To see what went wrong, let's zoom in a particular part of the `-ddump-deriv` output (cleaned up a bit for presentation purposes): {{{#!hs instance Eq a => Eq (Glurp a) where (==) = coerce @(Wat 'Proxy -> Wat 'Proxy -> Bool) @(Glurp a -> Glurp a -> Bool) (==) }}} Notice that it's `Wat 'Proxy`, and not `Wat ('Proxy :: Proxy a)`! And no, that's not just a result of GHC omitting the kind information—you will see the exact same thing if you compile with `-fprint-explicit-kinds`. What's going on here? As it turns out, the types inside of those visible type applications aren't `Type`s, but rather `HsType GhcRn`s (i.e., source syntax). So what is happening is that GHC is literally producing `@(Wat 'Proxy -> Wat 'Proxy -> Bool)` //as source syntax//, not as a `Type`. This means that `'Proxy` has an underspecified kind, resulting in the numerous `The type variable ‘a0’ is ambiguous` errors you see above. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14579> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#14078: -ddump-json doesn't work well with GHCi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dramforever | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.2.1 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, `:set -ddump-json` in `GHCi` causes all errors to be gathered to be written out on exit. `ghci -ddump-json` is even worse, only resulting in a `[]` being output on exit. However, I believe this completely defeats the purpose of this flag in GHCi. I expect `ghci -ddump-json` to work like this: for _each_ evaluation typed at the GHCi prompt, one JSON array is output for all messages this evaluation caused. This proposed behavior is consistent with other flags like `-ddump-simpl`, and will allow tooling to interact with GHCi nicely. Reporting this as a bug because this looks half-supported rather than unsupported, and also because of the different behaviors of `ghci -ddump- json` and `:set -ddump-json`. Sorry if it was not warranted. == Steps to reproduce `cmd>` is the shell prompt. {{{#!hs cmd> ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.2.1 cmd> type tmp.hs main = print 2 + 2 cmd> ghci -ddump-json tmp.hs GHCi, version 8.2.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( tmp.hs, interpreted ) tmp.hs:1:8: error: ?

As of today GDB cannot produce a valid stack trace for this code: {{{#!hs module Main where import System.IO f name = print $ "Hello, " ++ name {-# NOINLINE f #-} g name = f name {-# NOINLINE g #-} main = do name <- getLine g name }}} when a breakpoint is set on the line that defines `f` before the program is run.

#10915: Statistical profiling support in the RTS -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: bgamari Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): Phab:D1215, | Phab:D1214 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Now since GHC can produce useful debugging information (e.g. DWARF annotations and source notes) in compiled objects, it would great if we could leverage this for more efficient profiling. While ideally we would be able to rely on external tools like `perf` for this task, this would require that the STG stack be walkable like a standard C stack. A more feasible alternative is to incorporate a simple statistical profiler into the RTS. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10915> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #11337: Unwind information incorrect between Sp adjustment and end of block

#11337: Unwind information incorrect between Sp adjustment and end of block -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 (CodeGen) | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- As pointed out in Phab:D1532, the DWARF unwinding information that we produce is currently a bit oversimplified. Namely, we produce exactly one unwind table per Cmm block. This works reasonably well in most cases since we most Cmm blocks have the form, {{{ aProcedure() { casl: -- we just entered the procedure, so the unwinding is trivial. unwind Sp = Sp -- we push some values onto the stack... I64[Sp - 16] = ... I64[Sp - 8] = ... -- and before leaving the block we update Sp. Sp = Sp - 16; -- technically our unwind information is now a lie call aFunction() returns to casd; casd: -- we inherit the unwind information from the state of the stack when we -- left the preceding block (casl) unwind Sp = Sp + 16 R2 = I64[Sp + 8]; -- pop off that which we pushed Sp = Sp + 16; call GHC.List.$wunsafeTake_info(R3, R2) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; }}} Here there is a narrow window where our unwind information is technically wrong: between updating `Sp` in `casl` and calling into `aFunction`. Note that after we arrive in `aFunction` we are safe, since our return address is `casd`, which has the correct unwinding information. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11337> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
