[GHC] #10431: EqualityConstraints extension?

#10431: EqualityConstraints extension? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: adamgundry | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: 7.12.1 Priority: normal | Version: 7.11 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple (Type checker) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Keywords: | Blocked By: Architecture: | Related Tickets: Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- At the moment, writing an equality constraint in a type requires at least one of the `GADTs` or `TypeFamilies` extensions. However, each of these has other effects. Could we have an `EqualityConstraints` extension to permit equality constraints in types, but neither GADTs nor type families? Presumably this extension should imply `MonoLocalBinds`. The `GADTs` extension could then become precisely the conjunction of `GADTSyntax`, `EqualityConstraints` and `ExistentialQuantification`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10431> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9557: Deriving instances is slow -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Feuerbach | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Let's take [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell-suite/haskell-src- exts/8e0153d33b66add96fd5606614ce7938d2029510/src/Language/Haskell/Exts/Annotated/Syntax.hs this file] (from haskell-src-exts) and build it with -O0. On my machine it takes 55s. If we remove deriving of all classes except Functor (which is the only one used by the module itself), the time will drop down to 4s. Different classes vary in their compile-time cost, but there's no single culprit. Among the costly ones are Generic, Data, Show, Ord. haskell-src-exts users are very annoyed by its long compile time, about 10 minutes, especially because we don't compile with -O0 by default. It would be nice to get this fixed. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9557> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Coming from an imperative background, red means never executed and green means executed at least once. Here, green means always true, red means always false, yellow means never executed. Adding a one-line legend at the top of the output file(s) describing the colours would help a lot. Suggesting `never executed` `always true` and `always false` on a single line at the top with the same yellow, green and red background as the respective highlighted code would have. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11799> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
