* Refactor package importsSylvain Henry2021-10-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Use an (Raw)PkgQual datatype instead of `Maybe FastString` to represent package imports. Factorize the code that renames RawPkgQual into PkgQual in function `rnPkgQual`. Renaming consists in checking if the FastString is the magic "this" keyword, the home-unit unit-id or something else. Bump haddock submodule
* Canonicalize bignum literalsSylvain Henry2021-09-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch Integer and Natural literals were desugared into "real" Core in Core prep. Now we desugar them directly into their final ConApp form in HsToCore. We only keep the double representation for BigNat# (literals larger than a machine Word/Int) which are still desugared in Core prep. Using the final form directly allows case-of-known-constructor to fire for bignum literals, fixing #20245. Slight increase (+2.3) in T4801 which is a pathological case with Integer literals.

* Add rewriting to typechecking pluginssheaf2021-08-131-30/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Type-checking plugins can now directly rewrite type-families. The TcPlugin record is given a new field, tcPluginRewrite. The plugin specifies how to rewrite certain type-families with a value of type `UniqFM TyCon TcPluginRewriter`, where: type TcPluginRewriter = RewriteEnv -- Rewriter environment -> [Ct] -- Givens -> [TcType] -- type family arguments -> TcPluginM TcPluginRewriteResult data TcPluginRewriteResult = TcPluginNoRewrite | TcPluginRewriteTo { tcPluginRewriteTo :: Reduction , tcRewriterNewWanteds :: [Ct] } When rewriting an exactly-saturated type-family application, GHC will first query type-checking plugins for possible rewritings before proceeding. Includes some changes to the TcPlugin API, e.g. removal of the EvBindsVar parameter to the TcPluginM monad.
* Use Reductions to keep track of rewritingssheaf2021-08-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We define Reduction = Reduction Coercion !Type. A reduction of the form 'Reduction co new_ty' witnesses an equality ty ~co~> new_ty. That is, the rewriting happens left-to-right: the right-hand-side type of the coercion is the rewritten type, and the left-hand-side type the original type. Sticking to this convention makes the codebase more consistent, helping to avoid certain applications of SymCo. This replaces the parts of the codebase which represented reductions as pairs, (Coercion,Type) or (Type,Coercion). Reduction being strict in the Type argument improves performance in some programs that rewrite many type families (such as T9872).

The key new innovation is the CanEqLHS type and the new CEqCan constraint (Ct). A CanEqLHS is either a type variable or exactly-saturated type family application; either can now be rewritten using a CEqCan constraint in the inert set. Because the flattener no longer reduces all type family applications to variables, there was some performance degradation if a lengthy type family application is now flattened over and over (not making progress). To compensate, this patch contains some extra optimizations in the flattener, leading to a number of performance improvements. Close #18875. Close #18910. There are many extra parts of the compiler that had to be affected in writing this patch: * The family-application cache (formerly the flat-cache) sometimes stores coercions built from Given inerts. When these inerts get kicked out, we must kick out from the cache as well. (This was, I believe, true previously, but somehow never caused trouble.) Kicking out from the cache requires adding a filterTM function to TrieMap. * This patch obviates the need to distinguish "blocking" coercion holes from non-blocking ones (which, previously, arose from CFunEqCans). There is thus some simplification around coercion holes. * Extra commentary throughout parts of the code I read through, to preserve the knowledge I gained while working. * A change in the pure unifier around unifying skolems with other types. Unifying a skolem now leads to SurelyApart, not MaybeApart, as documented in Note [Binding when looking up instances] in GHC.Core.InstEnv. * Some more use of MCoercion where appropriate. * Previously, class-instance lookup automatically noticed that e.g. C Int was a "unifier" to a target [W] C (F Bool), because the F Bool was flattened to a variable. Now, a little more care must be taken around checking for unifying instances. * Previously, tcSplitTyConApp_maybe would split (Eq a => a). This is silly, because (=>) is not a tycon in Haskell. Fixed now, but there are some knock-on changes in e.g. TrieMap code and in the canonicaliser. * New function anyFreeVarsOf{Type,Co} to check whether a free variable satisfies a certain predicate. * Type synonyms now remember whether or not they are "forgetful"; a forgetful synonym drops at least one argument. This is useful when flattening; see flattenView. * The pattern-match completeness checker invokes the solver. This invocation might need to look through newtypes when checking representational equality. Thus, the desugarer needs to keep track of the in-scope variables to know what newtype constructors are in scope. I bet this bug was around before but never noticed. * Extra-constraints wildcards are no longer simplified before printing. See Note [Do not simplify ConstraintHoles] in GHC.Tc.Solver. * Whether or not there are Given equalities has become slightly subtler. See the new HasGivenEqs datatype. * Note [Type variable cycles in Givens] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical explains a significant new wrinkle in the new approach. * See Note [What might match later?] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact, which explains the fix to #18910. * The inert_count field of InertCans wasn't actually used, so I removed it. Though I (Richard) did the implementation, Simon PJ was very involved in design and review. This updates the Haddock submodule to avoid #18932 by adding a type signature. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T12227 T5030 T9872a T9872b T9872c Metric Increase: T9872d -------------------------
* Split GHC.Driver.TypesSylvain Henry2020-10-291-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
