This factors out the common `M1` in every case of a `to`/`from` definition so that the typechecker has far fewer coercions to deal with. For a datatype with 300 constructors, this change has been observed to save almost 3 seconds of compilation time. This is one step towards coming up with a solution for #5642.

One way to do that is to run those tests with stage1 compiler, but current test runner doesn't give us a way to do that. We should add tests for Phab:D2334 (and probably for #10382) once this is implemented. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12197> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #10382: Template Haskell quotes should work with stage 1 compiler

#10382: Template Haskell quotes should work with stage 1 compiler -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: 7.12.1 Priority: normal | Version: 7.11 Component: Template | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Haskell | Type of failure: None/Unknown Keywords: | Blocked By: Architecture: | Related Tickets: Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Right now, you must enable the `TemplateHaskell` extension to use quotes, and `TemplateHaskell` is not supported by the stage 1 compiler. But there actually is no good reason why this should be the case: quoting doesn't require any user-written code to be loaded up and run, so it should be doable by the stage 1 compiler. I propose adding a new extension, `Quotation`, which turns on JUST quotation and works with the stage 1 compiler. This will solve len's problem https://github.com/ekmett/lens/issues/496 where they want to rename some syntax using quotation, but don't want break compilation on a stage 1 compiler.

#5218: Add unpackCStringLen# to create Strings from string literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.0.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Runtime | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #5877 #10064 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): Hmm, this seems a bit dodgy. The RULE is not semantics-preserving (deliberately, I know), so if you use `viewCString#` you get a non- deterministic result that depends on whether optimisation is turned on and whether the RULE fired. I suppose the idea is that you hide the non- determinism behind a layer of library code, but still, I'm not keen on having non-deterministic primitives. What's wrong with the approach in #10064 to have string literals of type `(# Int#, Addr# #)`? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5218#comment:38> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
