#8109: Type family patterns should support as-patterns. ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: carlhowells | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I recently wrote code similar to the following: {{{ {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds, ScopedTypeVariables, TypeOperators, TypeFamilies #-} {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds, FlexibleInstances, FlexibleContexts #-} import GHC.TypeLits data P n = P fromNat :: forall (p :: Nat -> *) (n :: Nat). SingI n => p n -> Integer fromNat _ = fromSing (sing :: Sing n) class C (a :: [Nat]) where type T a :: * val :: p a -> T a instance SingI n => C '[n] where type T '[n] = Integer val _ = fromNat (P :: P n) instance (SingI n, C (n2 ': ns)) => C (n ': n2 ': ns) where type T (n ': n2 ': ns) = (Integer, T (n2 ': ns)) val _ = (fromNat (P :: P n), val (P :: P (n2 ': ns))) }}} There were semantic constraints in my case that made an empty list nonsensical, so it wasn't an appropriate base case. But the resulting effort in ensuring type family patterns didn't overlap got unwieldy. I would have much preferred to write that second instance more like this: {{{ instance (SingI n, C ns) => C (n ': ns@(_ ': _)) where type T (n ': ns) = (Integer, T ns) val _ = (fromNat (P :: P n), val (P :: P ns)) }}} The reasoning here is identical to as-patterns in value-level pattern matching. If you only want to match an expression when it has a particular sub-structure, it's way more convenient to do it with an as-pattern. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8109> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #12126: Bad error messages for SPECIALIZE pragmas

#12126: Bad error messages for SPECIALIZE pragmas -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: antalsz | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: Specialize, | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple ErrorMessages | Architecture: | Type of failure: Incorrect Unknown/Multiple | warning at compile-time Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When playing with SPECIALIZE pragmas, I've encountered one large problem with the error messages, and two minor ones. 1. Given a function with a `Num` constraint, applying `SPECIALIZE` at a non-function type triggers defaulting incorrectly; the code {{{#!hs f1 :: Num a => a -> a f1 x = x + x {-# SPECIALIZE f1 :: Bool #-} }}} produces the error {{{ …/Test1.hs:5:1: error: • Couldn't match expected type ‘Integer -> Integer’ with actual type ‘Bool’ • In the SPECIALISE pragma {-# SPECIALIZE f1 :: Bool #-} }}} (This is in the attached file `Test1.hs`.) 2. Given a function, applying `SPECIALIZE` at a well-formed type without the looked-for instance produces an error with some extra text (the first line ends with "a SPECIALISE pragma for ‘f2’", even though this is repeated on the next line); the code {{{#!hs f2 :: Num a => a -> a f2 x = x + x {-# SPECIALIZE f2 :: Bool -> Bool #-} }}} produces the error {{{ …/Test2.hs:5:1: error: • No instance for (Num Bool) a SPECIALISE pragma for ‘f2’ • In the SPECIALISE pragma {-# SPECIALIZE f2 :: Bool -> Bool #-} }}} (This is in the attached file `Test2.hs`.) 3. This is minor, but: both of these error messages talk about a `SPECIALISE` pragma when I wrote a `SPECIALIZE` pragma. Even more so, case is not preserved in the quoted pragma; if I provide a {{{#!hs {-# specialize … #-} }}} pragma, the error message ends with {{{ • In the SPECIALISE pragma {-# SPECIALIZE … #-}`. }}} even though that isn't what I wrote. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12126> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #13165: Speed up the RTS hash table

