* Add GHC-API logging hooksSylvain Henry2019-12-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Add 'dumpAction' hook to DynFlags. It allows GHC API users to catch dumped intermediate codes and information. The format of the dump (Core, Stg, raw text, etc.) is now reported allowing easier automatic handling. * Add 'traceAction' hook to DynFlags. Some dumps go through the trace mechanism (for instance unfoldings that have been considered for inlining). This is problematic because: 1) dumps aren't written into files even with -ddump-to-file on 2) dumps are written on stdout even with GHC API 3) in this specific case, dumping depends on unsafe globally stored DynFlags which is bad for GHC API users We introduce 'traceAction' hook which allows GHC API to catch those traces and to avoid using globally stored DynFlags. * Avoid dumping empty logs via dumpAction/traceAction (but still write empty files to keep the existing behavior)
* Split up coercionKindSimon Peyton Jones2019-12-061-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the idea in #17515, splitting `coercionKind` into: * `coercion{Left,Right}Kind`, which computes the left/right side of the pair * `coercionKind`, which computes the pair of coercible types This is reduces allocation since we frequently only need only one side of the pair. Specifically, we see the following improvements on x86-64 Debian 9: | test | new | old | relative chg. | | :------- | ---------: | ------------: | ------------: | | T5030 | 695537752 | 747641152.0 | -6.97% | | T5321Fun | 449315744 | 474009040.0 | -5.21% | | T9872a | 2611071400 | 2645040952.0 | -1.28% | | T9872c | 2957097904 | 2994260264.0 | -1.24% | | T12227 | 773435072 | 812367768.0 | -4.79% | | T12545 | 3142687224 | 3215714752.0 | -2.27% | | T14683 | 9392407664 | 9824775000.0 | -4.40% | Metric Decrease: T12545 T9872a T14683 T5030 T12227 T9872c T5321Fun T9872b
* Make CorePrep.tryEtaReducePrep and CoreUtils.tryEtaReduce line upMatheus Magalhães de Alcantara2019-11-231-20/+8
| | | | | | | Simon PJ says he prefers this fix to #17429 over banning eta-reduction for jumps entirely. Sure enough, this also works. Test case: simplCore/should_compile/T17429.hs
* Take care to not eta-reduce jumps in CorePrepMatheus Magalhães de Alcantara2019-11-231-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CorePrep already had a check to prevent it from eta-reducing Ids that respond true to hasNoBinding (foreign calls, constructors for unboxed sums and products, and Ids with compulsory unfoldings). It did not, however, consider join points as ids that 'must be saturated'. Checking whether the Id responds True to 'isJoinId' should prevent CorePrep from turning saturated jumps like the following (from #17429) into undersaturated ones: (\ eta_XP -> join { mapped_s1vo _ = lvl_s1vs } in jump mapped_s1vo eta_XP)
* Better arity for join pointsSimon Peyton Jones2019-10-281-0/+1
| | | | | | A join point was getting too large an arity, leading to #17294. I've tightened up the invariant: see CoreSyn, Note [Invariants on join points], invariant 2b
* Make dynflag argument for withTiming pure.Andreas Klebinger2019-10-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | 19 times out of 20 we already have dynflags in scope. We could just always use `return dflags`. But this is in fact not free. When looking at some STG code I noticed that we always allocate a closure for this expression in the heap. Clearly a waste in these cases. For the other cases we can either just modify the callsite to get dynflags or use the _D variants of withTiming I added which will use getDynFlags under the hood.
