[GHC] #9688: Improve the interaction between CSE and the join point transformation

#9688: Improve the interaction between CSE and the join point transformation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: CSE | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Runtime Blocked By: | performance bug Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It appears that the join point transformation sometimes interferes with CSE when CSE would be much better. Two examples: === digitToIntMaybe === Suppose we define {{{#!hs isHexDigit :: Char -> Bool isHexDigit c = (fromIntegral (ord c - ord '0')::Word) <= 9 || (fromIntegral (ord c - ord 'a')::Word) <= 5 || (fromIntegral (ord c - ord 'A')::Word) <= 5 digitToInt c | (fromIntegral dec::Word) <= 9 = dec | (fromIntegral hexl::Word) <= 5 = hexl + 10 | (fromIntegral hexu::Word) <= 5 = hexu + 10 | otherwise = error ("Char.digitToInt: not a digit " ++ show c) -- sigh where dec = ord c - ord '0' hexl = ord c - ord 'a' hexu = ord c - ord 'A' -- We could also expand this out in cases manually, but it makes no -- difference as far as I can tell. }}} Suppose we then write a naive `digitToIntMaybe` function: {{{#!hs digitToIntMaybe c | isHexDigit c = Just (digitToInt c) | otherwise = Nothing }}} What I would want this to do is "zip" the nested cases and give Core like this: {{{ $wdigitToIntMaybe $wdigitToIntMaybe = \ ww_s2Ag -> let { x#_a2yy x#_a2yy = -# (ord# ww_s2Ag) 48 } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# x#_a2yy) (__word 9)) of _ { False -> let { x#1_X2z7 x#1_X2z7 = -# (ord# ww_s2Ag) 97 } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# x#1_X2z7) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> let { x#2_X2zh x#2_X2zh = -# (ord# ww_s2Ag) 65 } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# x#2_X2zh) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> Nothing; True -> Just (I# (+# x#2_X2zh 10)) }; True -> Just (I# (+# x#1_X2z7 10)) }; True -> Just (I# x#_a2yy) } digitToIntMaybe digitToIntMaybe = \ w_s2Ad -> case w_s2Ad of _ { C# ww1_s2Ag -> $wdigitToIntMaybe ww1_s2Ag } }}} But instead, the join point transformation triggers, and we get this: {{{ digitToIntMaybe1 digitToIntMaybe1 = \ ww_s2Cp -> error (unpackAppendCString# "Char.digitToInt: not a digit "# ($w$cshowsPrec15 ww_s2Cp ([]))) $wdigitToIntMaybe $wdigitToIntMaybe = \ ww_s2Cp -> let { $j_s2Bc $j_s2Bc = \ _ -> Just (let { a_s2B5 a_s2B5 = int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 48) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# a_s2B5 (__word 9)) of _ { False -> let { a1_s2B7 a1_s2B7 = int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 97) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# a1_s2B7 (__word 5)) of _ { False -> let { a2_s2B9 a2_s2B9 = int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 65) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# a2_s2B9 (__word 5)) of _ { False -> digitToIntMaybe1 ww_s2Cp; True -> I# (+# (word2Int# a2_s2B9) 10) }; True -> I# (+# (word2Int# a1_s2B7) 10) }; True -> I# (word2Int# a_s2B5) }) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 48)) (__word 9)) of _ { False -> case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 97)) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 65)) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> Nothing; True -> $j_s2Bc void# }; True -> $j_s2Bc void# }; True -> $j_s2Bc void# } digitToIntMaybe digitToIntMaybe = \ w_s2Cm -> case w_s2Cm of _ { C# ww1_s2Cp -> $wdigitToIntMaybe ww1_s2Cp } }}} We perform the same three tests twice each, and test for an error condition that obviously can't happen. === `quotRem` and `divMod` === If we define {{{#!hs x `quot` y = fst (x `quotRem` y) x `rem` y = snd (x `quotRem` y) }}} and then write something like {{{#!hs f x y | x `rem` y == 0 = x `quot` y | otherwise = 17 }}} then CSE works some magic and we only calculate `quotRem x y` once. Unfortunately, if we do this: {{{#!hs whatever x y = if x `myRem` y == 0 then (x `myQuot` y) + 14 else x `myQuot` y }}} then the join point transformation fires, collecting the `myQuot x y` expressions in the case branches and preventing CSE from recognizing the much better opportunity to eliminate those calculations altogether. The situation with `divMod` is much worse. The join point transformation applied to the cases defining `divMod` prevents CSE from working magic on it in even simple situations, unless one of the arguments is known, making this definition unusable (the resulting Core is too horrifyingly long to paste here). It would probably be possible to improve the `divMod` situation to something close to the `quotRem` one by making `divMod` `NOINLINE` and adding special `divModLit` rules, but I'd much rather see a general solution. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9688> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The {{{+RTS -S}}} is useful to watch the live memory tick up in realtime, but it leaks without it, and the leak can be seen in process explorer (87Mb to 700Mb over about 30 minutes). While repeatedly writing commands may not be a standard usage of ghci, it is when driven by tools such as ghcid (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghcid) and other IDE-like uses. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14336> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#10869: Option to dump preprocessed source -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: phischu | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Driver | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It would be awesome if GHC had an option `-ddump-preprocessed` that dumps the source code for each module after preprocessing. I am not sure what the current definition of "preprocessing" is but I mean the output of at least the following tools: happy, alex, c2hs, hsc2hs and cpp. Additionally even if a module was not subject to any preprocessing it should be dumped anyway. Use case: I want to parse module files from packages from hackage with `haskell-src-exts` but find it prohibitively difficult to get the preprocessing right. The idea is that after `cabal install` with ghc options `-ddump-preprocessed -ddump-to-file -dumpdir real_modules` you get a complete working set of haskell modules that can be parsed directly without any preprocessing in folder `real_modules`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10869> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
