[GHC] #13101: Enable GHC to be loaded into GHCi

#13101: Enable GHC to be loaded into GHCi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: task | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It would be very helpful for development to be able to load GHC itself into GHCi. In principle this shouldn't be so hard since GHC is just another Haskell program. However, in practice there are a number of modules which use unboxed tuples, which the interpreter does not support. However, it should be possible to the convince GHC to use object code for just these modules and interpret the rest. I have a few attempts at this here (https://gist.github.com/bgamari/bd53e4fd6f3323599387ffc7b11d1a1e) See the following related mailing list threads, * https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2017-January/013545.html * https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2016-March/011555.html -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13101> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #15454: Have GHCi automatically use -fobject-code for modules that use UnboxedTuples

#15454: Have GHCi automatically use -fobject-code for modules that use UnboxedTuples -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mgsloan | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.3 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is related to a relatively old issue, that the bytecode interpreter cannot handle UnboxedTuples: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1257 . Rather than fix that issue, which sounds quite challenging, how about adding some automagic to GHCi which builds object code for modules that use UnboxedTuples? This is a bit trickier than just compiling those modules to object code, because object code cannot be linked against byte code (see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10965) A potential solution to this is to also build all of the dependencies of modules that use UnboxedTuples using object code. This idea has some precedent, though as an external script - see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13101 and https://gist.github.com/bgamari/bd53e4fd6f3323599387ffc7b11d1a1e . I think it would be best to put the solution to this directly in GHCi. What do you think? If y'all think it is a good idea, then I can volunteer to try to make it happen. As described in that ticket, this would be particularly helpful for loading GHC into GHCi, because GHC's code uses UnboxedTuples. Currently, `-fobject-code` must be used, which means that the speedup from using GHCi isn't quite as much as it could be. It is possible to get around this by first loading it with object code and then doing another load without object code, but that's rather inconvenient. Since this may be a surprising behavior change (the user may not have specified -odir and -hidir), it could possibly be enabled via a flag. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15454> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#11371: Bogus in-scope set in substitutions -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Bartosz [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc- devs/2016-January/010892.html reports] that substitution isn't working properly for him. He cites this Note in `TyCoRep`: {{{ -- Note [Generating the in-scope set for a substitution] -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- If we want to substitute [a -> ty1, b -> ty2] I used to -- think it was enough to generate an in-scope set that includes -- fv(ty1,ty2). But that's not enough; we really should also take the -- free vars of the type we are substituting into! Example: -- (forall b. (a,b,x)) [a -> List b] -- Then if we use the in-scope set {b}, there is a danger we will rename -- the forall'd variable to 'x' by mistake, getting this: -- (forall x. (List b, x, x)) -- Urk! This means looking at all the calls to mkOpenTCvSubst.... }}} I think this is an outright bug that has been lurking for ages, and which Bartosz has just managed to tickle. Things to do: * We should add an ASSERT to substTy (and similar functions): **when calling `substTy subst ty` it should be the case that the in-scope set in the substitution is a superset of** * **The free vars of the range of the substitution** * **The free vars of ty minus the domain of the substitution** That ASSERT could be added to the immediate callers of `subst_ty` in `TyCoRep`. (Bartosz: if you add that you should find that it trips before the bug you are actually getting.) * How to fix it properly? The places to look are: everywhere that uses (transitively) one of the `mkOpenTCvSubst` or `zipOpenTCvSubst` functions. * Many calls to `mkOpenTCvSubst` produce a substitution that is only applied to closed types; or at least to types whose only free variables are the ones in the domain of the substitution. Example: the call to `zipOpenTCvSubst` in `DataCon.dataConInstSig`. These ones will all satisfy the ASSERT[[BR]][[BR]] * In other cases, we already have the in-scope set in hand. Example: in `CoreLint.lintTyApp` we find a call to `substTyWith`. But Lint carries an in-scope set, so it would be easy to pass it to `substTyWith`.[[BR]][[BR]] * Finally there may be cases where we really have to take the free vars of the type we are substituting into, and add them to the in-scope set. Doubtless all this applies to substituting in coercions too, and indeed into expressions. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11371> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #14533: Make GHC more robust against PC crashes by using atomic writes

#14533: Make GHC more robust against PC crashes by using atomic writes -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Compile-time Unknown/Multiple | crash or panic Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Yesterday my Windows machine crashed when ghc was building, left me with a lot of corrupted .hi files (and probably .o files as well). That made me think if we should change ghc to write its output with atomic moves. Discussion on `#ghc`: {{{ bgamari: nh2: well, perhaps I'm not sure it's terribly common for compilers to take such precautions though and if we were to do it for interface files then presumably we would also want to do it for object files siarheit_: that would be very nice geekosaur: compilers in general are happy to write out incomplete/garbage object files bgamari: it seems that way nh2: bgamari: right, if we wanted to do it we should do it for all files ghc writes. Possible that other compilers can also write garbage, but maybe ghc can do better -- one less thing the developer has to think about Phyx-: most compilers also don't do the aggressive recompilation avoidance things we do either.. corrupt hi files wouldn't be an issue if the next time it would override them :) }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14533> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #13839: GHC warnings do not respect the default module header

#13839: GHC warnings do not respect the default module header -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Feuerbach | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- If I compile this program with `-Wall`, I get no warnings: {{{#!hs type T = Int main :: IO () main = return () }}} If I add a module header: {{{#!hs module Main(main) where type T = Int main :: IO () main = return () }}} I now get a warning: {{{ ghcbug2.hs:3:1: warning: [-Wunused-top-binds] Defined but not used: type constructor or class ‘T’ }}} Yet, according to Haskell2010 (section 5.1): > An abbreviated form of module, consisting only of the module body, is permitted. If this is used, the header is assumed to be ‘module Main(main) where’. Therefore, the right behaviour should be to print a warning in the first case as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13839> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
