[GHC] #12227: regression: out of memory with -O2 -ddump-hi on a complex INLINE function

#12227: regression: out of memory with -O2 -ddump-hi on a complex INLINE function -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: j6carey | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 (CodeGen) | Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: None/Unknown (amd64) | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Summary: Unlike GHC 7.10.2, when GHC 8.0.1 tries to compile a certain complex INLINE function with -O2 -ddump-hi, it runs out of memory. Dropping either -O2 or -ddump-hi enables successful compilation. Oddly enough, triggering the issue requires using the function argument indirectly through a variable bound by a "where" clause, even though it is obvious to a human reader that the indirection is trivial. (Even after simplifying the original code to work around the out of memory issue, that indirection greatly increases the size of the ".dump-hi" file. It might be that the "out of memory" would not happen if one had sufficient RAM.) Using INLINABLE instead of INLINE seems to result in a much smaller RHS being recorded for the function in question, and does not trigger the problem. (Perhaps INLINABLE records a more optimized RHS than does INLINE, though that is not obvious to me from the GHC User's Guide.) The attached files contain a reduced version of the original code that still triggers the problem. (Of course, the reduced version is rather artificial and pointless, other than to demonstrate the problem.) Probably someone with sufficient understanding could shrink the example further. Please note that I have worked around the issue, and so I am not blocked by this problem, at least not currently. Attachments: - crash.bash - Crash.hs Observed behavior: On 64-bit x86 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, with the attached files in the current directory, GHC 7.10.2 succeeds: {{{ $ ./crash.bash The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.10.2 [1 of 1] Compiling Crash ( Crash.hs, Crash.o ) }}} whereas GHC 8.0.1 runs out of memory (or wedges my system if I comment out both "ulimit" commands in the script): {{{ $ ./crash.bash The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.0.1 [1 of 1] Compiling Crash ( Crash.hs, Crash.o ) ghc: out of memory }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12227> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#12195: RTS GetTime.c is broken on Darwins that include clock_gettime -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mistydemeo | Owner: 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHC fails to build on versions of Darwin which include `clock_gettime`. On Darwin versions which include `clock_gettime`, the `#ifdef`s are structured to prefer using `clock_gettime` over the mach-specific time functions and structs; however, a couple of places in GetTime.c use the mach functions unconditionally even though the `mach/mach_time.h` header won't be included if `clock_gettime` is available. The attached patch fixes this by checking `HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME` first before checking if the OS is Darwin. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12195> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

For example: Foo.hs {{{ module Foo (MT(..), M) where import Control.Monad.Identity newtype MT m b = MT (m b) type M b = MT Identity b }}} Main.hs {{{ import Control.Monad.Identity import Data.Coerce import Foo foo :: M [a] -> MT [] a foo = coerce }}} GHC (with `-fwarn-unused-imports`) warns {{{ Main.hs:1:1: Warning: The import of ‘Control.Monad.Identity’ is redundant except perhaps to import instances from ‘Control.Monad.Identity’ To import instances alone, use: import Control.Monad.Identity() }}} But this is incorrect: we need the constructor `Identity` to be in scope in order for the coercion to succeed. Thus the import is not redundant, nor is it needed to import instances. In particular, the two implied suggestions 1. remove the import altogether 2. change the import to `import Control.Monad.Identity` both (correctly) result in compile errors. At a minimum, the warning message should be updated to include this possibility, but it would be even better if GHC could detect this and not throw a warning at all. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12067> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