* Fix bogus type of case expressionwip/T17056Simon Peyton Jones2019-09-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Issue #17056 revealed that we were sometimes building a case expression whose type field (in the Case constructor) was bogus. Consider a phantom type synonym type S a = Int and we want to form the case expression case x of K (a::*) -> (e :: S a) We must not make the type field of the Case constructor be (S a) because 'a' isn't in scope. We must instead expand the synonym. Changes in this patch: * Expand synonyms in the new function CoreUtils.mkSingleAltCase. * Use mkSingleAltCase in MkCore.wrapFloat, which was the proximate source of the bug (when called by exprIsConApp_maybe) * Use mkSingleAltCase elsewhere * Documentation CoreSyn new invariant (6) in Note [Case expression invariants] CoreSyn Note [Why does Case have a 'Type' field?] CoreUtils Note [Care with the type of a case expression] * I improved Core Lint's error reporting, which was pretty confusing in this case, because it didn't mention that the offending type was the return type of a case expression. * A little bit of cosmetic refactoring in CoreUtils
* Don't eta-expand unsaturated primopsBen Gamari2019-06-251-3/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | Previously, as described in Note [Primop wrappers], `hasNoBinding` would return False in the case of `PrimOpId`s. This would result in eta expansion of unsaturated primop applications during CorePrep. Not only did this expansion result in unnecessary allocations, but it also meant lead to rather nasty inconsistencies between the CAFfy-ness determinations made by TidyPgm and CorePrep. This fixes #16846.
* Move 'Platform' to ghc-bootJohn Ericson2019-06-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | ghc-pkg needs to be aware of platforms so it can figure out which subdire within the user package db to use. This is admittedly roundabout, but maybe Cabal could use the same notion of a platform as GHC to good affect too.
* Remove all target-specific portions of Config.hsJohn Ericson2019-05-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. If GHC is to be multi-target, these cannot be baked in at compile time. 2. Compile-time flags have a higher maintenance than run-time flags. 3. The old way makes build system implementation (various bootstrapping details) with the thing being built. E.g. GHC doesn't need to care about which integer library *will* be used---this is purely a crutch so the build system doesn't need to pass flags later when using that library. 4. Experience with cross compilation in Nixpkgs has shown things work nicer when compiler's can *optionally* delegate the bootstrapping the package manager. The package manager knows the entire end-goal build plan, and thus can make top-down decisions on bootstrapping. GHC can just worry about GHC, not even core library like base and ghc-prim!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a fairly long-standing bug (dating back to 2015) in RdrName.bestImport, namely commit 9376249b6b78610db055a10d05f6592d6bbbea2f Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> Date: Wed Oct 28 17:16:55 2015 +0000 Fix unused-import stuff in a better way In that patch got the sense of the comparison back to front, and thereby failed to implement the unused-import rules described in Note [Choosing the best import declaration] in RdrName This led to Trac #13064 and #15393 Fixing this bug revealed a bunch of unused imports in libraries; the ones in the GHC repo are part of this commit. The two important changes are * Fix the bug in bestImport * Modified the rules by adding (a) in Note [Choosing the best import declaration] in RdrName Reason: the previosu rules made Trac #5211 go bad again. And the new rule (a) makes sense to me. In unravalling this I also ended up doing a few other things * Refactor RnNames.ImportDeclUsage to use a [GlobalRdrElt] for the things that are used, rather than [AvailInfo]. This is simpler and more direct. * Rename greParentName to greParent_maybe, to follow GHC naming conventions * Delete dead code RdrName.greUsedRdrName Bumps a few submodules.

