* Simple subsumptionwip/T17775Simon Peyton Jones2020-06-052-11/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch simplifies GHC to use simple subsumption. Ticket #17775 Implements GHC proposal #287 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/ proposals/0287-simplify-subsumption.rst All the motivation is described there; I will not repeat it here. The implementation payload: * tcSubType and friends become noticably simpler, because it no longer uses eta-expansion when checking subsumption. * No deeplyInstantiate or deeplySkolemise That in turn means that some tests fail, by design; they can all be fixed by eta expansion. There is a list of such changes below. Implementing the patch led me into a variety of sticky corners, so the patch includes several othe changes, some quite significant: * I made String wired-in, so that "foo" :: String rather than "foo" :: [Char] This improves error messages, and fixes #15679 * The pattern match checker relies on knowing about in-scope equality constraints, andd adds them to the desugarer's environment using addTyCsDs. But the co_fn in a FunBind was missed, and for some reason simple-subsumption ends up with dictionaries there. So I added a call to addTyCsDs. This is really part of #18049. * I moved the ic_telescope field out of Implication and into ForAllSkol instead. This is a nice win; just expresses the code much better. * There was a bug in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.tcDataFamInstHeader. We called checkDataKindSig inside tc_kind_sig, /before/ solveEqualities and zonking. Obviously wrong, easily fixed. * solveLocalEqualitiesX: there was a whole mess in here, around failing fast enough. I discovered a bad latent bug where we could successfully kind-check a type signature, and use it, but have unsolved constraints that could fill in coercion holes in that signature -- aargh. It's all explained in Note [Failure in local type signatures] in GHC.Tc.Solver. Much better now. * I fixed a serious bug in anonymous type holes. IN f :: Int -> (forall a. a -> _) -> Int that "_" should be a unification variable at the /outer/ level; it cannot be instantiated to 'a'. This was plain wrong. New fields mode_lvl and mode_holes in TcTyMode, and auxiliary data type GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.HoleMode. This fixes #16292, but makes no progress towards the more ambitious #16082 * I got sucked into an enormous refactoring of the reporting of equality errors in GHC.Tc.Errors, especially in mkEqErr1 mkTyVarEqErr misMatchMsg misMatchMsgOrCND In particular, the very tricky mkExpectedActualMsg function is gone. It took me a full day. But the result is far easier to understand. (Still not easy!) This led to various minor improvements in error output, and an enormous number of test-case error wibbles. One particular point: for occurs-check errors I now just say Can't match 'a' against '[a]' rather than using the intimidating language of "occurs check". * Pretty-printing AbsBinds Tests review * Eta expansions T11305: one eta expansion T12082: one eta expansion (undefined) T13585a: one eta expansion T3102: one eta expansion T3692: two eta expansions (tricky) T2239: two eta expansions T16473: one eta determ004: two eta expansions (undefined) annfail06: two eta (undefined) T17923: four eta expansions (a strange program indeed!) tcrun035: one eta expansion * Ambiguity check at higher rank. Now that we have simple subsumption, a type like f :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int is no longer ambiguous, because we could write g :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int g = f and it'd typecheck just fine. But f's type is a bit suspicious, and we might want to consider making the ambiguity check do a check on each sub-term. Meanwhile, these tests are accepted, whereas they were previously rejected as ambiguous: T7220a T15438 T10503 T9222 * Some more interesting error message wibbles T13381: Fine: one error (Int ~ Exp Int) rather than two (Int ~ Exp Int, Exp Int ~ Int) T9834: Small change in error (improvement) T10619: Improved T2414: Small change, due to order of unification, fine T2534: A very simple case in which a change of unification order means we get tow unsolved constraints instead of one tc211: bizarre impredicative tests; just accept this for now Updates Cabal and haddock submodules. Metric Increase: T12150 T12234 T5837 haddock.base Metric Decrease: haddock.compiler haddock.Cabal haddock.base Merge note: This appears to break the `UnliftedNewtypesDifficultUnification` test. It has been marked as broken in the interest of merging. (cherry picked from commit 66b7b195cb3dce93ed5078b80bf568efae904cc5)

* Eta expand un-saturated primopsBen Gamari2020-05-291-20/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | Now since we no longer try to predict CAFfyness we have no need for the solution to #16846. Eta expanding unsaturated primop applications is conceptually simpler, especially in the presence of levity polymorphism. This essentially reverts cac8dc9f51e31e4c0a6cd9bc302f7e1bc7c03beb, as suggested in #18079. Closes #18079.
