The offender seems to be the assumption in `fromRational`: `fromRational r = withResolution (\res -> MkFixed (floor (r * (toRational res))))` Uses `floor` assuming that the underlying floating point value is stored purely and not as 0.999999 or similar -- switching it to `round` fixes this issue. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9936> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Consider {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-} {-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall -Woverlapping-patterns #-} module T where class C a where c :: a -> a instance Int ~ Bool => C Int where c = id }}} yields {{{ T.hs:10:3: warning: [-Woverlapping-patterns] Pattern match is redundant In an equation for ‘c’: c = ... }}} which I suppose makes _some_ amount of sense but is highly confusing nonetheless :) Now in 8.2 I don't get this warning, but in fact I don't get any warning at all, which I'm not entirely sure is better. In the real code obviously the superclass constraint was far more complicated and it was nice of ghc to warn me (albeit in a roundabout way) that it was unsatisfiable. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13766> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

One can use a type `Choice "block"` with values `Do #block` and `Don't #block` by using `OverloadedLabels`. However, in patterns this syntax is forbidden. {{{ case block of Do #block -> ... Don't #block -> ... }}} It would be nice if overloaded labels desugared to something sensible in patterns, perhaps {{{ case block of Do ((==) (fromLabel (proxy# :: Proxy# "foo")) -> True) -> ... Don't ((==) (fromLabel (proxy# :: Proxy# "foo")) -> True) -> ... }}} `OverloadedLists` and `OverloadedStrings` could benefit from a similar solution. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13116> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #12736: Calling a complex Haskell function (obtained via FFI wrapper function) from MSVC 64-bit C code (passed in as FunPtr) can leave SSE2 registers in the XMM6-XMM15 range modified

#12736: Calling a complex Haskell function (obtained via FFI wrapper function) from MSVC 64-bit C code (passed in as FunPtr) can leave SSE2 registers in the XMM6-XMM15 range modified -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bavism | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 (FFI) | Keywords: | Operating System: Windows ffi,registers,sse2,clobber,xmm | Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Incorrect result (amd64) | at runtime Test Case: | Blocked By: https://github.com/bavis-m/raycast | Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- According to the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9z1stfyw.aspx MSDN], in the Microsoft x64 architecture function calls must preserve the SSE2 registers in the range XMM6-XMM15. The Haskell FFI can produce a function pointer via dynamic wrapper that, when called from MSVC x64 C code, does not preserve these registers, causing further floating-point operations in the C code to fail. I can reproduce this error in [https://github.com/bavis-m/raycast this project], which is a DOOM-style raycasting engine written in Haskell, that imports a C DLL with glue for rendering and window management. The Haskell executable generates a FunPtr to a frame update function using the dynamic import mechanism, and passes this to a long-lived C function that runs the update loop. Any time this update function is called from the C loop, subsequent floating point operations produce incorrect results (in this case, the next operations compute a view matrix for the OpenGL window). The output on every frame showing the view matrix should be: {{{ viewM: 0.003125 0.000000 0.000000 -1.000000 0.000000 0.004167 0.000000 -1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 }}} Running the raycaster with the Release version of the DLL causes the value of this matrix to be corrupted. There is a patch provided (stub.patch in the root folder) that turns the Haskell update function into an empty stub. This causes the program to work. When stepping through the assembly code with this patch applied, I can see in the function prologue where the XMM registers are saved. Without the patch, these registers are not saved. Running the Debug version does not show this error; the register allocation must be different. I have been attempting to create a much simpler test case to reveal this code-generation issue, however it has been difficult. Even seemingly trivial changes can cause the bug to not show up, it is clearly dependent on the register allocation used internally to produce the assembly code. Instructions for building the project are in the readme.