#13165: Speed up the RTS hash table -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dobenour | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Runtime | Version: 8.1 System | 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 RTS hash table is rather slow. Every lookup involves at least one indirect call (to get a hash code). It also uses separate chaining, which is itself slow. Until recently, this didn't really matter, since the RTS hash table wasn't used for anything particularly performance critical other than `StablePtr` operations. However, it has since become the bottleneck when compacting with sharing, to the point that compacting without sharing is around 10x faster and is thus the default. Fortunately, there are easy ways to make the hash table faster. These include: - Use linear probing instead of separate chaining. - Specialize for the case of pointer keys - Don't use indirect calls for hashing - Use a fast, universal hash function for pointers. - Use SSE instructions where available to do fast searches. - Minimize the number of indirections in the use of the table. In both the case of the StablePtr table and that of compact regions, the keys of the table are not GC pointers, but the values are, so there needs to be a way to ensure that the GC handles the table correctly -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13165> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The issue is that this step shouldn't be required, we must have a self- contained `shell.nix`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15794> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Here's the resulting C compiler invocations for different `-O` flags: {{{ $ ghc -fforce-recomp -v -c m.hs |& grep O3 gcc -fno-stack-protector -DTABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE -O3 -x c /tmp/ghc14023_0/ghc_2.c -o /tmp/ghc14023_0/ghc_3.s -Wimplicit -S -include /opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include/ghcversion.h -I. -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/base-4.10.0.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/integer-gmp-1.0.1.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include }}} {{{ $ ghc -fforce-recomp -O0 -v -c m.hs |& grep O3 gcc -fno-stack-protector -DTABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE -O3 -x c /tmp/ghc14045_0/ghc_2.c -o /tmp/ghc14045_0/ghc_3.s -Wimplicit -S -include /opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include/ghcversion.h -I. -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/base-4.10.0.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/integer-gmp-1.0.1.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include }}} {{{ $ ghc -fforce-recomp -O1 -v -c m.hs |& grep O3 gcc -fno-stack-protector -DTABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE -O3 -x c /tmp/ghc14073_0/ghc_2.c -o /tmp/ghc14073_0/ghc_3.s -Wimplicit -S -O -include /opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include/ghcversion.h -I. -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/base-4.10.0.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/integer-gmp-1.0.1.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include }}} {{{ $ ghc -fforce-recomp -O2 -v -c m.hs |& grep O3 gcc -fno-stack-protector -DTABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE -O3 -x c /tmp/ghc14093_0/ghc_2.c -o /tmp/ghc14093_0/ghc_3.s -Wimplicit -S -O2 -include /opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include/ghcversion.h -I. -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/base-4.10.0.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/integer-gmp-1.0.1.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include }}} {{{ $ ghc -fforce-recomp -O3 -v -c m.hs |& grep O3 gcc -fno-stack-protector -DTABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE -O3 -x c /tmp/ghc14119_0/ghc_2.c -o /tmp/ghc14119_0/ghc_3.s -Wimplicit -S -O2 -include /opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include/ghcversion.h -I. -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/base-4.10.0.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/integer-gmp-1.0.1.0/include -I/opt/ghc/8.2.1/lib/ghc-8.2.1/include }}} To summarise, here's the resulting effective `-O`-level passed to `gcc`: ||= GHC invocation =||= GCC invocation =||= Effective C `-O`-level =|| || `ghc` || `gcc -O3` || `-O3` || || `ghc -O0` || `gcc -O3` || `-O3` || || `ghc -O1` || `gcc -O3 -O1` || `-O1` || || `ghc -O2` || `gcc -O3 -O2` || `-O2` || || `ghc -O3` || `gcc -O3 -O2` || `-O2` || Consequently, the only way to have C code compiled with `-O3` is to force GHC into `-O0` mode; this is obviously not ideal, as it easily kills any benefit you'd gain from passing `-O3` to the C compiler... ;-) I see a few alternatives on how to resolve this: 1. Have GHC recognise `-optc-O[0-9]` and suppress automatically injecting any `-O<n>` of its own 2. Have GHC inject its automatic `-O`-flags before user-provided `-optc` flags 3. Have GHC inject `-optc` flags as late as possible on the C compiler command-line 4. Implement a new variant of the `-optc` flag which injects its flags as late as possible on the C compiler command-line -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14452> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This means that commands like `:type-at` and `:all-types` work as if they had the old file. I expect that given `:set +c`, a successful `:load *foo.hs` would always collect the new type information for `foo.hs`. == Steps to reproduce The contents of `setc.hs` is the following, although it's pretty surely irrelevant. {{{#!hs module SetC where }}} The following is a GHCi session showing the problem (my comments are marked with `--`). {{{ GHCi, version 8.4.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Prelude> :set +c -- dir /b is basically ls on Windows Prelude> :! dir /b setc* setc.hs -- When I load a file multiple times it works fine Prelude> :load *setc.hs [1 of 1] Compiling SetC ( setc.hs, interpreted ) Ok, one module loaded.

The following steps should reproduce the problem: 1. Make a debug build with Hadrian: `./hadrian/build.sh --flavour=Devel2` 2. Rebuild with freeze1: `./hadrian/build.sh --flavour=Devel2 --freeze1` 3. Edit `compiler/coreSyn/CoreUtils.hs`, adding some change that is easily detected in the output 4. Rebuild with freeze1: `./hadrian/build.sh --flavour=Devel2 --freeze1` 5. Observe how `CoreUtils` does not appear in the list of modules Hadrian is compiling, and how changes to that file do not end up in the stage2 compiler. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15130> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
