hs files are completely unrelated to the Second.hs file; the latter does not depend on the former in any way. It seems strange that I can't use Template Haskell across projects without exposing all of my project modules. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8060> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9960: Performance problem with TrieMap

#9960: Performance problem with TrieMap -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Looking at #9805 reminded me. When investigating the performance of #9872 I found a major performance hole in `TrieMap`. Suppose we have a handful H of entries in a `TrieMap`, each with a very large key, size K. If you fold over such a `TrieMap` you'd expect time O(H). That would certainly be true of an association list! But with `TrieMap` we actually have to navigate down a long singleton structure to get to the elements, so it takes time O(K*H). This is pretty bad. In test `T9872` I found that 90% of compile time was spent in `TrieMap` as we repeatedly built, folded, and then rebuilt `TrieMap`s. I fixed that by keeping smaller `TrieMap`s, but the underlying problem remains. The point of a `TrieMap` is that you need to navigate to the point where only one key remains, and then things should be fast. So I think that `TypeMap`, say, should look like {{{ data TypeMap a = EmptyTM | SingletonTM Type a | TM { tm_var :: VarMap a , tm_app :: TypeMap (TypeMap a) , tm_fun :: TypeMap (TypeMap a) , tm_tc_app :: NameEnv (ListMap TypeMap a) , tm_forall :: TypeMap (BndrMap a) , tm_tylit :: TyLitMap a } }}} The `SingletonTM` means that, once you are down to a single (key,value) pair, you stop and just use `SingletonTM`. Tiresomely, because of the deBruijn thing, it'd need to be {{{ ... | SingletonTM (CMEnv, Type) a ... }}} and we'd need an auxiliary function for equality: {{{ eqTypeModuloDeBruijn :: (CMEnv, Type) -> (CEnv, Type) -> Bool }}} But that's not hard. Very similar to the way `RnEnv2` works. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9960> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
