#10346: Cross-module SpecConstr -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Type-class specialisation now happens flawlessly across modules. That is, if I define {{{ module DefineF where f :: Num a => a -> a {-# INLINEABLE f #-} f x = ...f x'.... }}} then modules that import `DefineF` and call `f` at some particular type (say `Int`) will generate a specialised copy of `f`'s code. But this does not happen for `SpecConstr`; we only specialise a function for calls made in the same module. All the infrastructure is in place to allow cross-module `SpecConstr`; it just hasn't been done yet. This ticket is to record the idea. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10346> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9688: Improve the interaction between CSE and the join point transformation

#9688: Improve the interaction between CSE and the join point transformation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: CSE | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Runtime Blocked By: | performance bug Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It appears that the join point transformation sometimes interferes with CSE when CSE would be much better. Two examples: === digitToIntMaybe === Suppose we define {{{#!hs isHexDigit :: Char -> Bool isHexDigit c = (fromIntegral (ord c - ord '0')::Word) <= 9 || (fromIntegral (ord c - ord 'a')::Word) <= 5 || (fromIntegral (ord c - ord 'A')::Word) <= 5 digitToInt c | (fromIntegral dec::Word) <= 9 = dec | (fromIntegral hexl::Word) <= 5 = hexl + 10 | (fromIntegral hexu::Word) <= 5 = hexu + 10 | otherwise = error ("Char.digitToInt: not a digit " ++ show c) -- sigh where dec = ord c - ord '0' hexl = ord c - ord 'a' hexu = ord c - ord 'A' -- We could also expand this out in cases manually, but it makes no -- difference as far as I can tell. }}} Suppose we then write a naive `digitToIntMaybe` function: {{{#!hs digitToIntMaybe c | isHexDigit c = Just (digitToInt c) | otherwise = Nothing }}} What I would want this to do is "zip" the nested cases and give Core like this: {{{ $wdigitToIntMaybe $wdigitToIntMaybe = \ ww_s2Ag -> let { x#_a2yy x#_a2yy = -# (ord# ww_s2Ag) 48 } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# x#_a2yy) (__word 9)) of _ { False -> let { x#1_X2z7 x#1_X2z7 = -# (ord# ww_s2Ag) 97 } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# x#1_X2z7) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> let { x#2_X2zh x#2_X2zh = -# (ord# ww_s2Ag) 65 } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# x#2_X2zh) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> Nothing; True -> Just (I# (+# x#2_X2zh 10)) }; True -> Just (I# (+# x#1_X2z7 10)) }; True -> Just (I# x#_a2yy) } digitToIntMaybe digitToIntMaybe = \ w_s2Ad -> case w_s2Ad of _ { C# ww1_s2Ag -> $wdigitToIntMaybe ww1_s2Ag } }}} But instead, the join point transformation triggers, and we get this: {{{ digitToIntMaybe1 digitToIntMaybe1 = \ ww_s2Cp -> error (unpackAppendCString# "Char.digitToInt: not a digit "# ($w$cshowsPrec15 ww_s2Cp ([]))) $wdigitToIntMaybe $wdigitToIntMaybe = \ ww_s2Cp -> let { $j_s2Bc $j_s2Bc = \ _ -> Just (let { a_s2B5 a_s2B5 = int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 48) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# a_s2B5 (__word 9)) of _ { False -> let { a1_s2B7 a1_s2B7 = int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 97) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# a1_s2B7 (__word 5)) of _ { False -> let { a2_s2B9 a2_s2B9 = int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 65) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# a2_s2B9 (__word 5)) of _ { False -> digitToIntMaybe1 ww_s2Cp; True -> I# (+# (word2Int# a2_s2B9) 10) }; True -> I# (+# (word2Int# a1_s2B7) 10) }; True -> I# (word2Int# a_s2B5) }) } in case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 48)) (__word 9)) of _ { False -> case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 97)) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> case tagToEnum# (leWord# (int2Word# (-# (ord# ww_s2Cp) 65)) (__word 5)) of _ { False -> Nothing; True -> $j_s2Bc void# }; True -> $j_s2Bc void# }; True -> $j_s2Bc void# } digitToIntMaybe digitToIntMaybe = \ w_s2Cm -> case w_s2Cm of _ { C# ww1_s2Cp -> $wdigitToIntMaybe ww1_s2Cp } }}} We perform the same three tests twice each, and test for an error condition that obviously can't happen. === `quotRem` and `divMod` === If we define {{{#!hs x `quot` y = fst (x `quotRem` y) x `rem` y = snd (x `quotRem` y) }}} and then write something like {{{#!hs f x y | x `rem` y == 0 = x `quot` y | otherwise = 17 }}} then CSE works some magic and we only calculate `quotRem x y` once. Unfortunately, if we do this: {{{#!hs whatever x y = if x `myRem` y == 0 then (x `myQuot` y) + 14 else x `myQuot` y }}} then the join point transformation fires, collecting the `myQuot x y` expressions in the case branches and preventing CSE from recognizing the much better opportunity to eliminate those calculations altogether. The situation with `divMod` is much worse. The join point transformation applied to the cases defining `divMod` prevents CSE from working magic on it in even simple situations, unless one of the arguments is known, making this definition unusable (the resulting Core is too horrifyingly long to paste here). It would probably be possible to improve the `divMod` situation to something close to the `quotRem` one by making `divMod` `NOINLINE` and adding special `divModLit` rules, but I'd much rather see a general solution. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9688> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
