<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't return a panic in tcNestedSplice
In GHC.Tc.Gen.Splice.tcNestedSplice we were returning a
typechecked expression of "panic". That is usually OK, because
the result is discarded. But it happens that tcApp now looks at
the typechecked expression, trivially, to ask if it is tagToEnum.
So being bottom is bad.
Moreover a debug-trace might print it out.
So better to return a civilised expression, even though it is
usually discarded.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Add regression tests for #16244, #16245, #16758
Commit e3c374cc5bd7eb49649b9f507f9f7740697e3f70 ended up
fixing quite a few bugs:
* This commit fixes #16244 completely. A regression test has been
added.
* This commit fixes one program from #16245. (The program in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16245#note_211369 still
panics, and the program in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16245#note_211400 still
loops infinitely.) A regression test has been added for this
program.
* This commit fixes #16758. Accordingly, this patch removes the
`expect_broken` label from the `T16758` test case, moves it from
`should_compile` to `should_fail` (as it should produce an error
message), and checks in the expected stderr.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor hole constraints.
Previously, holes (both expression holes / out of scope variables and
partial-type-signature wildcards) were emitted as *constraints* via
the CHoleCan constructor. While this worked fine for error reporting,
there was a fair amount of faff in keeping these constraints in line.
In particular, and unlike other constraints, we could never change
a CHoleCan to become CNonCanonical. In addition:
* the "predicate" of a CHoleCan constraint was really the type
of the hole, which is not a predicate at all
* type-level holes (partial type signature wildcards) carried
evidence, which was never used
* tcNormalise (used in the pattern-match checker) had to create
a hole constraint just to extract it again; it was quite messy
The new approach is to record holes directly in WantedConstraints.
It flows much more nicely now.
Along the way, I did some cleaning up of commentary in
GHC.Tc.Errors.Hole, which I had a hard time understanding.
This was instigated by a future patch that will refactor
the way predicates are handled. The fact that CHoleCan's
"predicate" wasn't really a predicate is incompatible with
that future patch.
No test case, because this is meant to be purely internal.
It turns out that this change improves the performance of
the pattern-match checker, likely because fewer constraints
are sloshing about in tcNormalise. I have not investigated
deeply, but an improvement is not a surprise here:

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts: Zero block flags with -DZ
Block flags are very useful for determining the state of a block.
However, some block allocator users don't touch them, leading to
misleading values. Ensure that we zero then when zero-on-gc is set. This
is safe and makes the flags more useful during debugging.

Previously we would incorrectly set the failed_to_evac flag if we

things as dirty than strictly necessary. It also turned up a nasty but
which I will fix next.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">nonmoving: Fix handling of dirty objects
Previously we (incorrectly) relied on failed_to_evac to be "precise".
That is, we expected it to only be true if *all* of an object's fields
lived outside of the non-moving heap. However, does not match the
behavior of failed_to_evac, which is true if *any* of the object's
fields weren't promoted (meaning that some others *may* live in the
non-moving heap).
This is problematic as we skip the non-moving write barrier for dirty
objects (which we can only safely do if *all* fields point outside of
the non-moving heap).
Clearly this arises due to a fundamental difference in the behavior
expected of failed_to_evac in the moving and non-moving collector.
e.g., in the moving collector it is always safe to conservatively say
failed_to_evac=true whereas in the non-moving collector the safe value
is false.
This issue went unnoticed as I never wrote down the dirtiness
invariant enforced by the non-moving collector. We now define this
invariant as
An object being marked as dirty implies that all of its fields are
on the mark queue (or, equivalently, update remembered set).
To maintain this invariant we teach nonmovingScavengeOne to push the
fields of objects which we fail to evacuate to the update remembered
set. This is a simple and reasonably cheap solution and avoids the
complexity and fragility that other, more strict alternative invariants
would require.
All of this is described in a new Note, Note [Dirty flags in the
non-moving collector] in NonMoving.c.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Allow atomic update of NameCache in readHieFile
The situation arises in ghcide where multiple different threads may need to
update the name cache, therefore with the older interface it could happen
that you start reading a hie file with name cache A and produce name cache
A + B, but another thread in the meantime updated the namecache to A +
C. Therefore if you write the new namecache you will lose the A' updates
from the second thread.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactoring: Use bindSigTyVarsFV in rnMethodBinds
`rnMethodBinds` was explicitly using `xoptM` to determine if
`ScopedTypeVariables` is enabled before bringing type variables
bound by the class/instance header into scope. However, this `xoptM`
logic is already performed by the `bindSigTyVarsFV` function. This
patch uses `bindSigTyVarsFV` in `rnMethodBinds` to reduce the number
of places where we need to consult if `ScopedTypeVariables` is on.
This is purely refactoring, and there should be no user-visible
change in behavior.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Bump exceptions submodule so that dist-boot is .gitignore'd
`exceptions` is a stage-0 boot library as of commit
30272412fa437ab8e7a8035db94a278e10513413, which means that building
`exceptions` in a GHC tree will generate a `dist-boot` directory.
However, this directory was not specified in `exceptions`'
`.gitignore` file, which causes it to dirty up the current `git`
working directory.
Accordingly, this bumps the `exceptions` submodule to commit
ghc/packages/exceptions@23c0b8a50d7592af37ca09beeec16b93080df98f,
which adds `dist-boot` to the `.gitignore` file.

