* Monotonic locations (#17632)Vladislav Zavialov2020-02-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When GHC is parsing a file generated by a tool, e.g. by the C preprocessor, the tool may insert #line pragmas to adjust the locations reported to the user. As the result, the locations recorded in RealSrcLoc are not monotonic. Elements that appear later in the StringBuffer are not guaranteed to have a higher line/column number. In fact, there are no guarantees whatsoever, as #line pragmas can arbitrarily modify locations. This lack of guarantees makes ideas such as #17544 infeasible. This patch adds an additional bit of information to every SrcLoc: newtype BufPos = BufPos { bufPos :: Int } A BufPos represents the location in the StringBuffer, unaffected by any pragmas.

* Remove Ord SrcLoc, Ord SrcSpanVladislav Zavialov2020-02-241-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch, GHC relied on Ord SrcSpan to identify source elements, by using SrcSpan as Map keys: blackList :: Map SrcSpan () -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Coverage.hs instanceMap :: Map SrcSpan Name -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Docs.hs Firstly, this design is not valid in presence of UnhelpfulSpan, as it distinguishes between UnhelpfulSpan "X" and UnhelpfulSpan "Y", but those strings are messages for the user, unfit to serve as identifiers for source elements. Secondly, this design made it hard to extend SrcSpan with additional data. Recall that the definition of SrcSpan is: data SrcSpan = RealSrcSpan !RealSrcSpan | UnhelpfulSpan !FastString Say we want to extend the RealSrcSpan constructor with additional information: data SrcSpan = RealSrcSpan !RealSrcSpan !AdditionalInformation | UnhelpfulSpan !FastString getAdditionalInformation :: SrcSpan -> AdditionalInformation getAdditionalInformation (RealSrcSpan _ a) = a Now, in order for Map SrcSpan to keep working correctly, we must *ignore* additional information when comparing SrcSpan values: instance Ord SrcSpan where compare (RealSrcSpan r1 _) (RealSrcSpan r2 _) = compare r1 r2 ... However, this would violate an important law: a == b therefore f a == f b Ignoring AdditionalInformation in comparisons would mean that with f=getAdditionalInformation, the law above does not hold. A more robust design is to avoid Ord SrcSpan altogether, which is what this patch implements. The mappings are changed to use RealSrcSpan instead: blackList :: Set RealSrcSpan -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Coverage.hs instanceMap :: Map RealSrcSpan Name -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Docs.hs All SrcSpan comparisons are now done with explicit comparison strategies: SrcLoc.leftmost_smallest SrcLoc.leftmost_largest SrcLoc.rightmost_smallest These strategies are not subject to the law mentioned above and can easily discard both the string stored in UnhelpfulSpan and AdditionalInformation. Updates haddock submodule.

* Add GHC-API logging hooksSylvain Henry2019-12-181-50/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 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)

* Make dynflag argument for withTiming pure.Andreas Klebinger2019-10-231-13/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* ErrUtils: split withTiming into withTiming and withTimingSilentAlp Mestanogullari2019-09-191-25/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'withTiming' becomes a function that, when passed '-vN' (N >= 2) or '-ddump-timings', will print timing (and possibly allocations) related information. When additionally built with '-eventlog' and executed with '+RTS -l', 'withTiming' will also emit both 'traceMarker' and 'traceEvent' events to the eventlog. 'withTimingSilent' on the other hand will never print any timing information, under any circumstance, and will only emit 'traceEvent' events to the eventlog. As pointed out in !1672, 'traceMarker' is better suited for things that we might want to visualize in tools like eventlog2html, while 'traceEvent' is better suited for internal events that occur a lot more often and that we don't necessarily want to visualize. This addresses #17138 by using 'withTimingSilent' for all the codegen bits that are expressed as a bunch of small computations over streams of codegen ASTs.

* Fix #15953 by consistently using dumpIfSet_dyn to print debug outputChaitanya Koparkar2018-11-291-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: In some modules we directly dump the debugging output to STDOUT via 'putLogMsg', 'printInfoForUser' etc. However, if `-ddump-to-file` is enabled, that output should be written to a file. Easily fixed. Certain tests (T3017, Roles3, T12763 etc.) expect part of the output generated by `-ddump-types` to be in 'PprUser' style. However, generally we want all other debugging output to use 'PprDump' style. `traceTcRn` and `traceTcRnForUser` help us accomplish this. This patch also documents some missing flags in the users guide.

* Refactor temp files cleanupDouglas Wilson2017-06-081-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove filesToNotIntermediateClean from DynFlags, create a data type FilesToClean, and change filesToClean in DynFlags to be a FilesToClean. Modify SysTools.newTempName and the Temporary constructor of PipelineMonad.PipelineOutput to take a TempFileLifetime, which specifies whether a temp file should live until the end of GhcMonad.withSession, or until the next time cleanIntermediateTempFiles is called. These changes allow the cleaning of intermediate files in GhcMake to be much more efficient. HscTypes.hptObjs is removed as it is no longer used. A new performance test T13701 is added, which passes both with and without -keep-tmp-files. The test fails by 25% without the patch, and passes when -keep-tmp-files is added. Note that there are still at two hotspots caused by algorithms quadratic in the number of modules, however neither of them allocate. They are: * DriverPipeline.compileOne'.needsLinker * GhcMake.getModLoop DriverPipeline.compileOne'.needsLinker is changed slightly to improve the situation. I don't like adding these Types to DynFlags, but they need to be seen by Dynflags, SysTools and PipelineMonad. The alternative seems to be to create a new module.

In cases for which we don't have easy access to a DynFlags, we read from 'unsafeGlobalDynFlags' that is set at the beginning of each 'runGhc'.

* Replace calls to `ptext . sLit` with `text`Jan Stolarek2016-01-181-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
