One way to solve this is to remove a superfluous inline pragma which allows the following transformation to happen: {{{ letrec { f a = case e of { p1 -> f a'; p2 -> (# l, r #); }} in case f e2 of { (# l, r #) -> e3; } }}} into {{{ joinrec { f a = case e of { p1 -> jump f a'; p2 -> e3; }} in jump f e2 }}} More generally a recursive let binding that is called exactly once from the outside. If all recursive calls are tail calls and the outside one isn't then we could safely replace the call with the binding and end up with join points. In this case it means a 10x speedup so it might be worth doing generally. {{{ letrec { fi = ei; } in ... (fj e) ... => ... (joinrec { fi = ei; } in fj e) ... }}} [https://gist.github.com/AndreasPK/8e6f0cbf253f0930f4cda81e685ac136 Self contained example] -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14827> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#15583: Treating Constraint as Type when using (type C = Constraint) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.5 Keywords: TypeInType | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #15412 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This may be similar/same as #15412? I can't get to the latest GHC right now. Again the "culprit" is using `type C = Constraint`. The code example should not compile, but the error it gives is unexpected. If we define the associated type family `Ob_ (cat :: Cat ob) :: ob -> C` using `C` {{{#!hs {-# Language KindSignatures, PolyKinds, DataKinds, TypeInType, TypeFamilies, FlexibleInstances #-} import Data.Kind type T = Type type C = Constraint type Cat ob = ob -> ob -> T class Category_ (cat :: Cat ob) where type Ob_ (cat :: Cat ob) :: ob -> C id_ :: Ob_ cat a => cat a a class NoCls (a::k) instance NoCls (a::k) instance Category_ (->) where type Ob_ (->) = NoCls -- id_ :: NoCls a => (a -> a) -XInstanceSigs id_ = () }}} the definition of `id_` fails (as we expect), but the expected type (`Ob_ (->) a -> a -> a`) is wrong: {{{#!hs $ ghci -ignore-dot-ghci 348.hs GHCi, version 8.5.20180128: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( 348.hs, interpreted ) 348.hs:22:9: error: • Couldn't match expected type ‘Ob_ (->) a -> a -> a’ with actual type ‘()’ • In the expression: () In an equation for ‘id_’: id_ = () In the instance declaration for ‘Category_ (->)’ • Relevant bindings include id_ :: Ob_ (->) a -> a -> a (bound at 348.hs:22:3) | 22 | id_ = () | ^^ Failed, no modules loaded. Prelude> }}} If we simply replace `Ob_` with `type Ob_ (cat :: Cat ob) :: ob -> Constraint`, the expected type (`a -> a`) matches my intuition: {{{ 348.hs:22:9: error: • Couldn't match expected type ‘a -> a’ with actual type ‘()’ • In the expression: () In an equation for ‘id_’: id_ = () In the instance declaration for ‘Category_ (->)’ • Relevant bindings include id_ :: a -> a (bound at 348.hs:22:3) | 22 | id_ = () | ^^ }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15583> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Especially when using SSE we should just use `minss` instead of {{{ ucomisd %xmm1,%xmm0 jp .Lc5vv jbe .Lc5vw }}} which is worse in all kinds of ways. If someone feels like tackling this I'm happy to help with code review, answering questions, etc. I won't get around to doing it myself any time soon. As a starting point the instance declarations are in ghc- prim/GHC/Classes.hs. I would look into solving this via adding a new MachOP/PrimOP but maybe there are even better ways. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15580> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
