* Remote GHCi: batch the creation of stringsSimon Marlow2016-02-021-1/+1

* Enable stack traces with ghci -fexternal-interpreter -profSimon Marlow2016-01-081-29/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* 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!

* Maintain cost-centre stacks in the interpreterSimon Marlow2015-12-211-13/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Marlow2015-12-171-90/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-111-2/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Create a deterministic version of tyVarsOfTypeBartosz Nitka2015-11-211-25/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've run into situations where I need deterministic `tyVarsOfType` and this implementation achieves that and also brings an algorithmic improvement. Union of two `VarSet`s takes linear time the size of the sets and in the worst case we can have `n` unions of sets of sizes `(n-1, 1), (n-2, 1)...` making it quadratic. One reason why we need deterministic `tyVarsOfType` is in `abstractVars` in `SetLevels`. When we abstract type variables when floating we want them to be abstracted in deterministic order.

* ApiAnnotations : strings in warnings do not return SourceTextAlan Zimmerman2015-06-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: The strings used in a WARNING pragma are captured via strings :: { Located ([AddAnn],[Located FastString]) } : STRING { sL1 $1 ([],[L (gl $1) (getSTRING $1)]) } .. The STRING token has a method getSTRINGs that returns the original source text for a string.
