Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.

We had to bite the bullet here and add an extra word to every thunk,
to enable running ordinary libraries on SMP. Otherwise, we would have
needed to ship an extra set of libraries with GHC 6.6 in addition to
the two sets we already ship (normal + profiled), and all Cabal
packages would have to be compiled for SMP too. We decided it best
just to take the hit now, making SMP easily accessible to everyone in
GHC 6.6.
Incedentally, although this increases allocation by around 12% on
average, the performance hit is around 5%, and much less if your inner
loop doesn't use any laziness.

SMP: thunks get an extra header word so that the payload doesn't
occupy the same space as the updated value. This is the sum total of
the changes to compiler/, which are pleasingly few.

Tweaks to get the GHC sources through Haddock. Doesn't quite work
yet, because Haddock complains about the recursive modules. Haddock
needs to understand SOURCE imports (it can probably just ignore them
as a first attempt).

Flags cleanup.
Basically the purpose of this commit is to move more of the compiler's
global state into DynFlags, which is moving in the direction we need
to go for the GHC API which can have multiple active sessions
supported by a single GHC instance.
Before:
$ grep 'global_var' */*hs | wc -l
78
After:
$ grep 'global_var' */*hs | wc -l
27
Well, it's an improvement. Most of what's left won't really affect
our ability to host multiple sessions.
Lots of static flags have become dynamic flags (yay!). Notably lots
of flags that we used to think of as "driver" flags, like -I and -L,
are now dynamic. The most notable static flags left behind are the
"way" flags, eg. -prof. It would be nice to fix this, but it isn't
urgent.
On the way, lots of cleanup has happened. Everything related to
static and dynamic flags lives in StaticFlags and DynFlags
respectively, and they share a common command-line parser library in
CmdLineParser. The flags related to modes (--makde, --interactive
etc.) are now private to the front end: in fact private to Main
itself, for now.

rtsconfig, smrep: fixes to not put info next to code (like ia64)
machregs: define registers for powerpc64 - same as ppc32
tailcalls: for now do tailcalls as normal calls. (ok on powerpc since
calls don't grow the stack and we don't care about LR anyway)

Define <arch>_TARGET_ARCH and <os>_TARGET_OS by default when CPP'ing.
This avoids the main reason for needing to #include config.h into
Haskell source, so most files that previously just #include "config.h" can now
#if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ < 603
#include "config.h"
#endif

Change the way SRTs are represented:
Previously, the SRT associated with a function or thunk would be a
sub-list of the enclosing top-level function's SRT. But this approach
can lead to lots of duplication: if a CAF is referenced in several
different thunks, then it may appear several times in the SRT.
Let-no-escapes compound the problem, because the occurrence of a
let-no-escape-bound variable would expand to all the CAFs referred to
by the let-no-escape.
The new way is to describe the SRT associated with a function or thunk
as a (pointer+offset,bitmap) pair, where the pointer+offset points
into some SRT table (the enclosing function's SRT), and the bitmap
indicates which entries in this table are "live" for this closure.
The bitmap is stored in the 16 bits previously used for the length
field, but this rarely overflows. When it does overflow, we store the
bitmap externally in a new "SRT descriptor".
Now the enclosing SRT can be a set, hence eliminating the duplicates.
Also, we now have one SRT per top-level function in a recursive group,
where previously we used to have one SRT for the whole group. This
helps keep the size of SRTs down.
Bottom line: very little difference most of the time. GHC itself got
slightly smaller. One bad case of a module in GHC which had a huge
SRT has gone away.
While I was in the area:
- Several parts of the back-end require bitmaps. Functions for
creating bitmaps are now centralised in the Bitmap module.
- We were trying to be independent of word-size in a couple of
places in the back end, but we've now abandoned that strategy so I
simplified things a bit.

Merge the eval-apply-branch on to the HEAD
------------------------------------------
This is a change to GHC's evaluation model in order to ultimately make
GHC more portable and to reduce complexity in some areas.
At some point we'll update the commentary to describe the new state of
the RTS. Pending that, the highlights of this change are:
- No more Su. The Su register is gone, update frames are one
word smaller.
- Slow-entry points and arg checks are gone. Unknown function calls
are handled by automatically-generated RTS entry points (AutoApply.hc,
generated by the program in utils/genapply).
- The stack layout is stricter: there are no "pending arguments" on
the stack any more, the stack is always strictly a sequence of
stack frames.
This means that there's no need for LOOKS_LIKE_GHC_INFO() or
LOOKS_LIKE_STATIC_CLOSURE() any more, and GHC doesn't need to know
how to find the boundary between the text and data segments (BIG WIN!).
- A couple of nasty hacks in the mangler caused by the neet to
identify closure ptrs vs. info tables have gone away.
- Info tables are a bit more complicated. See InfoTables.h for the
details.
- As a side effect, GHCi can now deal with polymorphic seq. Some bugs
in GHCi which affected primitives and unboxed tuples are now
fixed.
- Binary sizes are reduced by about 7% on x86. Performance is roughly
similar, some programs get faster while some get slower. I've seen
GHCi perform worse on some examples, but haven't investigated
further yet (GHCi performance *should* be about the same or better
in theory).
- Internally the code generator is rather better organised. I've moved
info-table generation from the NCG into the main codeGen where it is
shared with the C back-end; info tables are now emitted as arrays
of words in both back-ends. The NCG is one step closer to being able
to support profiling.
This has all been fairly thoroughly tested, but no doubt I've messed
up the commit in some way.

