* Introduce stack snapshotting / cloning (#18741)Sven Tennie2021-09-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add `StackSnapshot#` primitive type that represents a cloned stack (StgStack). The cloning interface consists of two functions, that clone either the treads own stack (cloneMyStack) or another threads stack (cloneThreadStack). The stack snapshot is offline/cold, i.e. it isn't evaluated any further. This is useful for analyses as it prevents concurrent modifications. For technical details, please see Note [Stack Cloning].

* Generalise reallyUnsafePtrEquality# and use itsheaf2021-07-231-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #9192 and #17126 updates containers submodule 1. Changes the type of the primop `reallyUnsafePtrEquality#` to the most general version possible (heterogeneous as well as levity-polymorphic): > reallyUnsafePtrEquality# > :: forall {l :: Levity} {k :: Levity} > (a :: TYPE (BoxedRep l)) (b :: TYPE (BoxedRep k)) > . a -> b -> Int# 2. Adds a new internal module, `GHC.Ext.PtrEq`, which contains pointer equality operations that are now subsumed by `reallyUnsafePtrEquality#`. These functions are then re-exported by `GHC.Exts` (so that no function goes missing from the export list of `GHC.Exts`, which is user-facing). More specifically, `GHC.Ext.PtrEq` defines: - A new function: * reallyUnsafePtrEquality :: forall (a :: Type). a -> a -> Int# - Library definitions of ex-primops: * `sameMutableArray#` * `sameSmallMutableArray` * `sameMutableByteArray#` * `sameMutableArrayArray#` * `sameMutVar#` * `sameTVar#` * `sameMVar#` * `sameIOPort#` * `eqStableName#` - New functions for comparing non-mutable arrays: * `sameArray#` * `sameSmallArray#` * `sameByteArray#` * `sameArrayArray#` These were requested in #9192. Generally speaking, existing libraries that use `reallyUnsafePtrEquality#` will continue to work with the new, levity-polymorphic version. But not all! Some (`containers`, `unordered-containers`, `dependent-map`) contain the following: > unsafeCoerce# reallyUnsafePtrEquality# a b If we make `reallyUnsafePtrEquality#` levity-polymorphic, this code fails the current GHC representation-polymorphism checks. We agreed that the right solution here is to modify the library; in this case by deleting the call to `unsafeCoerce#`, since `reallyUnsafePtrEquality#` is now type-heterogeneous too.

* Fix array and cleanup conversion primops (#19026)Sylvain Henry2021-03-031-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first change makes the array ones use the proper fixed-size types, which also means that just like before, they can be used without explicit conversions with the boxed sized types. (Before, it was Int# / Word# on both sides, now it is fixed sized on both sides). For the second change, don't use "extend" or "narrow" in some of the user-facing primops names for conversions. - Names like `narrowInt32#` are misleading when `Int` is 32-bits. - Names like `extendInt64#` are flat-out wrong when `Int is 32-bits. - `narrow{Int,Word}<N>#` however map a type to itself, and so don't suffer from this problem. They are left as-is. These changes are batched together because Alex happend to use the array ops. We can only use released versions of Alex at this time, sadly, and I don't want to have to have a release thatwon't work for the final GHC 9.2. So by combining these we get all the changes for Alex done at once. Bump hackage state in a few places, and also make that workflow slightly easier for the future. Bump minimum Alex version Bump Cabal, array, bytestring, containers, text, and binary submodules
* Move absentError into ghc-prim.Andreas Klebinger2021-02-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | When using -fdicts-strict we generate references to absentError while compiling ghc-prim. However we always load ghc-prim before base so this caused linker errors. We simply solve this by moving absentError into ghc-prim. This does mean it's now a panic instead of an exception which can no longer be caught. But given that it should only be thrown if there is a compiler error that seems acceptable, and in fact we already do this for absentSumFieldError which has similar constraints.

It features * A language extension -XLinearTypes * Syntax for linear functions in the surface language * Linearity checking in Core Lint, enabled with -dlinear-core-lint * Core-to-core passes are mostly compatible with linearity * Fields in a data type can be linear or unrestricted; linear fields have multiplicity-polymorphic constructors. If -XLinearTypes is disabled, the GADT syntax defaults to linear fields The following items are not yet supported: * a # m -> b syntax (only prefix FUN is supported for now) * Full multiplicity inference (multiplicities are really only checked) * Decent linearity error messages * Linear let, where, and case expressions in the surface language (each of these currently introduce the unrestricted variant) * Multiplicity-parametric fields * Syntax for annotating lambda-bound or let-bound with a multiplicity * Syntax for non-linear/multiple-field-multiplicity records * Linear projections for records with a single linear field * Linear pattern synonyms * Multiplicity coercions (test LinearPolyType) A high-level description can be found at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/LinearTypes/Implementation Following the link above you will find a description of the changes made to Core.

* Make BCO# liftedBen Gamari2019-12-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | In #17424 Simon PJ noted that there is a potentially unsafe occurrence of unsafeCoerce#, coercing from an unlifted to lifted type. However, nowhere in the compiler do we assume that a BCO# is not a thunk. Moreover, in the case of a CAF the result returned by `createBCO` *will* be a thunk (as noted in [Updatable CAF BCOs]). Consequently it seems better to rather make BCO# a lifted type and rename it to BCO.

