#9441: Merge identical top-level expressions following simplification when it is safe to do so -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- If I redefine {{{#!hs {-# INLINE reverse #-} reverse :: [a] -> [a] reverse xs = build $ \c n -> foldl (\a x -> x `c` a) n xs }}} and then write a couple test cases: {{{#!hs appRev xs ys = xs ++ reverse ys revAppRev xs ys = reverse xs ++ reverse ys }}} I end up getting some rather annoying code duplication (lots of stuff omitted from the following): {{{#!hs Rec { poly_go_r2v3 poly_go_r2v3 = \ @ a_a2nF ds_a2zc eta_Xl -> case ds_a2zc of _ { [] -> eta_Xl; : y_a2zh ys_a2zi -> poly_go_r2v3 ys_a2zi (: y_a2zh eta_Xl) } end Rec } reverse reverse = \ @ a_a2nF eta_B1 -> poly_go_r2v3 eta_B1 ([]) Rec { revAppRev2 revAppRev2 = \ @ a_a2y7 ds_a2zc eta_B1 -> case ds_a2zc of _ { [] -> eta_B1; : y_a2zh ys_a2zi -> revAppRev2 ys_a2zi (: y_a2zh eta_B1) } end Rec } Rec { revAppRev1 revAppRev1 = \ @ a_a2y7 ds_a2zc eta_B1 -> case ds_a2zc of _ { [] -> eta_B1; : y_a2zh ys_a2zi -> revAppRev1 ys_a2zi (: y_a2zh eta_B1) } end Rec } Rec { appRev1 appRev1 = \ @ a_a2xE ds_a2zc eta_B1 -> case ds_a2zc of _ { [] -> eta_B1; : y_a2zh ys_a2zi -> appRev1 ys_a2zi (: y_a2zh eta_B1) } end Rec } }}} The `reverse` function was inlined three times. In each case, there was no fusion, so `build` was inlined and the resulting copy of the `reverse` worker lifted to the top level. It would seem to me that once simplification is complete, it should be safe to merge all these copies into one. They are all `Rec {\ ... -> ...}` forms, so I don't think this has any potential to introduce undesirable sharing. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9441> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8944: Warn instead of stopping on misplaced Haddock comments -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Fuuzetsu | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Parser) | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Given a simple module like {{{ module H where data F = F () -- ^ Comment for first type argument () }}} and trying to run Haddock on it, we'll get back {{{ /tmp/H.hs:4:12: parse error on input ‘(’ }}} The error message is rather sub-par in this scenario. It'd be great if we could instead print a warning saying that a Haddock comment is unexpected in that position and then continue on parsing. Best case scenario would be a more informative message such as “Documenting each constructor argument is not supported” but that might be quite a bit harder. Filing on GHC Trac as it's the parser that needs changing I believe. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8944> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

So in the following example it will simply be ignored: {{{ data A = A1 Char | A2 {-# UNPACK #-} !B data B = B1 Int | B2 Bool }}} However the problem seems to be easily solvable by denormalizing the type {{{A}}} to something like the following during unpacking: {{{ data A = A1 Char | A2_1 Int | -- from B1 A2_2 Bool -- from B2 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9214> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9334: Implement "instance chains"

#9334: Implement "instance chains" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: diatchki | Owner: diatchki Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 7.9 checker) | Differential Revisions: Keywords: | Architecture: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It would be useful to implement a version of "instance chains" [1] in GHC, which would eliminate the need for OVERLAPPING_INSTANCES in most (all practcial?) programs. The idea is that programmers can explicitly group and order instances into an "instance chain". For example: {{{ instance (Monad m) => StateM (StateT s m) s where ... else (MonadTrans t, StateM m s) => StateM (t m) s where ... }}} When GHC searches for instances, the instances in a chain are considered together and in order, starting with the first one: 1. If the goal matches the current instance's head, then this instance is selected and the rest are ignored, as if they were not there; 2. If the goal does not match the current instance's head, AND it does not unify with the current instance's head, then we skip the instance and proceed to the next member of the chain; 3. If the goal does not match the current instance's head, but it does unify with it, then we cannot use this chain to solve the goal. In summary: earlier instances in a chain "hide" later instances, and later instances can be reached only if we are sure that none of the previous instance will match.
