* Ticky: Gate tag-inference dummy ticky-counters behind a flag.Andreas Klebinger2022-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Tag inference included a way to collect stats about avoided tag-checks. This was dony by emitting "dummy" ticky entries with counts corresponding to predicted/unpredicated tag checks. This behaviour for ticky is now gated behind -fticky-tag-checks. I also documented ticky-LNE in the process.

This will allow both GHCi and HLS to support multi component projects more naturally. Public Interface ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to specify multiple units, the -unit @⟨filename⟩ flag is given multiple times with a response file containing the arguments for each unit. The response file contains a newline separated list of arguments. ``` ghc -unit @unitLibCore -unit @unitLib ``` where the `unitLibCore` response file contains the normal arguments that cabal would pass to `--make` mode. ``` -this-unit-id lib-core-0.1.0.0 -i -isrc LibCore.Utils LibCore.Types ``` The response file for lib, can specify a dependency on lib-core, so then modules in lib can use modules from lib-core. ``` -this-unit-id lib-0.1.0.0 -package-id lib-core-0.1.0.0 -i -isrc Lib.Parse Lib.Render ``` Then when the compiler starts in --make mode it will compile both units lib and lib-core. There is also very basic support for multiple home units in GHCi, at the moment you can start a GHCi session with multiple units but only the :reload is supported. Most commands in GHCi assume a single home unit, and so it is additional work to work out how to modify the interface to support multiple loaded home units. Options used when working with Multiple Home Units There are a few extra flags which have been introduced specifically for working with multiple home units. The flags allow a home unit to pretend it’s more like an installed package, for example, specifying the package name, module visibility and reexported modules. -working-dir ⟨dir⟩ It is common to assume that a package is compiled in the directory where its cabal file resides. Thus, all paths used in the compiler are assumed to be relative to this directory. When there are multiple home units the compiler is often not operating in the standard directory and instead where the cabal.project file is located. In this case the -working-dir option can be passed which specifies the path from the current directory to the directory the unit assumes to be it’s root, normally the directory which contains the cabal file. When the flag is passed, any relative paths used by the compiler are offset by the working directory. Notably this includes -i and -I⟨dir⟩ flags. -this-package-name ⟨name⟩ This flag papers over the awkward interaction of the PackageImports and multiple home units. When using PackageImports you can specify the name of the package in an import to disambiguate between modules which appear in multiple packages with the same name. This flag allows a home unit to be given a package name so that you can also disambiguate between multiple home units which provide modules with the same name. -hidden-module ⟨module name⟩ This flag can be supplied multiple times in order to specify which modules in a home unit should not be visible outside of the unit it belongs to. The main use of this flag is to be able to recreate the difference between an exposed and hidden module for installed packages. -reexported-module ⟨module name⟩ This flag can be supplied multiple times in order to specify which modules are not defined in a unit but should be reexported. The effect is that other units will see this module as if it was defined in this unit. The use of this flag is to be able to replicate the reexported modules feature of packages with multiple home units. Offsetting Paths in Template Haskell splices ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When using Template Haskell to embed files into your program, traditionally the paths have been interpreted relative to the directory where the .cabal file resides. This causes problems for multiple home units as we are compiling many different libraries at once which have .cabal files in different directories. For this purpose we have introduced a way to query the value of the -working-dir flag to the Template Haskell API. By using this function we can implement a makeRelativeToProject function which offsets a path which is relative to the original project root by the value of -working-dir. ``` import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax ( makeRelativeToProject ) foo = $(makeRelativeToProject "./relative/path" >>= embedFile) ``` > If you write a relative path in a Template Haskell splice you should use the makeRelativeToProject function so that your library works correctly with multiple home units. A similar function already exists in the file-embed library. The function in template-haskell implements this function in a more robust manner by honouring the -working-dir flag rather than searching the file system. Closure Property for Home Units ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For tools or libraries using the API there is one very important closure property which must be adhered to: > Any dependency which is not a home unit must not (transitively) depend on a home unit. For example, if you have three packages p, q and r, then if p depends on q which depends on r then it is illegal to load both p and r as home units but not q, because q is a dependency of the home unit p which depends on another home unit r. If you are using GHC by the command line then this property is checked, but if you are using the API then you need to check this property yourself. If you get it wrong you will probably get some very confusing errors about overlapping instances. Limitations of Multiple Home Units ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are a few limitations of the initial implementation which will be smoothed out on user demand. * Package thinning/renaming syntax is not supported * More complicated reexports/renaming are not yet supported. * It’s more common to run into existing linker bugs when loading a large number of packages in a session (for example #20674, #20689) * Backpack is not yet supported when using multiple home units. * Dependency chasing can be quite slow with a large number of modules and packages. * Loading wired-in packages as home units is currently not supported (this only really affects GHC developers attempting to load template-haskell). * Barely any normal GHCi features are supported, it would be good to support enough for ghcid to work correctly. Despite these limitations, the implementation works already for nearly all packages. It has been testing on large dependency closures, including the whole of head.hackage which is a total of 4784 modules from 452 packages. Internal Changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The biggest change is that the HomePackageTable is replaced with the HomeUnitGraph. The HomeUnitGraph is a map from UnitId to HomeUnitEnv, which contains information specific to each home unit. * The HomeUnitEnv contains: - A unit state, each home unit can have different package db flags - A set of dynflags, each home unit can have different flags - A HomePackageTable * LinkNode: A new node type is added to the ModuleGraph, this is used to place the linking step into the build plan so linking can proceed in parralel with other packages being built. * New invariant: Dependencies of a ModuleGraphNode can be completely determined by looking at the value of the node. In order to achieve this, downsweep now performs a more complete job of downsweeping and then the dependenices are recorded forever in the node rather than being computed again from the ModSummary. * Some transitive module calculations are rewritten to use the ModuleGraph which is more efficient. * There is always an active home unit, which simplifies modifying a lot of the existing API code which is unit agnostic (for example, in the driver). The road may be bumpy for a little while after this change but the basics are well-tested. One small metric increase, which we accept and also submodule update to haddock which removes ExtendedModSummary.

