* Allow users to disable Unicode with an env varRon Mordechai2019-09-271-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unicode renders funny on my terminal and I like to avoid it where possible. Most applications which print out non-ascii characters allow users to disable such prints with an environment variable (e.g. Homebrew). This diff disables Unicode usage when the environment variable `GHC_NO_UNICODE` is set. To test, set the env var and compile a bad program. Note that GHC does not print Unicode bullets but instead prints out asterisks: ``` $ GHC_NO_UNICODE= _build/stage1/bin/ghc ../Temp.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Temp ( ../Temp.hs, ../Temp.o ) ../Temp.hs:4:23: error: * Couldn't match type `Bool' with `a -> Bool' Expected type: Bool -> a -> Bool Actual type: Bool -> Bool * In the first argument of `foldl', namely `(&& (flip $ elem u))' In the expression: foldl (&& (flip $ elem u)) True v In an equation for `isPermut': isPermut u v = foldl (&& (flip $ elem u)) True v * Relevant bindings include v :: [a] (bound at ../Temp.hs:4:12) u :: [a] (bound at ../Temp.hs:4:10) isPermut :: [a] -> [a] -> Bool (bound at ../Temp.hs:4:1) | 4 | isPermut u v = foldl (&& (flip $ elem u)) True v | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ``` (Broken code taken from Stack Overflow)

* Make -fbyte-code prevent unboxed tuples/sums from implying object code (#16876)Ryan Scott2019-09-262-10/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This resolves #16876 by making the explicit use of `-fbyte-code` prevent code that enables `UnboxedTuples` or `UnboxedSums` from automatically compiling to object code. This allows for a nice middle ground where most code that enables `UnboxedTuples`/-`Sums` will still benefit from automatically enabling `-fobject-code`, but allows power users who wish to avoid this behavior in certain corner cases (such as `lens`, whose use case is documented in #16876) to do so. Along the way, I did a little cleanup of the relevant code and documentation: * `enableCodeGenForUnboxedTuples` was only checking for the presence of `UnboxedTuples`, but `UnboxedSums` has the same complications. I fixed this and renamed the function to `enableCodeGenForUnboxedTuplesOrSums`. * I amended the users' guide with a discussion of these issues.
* Standalone kind signatures (#16794)wip/top-level-kind-signaturesVladislav Zavialov2019-09-252-5/+211
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implements GHC Proposal #54: .../ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0054-kind-signatures.rst With this patch, a type constructor can now be given an explicit standalone kind signature: {-# LANGUAGE StandaloneKindSignatures #-} type Functor :: (Type -> Type) -> Constraint class Functor f where fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b This is a replacement for CUSKs (complete user-specified kind signatures), which are now scheduled for deprecation. User-facing changes ------------------- * A new extension flag has been added, -XStandaloneKindSignatures, which implies -XNoCUSKs. * There is a new syntactic construct, a standalone kind signature: type <name> :: <kind> Declarations of data types, classes, data families, type families, and type synonyms may be accompanied by a standalone kind signature. * A standalone kind signature enables polymorphic recursion in types, just like a function type signature enables polymorphic recursion in terms. This obviates the need for CUSKs. * TemplateHaskell AST has been extended with 'KiSigD' to represent standalone kind signatures. * GHCi :info command now prints the kind signature of type constructors: ghci> :info Functor type Functor :: (Type -> Type) -> Constraint ... Limitations ----------- * 'forall'-bound type variables of a standalone kind signature do not scope over the declaration body, even if the -XScopedTypeVariables is enabled. See #16635 and #16734. * Wildcards are not allowed in standalone kind signatures, as partial signatures do not allow for polymorphic recursion. * Associated types may not be given an explicit standalone kind signature. Instead, they are assumed to have a CUSK if the parent class has a standalone kind signature and regardless of the -XCUSKs flag. * Standalone kind signatures do not support multiple names at the moment: type T1, T2 :: Type -> Type -- rejected type T1 = Maybe type T2 = Either String See #16754. * Creative use of equality constraints in standalone kind signatures may lead to GHC panics: type C :: forall (a :: Type) -> a ~ Int => Constraint class C a where f :: C a => a -> Int See #16758. Implementation notes -------------------- * The heart of this patch is the 'kcDeclHeader' function, which is used to kind-check a declaration header against its standalone kind signature. It does so in two rounds: 1. check user-written binders 2. instantiate invisible binders a la 'checkExpectedKind' * 'kcTyClGroup' now partitions declarations into declarations with a standalone kind signature or a CUSK (kinded_decls) and declarations without either (kindless_decls): * 'kinded_decls' are kind-checked with 'checkInitialKinds' * 'kindless_decls' are kind-checked with 'getInitialKinds' * DerivInfo has been extended with a new field: di_scoped_tvs :: ![(Name,TyVar)] These variables must be added to the context in case the deriving clause references tcTyConScopedTyVars. See #16731.
