-- a number of include files within the compiler and optionally to produce
-- human-readable documentation.
--
-- It should first be preprocessed.

-- Information on how PrimOps are implemented and the steps necessary to
-- add a new one can be found in the Commentary:

--  http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/PrimOps

-- This file is divided into named sections, each containing or more
-- primop entries. Section headers have the format:
--
--	section "section-name" {description}
--
-- This information is used solely when producing documentation; it is
-- otherwise ignored.  The description is optional.
--
-- The format of each primop entry is as follows:
--
--	primop internal-name "name-in-program-text" type category {description} attributes

-- The default attribute values which apply if you don't specify
-- other ones.  Attribute values can be True, False, or arbitrary
-- text between curly brackets.  This is a kludge to enable 
-- processors of this file to easily get hold of simple info
-- (eg, out_of_line), whilst avoiding parsing complex expressions
-- needed for strictness info.

section "The word size story."
	{Haskell98 specifies that signed integers (type {\tt Int})
	 must contain at least 30 bits. GHC always implements {\tt
	 Int} using the primitive type {\tt Int\#}, whose size equals
	 the {\tt MachDeps.h} constant {\tt WORD\_SIZE\_IN\_BITS}.
	 This is normally set based on the {\tt config.h} parameter
	 {\tt SIZEOF\_HSWORD}, i.e., 32 bits on 32-bit machines, 64
	 bits on 64-bit machines.  However, it can also be explicitly
	 set to a smaller number, e.g., 31 bits, to allow the
	 possibility of using tag bits. Currently GHC itself has only
	 32-bit and 64-bit variants, but 30 or 31-bit code can be
	 exported as an external core file for use in other back ends.

	 GHC also implements a primitive unsigned integer type {\tt
	 Word\#} which always has the same number of bits as {\tt
	 Int\#}.
	
	 In addition, GHC supports families of explicit-sized integers
	 and words at 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits, with the usual
	 arithmetic operations, comparisons, and a range of
	 conversions.  The 8-bit and 16-bit sizes are always
	 represented as {\tt Int\#} and {\tt Word\#}, and the
	 operations implemented in terms of the the primops on these
	 types, with suitable range restrictions on the results (using
	 the {\tt narrow$n$Int\#} and {\tt narrow$n$Word\#} families
	 of primops.  The 32-bit sizes are represented using {\tt
	 Int\#} and {\tt Word\#} when {\tt WORD\_SIZE\_IN\_BITS}
	 $\geq$ 32; otherwise, these are represented using distinct
	 primitive types {\tt Int32\#} and {\tt Word32\#}. These (when
	 needed) have a complete set of corresponding operations;
	 however, nearly all of these are implemented as external C
	 functions rather than as primops.  Exactly the same story
	 applies to the 64-bit sizes.  All of these details are hidden
	 under the {\tt PrelInt} and {\tt PrelWord} modules, which use
	 {\tt \#if}-defs to invoke the appropriate types and
	 operators.

	 Word size also matters for the families of primops for
	 indexing/reading/writing fixed-size quantities at offsets
	 from an array base, address, or foreign pointer.  Here, a
	 slightly different approach is taken.  The names of these
	 primops are fixed, but their {\it types} vary according to
	 the value of {\tt WORD\_SIZE\_IN\_BITS}. For example, if word
	 size is at least 32 bits then an operator like
	 \texttt{indexInt32Array\#} has type {\tt ByteArray\# -> Int\#
	 -> Int\#}; otherwise it has type {\tt ByteArray\# -> Int\# ->
	 Int32\#}.  This approach confines the necessary {\tt
	 \#if}-defs to this file; no conditional compilation is needed
	 in the files that expose these primops.

	 Finally, there are strongly deprecated primops for coercing
         between {\tt Addr\#}, the primitive type of machine
         addresses, and {\tt Int\#}.  These are pretty bogus anyway,
         but will work on existing 32-bit and 64-bit GHC targets; they
         are completely bogus when tag bits are used in {\tt Int\#},
         so are not available in this case.  }

   {Return non-zero if there is any possibility that the upper word of a
    signed integer multiply might contain useful information.  Return
    zero only if you are completely sure that no overflow can occur.
    On a 32-bit platform, the recommmended implementation is to do a 
    32 x 32 -> 64 signed multiply, and subtract result[63:32] from
    (result[31] >>signed 31).  If this is zero, meaning that the 
    upper word is merely a sign extension of the lower one, no
    overflow can occur.

    On a 64-bit platform it is not always possible to 
    acquire the top 64 bits of the result.  Therefore, a recommended 
    implementation is to take the absolute value of both operands, and 
    return 0 iff bits[63:31] of them are zero, since that means that their 
    magnitudes fit within 31 bits, so the magnitude of the product must fit 
    into 62 bits.