This reduces residency of compiler quite a bit on some programs.
Example stats when building T10370:
Before:
2,871,242,832 bytes allocated in the heap

33,941,448 bytes maximum residency (276 sample(s))
375,976 bytes maximum slop
83 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
After:
2,858,897,344 bytes allocated in the heap
4,629,255,440 bytes copied during GC
32,616,624 bytes maximum residency (278 sample(s))

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">CprAnal: Don't attach CPR sigs to expandable bindings (#18154)
Instead, look through expandable unfoldings in `cprTransform`.
See the new Note [CPR for expandable unfoldings]:
```
Long static data structures (whether top-level or not) like
xs = x1 : xs1
xs1 = x2 : xs2
xs2 = x3 : xs3
should not get CPR signatures, because they
* Never get WW'd, so their CPR signature should be irrelevant after analysis
(in fact the signature might even be harmful for that reason)
* Would need to be inlined/expanded to see their constructed product
* Recording CPR on them blows up interface file sizes and is redundant with
their unfolding. In case of Nested CPR, this blow-up can be quadratic!
But we can't just stop giving DataCon application bindings the CPR property,
for example
fac 0 = 1
fac n = n * fac (n-1)
fac certainly has the CPR property and should be WW'd! But FloatOut will
transform the first clause to
lvl = 1
fac 0 = lvl
If lvl doesn't have the CPR property, fac won't either. But lvl doesn't have a
CPR signature to extrapolate into a CPR transformer ('cprTransform'). So
instead we keep on cprAnal'ing through *expandable* unfoldings for these arity
0 bindings via 'cprExpandUnfolding_maybe'.
In practice, GHC generates a lot of (nested) TyCon and KindRep bindings, one
for each data declaration. It's wasteful to attach CPR signatures to each of
them (and intractable in case of Nested CPR).
```
Fixes #18154.

This implements chunks (2) and (3) of
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16762#note_270170. Namely,
it introduces a dedicated `HsPatSigType` AST type, which represents
the types that can appear in pattern signatures and term-level `RULE`
binders. Previously, these were represented with `LHsSigWcType`.
Although `LHsSigWcType` is isomorphic to `HsPatSigType`, the intended
semantics of the two types are slightly different, as evidenced by
the fact that they have different code paths in the renamer and
typechecker.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">DmdAnal: Improve handling of precise exceptions
This patch does two things: Fix possible unsoundness in what was called
the "IO hack" and implement part 2.1 of the "fixing precise exceptions"
plan in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/fixing-precise-exceptions,
which, in combination with !2956, supersedes !3014 and !2525.
**IO hack**
The "IO hack" (which is a fallback to preserve precise exceptions
semantics and thus soundness, rather than some smart thing that
increases precision) is called `exprMayThrowPreciseException` now.
I came up with two testcases exemplifying possible unsoundness (if
twisted enough) in the old approach:
- `T13380d`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when resorting
to manual state token threading and direct use of primops.
More details below.
- `T13380e`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when we have
Nested CPR. Not currently relevant, as we don't have Nested
CPR yet.
- `T13380f`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" for safe FFI
calls.
Basically, the IO hack assumed that precise exceptions can only be
thrown from a case scrutinee of type `(# State# RealWorld, _ #)`. I
couldn't come up with a program using the `IO` abstraction that violates
this assumption. But it's easy to do so via manual state token threading
and direct use of primops, see `T13380d`. Also similar code might be
generated by Nested CPR in the (hopefully not too) distant future, see
`T13380e`. Hence, we now have a more careful test in `forcesRealWorld`
that passes `T13380{d,e}` (and will hopefully be robust to Nested CPR).
**Precise exceptions**
In #13380 and #17676 we saw that we didn't preserve precise exception
semantics in demand analysis. We fixed that with minimal changes in
!2956, but that was terribly unprincipled.
That unprincipledness resulted in a loss of precision, which is tracked
by these new test cases:
- `T13380b`: Regression in dead code elimination, because !2956 was too
syntactic about `raiseIO#`
- `T13380c`: No need to apply the "IO hack" when the IO action may not
throw a precise exception (and the existing IO hack doesn't
detect that)
Fixing both issues in !3014 turned out to be too complicated and had
the potential to regress in the future. Hence we decided to only fix
`T13380b` and augment the `Divergence` lattice with a new middle-layer
element, `ExnOrDiv`, which means either `Diverges` (, throws an