* PmCheck: Only ever check constantly many models against a single patternSebastian Graf2019-09-251-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces a new flag `-fmax-pmcheck-deltas` to achieve that. Deprecates the old `-fmax-pmcheck-iter` mechanism in favor of this new flag. From the user's guide: Pattern match checking can be exponential in some cases. This limit makes sure we scale polynomially in the number of patterns, by forgetting refined information gained from a partially successful match. For example, when matching `x` against `Just 4`, we split each incoming matching model into two sub-models: One where `x` is not `Nothing` and one where `x` is `Just y` but `y` is not `4`. When the number of incoming models exceeds the limit, we continue checking the next clause with the original, unrefined model. This also retires the incredibly hard to understand "maximum number of refinements" mechanism, because the current mechanism is more general and should catch the same exponential cases like PrelRules at the same time. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T11822 -------------------------

* eventlog: Add biographical and retainer profiling tracesMatthew Pickering2019-09-172-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new eventlog event which indicates the start of a biographical profiler sample. These are different to normal events as they also include the timestamp of when the census took place. This is because the LDV profiler only emits samples at the end of the run. Now all the different profiling modes emit consumable events to the eventlog.
* Encode shape information in `PmOracle`Sebastian Graf2019-09-161-43/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we had an elaborate mechanism for selecting the warnings to generate in the presence of different `COMPLETE` matching groups that, albeit finely-tuned, produced wrong results from an end user's perspective in some cases (#13363). The underlying issue is that at the point where the `ConVar` case has to commit to a particular `COMPLETE` group, there's not enough information to do so and the status quo was to just enumerate all possible complete sets nondeterministically. The `getResult` function would then pick the outcome according to metrics defined in accordance to the user's guide. But crucially, it lacked knowledge about the order in which affected clauses appear, leading to the surprising behavior in #13363. In !1010 we taught the term oracle to reason about literal values a variable can certainly not take on. This MR extends that idea to `ConLike`s and thereby fixes #13363: Instead of committing to a particular `COMPLETE` group in the `ConVar` case, we now split off the matching constructor incrementally and record the newly covered case as a refutable shape in the oracle. Whenever the set of refutable shapes covers any `COMPLETE` set, the oracle recognises vacuosity of the uncovered set. This patch goes a step further: Since at this point the information in value abstractions is merely a cut down representation of what the oracle knows, value abstractions degenerate to a single `Id`, the semantics of which is determined by the oracle state `Delta`. Value vectors become lists of `[Id]` given meaning to by a single `Delta`, value set abstractions (of which the uncovered set is an instance) correspond to a union of `Delta`s which instantiate the same `[Id]` (akin to models of formula).

* Refactor UnliftedNewtypes-relation kind signature validity checksRyan Scott2019-06-231-16/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes three infelicities related to the programs that are (and aren't) accepted with `UnliftedNewtypes`: * Enabling `UnliftedNewtypes` would permit newtypes to have return kind `Id Type`, which had disastrous results (i.e., GHC panics). * Data family declarations ending in kind `TYPE r` (for some `r`) weren't being accepted if `UnliftedNewtypes` wasn't enabled, despite the GHC proposal specifying otherwise. * GHC wasn't warning about programs that _would_ typecheck if `UnliftedNewtypes` were enabled in certain common cases. As part of fixing these issues, I factored out the logic for checking all of the various properties about data type/data family return kinds into a single `checkDataKindSig` function. I also cleaned up some of the formatting in the existing error message that gets thrown. Fixes #16821, fixes #16827, and fixes #16829.
