#15837: Hadrian should build dynamically linked ghc binary -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: davide | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.1 (Hadrian) | 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 ghc binary is dynamically linked via make in various flavors (e.g. quick). Hadrian builds a static linked binary in these cases (this is a bug). Various change are needed to fix this: 1. Add new .cabal file field extra-dynamic-library-flavours (see [https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/5606 this PR]). 2. Use .cabal extra-dynamic-library-flavours for the RTS (see [https://github.com/snowleopard/hadrian/issues/695#issue-367436377 this comment], depends on 1.) 3. Hadrian: fix management of nontrivial dynamic flavours of libHSrts (see [https://github.com/snowleopard/hadrian/pull/698 this PR]). 4. Hadrian should build ghc with the `-fPIC -dynamic` options (see [https://github.com/DavidEichmann/ghc/commit/752021f69f577b678630302b567fd71… #diff-408bbe46d4afae11991cbadb2c531b78 this comment], depends on 3.). 5. Use the correct relative path to the dynamically linked libraries (see [https://phabricator.haskell.org/D5281 this change], depends on 3. and 4.). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15837> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #13208: Do two-phase inlining in simpleOptPgm

#13208: Do two-phase inlining in simpleOptPgm -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: lukemaurer | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- As of #12988, having `simpleOptPgm` leave β-redexes lying around is painful because it requires a special loophole in Core Lint to allow a jump inside a β-redex. We'd rather use a two-phase approach, mirroring the simplifier's `preInlineUnconditionally` and `postInlineUnconditionally`, so we can aggressively eliminate β-redexes without fear of exponential blowup. Consider: {{{ joinrec j1 x = e1 in join j2 x y = jump j1 e2 in jump j2 e3 e4 }}} Since `j2` is only used once, it gets inlined. But `simpleOptPgm` only performs inlining //after// a binding is simplified, so we end up here: {{{ joinrec j1 x = e1' in (\x y -> jump j1 e2') e3' e4' }}} Since `e2'` was already simplified, performing the β-reduction here risks exponential blowup for the same reason it can happen in the simplifier (see the Secrets paper; `perf/compiler/T783` is a live example, increasing in allocs by over 80% if we re-simplify here). We //could// just `let`-bind `e3'` and `e4'` (carefully avoiding capturing free occurrences of `x` in `e4'`), but not if one them is actually a type argument. Well, okay, we //could// introduce a type `let`, but doing that here means the desugarer can now return a type `let` and we're not prepared for that. (Specifically, under certain circumstances, the simplifier never runs in between the desugarer and Float Out, and the latter breaks in the presence of type `let`.) So for the moment, we leave the β-redex there, but this needs a special rule just for β-redexes because normally you can't have a jump under a lambda (or an application, for that matter). In the long term, we'd prefer to take the simplifier's approach instead: If we want to inline something because it only occurs once (even though it may be big), we add it to the substitution //before// simplifying it so that we only simplify it once. This means the substitution has to carry lexical closures around, though, just like the simplifier does (see `SimplSR`'s `ContEx` disjunct), so it's not trivial. The `simpleOptPgm` β-redexes are the only reason for the special rule in Core Lint (see Note [Beta redexes] in `CoreLint.hs`), so once this is done we can be rid of that. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13208> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