This MachOp was introduced by 2c959a1894311e59cd2fd469c1967491c1e488f3

There are two different Notes named `[When to print foralls]`. The
most up-to-date one is in `GHC.Iface.Type`, but there is a second
one in `GHC.Core.TyCo.Ppr`. The latter is less up-to-date, as it was
written before GHC switched over to using ifaces to pretty-print

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Explicit Specificity
Implementation for Ticket #16393.
Explicit specificity allows users to manually create inferred type variables,
by marking them with braces.
This way, the user determines which variables can be instantiated through
visible type application.
The additional syntax is included in the parser, allowing users to write
braces in type variable binders (type signatures, data constructors etc).
This information is passed along through the renamer and verified in the
type checker.
The AST for type variable binders, data constructors, pattern synonyms,
partial signatures and Template Haskell has been updated to include the
specificity of type variables.
Minor notes:
- Bumps haddock submodule
- Disables pattern match checking in GHC.Iface.Type with GHC 8.8

It is rather confusing that when lint finds an error in a rule attached

...
In the RHS of foo
We add a clarifying line:
...
In the RHS of foo
In a rule attached to foo
The implication that the rule lives inside the RHS is a bit odd, but
this niggle is already present for unfoldings, whose pattern we are
following.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor linear reg alloc to remember past assignments.
When assigning registers we now first try registers we
assigned to in the past, instead of picking the "first"
one.
This is in extremely helpful when dealing with loops for
which variables are dead for part of the loop.
This is important for patterns like this:
foo = arg1
loop:
use(foo)
...
foo = getVal()
goto loop;
There we:
* assign foo to the register of arg1.
* use foo, it's dead after this use as it's overwritten after.
* do other things.
* look for a register to put foo in.
If we pick an arbitrary one it might differ from the register the
start of the loop expect's foo to be in.
To fix this we simply look for past register assignments for
the given variable. If we find one and the register is free we
use that register.
This reduces the need for fixup blocks which match the register
assignment between blocks. In the example above between the end
and the head of the loop.
This patch also moves branch weight estimation ahead of register
allocation and adds a flag to control it (cmm-static-pred).
* It means the linear allocator is more likely to assign the hotter
code paths first.
* If it assign these first we are:
+ Less likely to spill on the hot path.
+ Less likely to introduce fixup blocks on the hot path.
These two measure combined are surprisingly effective. Based on nofib
we get in the mean:
* -0.9% instructions executed
* -0.1% reads/writes
* -0.2% code size.
* -0.1% compiler allocations.
* -0.9% compile time.
* -0.8% runtime.
Most of the benefits are simply a result of removing redundant moves
and spills.
Reduced compiler allocations likely are the result of less code being
generated. (The added lookup is mostly non-allocating).

In #18053 we ended up with a suboptimal code layout because
the code layout algorithm didn't distinguish between conditional
and unconditional control flow.
We can completely eliminate unconditional control flow instructions
by placing blocks next to each other, not so much for conditionals.
In terms of implementation we simply give conditional branches less
weight before computing the layout.

A future PR to the bytestring library will make the internal
Data.ByteString.Internal.unsafePackAddress compute string length
with cstringLength#. This will improve the status quo because it is
eligible for constant folding.
Additionally, introduce a new data constructor to ForeignPtrContents
named FinalPtr. This additional data constructor, when used in the
IsString instance for ByteString, leads to more Core-to-Core
optimization opportunities, fewer runtime allocations, and smaller
binaries.
Also, this commit re-exports all the functions from GHC.CString
(including cstringLength#) in GHC.Exts. It also adds a new test
driver. This test driver is used to perform substring matches on Core
that is dumped after all the simplifier passes. In this commit, it is
used to check that constant folding of cstringLength# works.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">simplCore: Ignore ticks in rule templates
This fixes #17619, where a tick snuck in to the template of a rule,
resulting in a panic during rule matching. The tick in question was
introduced via post-inlining, as discussed in `Note [Simplifying
rules]`. The solution we decided upon was to simply ignore ticks in the
rule template, as discussed in `Note [Tick annotations in RULE
matching]`.
Fixes #18162.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix #18145 and also avoid needless work with implicit vars
- `forAllOrNothing` now is monadic, so we can trace whether we bind
an explicit `forall` or not.
- #18145 arose because the free vars calculation was needlessly
complex. It is now greatly simplified.
- Replaced some other implicit var code with `filterFreeVarsToBind`.