    If in doubt, return non-zero, but do make an effort to create the
    correct answer for small args, since otherwise the performance of
    \texttt{(*) :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer} will be poor.

pseudoop   "seq"
   a -> b -> b
   { Evaluates its first argument to head normal form, and then returns its second
	argument as the result. }

pseudoop   "inline"
   a -> a
   { The call {\tt (inline f)} arranges that f is inlined, regardless of its size.
	More precisely, the call {\tt (inline f)} rewrites to the right-hand side of
	{\tt f}'s definition. This allows the programmer to control inlining from a
	particular call site rather than the definition site of the function (c.f.
	{\tt INLINE} pragmas in User's Guide, Section 7.10.3, "INLINE and NOINLINE
	pragmas").

	This inlining occurs regardless of the argument to the call or the size of
	{\tt f}'s definition; it is unconditional. The main caveat is that {\tt f}'s
	definition must be visible to the compiler. That is, {\tt f} must be
	{\tt let}-bound in the current scope. If no inlining takes place, the
	{\tt inline} function expands to the identity function in Phase zero; so its
	use imposes no overhead.

	It is good practice to mark the function with an INLINABLE pragma at
        its definition, (a) so that GHC guarantees to expose its unfolding regardless
        of size, and (b) so that you have control over exactly what is inlined. }

pseudoop   "lazy"
   a -> a
   { The {\tt lazy} function restrains strictness analysis a little. The call
	{\tt (lazy e)} means the same as {\tt e}, but {\tt lazy} has a magical
	property so far as strictness analysis is concerned: it is lazy in its first
	argument, even though its semantics is strict. After strictness analysis has
	run, calls to {\tt lazy} are inlined to be the identity function.

	This behaviour is occasionally useful when controlling evaluation order.
	Notably, {\tt lazy} is used in the library definition of {\tt Control.Parallel.par}:

	{\tt par :: a -> b -> b}

	{\tt par x y = case (par\# x) of \_ -> lazy y}

	If {\tt lazy} were not lazy, {\tt par} would look strict in {\tt y} which
	would defeat the whole purpose of {\tt par}.

	Like {\tt seq}, the argument of {\tt lazy} can have an unboxed type. }

primtype Any a
	{ The type constructor {\tt Any} is type to which you can unsafely coerce any
	lifted type, and back. 

	  * It is lifted, and hence represented by a pointer

	  * It does not claim to be a {\it data} type, and that's important for
	    the code generator, because the code gen may {\it enter} a data value
	    but never enters a function value.  

	It's also used to instantiate un-constrained type variables after type
	checking.  For example

	{\tt length Any []}

	Annoyingly, we sometimes need {\tt Any}s of other kinds, such as {\tt (* -> *)} etc.
	This is a bit like tuples.   We define a couple of useful ones here,
	and make others up on the fly.  If any of these others end up being exported
	into interface files, we'll get a crash; at least until we add interface-file
	syntax to support them. }

pseudoop   "unsafeCoerce#"
   a -> b
   { The function {\tt unsafeCoerce\#} allows you to side-step the typechecker entirely. That
	is, it allows you to coerce any type into any other type. If you use this function,
	you had better get it right, otherwise segmentation faults await. It is generally
	used when you want to write a program that you know is well-typed, but where Haskell's
	type system is not expressive enough to prove that it is well typed.

        The following uses of {\tt unsafeCoerce\#} are supposed to work (i.e. not lead to
        spurious compile-time or run-time crashes):

         * Casting any lifted type to {\tt Any}

         * Casting {\tt Any} back to the real type

         * Casting an unboxed type to another unboxed type of the same size
           (but not coercions between floating-point and integral types)

         * Casting between two types that have the same runtime representation.  One case is when
           the two types differ only in "phantom" type parameters, for example
           {\tt Ptr Int} to {\tt Ptr Float}, or {\tt [Int]} to {\tt [Float]} when the list is 
           known to be empty.  Also, a {\tt newtype} of a type {\tt T} has the same representation
           at runtime as {\tt T}.

        Other uses of {\tt unsafeCoerce\#} are undefined.  In particular, you should not use
	{\tt unsafeCoerce\#} to cast a T to an algebraic data type D, unless T is also
	an algebraic data type.  For example, do not cast {\tt Int->Int} to {\tt Bool}, even if
        you later cast that {\tt Bool} back to {\tt Int->Int} before applying it.  The reasons
        have to do with GHC's internal representation details (for the congnoscenti, data values
	can be entered but function closures cannot).  If you want a safe type to cast things
	to, use {\tt Any}, which is not an algebraic data type.
	
        }

-- NB. It is tempting to think that casting a value to a type that it doesn't have is safe
-- as long as you don't "do anything" with the value in its cast form, such as seq on it.  This
-- isn't the case: the compiler can insert seqs itself, and if these happen at the wrong type,
-- Bad Things Might Happen.  See bug #1616: in this case we cast a function of type (a,b) -> (a,b)
-- to () -> () and back again.  The strictness analyser saw that the function was strict, but
-- the wrapper had type () -> (), and hence the wrapper de-constructed the (), the worker re-constructed
-- a new (), with the result that the code ended up with "case () of (a,b) -> ...".