* Avoid fingerprinting the absolute path to the source filePepe Iborra2021-05-261-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change aims to make source files relocatable w.r.t. to the interface files produced by the compiler. This is so that we can download interface files produced by a cloud build system and then reuse them in a local ghcide session catch another case of implicit includes actually use the implicit quote includes add another missing case recomp020 test that .hi files are reused even if .hs files are moved to a new location Added recomp021 to record behaviour with non implicit includes add a note additional pointer to the note Mention #16956 in Note
* Move Unit related fields from DynFlags to HscEnvSylvain Henry2020-12-141-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The unit database cache, the home unit and the unit state were stored in DynFlags while they ought to be stored in the compiler session state (HscEnv). This patch fixes this. It introduces a new UnitEnv type that should be used in the future to handle separate unit environments (especially host vs target units). Related to #17957 Bump haddock submodule
* Introduce -fprof-callers flagBen Gamari2020-11-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | This introducing a new compiler flag to provide a convenient way to introduce profiler cost-centers on all occurrences of the named identifier. Closes #18566.
* Split GHC.Driver.TypesSylvain Henry2020-10-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was working on making DynFlags stateless (#17957), especially by storing loaded plugins into HscEnv instead of DynFlags. It turned out to be complicated because HscEnv is in GHC.Driver.Types but LoadedPlugin isn't: it is in GHC.Driver.Plugins which depends on GHC.Driver.Types. I didn't feel like introducing yet another hs-boot file to break the loop. Additionally I remember that while we introduced the module hierarchy (#13009) we talked about splitting GHC.Driver.Types because it contained various unrelated types and functions, but we never executed. I didn't feel like making GHC.Driver.Types bigger with more unrelated Plugins related types, so finally I bit the bullet and split GHC.Driver.Types. As a consequence this patch moves a lot of things. I've tried to put them into appropriate modules but nothing is set in stone. Several other things moved to avoid loops. * Removed Binary instances from GHC.Utils.Binary for random compiler things * Moved Typeable Binary instances into GHC.Utils.Binary.Typeable: they import a lot of things that users of GHC.Utils.Binary don't want to depend on. * put everything related to Units/Modules under GHC.Unit: GHC.Unit.Finder, GHC.Unit.Module.{ModGuts,ModIface,Deps,etc.} * Created several modules under GHC.Types: GHC.Types.Fixity, SourceText, etc. * Split GHC.Utils.Error (into GHC.Types.Error) * Finally removed GHC.Driver.Types Note that this patch doesn't put loaded plugins into HscEnv. It's left for another patch. Bump haddock submodule
* Add mainModuleNameIs and demote mainModIsFendor2020-10-011-1/+1
| | | | | | Add `mainModuleNameIs` to DynFlags and demote `mainModIs` to function which uses the homeUnit from DynFlags it is created from.
* Add HomeUnit typeSylvain Henry2020-08-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since Backpack the "home unit" is much more involved than what it was before (just an identifier obtained with `-this-unit-id`). Now it is used in conjunction with `-component-id` and `-instantiated-with` to configure module instantiations and to detect if we are type-checking an indefinite unit or compiling a definite one. This patch introduces a new HomeUnit datatype which is much easier to understand. Moreover to make GHC support several packages in the same instances, we will need to handle several HomeUnits so having a dedicated (documented) type is helpful. Finally in #14335 we will also need to handle the case where we have no HomeUnit at all because we are only loading existing interfaces for plugins which live in a different space compared to units used to produce target code. Several functions will have to be refactored to accept "Maybe HomeUnit" parameters instead of implicitly querying the HomeUnit fields in DynFlags. Having a dedicated type will make this easier. Bump haddock submodule
* Replace Opt_SccProfilingOn flag with sccProfilingEnabled helper functionSylvain Henry2020-07-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | SCC profiling was enabled in a convoluted way: if WayProf was enabled, Opt_SccProfilingOn general flag was set (in `GHC.Driver.Ways.wayGeneralFlags`), and then this flag was queried in various places. There is no need to go via general flags, so this patch defines a `sccProfilingEnabled :: DynFlags -> Bool` helper function that just checks whether WayProf is enabled.