See `testsuite/tests/hiefile/should_run/HieQueries.hs` and
`testsuite/tests/hiefile/should_run/HieQueries.stdout` for an example of this
We add two new fields, `EvidenceVarBind` and `EvidenceVarUse` to the
`ContextInfo` associated with an Identifier. These are associated with the
appropriate identifiers for the evidence variables collected when we come across
`HsWrappers`, `TcEvBinds` and `IPBinds` while traversing the AST.
Instance dictionary and superclass selector dictionaries from `tcg_insts` and
classes defined in `tcg_tcs` are also recorded in the AST as originating from
their definition span
This allows us to save a complete picture of the evidence constructed by the
constraint solver, and will let us report this to the user, enabling features
like going to the instance definition from the invocation of a class method(or
any other method taking a constraint) and finding all usages of a particular
instance.
Additionally,
- Mark NodeInfo with an origin so we can differentiate between bindings
origininating in the source vs those in ghc
- Along with typeclass evidence info, also include information on Implicit
Parameters
- Add a few utility functions to HieUtils in order to query the new info

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">DmdAnal: Recognise precise exceptions from case alternatives (#18086)
Consider
```hs
m :: IO ()
m = do
putStrLn "foo"
error "bar"
```
`m` (from #18086) always throws a (precise or imprecise) exception or
diverges. Yet demand analysis infers `<L,A>` as demand signature instead
of `<L,A>x` for it.
That's because the demand analyser sees `putStrLn` occuring in a case
scrutinee and decides that it has to `deferAfterPreciseException`,
because `putStrLn` throws a precise exception on some control flow
paths. This will mask the `botDiv` `Divergence`of the single case alt
containing `error` to `topDiv`. Since `putStrLn` has `topDiv` itself,
the final `Divergence` is `topDiv`.
This is easily fixed: `deferAfterPreciseException` works by `lub`ing
with the demand type of a virtual case branch denoting the precise
exceptional control flow. We used `nopDmdType` before, but we can be
more precise and use `exnDmdType`, which is `nopDmdType` with `exnDiv`.
Now the `Divergence` from the case alt will degrade `botDiv` to `exnDiv`
instead of `topDiv`, which combines with the result from the scrutinee
to `exnDiv`, and all is well.
Fixes #18086.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix "build/elem" RULE.
An redundant constraint prevented the rule from matching.
Fixing this allows a call to elem on a known list to be translated
into a series of equality checks, and eventually a simple case
expression.
Surprisingly this seems to regress elem for strings. To avoid
this we now also allow foldrCString to inline and add an UTF8
variant. This results in elem being compiled to a tight
non-allocating loop over the primitive string literal which
performs a linear search.
In the process this commit adds UTF8 variants for some of the
functions in GHC.CString. This is required to make this work for
both ASCII and UTF8 strings.
There are also small tweaks to the CString related rules.
We now allow ourselfes the luxury to compare the folding function
via eqExpr, which helps to ensure the rule fires before we inline
foldrCString*. Together with a few changes to allow matching on both
the UTF8 and ASCII variants of the CString functions.

Many functions in this module are recursive and as such are marked
loop breakers. Which means they are unlikely to get an unfolding.
This is *bad*. We always want to specialize them to specific Monads.
Which requires a visible unfolding at the use site.
I rewrote the recursive ones from:
foo f x = ... foo x' ...
to
foo f x = go x
where
go x = ...
As well as giving some pragmas to make all of them available
for specialization.
The end result is a reduction of allocations of about -1.4% for