* Fix "build/elem" RULE.Andreas Klebinger2020-05-291-10/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An redundant constraint prevented the rule from matching. Fixing this allows a call to elem on a known list to be translated into a series of equality checks, and eventually a simple case expression. Surprisingly this seems to regress elem for strings. To avoid this we now also allow foldrCString to inline and add an UTF8 variant. This results in elem being compiled to a tight non-allocating loop over the primitive string literal which performs a linear search. In the process this commit adds UTF8 variants for some of the functions in GHC.CString. This is required to make this work for both ASCII and UTF8 strings. There are also small tweaks to the CString related rules. We now allow ourselfes the luxury to compare the folding function via eqExpr, which helps to ensure the rule fires before we inline foldrCString*. Together with a few changes to allow matching on both the UTF8 and ASCII variants of the CString functions.

* Add orderingTyCon to wiredInTyCons (#18185)Ryan Scott2020-05-242-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | `Ordering` needs to be wired in for use in the built-in `CmpNat` and `CmpSymbol` type families, but somehow it was never added to the list of `wiredInTyCons`, leading to the various oddities observed in #18185. Easily fixed by moving `orderingTyCon` from `basicKnownKeyNames` to `wiredInTyCons`. Fixes #18185.
* Implement cstringLength# and FinalPtrAndrew Martin2020-05-231-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function and its accompanying rule resolve issue #5218. A future PR to the bytestring library will make the internal Data.ByteString.Internal.unsafePackAddress compute string length with cstringLength#. This will improve the status quo because it is eligible for constant folding. Additionally, introduce a new data constructor to ForeignPtrContents named FinalPtr. This additional data constructor, when used in the IsString instance for ByteString, leads to more Core-to-Core optimization opportunities, fewer runtime allocations, and smaller binaries. Also, this commit re-exports all the functions from GHC.CString (including cstringLength#) in GHC.Exts. It also adds a new test driver. This test driver is used to perform substring matches on Core that is dumped after all the simplifier passes. In this commit, it is used to check that constant folding of cstringLength# works.

| | | | | | | | | * Besides resizing functions, shrinking ones also mutate the size of a mutable array and because of those two `sizeofMutabeByteArray` and `sizeofSmallMutableArray` are now deprecated * Change reference in documentation to the newer functions `getSizeof*` instead of `sizeof*` for shrinking functions * Fix incorrect mention of "byte" instead of "small"
* Explicit SpecificityGert-Jan Bottu2020-05-212-6/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implementation for Ticket #16393. Explicit specificity allows users to manually create inferred type variables, by marking them with braces. This way, the user determines which variables can be instantiated through visible type application. The additional syntax is included in the parser, allowing users to write braces in type variable binders (type signatures, data constructors etc). This information is passed along through the renamer and verified in the type checker. The AST for type variable binders, data constructors, pattern synonyms, partial signatures and Template Haskell has been updated to include the specificity of type variables. Minor notes: - Bumps haddock submodule - Disables pattern match checking in GHC.Iface.Type with GHC 8.8
* DmdAnal: Improve handling of precise exceptionsSebastian Graf2020-05-151-10/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does two things: Fix possible unsoundness in what was called the "IO hack" and implement part 2.1 of the "fixing precise exceptions" plan in https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/fixing-precise-exceptions, which, in combination with !2956, supersedes !3014 and !2525. **IO hack** The "IO hack" (which is a fallback to preserve precise exceptions semantics and thus soundness, rather than some smart thing that increases precision) is called `exprMayThrowPreciseException` now. I came up with two testcases exemplifying possible unsoundness (if twisted enough) in the old approach: - `T13380d`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when