* Make profiling work with multiple capabilities (+RTS -N)Simon Marlow2011-11-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This means that both time and heap profiling work for parallel programs. Main internal changes: - CCCS is no longer a global variable; it is now another pseudo-register in the StgRegTable struct. Thus every Capability has its own CCCS. - There is a new built-in CCS called "IDLE", which records ticks for Capabilities in the idle state. If you profile a single-threaded program with +RTS -N2, you'll see about 50% of time in "IDLE". - There is appropriate locking in rts/Profiling.c to protect the shared cost-centre-stack data structures. This patch does enough to get it working, I have cut one big corner: the cost-centre-stack data structure is still shared amongst all Capabilities, which means that multiple Capabilities will race when updating the "allocations" and "entries" fields of a CCS. Not only does this give unpredictable results, but it runs very slowly due to cache line bouncing. It is strongly recommended that you use -fno-prof-count-entries to disable the "entries" count when profiling parallel programs. (I shall add a note to this effect to the docs).
* GHC gets a new constraint solver. More efficient and smaller in size.Dimitrios Vytiniotis2011-11-161-4/+14

* Use -fwarn-tabs when validatingIan Lynagh2011-11-041-0/+7
| | | | | We only use it for "compiler" sources, i.e. not for libraries. Many modules have a -fno-warn-tabs kludge for now.
* More refactoring (CgRep)Simon Peyton Jones2011-08-251-1/+0
| | | | | | * Move CgRep (private to old codgen) from SMRep to ClosureInfo * Avoid using CgRep in new codegen * Move SMRep and Bitmap from codeGen/ to cmm/
* Add two new primops:Simon Marlow2011-06-281-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | seq# :: a -> State# s -> (# State# s, a #) spark# :: a -> State# s -> (# State# s, a #) seq# is a version of seq that can be used in a State#-passing context. We will use it to implement Control.Exception.evaluate and thus fix #5129. Also we have plans to use it to fix #5262. spark# is to seq# as par is to pseq. That is, it creates a spark in a State#-passing context. We will use spark# and seq# to implement rpar and rseq respectively in an improved implementation of the Eval monad.
* Merge in new code generator branch.Simon Marlow2011-01-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Merging in the new codegen branchdias@eecs.harvard.edu2008-08-141-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* replace Cmm 'hint' with 'kind'Norman Ramsey2008-05-031-1/+1
| | | | | | C-- no longer has 'hints'; to guide parameter passing, it has 'kinds'. Renamed type constructor, data constructor, and record fields accordingly
* change CmmActual, CmmFormal to use a data CmmHinted rather than tuple (#1405)Isaac Dupree2008-01-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | This allows the instance of UserOfLocalRegs to be within Haskell98, and IMHO makes the code a little cleaner generally. This is one small (though tedious) step towards making GHC's code more portable...
* Fix CodingStyle#Warnings URLsIan Lynagh2007-09-041-1/+1
|
* Use OPTIONS rather than OPTIONS_GHC for pragmasIan Lynagh2007-09-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | 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.
* Add {-# OPTIONS_GHC -w #-} and some blurb to all compiler modulesIan Lynagh2007-09-011-0/+7

* Change the strategy to determine dynamic data accessClemens Fruhwirth2007-07-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Added an SRT to each CmmCall and added the current SRT to the CgMonadMichael D. Adams2007-06-271-16/+14

* Added pointerhood to LocalRegMichael D. Adams2007-06-271-8/+10
| | | | | | 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.

* Remove vectored returns.Simon Marlow2007-02-281-20/+12
| | | | | We recently discovered that they aren't a win any more, and just cost code size.
* Semi-tagging optimisationSimon Marlow2007-01-221-87/+12
| | | | | | In the generated code for case-of-variable, test the tag of the scrutinee closure and only enter if it is unevaluated. Also turn *off* vectored returns.

* Module header tidyup, phase 1Simon Marlow2006-10-111-43/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Generalise Package SupportSimon Marlow2006-07-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Reorganisation of the source treeSimon Marlow2006-04-071-0/+634
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.