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Improve parser error messages for the @-operator
Since GHC diverges from the Haskell Report by allowing the user
to define (@) as an infix operator, we better give a good
error message when the user does so unintentionally.
In general, this is rather hard to do, as some failures will be
discovered only in the renamer or the type checker:
x :: (Integer, Integer)
x @ (a, b) = (1, 2)
This patch does *not* address this general case.
However, it gives much better error messages when the binding
is not syntactically valid:
pairs xs @ (_:xs') = zip xs xs'
Before this patch, the error message was rather puzzling:
<interactive>:1:1: error: Parse error in pattern: pairs
After this patch, the error message includes a hint:
<interactive>:1:1: error:
Parse error in pattern: pairs
In a function binding for the ‘@’ operator.
Perhaps you meant an as-pattern, which must not be surrounded by whitespace

With this patch, we always parse f @t as a type application,
thereby producing better error messages.
This steals two syntactic forms:
* Prefix form of the @-operator in expressions. Since the @-operator is
a divergence from the Haskell Report anyway, this is not a major loss.
* Prefix form of @-patterns. Since we are stealing loose infix form
anyway, might as well sacrifice the prefix form for the sake of much
better error messages.

We often have (ModuleName, Bool) or (Module, Bool) pairs for "extended"
module names (without or with a unit id) disambiguating boot and normal
modules. We think this is important enough across the compiler that it
deserves a new nominal product type. We do this with synnoyms and a
functor named with a `Gen` prefix, matching other newly created
definitions.
It was also requested that we keep custom `IsBoot` / `NotBoot` sum type.
So we have it too. This means changing many the many bools to use that
instead.

The correct threshold for log1mexp is -(log 2) with the current specification
of log1mexp. This change improves accuracy for large negative inputs.
To avoid code duplication, a small helper function is added;
it isn't the default implementation in Floating because it needs Ord.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Simple subsumption
This patch simplifies GHC to use simple subsumption.
Ticket #17775
Implements GHC proposal #287
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/
proposals/0287-simplify-subsumption.rst
All the motivation is described there; I will not repeat it here.
The implementation payload:
* tcSubType and friends become noticably simpler, because it no
longer uses eta-expansion when checking subsumption.
* No deeplyInstantiate or deeplySkolemise
That in turn means that some tests fail, by design; they can all
be fixed by eta expansion. There is a list of such changes below.
Implementing the patch led me into a variety of sticky corners, so
the patch includes several othe changes, some quite significant:
* I made String wired-in, so that
"foo" :: String rather than
"foo" :: [Char]
This improves error messages, and fixes #15679
* The pattern match checker relies on knowing about in-scope equality
constraints, andd adds them to the desugarer's environment using
addTyCsDs. But the co_fn in a FunBind was missed, and for some reason
simple-subsumption ends up with dictionaries there. So I added a
call to addTyCsDs. This is really part of #18049.
* I moved the ic_telescope field out of Implication and into
ForAllSkol instead. This is a nice win; just expresses the code
much better.
* There was a bug in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.tcDataFamInstHeader.
We called checkDataKindSig inside tc_kind_sig, /before/
solveEqualities and zonking. Obviously wrong, easily fixed.
* solveLocalEqualitiesX: there was a whole mess in here, around
failing fast enough. I discovered a bad latent bug where we
could successfully kind-check a type signature, and use it,
but have unsolved constraints that could fill in coercion
holes in that signature -- aargh.
It's all explained in Note [Failure in local type signatures]
in GHC.Tc.Solver. Much better now.
* I fixed a serious bug in anonymous type holes. IN
f :: Int -> (forall a. a -> _) -> Int
that "_" should be a unification variable at the /outer/
level; it cannot be instantiated to 'a'. This was plain
wrong. New fields mode_lvl and mode_holes in TcTyMode,
and auxiliary data type GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.HoleMode.
This fixes #16292, but makes no progress towards the more
ambitious #16082
* I got sucked into an enormous refactoring of the reporting of
equality errors in GHC.Tc.Errors, especially in
mkEqErr1
mkTyVarEqErr
misMatchMsg
misMatchMsgOrCND
In particular, the very tricky mkExpectedActualMsg function
is gone.
It took me a full day. But the result is far easier to understand.
(Still not easy!) This led to various minor improvements in error
output, and an enormous number of test-case error wibbles.
One particular point: for occurs-check errors I now just say
Can't match 'a' against '[a]'
rather than using the intimidating language of "occurs check".
* Pretty-printing AbsBinds
Tests review
* Eta expansions
T11305: one eta expansion
T12082: one eta expansion (undefined)
T13585a: one eta expansion
T3102: one eta expansion
T3692: two eta expansions (tricky)
T2239: two eta expansions
T16473: one eta
determ004: two eta expansions (undefined)
annfail06: two eta (undefined)
T17923: four eta expansions (a strange program indeed!)
tcrun035: one eta expansion
* Ambiguity check at higher rank. Now that we have simple
subsumption, a type like
f :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Simplify bindLHsTyVarBndrs and bindHsQTyVars
Both `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` and `bindHsQTyVars` take two separate
`Maybe` arguments, which I find terribly confusing. Thankfully, it's
possible to remove one `Maybe` argument from each of these functions,
which this patch accomplishes:
* `bindHsQTyVars` takes a `Maybe SDoc` argument, which is `Just` if
GHC should warn about any of the quantified type variables going
unused. However, every call site uses `Nothing` in practice. This
makes sense, since it doesn't really make sense to warn about
unused type variables bound by an `LHsQTyVars`. For instance, you
wouldn't warn about the `a` in `data Proxy a = Proxy` going unused.
As a result, I simply remove this `Maybe SDoc` argument altogether.
* `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` also takes a `Maybe SDoc` argument for the same
reasons that `bindHsQTyVars` took one. To make things more
confusing, however, `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` also takes a separate
`HsDocContext` argument, which is pretty-printed (to an `SDoc`) in
warnings and error messages.
In practice, the `Maybe SDoc` and the `HsDocContext` often contain
the same text. See the call sites for `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` in
`rnFamInstEqn` and `rnConDecl`, for instance. There are only a
handful of call sites where the text differs between the
`Maybe SDoc` and `HsDocContext` arguments:
* In `rnHsRuleDecl`, where the `Maybe SDoc` says "`In the rule`"
and the `HsDocContext` says "`In the transformation rule`".
* In `rnHsTyKi`/`rn_ty`, where the `Maybe SDoc` says
"`In the type`" but the `HsDocContext` is inhereted from the
surrounding context (e.g., if `rnHsTyKi` were called on a
top-level type signature, the `HsDocContext` would be
"`In the type signature`" instead)
In both cases, warnings/error messages arguably _improve_ by
unifying making the `Maybe SDoc`'s text match that of the
`HsDocContext`. As a result, I decided to remove the `Maybe SDoc`
argument to `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` entirely and simply reuse the text
from the `HsDocContext`. (I decided to change the phrase
"transformation rule" to "rewrite rule" while I was in the area.)
The `Maybe SDoc` argument has one other purpose: signaling when to
emit "`Unused quantified type variable`" warnings. To recover this
functionality, I replaced the `Maybe SDoc` argument with a
boolean-like `WarnUnusedForalls` argument. The only
`bindLHsTyVarBndrs` call site that chooses _not_ to emit these
warnings in `bindHsQTyVars`.