* Rename literal constructorsSylvain Henry2018-11-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a previous patch we replaced some built-in literal constructors (MachInt, MachWord, etc.) with a single LitNumber constructor. In this patch we replace the `Mach` prefix of the remaining constructors with `Lit` for consistency (e.g., LitChar, LitLabel, etc.). Sadly the name `LitString` was already taken for a kind of FastString and it would become misleading to have both `LitStr` (literal constructor renamed after `MachStr`) and `LitString` (FastString variant). Hence this patch renames the FastString variant `PtrString` (which is more accurate) and the literal string constructor now uses the least surprising `LitString` name. Both `Literal` and `LitString/PtrString` have recently seen breaking changes so doing this kind of renaming now shouldn't harm much.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See #15696 for more details. We now always enter dataToTag# argument (done in generated Cmm, in StgCmmExpr). Any high-level optimisations on dataToTag# applications are done by the simplifier. Looking at tag bits (instead of reading the info table) for small types is left to another diff. Incorrect test T14626 is removed. We no longer do this optimisation (see comment:44, comment:45, comment:60). Comments and notes about special cases around dataToTag# are removed. We no longer have any special cases around it in Core. Other changes related to evaluating primops (seq# and dataToTag#) will be pursued in follow-up diffs.

* Make GHC (the library) flexible in the choice of integer libraryJoachim Breitner2018-10-031-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: We have more and more users of GHC as a library, for example the Haskell-to-WebAssembly-compiler https://github.com/tweag/asterius. These need to make different decisions about various aspects of code generation than the host compiler, and ideally GHC-the-library allows them to set the `DynFlags` as needed. This patch adds a new `DynFlag` that configures which `integer` library to use. This flag is initialized by `cIntegerLibraryType` (as before), and is only used in `CorePrep` to decide whether to use `S#` or not. The other code paths that were varying based on `cIntegerLibraryType` are no now longer varying: The trick is to use `integer-wired-in` as the `-this-unit-id` when compiling either `integer-gmp` or `integer-simple`.

* Collect CCs in CorePrep, including CCs in unfoldingsÖmer Sinan Ağacan2018-02-131-5/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch includes two changes: 1. Move cost centre collection from `SCCfinal` to `CorePrep`, to be able to collect cost centres in unfoldings. `CorePrep` drops unfoldings, so that's the latest stage in the compilation pipeline for this. After this change `SCCfinal` no longer collects all cost centres, but it still generates & collects CAF cost centres + updates cost centre stacks of `StgRhsClosure` and `StgRhsCon`s. This fixes #5889. 2. Initialize cost centre stack fields of `StgRhs` in `coreToStg`. With this we no longer need to update cost centre stack fields in `SCCfinal`, so that module is removed. Cost centre initialization explained in Note [Cost-centre initialization plan]. Because with -fcaf-all we need to attach a new cost-centre to each CAF, `coreTopBindToStg` now returns `CollectedCCs`.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commits relaxes the invariants of the Core syntax so that a top-level variable can be bound to a primitive string literal of type Addr#. This commit: * Relaxes the invatiants of the Core, and allows top-level bindings whose type is Addr# as long as their RHS is either a primitive string literal or another variable. * Allows the simplifier and the full-laziness transformer to float out primitive string literals to the top leve. * Introduces the new StgGenTopBinding type to accomodate top-level Addr# bindings. * Introduces a new type of labels in the object code, with the suffix "_bytes", for exported top-level Addr# bindings. * Makes some built-in rules more robust.

This patch takes all uses of `ptext . sLit` in the compiler and replaces them with calls to `text`. The main benefits of this patch are clener (shorter) code and less dependencies between module, because many modules now do not need to import `FastString`.

* Drop pre-AMP compatibility CPP conditionalsHerbert Valerio Riedel2015-12-311-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since GHC 8.1/8.2 only needs to be bootstrap-able by GHC 7.10 and GHC 8.0 (and GHC 8.2), we can now finally drop all that pre-AMP compatibility CPP-mess for good!

* Improve the runRW magic in CorePrepSimon Peyton Jones2015-12-241-12/+8
| | | | | | | | Instead of substituting, just augment the environment. Less code, more efficient. And the previous version had a bogus in-scope set which triggered a WARNING
* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-111-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the ideas originally put forward in "System FC with Explicit Kind Equality" (ICFP'13). There are several noteworthy changes with this patch: * We now have casts in types. These change the kind of a type. See new constructor `CastTy`. * All types and all constructors can be promoted. This includes GADT constructors. GADT pattern matches take place in type family equations. In Core, types can now be applied to coercions via the `CoercionTy` constructor. * Coercions can now be heterogeneous, relating types of different kinds. A coercion proving `t1 :: k1 ~ t2 :: k2` proves both that `t1` and `t2` are the same and also that `k1` and `k2` are the same. * The `Coercion` type has been significantly enhanced. The documentation in `docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf` reflects the new reality. * The type of `*` is now `*`. No more `BOX`. * Users can write explicit kind variables in their code, anywhere they can write type variables. For backward compatibility, automatic inference of kind-variable binding is still permitted. * The new extension `TypeInType` turns on the new user-facing features. * Type families and synonyms are now promoted to kinds. This causes trouble with parsing `*`, leading to the somewhat awkward new `HsAppsTy` constructor for `HsType`. This is dispatched with in the renamer, where the kind `*` can be told apart from a type-level multiplication operator. Without `-XTypeInType` the old behavior persists. With `-XTypeInType`, you need to import `Data.Kind` to get `*`, also known as `Type`. * The kind-checking algorithms in TcHsType have been significantly rewritten to allow for enhanced kinds. * The new features are still quite experimental and may be in flux. * TODO: Several open tickets: #11195, #11196, #11197, #11198, #11203. * TODO: Update user manual. Tickets addressed: #9017, #9173, #7961, #10524, #8566, #11142. Updates Haddock submodule.
