[GHC] #16069: Proposal to resolve some confusion about stages in Hadrian

#16069: Proposal to resolve some confusion about stages in Hadrian -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.3 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The current situation with hadrian is that 1. We build libraries required to build the stage2 compiler with stage1 and place them in `_build/stage1`. 2. The `stage2` compiler is built with `stage1` and then placed in `_build/stage1`. 3. Executables built using the `stage2` compiler such as haddock then also use the libraries built by the `stage1` compiler even though they are being built with the `stage2` compiler. However, this is problematic because when you want to build a `stage3` compiler, we want to actually build the libraries again using the `stage2` compiler and place them in `_build/stage2`. If we follow the existing logic for executables built using the `stage2` compiler then in order to build a `stage3` compiler we would just reuse all the libraries from `_build/stage1` which seems incorrect. The proposal is simply thus: 1. When building an executable at stageN, we use libraries also built at stageN. Concretely, if we want to build `haddock`, a stage2 executable, then we also have to build all the libraries it needs with the `stage2` compiler and install them into a package database in `_build/stage2`. 2. The definition of "build" can be configured. By default, in order to "build" a stage2 library we copy it from the stage1 database but it is configurable to rebuild it with the stage2 compiler as we would want to for stage3. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16069> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Similarly, {{{ baz :: $( return $ AppT (ParensT (ConT ''Maybe)) (ConT ''Int) ) baz = Just 5 }}} fails because `baz :: (Maybe)` isn't valid. On the other hand, {{{ frob :: forall (a :: $( [t| * Int |] )). a -> a frob x = x }}} is spuriously accepted, because GHC has forgotten about the `Int` argument. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15360> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#13648: ApplicativeDo selects "GHC.Base.Monad.return" when actions are used without patterns. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AaronFriel | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1-rc1 Keywords: | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHC 8.0.2 and 8.2.1-rc1 (rc2 not checked) have a bug where -XApplicativeDo causes "GHC.Base.Monad.return" to be used instead of the locally available "return", and a spurious "return ()" shows up. This desugaring is not adhering to the -XRebindableSyntax spec (see: #12490). Example: {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-} {-# LANGUAGE RebindableSyntax #-} -- Bug vanishes if this next line is removed: {-# LANGUAGE ApplicativeDo #-} module Main where import Prelude (String, print) class MyFunctor f where fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b class MyApplicative f where pure :: a -> f a (<*>) :: f (a -> b) -> f a -> f b class MyMonad m where return :: a -> m a (>>) :: m a -> m b -> m b (>>=) :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b fail :: String -> m a join :: m (m a) -> m a testCase1 m1 m2 = do m1 m2 return () testCase2 m1 m2 = do _ <- m1 _ <- m2 return () main = print "42" }}} {{{ :t testCase1 testCase1 :: (MyFunctor f, MyApplicative f, MyMonad f, Monad f) => f a2 -> f a1 -> f () :t testCase2 :: testCase2 :: (MyFunctor f, MyApplicative f) => f t -> f a -> f () }}} The desugaring for testCase1 shows the issue: {{{#!hs testCase1' m1 m2 = (<*>) (fmap (\() () -> ()) (m1 >> (GHC.Base.Monad.return ()))) (m2 >> (GHC.Base.Monad.return ())) -- or: testCase1' m1 m2 = (fmap (\() () -> () ) (m1 >> (return ()))) <*> (m2 >> (return ())) }}} I would be able to work on this if someone pointed me in the right direction. It looks like it would be in `compiler/rename/RnEnv` and `compiler/rename/RnExpr`, as with #12490? As a proposed fix, I would want to implement a limited-scope fix before the 8.2.1 release which would not address the thornier issue of #10892. The patch would: 1. Replace `GHC.Base.Monad.return` with local `pure`, removing the `Monad` constraint. 2. Replace `>>` with `*>`, removing the `MyMonad` constraint. This isn't a _complete_ fix, as this would still induce an unnecessary use of the local `fmap`, but it would reduce the desugaring bug in `testCase1` to only that local `fmap`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13648> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
