#9854: Literal overflow check is too aggressive -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The literal overflow check is too aggressive. Sometimes you want to give a literal as a hexadecimal value that does fit inside e.g. an `Int`, like so: {{{ Prelude> 0xdc36d1615b7400a4 :: Int <interactive>:2:1: Warning: Literal 15868100553162883236 is out of the Int range -9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807 -2578643520546668380 }}} However the compiler complains because of the wrap-around. I feel this is common enough and practice (and perfectly well-defined) that the compiler shouldn't warn. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9854> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #12482: Infinite compilation time when using wrongly ordered constraints

#12482: Infinite compilation time when using wrongly ordered constraints -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: danilo2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Compile-time Unknown/Multiple | performance bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Hello guys! I've seen today a very strange bug in GHC 8. Namely I've got an instance: {{{ instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} (PrimMonad m, g ~ HMGraph s rels, (g ^. t) ~ Hetero2 (MAutoVector s), s ~ PrimState m, HasProperty2' t g) => DynamicM t (HMGraph s rels) m a where addM el = nested (prop2' @t . wrapped') $ (swap ∘ fmap Ptr) <∘> ixed Cont.addM (unsafeCoerce el) }}} and I'm using it indirectly in Main.hs. It compiles fast and works fine. The problem is that when I change the above constraint to: {{{ (PrimMonad m, HasProperty2' t g, g ~ HMGraph s rels, (g ^. t) ~ Hetero2 (MAutoVector s), s ~ PrimState m) }}} Which is basically the same but with different order, the file with this constraint compiles fast and fine, but Main.hs compiles infinite amount of time (I've killed it after 10 minutes). The problem is reproducible, but it is hard right now to make minimal example out of it (we are going to a conference with a product release and we cannot track it right now). I post it here because maybe the bug is known, if not, after the release I'll try to provide more info. If you've got any questions I'd love to assist. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12482> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #12873: hWaitForInput with socket as handle excepts on windows

#12873: hWaitForInput with socket as handle excepts on windows --------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: bwurk | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: Runtime crash Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------------+---------------------------------- If I create a socket wrapped in a Handle (either by directly creating a handle with connectTo, or by creating a socket and wrapping it), hWaitForInput and hReady always give an exception with that handle. It excepts directly when calling, it does not wait until the given timeout of hWaitForInput has expired. The following code exposes the bug (requiring that a server-socket is listening on port 7892): {{{#!hs module SockDebug where import System.IO import Network main = do sock <- connectTo "localhost" (Service $ show 7892) hWaitForInput sock 5000 }}} Excepts with "hWaitForInput: invalid argument (Invalid argument)" Happens both on windows 10 and windows 7. This is the same error as in ticket 1198 so I'd guess that the bug is in cbits/inputReady.c as well, but I'm not an expert. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12873> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9441: Merge identical top-level expressions following simplification when it is safe to do so

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

I don't see why we can't have an unlifted member of a class. (As @oerjan points out in comment:25:ticket:12708, we can't have a ''levity-polymorphic'' class member, but this is solidly levity- monomorphic.) I'm happy to lift this restriction in ongoing work in this area, but I wanted to double-check before doing so. For the record, the same error occurs even when the class has more than one member, so it's not the no-unlifted-newtypes restriction. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12980> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9214: UNPACK support for sum types ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mojojojo | Owner: Type: feature request | 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: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently the pragma only supports single-constructor types. 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
