#11603: Fix/clarify documentation in GHC.Stats -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dcturner | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core | Version: 8.1 Libraries | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Documentation Unknown/Multiple | bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The following were not clear to me until I read the source: `numByteUsageSamples` is (also) the number of major GCs performed. `currentBytesUsed` is the number of live bytes ''at the end of the last major GC''. Is `currentBytesSlop` also at the end of the last major GC? Can't see that it's actually set to anything nonzero anywhere... The comments for `cumulativeBytesUsed` and `parTotBytesCopied` are in the wrong places. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11603> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#11123: Arm: checkProddableBlock: invalid fixup in runtime linke --------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: arm | Type of failure: Building GHC failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: --------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Just started getting this in the last week or two, but only just now got a chance to investigate more fully. Any use of GHCi or TH will result in an error like: {{{ ghc-stage2: internal error: checkProddableBlock: invalid fixup in runtime linker: 0x41380050 (GHC version 7.11.20151122 for arm_unknown_linux) Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug Aborted }}} As a consequence, there are now over 500 failing tests on Arm. I thought this may have been a consequence of all the recent work on `rts/Linker.c` so I checked out git commit 20e30d5f3d932d63933 (the one just before the dreaded commit 04e8366608fee4f which seemed to kick off a bunch of heavy rework in this file) but that revision causes another, even more mysterious linking failure. From what I have seen, this only affects 32 bit Arm. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11123> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#7337: GHC does not generate great code for bit-level rotation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bos | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (NCG) | Version: 7.6.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jberryman): FWIW I'm trying my hand at this, though it may take me a while as it's my first time working on GHC, and I'm not sure how much time I'll have to spend. It looks like I can take my lead from the byteswap patches (`git show 5ae238504 da7db19 1c5b0511 c5d5e3ac 86ca77ecb`). Also I'm considering just implementing a rotateR primop since that's what ARM supports (I think) and my use case only has constant rotate values which I know GHC would simplify to a single instruction if Data.Bits.rotateL was implemented in terms of the rotateR primop. Hm, but that would be extra bad for people who have variable left rotate values which also might be `0`, because they's need to do a AND mask and a subtraction. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7337#comment:8> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Given this code that reads bytes of `stdin`: {{{#!hs import Foreign.C import Foreign import System.Posix.Internals import qualified GHC.IO.FD as FD readStdin bytes = allocaBytes bytes $ \p -> throwErrnoIfMinus1 "" $ c_safe_read (FD.fdFD FD.stdin) p (fromIntegral bytes) }}} Running {{{#!hs readStdin (32 * 1024) }}} Throws the following {{{ *** Exception: resource exhausted (Not enough space) }}} Taking less bytes, e.g. `readStdin (30 * 1024)`, runs as expected. This code is motivated by [[https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/35|this]] issue in the `bytestring` library. This is essentially a minimization of the error case [[https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/35#issuecomment-148954406|here]] -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11009> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
