But they don't, failing with parse errors: {{{ {-# LANGUAGE Haskell2010 #-} module Bug where bool = - case b of False -> 0; True -> (-1) }}} {{{ {-# LANGUAGE Haskell2010 #-} instance Num (IO a) where negate = id main = - do putStrLn "hi!" }}} Note the unary `-` signs. I'm not sure whether we should complicate the parser to fix these, but we should document the compliance-failure in the manual. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10855> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

It's a bit clumsy. What we would really like is {{{ deriving instance (forall a. Data => Data (f a)) => Data (Foo f) }}} but we don't have higher order instances yet! So Lennart is manually making two instances. This should work, but he gets {{{ > Main.hs: line 45, column 1: > Multiple declarations of ‘$cr2C’ > Declared at: Main.hs:44:1 > Main.hs:45:1 > Main.hs: line 45, column 1: > Multiple declarations of ‘$tr2D’ > Declared at: Main.hs:44:1 > Main.hs:45:1 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12245> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #12690: Segmentation fault in GHC runtime system under low memory with USE_LARGE_ADDRESS_SPACE

#12690: Segmentation fault in GHC runtime system under low memory with USE_LARGE_ADDRESS_SPACE --------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: pggiarrusso | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: Runtime crash Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------------+---------------------------------- I have here a ~600MB core dump on GHC 8.0.1 x86_64 linux triggered under low memory (1GB RAM total, no swap, trying to build aeson with optimizations), with a stacktrace blaming the GHC runtime system. Based on code review, it appears that when requesting memory from the OS fails, the error is ignored and GHC segfaults as soon as it writes to the newly "allocated" memory. == Diagnosis == My diagnosis is that osCommitMemory calls the potentially failing `my_mmap` but returns void (hence not propagating failures); it should instead probably use `my_mmap_or_barf` or handle the failure anyhow: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/a6111b8cc14a5dc019e2613f6f634dec4eb57a8a/rt… However, while I'm very convinced that's a bug, I'm only mostly confident that's the culprit, since the segfault happens later; I've just looked for bugs on allocation failures in the code ran shortly before the crash. == Raw data == The core dump is on a VM from the reporter of https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/2575, https://github.com/jiakai0419, which graciously gave me access to the VM and bothered reporting in the first place—I'd like to thank her. I'd like to avoid copying the dump here unless strictly needed. == Reproduction == The bug is deterministic on that machine, but it requires a failure in mmap without triggering an OOM, so I'm not 100% sure how easy it is to reproduce but it should be easy on a VM with 1GB RAM and 1 core. Here's the output of `free`: {{{ $ free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1015352 95864 71396 51244 848092 733132 Swap: 0 0 0 }}} Instructions to produce a dump. First, as root: {{{ echo /tmp/core > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern }}} that's needed because otherwise the core file is produced in a temporary folder that stack removes. Then (as non-root, root has privileged access to memory), install stack, and run: {{{ ulimit -c unlimited git clone https://github.com/jiakai0419/snowflake.git stack build --verbose }}} Below is some raw data from the core dump. In short, an initializer for newly allocated data segfaults, and gdb tells that the address it's trying to write (bd->start) to can't be accessed, even though it's lower than mblock_high_watermark so it should have been committed (mmap'ed) by getFreshMBlocks (I don't get getReusableMBlocks in detail, but it also calls `osCommitMemory`, so I guess there's the same invariant). The existence of mblock_high_watermark (beyond