This utterly gigantic commit is what I've been up to in background
mode in the last couple of months. Originally the main goal
was to get rid of Con (staturated constant applications)
in the CoreExpr type, but one thing led to another, and I kept
postponing actually committing. Sorry.
Simon, 23 March 2000
I've tested it pretty thoroughly, but doubtless things will break.
Here are the highlights
* Con is gone; the CoreExpr type is simpler
* NoRepLits have gone
* Better usage info in interface files => less recompilation
* Result type signatures work
* CCall primop is tidied up
* Constant folding now done by Rules
* Lots of hackery in the simplifier
* Improvements in CPR and strictness analysis
Many bug fixes including
* Sergey's DoCon compiles OK; no loop in the strictness analyser
* Volker Wysk's programs don't crash the CPR analyser
I have not done much on measuring compilation times and binary sizes;
they could have got worse. I think performance has got significantly
better, though, in most cases.
Removing the Con form of Core expressions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The big thing is that
For every constructor C there are now *two* Ids:
C is the constructor's *wrapper*. It evaluates and unboxes arguments
before calling $wC. It has a perfectly ordinary top-level defn
in the module defining the data type.
$wC is the constructor's *worker*. It is like a primop that simply
allocates and builds the constructor value. Its arguments are the
actual representation arguments of the constructor.
Its type may be different to C, because:
- useless dict args are dropped
- strict args may be flattened
For every primop P there is *one* Id, its (curried) Id
Neither contructor worker Id nor the primop Id have a defminition anywhere.
Instead they are saturated during the core-to-STG pass, and the code generator
generates code for them directly. The STG language still has saturated
primops and constructor applications.
* The Const type disappears, along with Const.lhs. The literal part
of Const.lhs reappears as Literal.lhs. Much tidying up in here,
to bring all the range checking into this one module.
* I got rid of NoRep literals entirely. They just seem to be too much trouble.
* Because Con's don't exist any more, the funny C { args } syntax
disappears from inteface files.
Parsing
~~~~~~~
* Result type signatures now work
f :: Int -> Int = \x -> x
-- The Int->Int is the type of f
g x y :: Int = x+y
-- The Int is the type of the result of (g x y)
Recompilation checking and make
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The .hi file for a modules is not touched if it doesn't change. (It used to
be touched regardless, forcing a chain of recompilations.) The penalty for this
is that we record exported things just as if they were mentioned in the body of
the module. And the penalty for that is that we may recompile a module when
the only things that have changed are the things it is passing on without using.
But it seems like a good trade.
* -recomp is on by default
Foreign declarations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* If you say
foreign export zoo :: Int -> IO Int
then you get a C produre called 'zoo', not 'zzoo' as before.
I've also added a check that complains if you export (or import) a C
procedure whose name isn't legal C.
Code generation and labels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Now that constructor workers and wrappers have distinct names, there's
no need to have a Foo_static_closure and a Foo_closure for constructor Foo.
I nuked the entire StaticClosure story. This has effects in some of
the RTS headers (i.e. s/static_closure/closure/g)
Rules, constant folding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Constant folding becomes just another rewrite rule, attached to the Id for the
PrimOp. To achieve this, there's a new form of Rule, a BuiltinRule (see CoreSyn.lhs).
The prelude rules are in prelude/PrelRules.lhs, while simplCore/ConFold.lhs has gone.
* Appending of constant strings now works, using fold/build fusion, plus
the rewrite rule
unpack "foo" c (unpack "baz" c n) = unpack "foobaz" c n
Implemented in PrelRules.lhs
* The CCall primop is tidied up quite a bit. There is now a data type CCall,
defined in PrimOp, that packages up the info needed for a particular CCall.
There is a new Id for each new ccall, with an big "occurrence name"
{__ccall "foo" gc Int# -> Int#}
In interface files, this is parsed as a single Id, which is what it is, really.
Miscellaneous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* There were numerous places where the host compiler's
minInt/maxInt was being used as the target machine's minInt/maxInt.
I nuked all of these; everything is localised to inIntRange and inWordRange,
in Literal.lhs
* Desugaring record updates was broken: it didn't generate correct matches when
used withe records with fancy unboxing etc. It now uses matchWrapper.
* Significant tidying up in codeGen/SMRep.lhs
* Add __word, __word64, __int64 terminals to signal the obvious types
in interface files. Add the ability to print word values in hex into
C code.
* PrimOp.lhs is no longer part of a loop. Remove PrimOp.hi-boot*
Types
~~~~~
* isProductTyCon no longer returns False for recursive products, nor
for unboxed products; you have to test for these separately.