* Add HoleFitPlugins and RawHoleFitswip/D5373Matthías Páll Gissurarson2019-06-211-0/+323
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new kind of plugin, Hole fit plugins. These plugins can change what candidates are considered when looking for valid hole fits, and add hole fits of their own. The type of a plugin is relatively simple, ``` type FitPlugin = TypedHole -> [HoleFit] -> TcM [HoleFit] type CandPlugin = TypedHole -> [HoleFitCandidate] -> TcM [HoleFitCandidate] data HoleFitPlugin = HoleFitPlugin { candPlugin :: CandPlugin , fitPlugin :: FitPlugin } data TypedHole = TyH { tyHRelevantCts :: Cts -- ^ Any relevant Cts to the hole , tyHImplics :: [Implication] -- ^ The nested implications of the hole with the -- innermost implication first. , tyHCt :: Maybe Ct -- ^ The hole constraint itself, if available. } This allows users and plugin writers to interact with the candidates and fits as they wish, even going as far as to allow them to reimplement the current functionality (since `TypedHole` contains all the relevant information). As an example, consider the following plugin: ``` module HolePlugin where import GhcPlugins import TcHoleErrors import Data.List (intersect, stripPrefix) import RdrName (importSpecModule) import TcRnTypes import System.Process plugin :: Plugin plugin = defaultPlugin { holeFitPlugin = hfp, pluginRecompile = purePlugin } hfp :: [CommandLineOption] -> Maybe HoleFitPluginR hfp opts = Just (fromPureHFPlugin $ HoleFitPlugin (candP opts) (fp opts)) toFilter :: Maybe String -> Maybe String toFilter = flip (>>=) (stripPrefix "_module_") replace :: Eq a => a -> a -> [a] -> [a] replace match repl str = replace' [] str where replace' sofar (x:xs) | x == match = replace' (repl:sofar) xs replace' sofar (x:xs) = replace' (x:sofar) xs replace' sofar [] = reverse sofar -- | This candidate plugin filters the candidates by module, -- using the name of the hole as module to search in candP :: [CommandLineOption] -> CandPlugin candP _ hole cands = do let he = case tyHCt hole of Just (CHoleCan _ h) -> Just (occNameString $ holeOcc h) _ -> Nothing case toFilter he of Just undscModName -> do let replaced = replace '_' '.' undscModName let res = filter (greNotInOpts [replaced]) cands return $ res _ -> return cands where greNotInOpts opts (GreHFCand gre) = not $ null $ intersect (inScopeVia gre) opts greNotInOpts _ _ = True inScopeVia = map (moduleNameString . importSpecModule) . gre_imp -- Yes, it's pretty hacky, but it is just an example :) searchHoogle :: String -> IO [String] searchHoogle ty = lines <$> (readProcess "hoogle" [(show ty)] []) fp :: [CommandLineOption] -> FitPlugin fp ("hoogle":[]) hole hfs = do dflags <- getDynFlags let tyString = showSDoc dflags . ppr . ctPred <$> tyHCt hole res <- case tyString of Just ty -> liftIO $ searchHoogle ty _ -> return [] return $ (take 2 $ map (RawHoleFit . text . ("Hoogle says: " ++)) res) ++ hfs fp _ _ hfs = return hfs ``` with this plugin available, you can compile the following file ``` {-# OPTIONS -fplugin=HolePlugin -fplugin-opt=HolePlugin:hoogle #-} module Main where import Prelude hiding (head, last) import Data.List (head, last) t :: [Int] -> Int t = _module_Prelude g :: [Int] -> Int g = _module_Data_List main :: IO () main = print $ t [1,2,3] ``` and get the following output: ``` Main.hs:14:5: error: • Found hole: _module_Prelude :: [Int] -> Int Or perhaps ‘_module_Prelude’ is mis-spelled, or not in scope • In the expression: _module_Prelude In an equation for ‘t’: t = _module_Prelude • Relevant bindings include t :: [Int] -> Int (bound at Main.hs:14:1) Valid hole fits include Hoogle says: GHC.List length :: [a] -> Int Hoogle says: GHC.OldList length :: [a] -> Int t :: [Int] -> Int (bound at Main.hs:14:1) g :: [Int] -> Int (bound at Main.hs:17:1) length :: forall (t :: * -> *) a.

