* [iserv] Fixing the word size for RemotePtr and toWordArrayBen Gamari2017-07-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we load non absolute pathed .so's this usually implies that we expect the system to have them in place already, and hence we should not need to ship them. Without the absolute path to the library, we are also unable to open and send said library. Thus we'll do library shipping only for libraries with absolute paths. When dealing with a host and target of different word size (say host hast 64bit, target has 32bit), we need to fix the RemotePtr size and the toWordArray function, as they are part of the iserv ResolvedBCO binary protocol. This needs to be word size independent. The choice for RemotePtr to 64bit was made to ensure we can store 64bit pointers when targeting 64bit. The choice for 32bit word arrays was made wrt. encoding/decoding on the potentially slower device. The efficient serialization code has been graciously provided by @bgamari.

* Allow top-level string literals in Core (#8472)Takano Akio2017-01-201-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 was necessary to keep them functional after the above changes. This is a continuation of D2554. Rebasing notes: This had two slightly suspicious performance regressions: * T12425: bytes allocated regressed by roughly 5% * T4029: bytes allocated regressed by a bit over 1% * T13035: bytes allocated regressed by a bit over 5% These deserve additional investigation.

* Enable stack traces with ghci -fexternal-interpreter -profSimon Marlow2016-01-081-16/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: The main goal here is enable stack traces in GHCi. After this change, if you start GHCi like this: ghci -fexternal-interpreter -prof (which requires packages to be built for profiling, but not GHC itself) then the interpreter manages cost-centre stacks during execution and can produce a stack trace on request. Call locations are available for all interpreted code, and any compiled code that was built with the `-fprof-auto` familiy of flags. There are a couple of ways to get a stack trace: * `error`/`undefined` automatically get one attached * `Debug.Trace.traceStack` can be used anywhere, and prints the current stack Because the interpreter is running in a separate process, only the interpreted code is running in profiled mode and the compiler itself isn't slowed down by profiling. The GHCi debugger still doesn't work with -fexternal-interpreter, although this patch gets it a step closer. Most of the functionality of breakpoints is implemented, but the runtime value introspection is still not supported. Along the way I also did some refactoring and added type arguments to the various remote pointer types in `GHCi.RemotePtr`, so there's better type safety and documentation in the bridge code between GHC and ghc-iserv.

* Remove some redundant definitions/constraintsHerbert Valerio Riedel2015-12-311-1/+0
| | | | | | Starting with GHC 7.10 and base-4.8, `Monad` implies `Applicative`, which allows to simplify some definitions to exploit the superclass relationship. This a first refactoring to that end.

| | | | | | | | | | | | 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!

* Maintain cost-centre stacks in the interpreterSimon Marlow2015-12-211-14/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Breakpoints become SCCs, so we have detailed call-stack info for interpreted code. Currently this only works when GHC is compiled with -prof, but D1562 (Remote GHCi) removes this constraint so that in the future call stacks will be available without building your own GHCi. How can you get a stack trace? * programmatically: GHC.Stack.currentCallStack * I've added an experimental :where command that shows the stack when stopped at a breakpoint * `error` attaches a call stack automatically, although since calls to `error` are often lifted out to the top level, this is less useful than it might be (ImplicitParams still works though). * Later we might attach call stacks to all exceptions Other related changes in this diff: * I reduced the number of places that get ticks attached for breakpoints. In particular there was a breakpoint around the whole declaration, which was often redundant because it bound no variables. This reduces clutter in the stack traces and speeds up compilation. * I tidied up some RealSrcSpan stuff in InteractiveUI, and made a few other small cleanups Test Plan: validate Reviewers: ezyang, bgamari, austin, hvr Subscribers: thomie Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1595 GHC Trac Issues: #11047
* Remote GHCi, -fexternal-interpreterSimon Marlow2015-12-171-75/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: (Apologies for the size of this patch, I couldn't make a smaller one that was validate-clean and also made sense independently) (Some of this code is derived from GHCJS.) This commit adds support for running interpreted code (for GHCi and TemplateHaskell) in a separate process. The functionality is experimental, so for now it is off by default and enabled by the flag -fexternal-interpreter. Reaosns we want this: * compiling Template Haskell code with -prof does not require building the code without -prof first * when GHC itself is profiled, it can interpret unprofiled code, and the same applies to dynamic linking. We would no longer need to force -dynamic-too with TemplateHaskell, and we can load ordinary objects into a dynamically-linked GHCi (and vice versa). * An unprofiled GHCi can load and run profiled code, which means it can use the stack-trace functionality provided by profiling without taking the performance hit on the compiler that profiling would entail. Amongst other things; see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/RemoteGHCi for more details. Notes on the implementation are in Note [Remote GHCi] in the new module compiler/ghci/GHCi.hs. It probably needs more documenting, feel free to suggest things I could elaborate on. Things that are not currently implemented for -fexternal-interpreter: * The GHCi debugger * :set prog, :set args in GHCi * `recover` in Template Haskell * Redirecting stdin/stdout for the external process These are all doable, I just wanted to get to a working validate-clean patch first. I also haven't done any benchmarking yet. I expect there to be slight hit to link times for byte code and some penalty due to having to serialize/deserialize TH syntax, but I don't expect it to be a serious problem. There's also lots of low-hanging fruit in the byte code generator/linker that we could exploit to speed things up. Test Plan: * validate * I've run parts of the test suite with EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-fexternal-interpreter, notably tests/ghci and tests/th. There are a few failures due to the things not currently implemented (see above).

* Rename some of the functions in NameSet, to make the uniform with VarSet etcSimon Peyton Jones2014-11-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For ages NameSet has used different names, eg. addOneToNameSet rather than extendNameSet nameSetToList rather than nameSetElems etc. Other set-like modules use uniform naming conventions. This patch makes NameSet follow suit. No change in behaviour; this is just renaming. I'm doing this just before the fork so that merging is easier.
