[GHC] #11174: Traversable can't be derived for datatypes with unboxed arguments

#11174: Traversable can't be derived for datatypes with unboxed arguments -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: RyanGlScott Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHC rejects Unknown/Multiple | valid program Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Unlike `Functor` and `Foldable`, `Traversable` cannot be derived for datatypes that contain arguments with unboxed types. A simple example: {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE DeriveTraversable, MagicHash #-} import GHC.Prim (Int#) data IntHash a = IntHash Int# deriving (Functor, Foldable, Traversable) }}} The generated `Traversable` instance reveals the issue: {{{#!hs instance Traversable IntHash where traverse f (IntHash a1) = fmap IntHash (pure a1) }}} {{{ Couldn't match kind `*' with `#' When matching types a0 :: * Int# :: # Expected type: a0 -> IntHash b Actual type: Int# -> IntHash b In the first argument of `fmap', namely `IntHash' In the expression: fmap IntHash (pure a1) When typechecking the code for `traverse' in a derived instance for `Traversable IntHash': To see the code I am typechecking, use -ddump-deriv }}} We have to avoid calling `pure` on `a1`, since `pure` expects an argument with a `*`-kinded type, not a `#`-kinded one. One way to fix this would be restructuring the derived `traverse` implementation such that unboxed arguments are moved to the function initially lifted with `pure`, and doing nothing with them later. To better articulate what I mean, envision something like this: {{{#!hs data IntHash2 a = IntHash2 Int# a (IntHash2 a) Int# deriving (Functor, Foldable) }}} Then a derived `Traversable` instance that would typecheck would be: {{{#!hs instance Traversable IntHash2 where traverse f (IntHash2 a1 a2 a3 a4) = pure (\x2 x3 -> IntHash2 a1 x2 x3 a4) <*> f a2 <*> traverse f a3 }}} Conceptually, this doesn't sound hard to implement. The tricky part is figuring out how much of the existing `Functor`/`Foldable`/`Traversable` deriving machinery would need to be tweaked to make this work. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11174> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9020: Massive blowup of code size on trivial program ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The test `simplCore/should_compile/simpl015` was leading to massive compile times. This is weird: it looks like: {{{ main = do { return () ; return () ... hundreds more times ... ; return () } }}} It turns out that the cause was over-eager eta-expansion. Each `return ()` gives a top-level PAP thus {{{ lvl17 :: IO () lvl17 = returnIO () }}} But these definitions are then eta-expanded, thus: {{{ lvl17 = ((\eta. returnIO () |> sym g) eta) |> g where g :: State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #) ~ IO () }}} Now in general it makes sense to eta-expand through newtypes (as is done here), because it exposes more lambadas. But it really doesn't make sense to eta-expand a PAP like this. Fortunately the fix is easy: use `exprArity` rather than `manifestArity` in `SimplUtils.tryEtaExpandRhs`. The effect on `simpl015` is dramatic: compiler allocation drops from 6.6G to 812M; and residency drops from 1.8G to 45M. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9020> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
