* Use lengthIs and friends in more placesRyan Scott2017-06-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While investigating #12545, I discovered several places in the code that performed length-checks like so: ``` length ts == 4 ``` This is not ideal, since the length of `ts` could be much longer than 4, and we'd be doing way more work than necessary! There are already a slew of helper functions in `Util` such as `lengthIs` that are designed to do this efficiently, so I found every place where they ought to be used and did just that. I also defined a couple more utility functions for list length that were common patterns (e.g., `ltLength`).

* Remote GHCi, -fexternal-interpreterSimon Marlow2015-12-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Eisenberg2015-12-111-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Fix breakage in the GHCi debuggerSimon Marlow2015-10-211-10/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: There was a broken offset calculation that only worked when the sections of the binary were in a particular order, and this broke (sometimes) after we started mapping the sections separately in the linker (see D975).

* Fix a couple of bugs in the way info tables are generated for 64-bit platformsSimon Marlow2014-11-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | 1. The offset was a full word, but it should actually be a 32-bit offset on 64-bit platforms. 2. The con_desc string was allocated separately, which meant that it might be out of range for a 32-bit offset. These bugs meant that +RTS -Di (interpreter debugging) would sometimes crash on 64-bit.
* Rename PackageId to PackageKey, distinguishing it from Cabal's PackageId.Edward Z. Yang2014-07-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Previously, both Cabal and GHC defined the type PackageId, and we expected them to be roughly equivalent (but represented differently). This refactoring separates these two notions. A package ID is a user-visible identifier; it's the thing you write in a Cabal file, e.g. containers-0.9. The components of this ID are semantically meaningful, and decompose into a package name and a package vrsion. A package key is an opaque identifier used by GHC to generate linking symbols. Presently, it just consists of a package name and a package version, but pursuant to #9265 we are planning to extend it to record other information. Within a single executable, it uniquely identifies a package. It is *not* an InstalledPackageId, as the choice of a package key affects the ABI of a package (whereas an InstalledPackageId is computed after compilation.) Cabal computes a package key for the package and passes it to GHC using -package-name (now *extremely* misnamed). As an added bonus, we don't have to worry about shadowing anymore. As a follow on, we should introduce -current-package-key having the same role as -package-name, and deprecate the old flag. This commit is just renaming. The haddock submodule needed to be updated.

* Add LANGUAGE pragmas to compiler/ source filesHerbert Valerio Riedel2014-05-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases, the layout of the LANGUAGE/OPTIONS_GHC lines has been reorganized, while following the convention, to - place `{-# LANGUAGE #-}` pragmas at the top of the source file, before any `{-# OPTIONS_GHC #-}`-lines. - Moreover, if the list of language extensions fit into a single `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-line (shorter than 80 characters), keep it on one line. Otherwise split into `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-lines for each individual language extension. In both cases, try to keep the enumeration alphabetically ordered. (The latter layout is preferable as it's more diff-friendly) While at it, this also replaces obsolete `{-# OPTIONS ... #-}` pragma occurences by `{-# OPTIONS_GHC ... #-}` pragmas.

linking scenarios. We weren't searching for .a archives to satisfy -lfoo options on the GHCi command line, for example. I've tidied up the code in this module so that dealing with -l options on the command line is consistent with the handling of extra-libraries for packages. While I was here I moved some stuff out of Linker.hs that didn't seem to belong here: dataConInfoPtrToName (now in new module DebuggerUtils) and lessUnsafeCoerce (now in DynamicLoading, next to its only use)