ultimately just return that this is not supported. Hence we'll add
a flag to the compiler to flat our disable loading dlls. This is

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make GADT constructors adhere to the forall-or-nothing rule properly
Issue #18191 revealed that the types of GADT constructors don't quite
adhere to the `forall`-or-nothing rule. This patch serves to clean up
this sad state of affairs somewhat. The main change is not in the
code itself, but in the documentation, as this patch introduces two
sections to the GHC User's Guide:
* A "Formal syntax for GADTs" section that presents a BNF-style
grammar for what is and isn't allowed in GADT constructor types.
This mostly exists to codify GHC's existing behavior, but it also
imposes a new restriction that addresses #18191: the outermost
`forall` and/or context in a GADT constructor is not allowed to be
surrounded by parentheses. Doing so would make these
`forall`s/contexts nested, and GADTs do not support nested
`forall`s/contexts at present.
* A "`forall`-or-nothing rule" section that describes exactly what
the `forall`-or-nothing rule is all about. Surprisingly, there was
no mention of this anywhere in the User's Guide up until now!
To adhere the new specification in the "Formal syntax for GADTs"
section of the User's Guide, the following code changes were made:
* A new function, `GHC.Hs.Type.splitLHsGADTPrefixTy`, was introduced.
This is very much like `splitLHsSigmaTy`, except that it avoids
splitting apart any parentheses, which can be syntactically
significant for GADT types. See
`Note [No nested foralls or contexts in GADT constructors]` in
`GHC.Hs.Type`.
* `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs`, an extension constructor for `XConDecl`, was
introduced so that `GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl` can return
it when given a prefix GADT constructor. Unlike `ConDeclGADT`,
`ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` does not split the GADT type into its argument
and result types, as this cannot be done until after the type is
renamed (see `Note [GADT abstract syntax]` in `GHC.Hs.Decls` for why
this is the case).
* `GHC.Renamer.Module.rnConDecl` now has an additional case for
`ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` that (1) splits apart the full `LHsType` into
its `forall`s, context, argument types, and result type, and
(2) checks for nested `forall`s/contexts. Step (2) used to be
performed the typechecker (in `GHC.Tc.TyCl.badDataConTyCon`) rather
than the renamer, but now the relevant code from the typechecker
can simply be deleted.
One nice side effect of this change is that we are able to give a
more accurate error message for GADT constructors that use visible
dependent quantification (e.g., `MkFoo :: forall a -> a -> Foo a`),
which improves the stderr in the `T16326_Fail6` test case.
Fixes #18191. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Always use rnImplicitBndrs to bring implicit tyvars into scope
This implements a first step towards #16762 by changing the renamer
to always use `rnImplicitBndrs` to bring implicitly bound type
variables into scope. The main change is in `rnFamInstEqn` and
`bindHsQTyVars`, which previously used _ad hoc_ methods of binding
their implicit tyvars.
There are a number of knock-on consequences:
* One of the reasons that `rnFamInstEqn` used an _ad hoc_ binding
mechanism was to give more precise source locations in
`-Wunused-type-patterns` warnings. (See
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16762#note_273343 for an
example of this.) However, these warnings are actually a little
_too_ precise, since implicitly bound type variables don't have
exact binding sites like explicitly bound type variables do.
A similar problem existed for
"`Different names for the same type variable`" errors involving
implicit tyvars bound by `bindHsQTyVars`.
Therefore, we simply accept the less precise (but more accurate)
source locations from `rnImplicitBndrs` in `rnFamInstEqn` and
`bindHsQTyVars`. See
`Note [Source locations for implicitly bound type variables]` in
`GHC.Rename.HsType` for the full story.
* In order for `rnImplicitBndrs` to work in `rnFamInstEqn`, it needs
to be able to look up names from the parent class (in the event
that we are renaming an associated type family instance). As a
result, `rnImplicitBndrs` now takes an argument of type
