In most cases I don't care about any of these so it would be easier if there was some way to stop them being printed or being generated in the first place. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13923> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #13128: Refactor AvailInfo to be more sensible

#13128: Refactor AvailInfo to be more sensible -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: mpickering Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- `AvailInfo` has been the bane of my life for the last 12 months and I want to tame it. There are two main problems with it. 1. There is this horrible invariant where if the parent is also exported then it is the first element of the list of children. 2. The set of children and field labels are represented as lists which means many expensive calls to functions from `ListSetOps`. 1 Is easy enough to solve by adding a flag which says whether the parent is exported or not. My naive attempt to solve the second problem was to replace the list by a `NameSet`. At the interface file boundary, the `NameSet` is converted into a list using `nameSetElemsStable` to maintain determinism and only pay the cost of using this expensive function once. This ran into problems in `RnModIface` where there are several functions which map over the list of children. NameSets don't support mapping and so this is difficult to implement in a satisfactory way. The next plan of attack is to distinguish between `IfaceAvailInfo` and `AvailInfo`. The former will use the old representation (lists) in order to maintain determinism but the latter will use sets. Distinguishing the two modes is useful conceptually and practically. The data type is used in quite a few different ways in lots of places which makes writing a nice interface hard. This ticket is to record my trail in case I don't make it to the end. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13128> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #14152: Float exit paths out of recursive functions