[a] -> a with last @Int (imported from ‘Data.List’ at Main.hs:7:25-28 (and originally defined in ‘GHC.List’)) | 17 | g = _module_Data_List ``` This relatively simple plugin has two functions, as an example of what is possible to do with hole fit plugins. The candidate plugin starts by filtering the candidates considered by module, indicated by the name of the hole (`_module_Data_List`). The second function is in the fit plugin, where the plugin invokes a local hoogle instance to search by the type of the hole. By adding the `RawHoleFit` type, we can also allow these completely free suggestions, used in the plugin above to display fits found by Hoogle. Additionally, the `HoleFitPluginR` wrapper can be used for plugins to maintain state between invocations, which can be used to speed up invocation of plugins that have expensive initialization. ``` -- | HoleFitPluginR adds a TcRef to hole fit plugins so that plugins can -- track internal state. Note the existential quantification, ensuring that -- the state cannot be modified from outside the plugin. data HoleFitPluginR = forall s. HoleFitPluginR { hfPluginInit :: TcM (TcRef s) -- ^ Initializes the TcRef to be passed to the plugin , hfPluginRun :: TcRef s -> HoleFitPlugin -- ^ The function defining the plugin itself , hfPluginStop :: TcRef s -> TcM () -- ^ Cleanup of state, guaranteed to be called even on error } ``` Of course, the syntax here is up for debate, but hole fit plugins allow us to experiment relatively easily with ways to interact with typed-holes without having to dig deep into GHC.

* Implement the -XUnliftedNewtypes extension.Andrew Martin2019-06-142-0/+98
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GHC Proposal: 0013-unlifted-newtypes.rst Discussion: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/98 Issues: #15219, #1311, #13595, #15883 Implementation Details: Note [Implementation of UnliftedNewtypes] Note [Unifying data family kinds] Note [Compulsory newtype unfolding] This patch introduces the -XUnliftedNewtypes extension. When this extension is enabled, GHC drops the restriction that the field in a newtype must be of kind (TYPE 'LiftedRep). This allows types like Int# and ByteArray# to be used in a newtype. Additionally, coerce is made levity-polymorphic so that it can be used with newtypes over unlifted types. The bulk of the changes are in TcTyClsDecls.hs. With -XUnliftedNewtypes, getInitialKind is more liberal, introducing a unification variable to return the kind (TYPE r0) rather than just returning (TYPE 'LiftedRep). When kind-checking a data constructor with kcConDecl, we attempt to unify the kind of a newtype with the kind of its field's type. When typechecking a data declaration with tcTyClDecl, we again perform a unification. See the implementation note for more on this. Co-authored-by: Richard Eisenberg <rae@richarde.dev>

* Add disable/enable commands to ghci debugger #2215Roland Senn2019-06-092-9/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds two new commands `:enable` and `:disable` to the GHCi debugger. Opposite to `:set stop <n> :continue` a breakpoint disabled with `:disable` will not loose its previously set stop command. A new field breakEnabled is added to the BreakLocation data structure to track the enable/disable state. When a breakpoint is disabled with a `:disable` command, the following happens: The corresponding BreakLocation data element is searched dictionary of the `breaks` field of the GHCiStateMonad. If the break point is found and not already in the disabled state, the breakpoint is removed from bytecode. The BreakLocation data structure is kept in the breaks list and the new breakEnabled field is set to false. The `:enable` command works similar. The breaks field in the GHCiStateMonad was changed from an association list to int `IntMap`.
