#12499: Support multiple library import libs -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Runtime | Version: 8.0.1 System (Linker) | Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: | Type of failure: GHC rejects Unknown/Multiple | valid program Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Our implementation of import libraries only support single library import libs. These are by far the most common ones. However it is possible to make multi library import libraries. E.g. one import library pointing to multiple dlls. `binutils` correct supports these and with #5987 GHC will be relying on them to work. It makes sense that we are able to load them in GHCi as well. This will be required for a fully working dynamic GHC on Windows. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12499> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#13719: checkFamInstConsistency dominates compile time -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: niteria | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.3 (Type checker) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Compile-time Unknown/Multiple | performance bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #13092, #13099, | #12191 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I'm looking into compile time issues on our internal code base. `checkFamInstConsistency` takes 50% of all compile time for `:load` in `ghci` for us. I've created a synthetic test case that approximates the issue and in which compiling 300 modules with one small data type each takes 65s total, and `checkFamInstConsistency` is 87% of that and 94.1% of allocations. `checkFamInstConsistency` is run to ensure consistency of a type family associated with Generics, but that's only semi-relevant. To reproduce: {{{ ./gen.sh ./inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 -keep-tmp-files DummyLevel3M100.hs }}} Profile with some relevant cost centres: https://phabricator.haskell.org/P150 The next step is to look into implementing: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13092#comment:14 I also plan to add this test case to the codebase. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13719> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
