* Allow packing constructor fieldsMichal Terepeta2017-10-291-1/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is another step for fixing #13825 and is based on D38 by Simon Marlow. The change allows storing multiple constructor fields within the same word. This currently applies only to `Float`s, e.g., ``` data Foo = Foo {-# UNPACK #-} !Float {-# UNPACK #-} !Float ``` on 64-bit arch, will now store both fields within the same constructor word. For `WordX/IntX` we'll need to introduce new primop types. Main changes: - We now use sizes in bytes when we compute the offsets for constructor fields in `StgCmmLayout` and introduce padding if necessary (word-sized fields are still word-aligned) - `ByteCodeGen` had to be updated to correctly construct the data types. This required some new bytecode instructions to allow pushing things that are not full words onto the stack (and updating `Interpreter.c`). Note that we only use the packed stuff when constructing data types (i.e., for `PACK`), in all other cases the behavior should not change. - `RtClosureInspect` was changed to handle the new layout when extracting subterms. This seems to be used by things like `:print`. I've also added a test for this. - I deviated slightly from Simon's approach and use `PrimRep` instead of `ArgRep` for computing the size of fields. This seemed more natural and in the future we'll probably want to introduce new primitive types (e.g., `Int8#`) and `PrimRep` seems like a better place to do that (where we already have `Int64Rep` for example). `ArgRep` on the other hand seems to be more focused on calling functions.

* Replace calls to `ptext . sLit` with `text`Jan Stolarek2016-01-181-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: In the past the canonical way for constructing an SDoc string literal was the composition `ptext . sLit`. But for some time now we have function `text` that does the same. Plus it has some rules that optimize its runtime behaviour. 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`. I don't expect any performance benefits - we mostly use SDocs to report errors and it seems there is little to be gained here.

* Enable stack traces with ghci -fexternal-interpreter -profSimon Marlow2016-01-081-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Maintain cost-centre stacks in the interpreterSimon Marlow2015-12-211-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Marlow2015-12-171-37/+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).

* Create a deterministic version of tyVarsOfTypeBartosz Nitka2015-11-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
