[GHC] #10064: Add support for "foo"## literals to MagicHash

#10064: Add support for "foo"## literals to MagicHash -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: chadaustin | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.4 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I'm working on a high-performance library for building up buffers of data. Appending ByteStrings works pretty well, but, for bytestring literals, it's faster to avoid the CAF (and it's associated tag check + indirect jump) entirely and append a zero-terminate MagicHash string literal via Addr#. Then I discovered that it's 30% faster if you can avoid the strlen with an explicit length. See this benchmark: https://github.com/chadaustin /buffer- builder/blob/ac662962d6d3c21f206ab8e8121323b9f18677fa/bench/Bench.hs#L42 That API is not very pleasant, of course. :) Thus, here is a feature request: It would be great if "foo"## produced (# Int#, Addr# #), where the Int# is the length of the buffer in bytes. The compiler could enforce that the literal only contains 8-bit values. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10064> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9453: The example for GHC Generics is kinda broken

#9453: The example for GHC Generics is kinda broken -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Feuerbach | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- From http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/2douzn/problem_with_popular_ghcgen…: The popular GHC.Generics serialization example at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/generic- programming.html#idp25226064 illustrates how to serialize a sum datatype (a :+: b), with a 0 bit representing a and a 1 bit representing b. However, consider a :+: b :+: c. If the compiler treats this as (a :+: b) :+: c, then a is 00, b is 01, c is 1. If it's a :+: (b :+: c), then a is 0, b is 10, c is 11. The compiler's decision, even though (as I understand it) consistent for any given compile, could differ later. The manual, at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/generic- deriving-1.6.3/docs/Generics-Deriving-Base.html#g:9 states not to depend on the ordering, which the example does. I think this is a valid concern, and the manual should be at least updated to discuss this problem. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9453> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#11375: Type aliases twice as slow to compile as closed type families. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: danilo2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 (Type checker) | Keywords: | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: aarch64 | Type of failure: Compile-time | performance bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Hello guys! This bug is awkard at last to me. So I notiiced today, that using type aliases in my code takes twice as long to copile than using closed type families with just single member. So to be most precise - when I replace the following line: {{{ type XQ1 m a = Targets (Match m a) }}} with {{{ type family XQ1 m a where XQ1 m a = Targets (Match m a) }}} the compilation time drops from 15s to 7s (this type alias is heavily used across the application). I think it could be somehow related to the famous #8095 bug, but I can of course be wrong here. Unfortunetally the codebase is pretty big and its not so easy to make a minimal example, but I'll try to work on it during the upcoming weekend (please notify me if that would not be necessary).

(There's also one much less obvious double store to another location, which will probably be much harder to address: the store to `P64[(_c2nT::I64 + 24) + (_s2cy::I64 << 3)]` overwrites a word previous written by the `MO_Memcpy`.
