#13894: isByteArrayPinned# should consider BF_LARGE -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: winter | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- First of all, i want to make sure `isByteArrayPinned#` is intended to let user know if a given 'ByteArray#/MutableByteArray#' is movable during safe FFI call, isn't it? If that is the case, then the code for `stg_isByteArrayPinnedzh` is not enough, since not only bytes marked with `BF_PINNED` flag is not movable, but also the bytes which is marked with `BF_LARGE`. (I read the gc code and i'm confident this holds, but if it's not, please correct me). Currently i'm using a FFI trick[https://github.com/winterland1989/stdio/blob/master/cbits/bytes.c#L33] to get `isByteArrayPinned#` on older GHCs, i want to make sure if `BF_LARGE` works. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13894> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The problem is caused by a tab appearing to the user to line up `x` with `y` but actually placing `y` in the wrong column. The user typically will scratch their head and then post a question on StackOverflow. There they'll be told to use `-fwarn-tabs`, but ''that option won't help'' (and it's probably already on) because GHC will exit with a parse error before it gets around to giving the warning. I suspect the solution is probably to emit the tab warning in the lexer, but one of the parsing gurus will probably know better. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12610> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #13906: ApplicativeDo doesn't handle existentials as well as it could

#13906: ApplicativeDo doesn't handle existentials as well as it could -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: ApplicativeDo | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHC rejects Unknown/Multiple | valid program Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- `ApplicativeDo` doesn't work nicely with existentials or GADTs. This was first considered in #13242, but I think it's worth reconsidering in light of #13875. In particular, we no longer need to think specially about whether a particular pattern match reveals evidence, as any pattern match that does so must necessarily be strict. Simon Marlow explains (in revised, I-think-unmerged, documentation) that {{{#!hs data T where A :: forall a . Eq a => a -> T test = do A x <- undefined _ <- return 'a' _ <- return 'b' return (x == x) }}} will not typecheck because it is first rearranged to {{{#!hs test = (\x _ -> x == x) <$> do A x <- undefined; _ <- return 'a'; return x <*> return 'b' }}} This is weird! The more human-obvious rearrangement would work just fine: {{{#!hs test = do A x <- undefined (\_ _ -> x == x) <$> return 'a' <*> return 'b' }}} How can we get there? I think it's actually easy. Suppose we have {{{#!hs do p1 <- e1 p2 <- e2 p3 <- e3 p4 <- e4 p5 <- e5 e6 }}} Before starting the detailed dependency analysis and such, let's look just at ''which patterns are strict''. If a pattern is strict, then ''every'' following action must be seen as depending on it, and therefore its bindings and evidence can scope over everything else. Let's say that `p3` is strict. Then we can immediately transform the expression to {{{#!hs do p1 <- e1 p2 <- e2 e3 >>= \case p3 -> do p4 <- e4 p5 <- e5 e6 -- if refutable _ -> fail ... }}} and then continue the process in the inner `do` block. If this is done as an initial pass, then further rearrangement doesn't need to consider the possibility of strict patterns; there won't be any. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13906> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