other reasons) should confirm this is using USE_LARGE_ADDRESS_SPACE. If this diagnosis is correct, the bug exists since USE_LARGE_ADDRESS_SPACE was introduced in https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/0d1a8d09f452977aadef7897aa12a8d41c7a4af0, so it's a regression in 8.0.1. {{{ (gdb) bt #0 initMBlock (mblock=0x225c00000) at rts/sm/BlockAlloc.c:676 #1 alloc_mega_group (mblocks=mblocks@entry=1) at rts/sm/BlockAlloc.c:328 #2 0x00007fe650438d98 in allocGroup (n=1) at rts/sm/BlockAlloc.c:379 #3 allocGroup (n=1) at rts/sm/BlockAlloc.c:336 #4 0x00007fe65043ed55 in allocBlock_sync () at rts/sm/GCUtils.c:38 #5 0x00007fe65043ef7d in alloc_todo_block (ws=ws@entry=0x13196b0, size=size@entry=3) at rts/sm/GCUtils.c:330 #6 0x00007fe65043f13a in todo_block_full (size=size@entry=3, ws=0x13196b0) at rts/sm/GCUtils.c:292 #7 0x00007fe65041baed in alloc_for_copy (gen_no=<optimized out>, size=3) at rts/sm/Evac.c:81 #8 copy_tag (tag=2, gen_no=<optimized out>, size=3, src=0x21b353868, info=<optimized out>, p=0x225b13f10) at rts/sm/Evac.c:99 #9 evacuate1 (p=p@entry=0x225b13f10) at rts/sm/Evac.c:596 #10 0x00007fe65041d65c in scavenge_block1 (bd=0x225b004c0) at rts/sm/Scav.c:570 #11 0x00007fe6504415dc in scavenge_find_work () at rts/sm/Scav.c:2040 #12 scavenge_loop1 () at rts/sm/Scav.c:2103 #13 0x00007fe65043cee2 in scavenge_until_all_done () at rts/sm/GC.c:968 #14 0x00007fe65043d75a in GarbageCollect (collect_gen=collect_gen@entry=1, do_heap_census=do_heap_census@entry=rtsFalse, gc_type=gc_type@entry=2, cap=cap@entry=0x7fe650669a80 <MainCapability>) at rts/sm/GC.c:403 #15 0x00007fe65042ff81 in scheduleDoGC (force_major=rtsFalse, task=0x13228a0, pcap=<optimized out>) at rts/Schedule.c:1652 #16 scheduleDoGC (pcap=<optimized out>, task=0x13228a0, force_major=rtsFalse) at rts/Schedule.c:1433 #17 0x00007fe650430c1a in schedule (initialCapability=initialCapability@entry=0x7fe650669a80 <MainCapability>, task=task@entry=0x13228a0) at rts/Schedule.c:551 #18 0x00007fe650431cf8 in scheduleWaitThread (tso=0x20000b388, ret=ret@entry=0x0, pcap=pcap@entry=0x7ffc4ee22c08) at rts/Schedule.c:2361 #19 0x00007fe65042c528 in rts_evalLazyIO (cap=cap@entry=0x7ffc4ee22c08, p=p@entry=0x7895c0, ret=ret@entry=0x0) at rts/RtsAPI.c:500 #20 0x00007fe65042e3a7 in hs_main (argc=96, argv=0x7ffc4ee22dc8, main_closure=0x7895c0, rts_config=...) at rts/RtsMain.c:64 #21 0x0000000000428414 in main () (gdb) info locals bd = 0x225c00100 block = 0x225c04000 <Address 0x225c04000 out of bounds> (gdb) print/x mblock_high_watermark $11 = 0x225d00000 (gdb) print bd->start Cannot access memory at address 0x225c00100 (gdb) print *bd Cannot access memory at address 0x225c00100 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12690> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This doesn't seem right to me: I've got `-XDuplicateRecordFields` exactly where the duplicate occurs.

#11138: Kill the terrible LLVM Mangler -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Other Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Since its introduction the LLVM backend has had a mangler which transforms assembler produced by LLVM. In the past this mangler was responsible for shuffling around code to make tables-next-to-code work, but the need for this has past with the resolution of #4213. At this point the only reason it exists is to mangle AVX instructions to 1. rewriting all symbols of type `@function` to `@object` to prevent symbol references from going through the PLT, which would be bad due to tables-next-to-code. 2. On x86_64, rewrite AVX instructions that require alignment to their unaligned counterparts, since the stack is only 16-byte aligned but these instructions require 32-byte alignment. While it's unclear that we will ever be able to discharge (1), it would be nice to investigate whether we can at least do something about (2) (there may even be performance to be gained!). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11138> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