* Add AnonArgFlag to FunTySimon Peyton Jones2019-02-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The big payload of this patch is: Add an AnonArgFlag to the FunTy constructor of Type, so that (FunTy VisArg t1 t2) means (t1 -> t2) (FunTy InvisArg t1 t2) means (t1 => t2) The big payoff is that we have a simple, local test to make when decomposing a type, leading to many fewer calls to isPredTy. To me the code seems a lot tidier, and probably more efficient (isPredTy has to take the kind of the type). See Note [Function types] in TyCoRep. There are lots of consequences * I made FunTy into a record, so that it'll be easier when we add a linearity field, something that is coming down the road. * Lots of code gets touched in a routine way, simply because it pattern matches on FunTy. * I wanted to make a pattern synonym for (FunTy2 arg res), which picks out just the argument and result type from the record. But alas the pattern-match overlap checker has a heart attack, and either reports false positives, or takes too long. In the end I gave up on pattern synonyms. There's some commented-out code in TyCoRep that shows what I wanted to do. * Much more clarity about predicate types, constraint types and (in particular) equality constraints in kinds. See TyCoRep Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence] and Note [Constraints in kinds]. This made me realise that we need an AnonArgFlag on AnonTCB in a TyConBinder, something that was really plain wrong before. See TyCon Note [AnonTCB InivsArg] * When building function types we must know whether we need VisArg (mkVisFunTy) or InvisArg (mkInvisFunTy). This turned out to be pretty easy in practice. * Pretty-printing of types, esp in IfaceType, gets tidier, because we were already recording the (->) vs (=>) distinction in an ad-hoc way. Death to IfaceFunTy. * mkLamType needs to keep track of whether it is building (t1 -> t2) or (t1 => t2). See Type Note [mkLamType: dictionary arguments] Other minor stuff * Some tidy-up in validity checking involving constraints; Trac #16263

There are three issues outstanding 1. Extra parens around a context are not reproduced. This will require an AST change and will be done in a separate patch. 2. Currently if an `HsTickPragma` is found, this is not pretty-printed, to prevent noise in the output. I am not sure what the desired behaviour in this case is, so have left it as before. Test Ppr047 is marked as expected fail for this. 3. Apart from in a context, the ParsedSource AST keeps all the parens from the original source. Something is happening in the renamer to remove the parens around visible type application, causing T12530 to fail, as the dumped splice decl is after the renamer. This needs to be fixed by keeping the parens, but I do not know where they are being removed. I have amended the test to pass, by removing the parens in the expected output.

* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverses some of the work done in #1405, and goes back to the assumption that the bootstrap compiler understands GHC-haskell. In particular: * use MagicHash instead of _ILIT and _CLIT * pattern matching on I# if possible, instead of using iUnbox unnecessarily * use Int#/Char#/Addr# instead of the following type synonyms: - type FastInt = Int# - type FastChar = Char# - type FastPtr a = Addr# * inline the following functions: - iBox = I# - cBox = C# - fastChr = chr# - fastOrd = ord# - eqFastChar = eqChar# - shiftLFastInt = uncheckedIShiftL# - shiftR_FastInt = uncheckedIShiftRL# - shiftRLFastInt = uncheckedIShiftRL# * delete the following unused functions: - minFastInt - maxFastInt - uncheckedIShiftRA# - castFastPtr - panicDocFastInt and pprPanicFastInt * rename panicFastInt back to panic# These functions remain, since they actually do something: * iUnbox * bitAndFastInt * bitOrFastInt Test Plan: validate Reviewers: austin, bgamari Subscribers: rwbarton Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1141 GHC Trac Issues: #1405

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make tuple constraints be handled by a perfectly ordinary type class, with the component constraints being the superclasses: class (c1, c2) => (c2, c2) This change was provoked by #10359 inability to re-use a given tuple constraint as a whole #9858 confusion between term tuples and constraint tuples but it's generally a very nice simplification. We get rid of - In Type, the TuplePred constructor of PredTree, and all the code that dealt with TuplePreds - In TcEvidence, the constructors EvTupleMk, EvTupleSel See Note [How tuples work] in TysWiredIn. Of course, nothing is ever entirely simple. This one proved quite fiddly. - I did quite a bit of renaming, which makes this patch touch a lot of modules. In partiuclar tupleCon -> tupleDataCon. - I made constraint tuples known-key rather than wired-in. This is different to boxed/unboxed tuples, but it proved awkward to have all the superclass selectors wired-in. Easier just to use the standard mechanims. - While I was fiddling with known-key names, I split the TH Name definitions out of DsMeta into a new module THNames. That meant that the known-key names can all be gathered in PrelInfo, without causing module loops. - I found that the parser was parsing an import item like T( .. ) as a *data constructor* T, and then using setRdrNameSpace to fix it. Stupid! So I changed the parser to parse a *type constructor* T, which means less use of setRdrNameSpace. I also improved setRdrNameSpace to behave better on Exact Names. Largely on priciple; I don't think it matters a lot. - When compiling a data type declaration for a wired-in thing like tuples (,), or lists, we don't really need to look at the declaration. We have the wired-in thing! And not doing so avoids having to line up the uniques for data constructor workers etc. See Note [Declarations for wired-in things] - I found that FunDeps.oclose wasn't taking superclasses into account; easily fixed. - Some error message refactoring for invalid constraints in TcValidity - Haddock needs to absorb the change too; so there is a submodule update
