Except for CgUtils.fixStgRegisters that is used in the NCG and LLVM
backends, and should probably be moved somewhere else.

I've switched to passing DynFlags rather than Platform, as (a) it's
simpler to not have to extract targetPlatform in so many places, and
(b) it may be useful to have DynFlags around in future.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
We can now get the Platform from the DynFlags inside an SDoc, so we
no longer need to pass the Platform in.

We only use it for "compiler" sources, i.e. not for libraries.
Many modules have a -fno-warn-tabs kludge for now.

This changes the new code generator to make use of the Hoopl package
for dataflow analysis. Hoopl is a new boot package, and is maintained
in a separate upstream git repository (as usual, GHC has its own
lagging darcs mirror in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hoopl).
During this merge I squashed recent history into one patch. I tried
to rebase, but the history had some internal conflicts of its own
which made rebase extremely confusing, so I gave up. The history I
squashed was:
- Update new codegen to work with latest Hoopl
- Add some notes on new code gen to cmm-notes
- Enable Hoopl lag package.
- Add SPJ note to cmm-notes
- Improve GC calls on new code generator.
Work in this branch was done by:
- Milan Straka <fox@ucw.cz>
- John Dias <dias@cs.tufts.edu>
- David Terei <davidterei@gmail.com>
Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@mit.edu> merged in further changes from GHC HEAD
and fixed a few bugs.

This merge does not turn on the new codegen (which only compiles
a select few programs at this point),
but it does introduce some changes to the old code generator.
The high bits:
1. The Rep Swamp patch is finally here.
The highlight is that the representation of types at the
machine level has changed.
Consequently, this patch contains updates across several back ends.
2. The new Stg -> Cmm path is here, although it appears to have a
fair number of bugs lurking.
3. Many improvements along the CmmCPSZ path, including:
o stack layout
o some code for infotables, half of which is right and half wrong
o proc-point splitting

Modules that need it import it themselves instead.

I've renamed a number of type and data constructors within Cmm so that
the names used in the compiler may more closely reflect the C--
specification 2.1. I've done a bit of other renaming as well.
Highlights:
CmmFormal and CmmActual now bear a CmmKind (which for now is a
MachHint as before)
CmmFormals = [CmmFormal] and CmmActuals = [CmmActual]
suitable changes have been made to both code and nonterminals in the
Cmm parser (which is as yet untested)
For reasons I don't understand, parts of the code generator use a
sequence of 'formal parameters' with no C-- kinds. For these we now
have the types
type CmmFormalWithoutKind = LocalReg
type CmmFormalsWithoutKinds = [CmmFormalWithoutKind]
A great many appearances of (Tau, MachHint) have been simplified to
the appropriate CmmFormal or CmmActual, though I'm sure there are
more opportunities.
Kind and its data constructors are now renamed to
data GCKind = GCKindPtr | GCKindNonPtr
to avoid confusion with the Kind used in the type checker and with CmmKind.
Finally, in a somewhat unrelated bit (and in honor of Simon PJ, who
thought of the name), the Whalley/Davidson 'transaction limit' is now
called 'OptimizationFuel' with the net effect that there are no longer
two unrelated uses of the abbreviation 'tx'.

Older GHCs can't parse OPTIONS_GHC.
This also changes the URL referenced for the -w options from
WorkingConventions#Warnings to CodingStyle#Warnings for the compiler
modules.

Instead of attaching the information whether a Label is going to be
accessed dynamically or not (distinction between IdLabel/DynLabel and
additional flags in ModuleInitLabel and PlainModuleInitLabel), we hand
dflags through the CmmOpt monad and the NatM monad. Before calling
labelDynamic in PositionIndependentCode, we extract thisPackage from
dflags and supply the current package to labelDynamic, so it can take
this information into account instead of extracting it from the labels
itself. This simplifies a lot of code in codeGen that just hands
through this_pkg.

This patch implements pointer tagging as per our ICFP'07 paper "Faster
laziness using dynamic pointer tagging". It improves performance by
10-15% for most workloads, including GHC itself.
The original patches were by Alexey Rodriguez Yakushev
<mrchebas@gmail.com>, with additions and improvements by me. I've
re-recorded the development as a single patch.
The basic idea is this: we use the low 2 bits of a pointer to a heap
object (3 bits on a 64-bit architecture) to encode some information
about the object pointed to. For a constructor, we encode the "tag"
of the constructor (e.g. True vs. False), for a function closure its
arity. This enables some decisions to be made without dereferencing
the pointer, which speeds up some common operations. In particular it
enables us to avoid costly indirect jumps in many cases.

This version should compile but is still incomplete as it introduces
potential bugs at the places marked 'TODO FIXME NOW'.
It is being recorded to help keep track of changes.

This patch is a start on removing import lists and generally tidying
up the top of each module. In addition to removing import lists:
- Change DATA.IOREF -> Data.IORef etc.
- Change List -> Data.List etc.
- Remove $Id$
- Update copyrights
- Re-order imports to put non-GHC imports last
- Remove some unused and duplicate imports

This patch pushes through one fundamental change: a module is now
identified by the pair of its package and module name, whereas
previously it was identified by its module name alone. This means
that now a program can contain multiple modules with the same name, as
long as they belong to different packages.
This is a language change - the Haskell report says nothing about
packages, but it is now necessary to understand packages in order to
understand GHC's module system. For example, a type T from module M
in package P is different from a type T from module M in package Q.
Previously this wasn't an issue because there could only be a single
module M in the program.
The "module restriction" on combining packages has therefore been
lifted, and a program can contain multiple versions of the same
package.
Note that none of the proposed syntax changes have yet been
implemented, but the architecture is geared towards supporting import
declarations qualified by package name, and that is probably the next
step.
It is now necessary to specify the package name when compiling a
package, using the -package-name flag (which has been un-deprecated).
Fortunately Cabal still uses -package-name.
Certain packages are "wired in". Currently the wired-in packages are:
base, haskell98, template-haskell and rts, and are always referred to
by these versionless names. Other packages are referred to with full
package IDs (eg. "network-1.0"). This is because the compiler needs
to refer to entities in the wired-in packages, and we didn't want to
bake the version of these packages into the comiler. It's conceivable
that someone might want to upgrade the base package independently of
GHC.
Internal changes:
- There are two module-related types:
ModuleName just a FastString, the name of a module
Module a pair of a PackageId and ModuleName
A mapping from ModuleName can be a UniqFM, but a mapping from Module
must be a FiniteMap (we provide it as ModuleEnv).
- The "HomeModules" type that was passed around the compiler is now
gone, replaced in most cases by the current package name which is
contained in DynFlags. We can tell whether a Module comes from the
current package by comparing its package name against the current
package.
- While I was here, I changed PrintUnqual to be a little more useful:
it now returns the ModuleName that the identifier should be qualified
with according to the current scope, rather than its original
module. Also, PrintUnqual tells whether to qualify module names with
package names (currently unused).
Docs to follow.

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