There's no reason not to do CPR for recursive product types, for example.
Ditto splitProductType_maybe.
Simplification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* New -fno-case-of-case flag for the simplifier. We use this in the first run
of the simplifier, where it helps to stop messing up expressions that
the (subsequent) full laziness pass would otherwise find float out.
It's much more effective than previous half-baked hacks in inlining.
Actually, it turned out that there were three places in Simplify.lhs that
needed to know use this flag.
* Make the float-in pass push duplicatable bindings into the branches of
a case expression, in the hope that we never have to allocate them.
(see FloatIn.sepBindsByDropPoint)
* Arrange that top-level bottoming Ids get a NOINLINE pragma
This reduced gratuitous inlining of error messages.
But arrange that such things still get w/w'd.
* Arrange that a strict argument position is regarded as an 'interesting'
context, so that if we see
foldr k z (g x)
then we'll be inclined to inline g; this can expose a build.
* There was a missing case in CoreUtils.exprEtaExpandArity that meant
we were missing some obvious cases for eta expansion
Also improve the code when handling applications.
* Make record selectors (identifiable by their IdFlavour) into "cheap" operations.
[The change is a 2-liner in CoreUtils.exprIsCheap]
This means that record selection may be inlined into function bodies, which
greatly improves the arities of overloaded functions.
* Make a cleaner job of inlining "lone variables". There was some distributed
cunning, but I've centralised it all now in SimplUtils.analyseCont, which
analyses the context of a call to decide whether it is "interesting".
* Don't specialise very small functions in Specialise.specDefn
It's better to inline it. Rather like the worker/wrapper case.
* Be just a little more aggressive when floating out of let rhss.
See comments with Simplify.wantToExpose
A small change with an occasional big effect.
* Make the inline-size computation think that
case x of I# x -> ...
is *free*.
CPR analysis
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Fix what was essentially a bug in CPR analysis. Consider
letrec f x = let g y = let ... in f e1
in
if ... then (a,b) else g x
g has the CPR property if f does; so when generating the final annotated
RHS for f, we must use an envt in which f is bound to its final abstract
value. This wasn't happening. Instead, f was given the CPR tag but g
wasn't; but of course the w/w pass gives rotten results in that case!!
(Because f's CPR-ness relied on g's.)
On they way I tidied up the code in CprAnalyse. It's quite a bit shorter.
The fact that some data constructors return a constructed product shows
up in their CPR info (MkId.mkDataConId) not in CprAnalyse.lhs
Strictness analysis and worker/wrapper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* BIG THING: pass in the demand to StrictAnal.saExpr. This affects situations
like
f (let x = e1 in (x,x))
where f turns out to have strictness u(SS), say. In this case we can
mark x as demanded, and use a case expression for it.
The situation before is that we didn't "know" that there is the u(SS)
demand on the argument, so we simply computed that the body of the let
expression is lazy in x, and marked x as lazily-demanded. Then even after
f was w/w'd we got
let x = e1 in case (x,x) of (a,b) -> $wf a b
and hence
let x = e1 in $wf a b
I found a much more complicated situation in spectral/sphere/Main.shade,
which improved quite a bit with this change.
* Moved the StrictnessInfo type from IdInfo to Demand. It's the logical
place for it, and helps avoid module loops
* Do worker/wrapper for coerces even if the arity is zero. Thus:
stdout = coerce Handle (..blurg..)
==>
wibble = (...blurg...)
stdout = coerce Handle wibble
This is good because I found places where we were saying
case coerce t stdout of { MVar a ->
...
case coerce t stdout of { MVar b ->
...
and the redundant case wasn't getting eliminated because of the coerce.

Another big commit from Simon. Actually, the last one
didn't all go into the main trunk; because of a CVS glitch it
ended up in the wrong branch.
So this commit includes:
* Scoped type variables
* Warnings for unused variables should work now (they didn't before)
* Simplifier improvements:
- Much better treatment of strict arguments
- Better treatment of bottoming Ids
- No need for w/w split for fns that are merely strict
- Fewer iterations needed, I hope
* Less gratuitous renaming in interface files and abs C
* OccName is a separate module, and is an abstract data type
I think the whole Prelude and Exts libraries compile correctly.
Something isn't quite right about typechecking existentials though.

The Great Multi-Parameter Type Classes Merge.
Notes from Simon (abridged):
* Multi-parameter type classes are fully implemented.
* Error messages from the type checker should be noticeably improved
* Warnings for unused bindings (-fwarn-unused-names)
* many other minor bug fixes.
Internally there are the following changes
* Removal of Haskell 1.2 compatibility.
* Dramatic clean-up of the PprStyle stuff.
* The type Type has been substantially changed.
* The dictionary for each class is represented by a new
data type for that purpose, rather than by a tuple.