resorting to manual state token threading and direct use of primops. More details below. - `T13380e`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when we have Nested CPR. Not currently relevant, as we don't have Nested CPR yet. - `T13380f`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" for safe FFI calls. Basically, the IO hack assumed that precise exceptions can only be thrown from a case scrutinee of type `(# State# RealWorld, _ #)`. I couldn't come up with a program using the `IO` abstraction that violates this assumption. But it's easy to do so via manual state token threading and direct use of primops, see `T13380d`. Also similar code might be generated by Nested CPR in the (hopefully not too) distant future, see `T13380e`. Hence, we now have a more careful test in `forcesRealWorld` that passes `T13380{d,e}` (and will hopefully be robust to Nested CPR). **Precise exceptions** In #13380 and #17676 we saw that we didn't preserve precise exception semantics in demand analysis. We fixed that with minimal changes in !2956, but that was terribly unprincipled. That unprincipledness resulted in a loss of precision, which is tracked by these new test cases: - `T13380b`: Regression in dead code elimination, because !2956 was too syntactic about `raiseIO#` - `T13380c`: No need to apply the "IO hack" when the IO action may not throw a precise exception (and the existing IO hack doesn't detect that) Fixing both issues in !3014 turned out to be too complicated and had the potential to regress in the future. Hence we decided to only fix `T13380b` and augment the `Divergence` lattice with a new middle-layer element, `ExnOrDiv`, which means either `Diverges` (, throws an imprecise exception) or throws a *precise* exception. See the wiki page on Step 2.1 for more implementational details: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/fixing-precise-exceptions#dead-code-elimination-for-raiseio-with-isdeadenddiv-introducing-exnordiv-step-21

* Refactoring unit management codeSylvain Henry2020-04-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Over the years the unit management code has been modified a lot to keep up with changes in Cabal (e.g. support for several library components in the same package), to integrate BackPack, etc. I found it very hard to understand as the terminology wasn't consistent, was referring to past concepts, etc. The terminology is now explained as clearly as I could in the Note "About Units" and the code is refactored to reflect it. ------------------- Many names were misleading: UnitId is not an Id but could be a virtual unit (an indefinite one instantiated on the fly), IndefUnitId constructor may contain a definite instantiated unit, etc. * Rename IndefUnitId into InstantiatedUnit * Rename IndefModule into InstantiatedModule * Rename UnitId type into Unit * Rename IndefiniteUnitId constructor into VirtUnit * Rename DefiniteUnitId constructor into RealUnit * Rename packageConfigId into mkUnit * Rename getPackageDetails into unsafeGetUnitInfo * Rename InstalledUnitId into UnitId Remove references to misleading ComponentId: a ComponentId is just an indefinite unit-id to be instantiated. * Rename ComponentId into IndefUnitId * Rename ComponentDetails into UnitPprInfo * Fix display of UnitPprInfo with empty version: this is now used for units dynamically generated by BackPack Generalize several types (Module, Unit, etc.) so that they can be used with different unit identifier types: UnitKey, UnitId, Unit, etc. * GenModule: Module, InstantiatedModule and InstalledModule are now instances of this type * Generalize DefUnitId, IndefUnitId, Unit, InstantiatedUnit, PackageDatabase Replace BackPack fake "hole" UnitId by a proper HoleUnit constructor. Add basic support for UnitKey. They should be used more in the future to avoid mixing them up with UnitId as we do now. Add many comments. Update Haddock submodule
* Make boxed 1-tuples have known keysRyan Scott2020-04-283-8/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike other tuples, which use special syntax and are "known" by way of a special `isBuiltInOcc_maybe` code path, boxed 1-tuples do not use special syntax. Therefore, in order to make sure that the internals of GHC are aware of the `data Unit a = Unit a` definition in `GHC.Tuple`, we give `Unit` known keys. For the full details, see `Note [One-tuples] (Wrinkle: Make boxed one-tuple names have known keys)` in `GHC.Builtin.Types`. Fixes #18097.