#14152: Float exit paths out of recursive functions -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #14137 #10918 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is a spin off of a discussion from #14137. == The problem == We generally avoid inlining or floating a binding into a recursive function, because we do not want to duplicat work/allocations. But sometimes the binding is only used inside the recursive function on the “exit path”. In which case it would be good to inline. Example: {{{#!hs let x = f x0 in let go 10 = h x go i = go (i+1) in go (0::Int) + 100 }}} It would be beneficial to inline `x`. The problem is that it is not very obvious that this occurence of `x` is ok for inlining. In particular, it is not syntactically visible. == Proposed solution == If we apply loopification (#14068), this would turn into {{{#!hs let x = f x0 in let go n = joinrec jgo 10 = h x jgo i = call jgo (i+1) in call jgo n in go (0::Int) + 100 }}} I’d like to call this ''first joinrec normal form'', defined as “every recursive function where all recursive calls are tail-recursive is a recursive join point”. This ticket proposes to transform this even further and ''float out all case alternatives that do not mention `jgo` as non-recursive join- points'', as so: {{{#!hs let x = f x0 in let go n = join jexit = h x joinrec jgo 10 = call jexit jgo i = call jgo (i+1) in call jgo n in go (0::Int) + 100 }}} I’d like to call this ''second `joinrec` normal form'', defined as “in first `joinrec` normal form, and all subexpressions of a recursive join point `j` that are in tail-call position and do not mention `j` are join calls”. If the floated expression has free variables that are bound inside the `joinrec`, they turn into parameters of the newly created joinpoint. At this point, GHC can tell that `go` is called at most once, and will therefore happily inline `x` into the right hand side of `jexit. == Alternative solutions == Ticket #10918 uses Call Arity results to learn that `x` is one-Shot, and inline it even in the original code. This works, but the problem is that float-out will undo this. See [ticket:10918#comment:5]. == Limitation === It only works for recursive functions that are join points, or can be turned into join points by loopification (#14068). It does not work forexample for {{{#!hs let x = f x0 let go 0 = h x go n = (go (n-1) + 1 in go 10 }}} although it would be equally desirable to float `h x` out of `go` so that `x` can be inlined. == Preservation == A remaining tricky point is that we need to stop one of these carefully- constructed non-recursive join points being inlined into a recursive join point, even if it is invoked at just one place. That should not be hard. And in a final run of the simplifer (or in CorePrep) we could switch off that restriction and let it inline. (Ticket #14137 is about inlining ''more'' join points into recursive join points, so it is the antithesis to the present ticket.) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14152> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I already hacked together a [https://github.com/cocreature/ghc/tree/adopt- pragma prototype] and I’m willing to clean that up and submit a diff if other people like this. This does change the surface language but disabling a warning seem too small of an effect for the ghc proposals process (I’m happy to make a proposal if you disagree). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13841> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#12469: Memory fence on writeIORef missing on ARM ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rrnewton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: memory model | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: arm | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The memory model question has been debated now and again. his thread from ten years back (https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-prime/2006-April/001237.html) lays out the basic situation with thunk update, writeIORef, and memory fences. But we recently began experimenting with GHC on ARM platforms, and it seems to lack a memory fence that the participants in the cited thread expect it to have. Here's an attempt to construct a program which writes fields of a data structure, and then writes the pointer to that structure to an IORef, without the proper fence inbetween: ```Haskell import Data.IORef import Control.Concurrent data Foo = Foo Int deriving Show {-# NOINLINE mkfoo #-} mkfoo x = Foo x {-# NOINLINE dowrite #-} dowrite r n = writeIORef r $! mkfoo n main = do r <- newIORef (Foo 3) forkIO (dowrite r 4) x <- readIORef r print x ``` Here's the relevant bits of the CMM that results when compiled on an ARM 64 machine: ```C mkfoo_rn1_entry() // [] { [] } {offset c40i: P64[MainCapability+872] = P64[MainCapability+872] + 16; if (P64[MainCapability+872] > I64[MainCapability+880]) goto c40m; else goto c40l; c40m: I64[MainCapability+928] = 16; P64[MainCapability+24] = mkfoo_rn1_closure; call (I64[MainCapability+16])(R1) args: 16, res: 0, upd: 8; c40l: I64[P64[MainCapability+872] - 8] = Foo_con_info; P64[P64[MainCapability+872]] = P64[I64[MainCapability+856]]; P64[MainCapability+24] = P64[MainCapability+872] - 7; I64[MainCapability+856] = I64[MainCapability+856] + 8; call (I64[P64[I64[MainCapability+856]]])(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; } } ``` ```C dowrite_entry() // [] { [] } {offset c44j: call a_r3Dy_entry() args: 24, res: 0, upd: 8; } } a_r3Dy_entry() // [R1] { [] } {offset c41D: if (I64[MainCapability+856] - 16 < I64[MainCapability+864]) goto c41H; else goto c41I; c41H: P64[MainCapability+24] = a_r3Dy_closure; call (I64[MainCapability+16])(R1) args: 24, res: 0, upd: 8; c41I: I64[I64[MainCapability+856] - 8] = block_c41B_info; P64[I64[MainCapability+856] - 16] = P64[I64[MainCapability+856] + 8]; I64[MainCapability+856] = I64[MainCapability+856] - 16; call mkfoo_rn1_entry() args: 16, res: 8, upd: 8; } } block_c41B_entry() // [R1] { [] } {offset c41B: _s3Ep::P64 = P64[I64[MainCapability+856] + 8]; I64[I64[MainCapability+856] + 8] = block_c41G_info; _s3Es::P64 = P64[MainCapability+24]; P64[MainCapability+24] = _s3Ep::P64; P64[I64[MainCapability+856] + 16] = _s3Es::P64; I64[MainCapability+856] = I64[MainCapability+856] + 8; if (P64[MainCapability+24] & 7 != 0) goto u41S; else goto c41K; u41S: call block_c41G_entry(R1) args: 0, res: 0, upd: 0; c41K: call (I64[I64[P64[MainCapability+24]]])(R1) args: 8, res: 8, upd: 8; } } block_c41G_entry() // [R1] { [] } {offset c41G: _s3Ev::P64 = P64[P64[MainCapability+24] + 7]; P64[_s3Ev::P64 + 8] = P64[I64[MainCapability+856] + 8]; call "ccall" arg hints: [PtrHint, PtrHint] result hints: [] dirty_MUT_VAR(MainCapability+24, _s3Ev::P64); P64[MainCapability+24] = ()_closure+1; I64[MainCapability+856] = I64[MainCapability+856] + 16; call (I64[P64[I64[MainCapability+856]]])(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; } } ``` The fence should happen before the write of the pointer into the IORef. I can't find the fence, and can't find a codepath in the compiler that would insert it (i.e. with MO_WriteBarrier). `dirty_MUT_VAR` is actually too late to perform the fence, but it doesn't either: ```C void dirty_MUT_VAR(StgRegTable *reg, StgClosure *p) { Capability *cap = regTableToCapability(reg); if (p->header.info == &stg_MUT_VAR_CLEAN_info) { p->header.info = &stg_MUT_VAR_DIRTY_info; recordClosureMutated(cap,p); } } ``` (Neither does `recordClosureMutated`.) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12469> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #13477: Turn cIntegerLibraryType into a dynflag

#13477: Turn cIntegerLibraryType into a dynflag -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 8.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently, at configure time we tell GHC whether integers are built using `integer-gmp` or `integer-simple`, and this gets baked in via the global constant `cIntegerLibraryType`. This is all fine for normal use of GHC (the program), but users of ghc (the library) might want to have more leeway here. A good solution seems to be turn this into a dynflag setting, so that users of the GHC API can adjust that as fit. From a cursory glance at the code, this does not seem to be a big problem. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13477> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