`Maybe assoc`, which is `Just` in the event that a type family
instance is associated with a class.
* Previously, GHC kept track of three type synonyms for free type
variables in the renamer: `FreeKiTyVars`, `FreeKiTyVarsDups`
(which are allowed to contain duplicates), and
`FreeKiTyVarsNoDups` (which contain no duplicates). However, making
is a distinction between `-Dups` and `-NoDups` is now pointless, as
all code that returns `FreeKiTyVars{,Dups,NoDups}` will eventually
end up being passed to `rnImplicitBndrs`, which removes duplicates.
As a result, I decided to just get rid of `FreeKiTyVarsDups` and
`FreeKiTyVarsNoDups`, leaving only `FreeKiTyVars`.
* The `bindLRdrNames` and `deleteBys` functions are now dead code, so
I took the liberty of removing them.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimisation in Unique.Supply
This patch switches on -fno-state-hack in GHC.Types.Unique.Supply.
It turned out that my fixes for #18078 (coercion floating) changed the
optimisation pathway for mkSplitUniqSupply in such a way that we had
an extra allocation inside the inner loop. Adding -fno-state-hack
fixed that -- and indeed the loop in mkSplitUniqSupply is a classic
example of the way in which -fno-state-hack can be bad; see #18238.
Moreover, the new code is better than the old. They allocate
the same, but the old code ends up with a partial application.
The net effect is that the test
perf/should_run/UniqLoop
runs 20% faster! From 2.5s down to 2.0s. The allocation numbers
are the same -- but elapsed time falls. Good!
The bad thing about this is that it's terribly delicate. But
at least it's a good example of such delicacy in action.
There is a long Note [Optimising the unique supply] which now
explains all this.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Implement cast worker/wrapper properly
The cast worker/wrapper transformation transforms
x = e |> co
into
y = e
x = y |> co
This is done by the simplifier, but we were being
careless about transferring IdInfo from x to y,
and about what to do if x is a NOINLNE function.
This resulted in a series of bugs:
#17673, #18093, #18078.
This patch fixes all that:
* Main change is in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify, and
the new prepareBinding function, which does this
cast worker/wrapper transform.
See Note [Cast worker/wrappers].
* There is quite a bit of refactoring around
prepareRhs, makeTrivial etc. It's nicer now.
* Some wrappers from strictness and cast w/w, notably those for
a function with a NOINLINE, should inline very late. There
wasn't really a mechanism for that, which was an existing bug
really; so I invented a new finalPhase = Phase (-1). It's used
for all simplifier runs after the user-visible phase 2,1,0 have
run. (No new runs of the simplifier are introduced thereby.)
See new Note [Compiler phases] in GHC.Types.Basic;
the main changes are in GHC.Core.Opt.Driver
* Doing this made me trip over two places where the AnonArgFlag on a
FunTy was being lost so we could end up with (Num a -> ty)
rather than (Num a => ty)
- In coercionLKind/coercionRKind
- In contHoleType in the Simplifier
I fixed the former by defining mkFunctionType and using it in
coercionLKind/RKind.
I could have done the same for the latter, but the information
is almost to hand. So I fixed the latter by
- adding sc_hole_ty to ApplyToVal (like ApplyToTy),
- adding as_hole_ty to ValArg (like TyArg)
- adding sc_fun_ty to StrictArg
Turned out I could then remove ai_type from ArgInfo. This is
just moving the deck chairs around, but it worked out nicely.
See the new Note [AnonArgFlag] in GHC.Types.Var
* When looking at the 'arity decrease' thing (#18093) I discovered
that stable unfoldings had a much lower arity than the actual
optimised function. That's what led to the arity-decrease
message. Simple solution: eta-expand.
It's described in Note [Eta-expand stable unfoldings]
in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify
* I also discovered that unsafeCoerce wasn't being inlined if
the context was boring. So (\x. f (unsafeCoerce x)) would
create a thunk -- yikes! I fixed that by making inlineBoringOK
a bit cleverer: see Note [Inline unsafeCoerce] in GHC.Core.Unfold.
I also found that unsafeCoerceName was unused, so I removed it.
I made a test case for #18078, and a very similar one for #17673.
The net effect of all this on nofib is very modest, but positive:

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix lookupGlobalOccRn_maybe sometimes reporting an error
In some cases it was possible for lookupGlobalOccRn_maybe to return an
error, when it should be returning a Nothing. If it called
lookupExactOcc_either when there were no matching GlobalRdrElts in the
otherwise case, it would return an error message. This could be caused
when lookupThName_maybe in Template Haskell was looking in different
namespaces (thRdrNameGuesses), guessing different namespaces that the
name wasn't guaranteed to be found in.
However, by addressing this some more accurate errors were being lost in
the conversion to Maybes. So some of the lookup* functions have been
shuffled about so that errors should always be ignored in
lookup*_maybes, and propagated otherwise.
This fixes #18263

The terminology changed over time and now package databases contain

instantiation, etc.). We should try to be consistent internally and use
"units": that's what this renaming does. Maybe one day we'll fix the UI
too (e.g. replace -package-id with -unit-id, we already have
-this-unit-id and ghc-pkg has -unit-id...) but it's not done in this
patch.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Trim the demand for recursive product types
Ticket #18304 showed that we need to be very careful
when exploring the demand (esp usage demand) on recursive
product types.
This patch solves the problem by trimming the demand on such types --
in effect, a form of "widening".
See the Note [Trimming a demand to a type] in DmdAnal, which explains
how I did this by piggy-backing on an existing mechansim for trimming
demands becuase of GADTs. The significant payload of this patch is
very small indeed:
* Make GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils.typeShape use RecTcChecker to
avoid looking through recursive types.
But on the way
* I found that ae_rec_tc was entirely inoperative and did nothing.
So I removed it altogether from DmdAnal.
* I moved some code around in DmdAnal and Demand.
(There are no actual changes in dmdFix.)
* I changed the API of DmsAnal.dmdAnalRhsLetDown to return
a StrictSig rather than a decorated Id
* I removed the dead function peelTsFuns from Demand
Performance effects:
Nofib: 0.0% changes. Not surprising, because they don't
use recursive products
Perf tests
T12227:
1% increase in compiler allocation, becuase $cto gets w/w'd.
It did not w/w before because it takes a deeply nested
argument, so the worker gets too many args, so we abandon w/w
altogether (see GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils.isWorkerSmallEnough)
With this patch we trim the demands. That is not strictly
necessary (since these Generic type constructors are like
tuples -- they can't cause a loop) but the net result is that
we now w/w $cto which is fine.
UniqLoop:
16% decrease in /runtime/ allocation. The UniqSupply is a
recursive product, so currently we abandon all strictness on
'churn'. With this patch 'churn' gets useful strictness, and
we w/w it. Hooray

UniqLoop

Previously we ci.sh would run with `set -e` implying that we wouldn't
push perf notes if the testsuite were to fail, even if it *only* failed
due to perf notes. This rendered the whole performance testing story
quite fragile as a single regressing commit would cause every successive
commit to fail since a new baseline would not be uploaded.
Fix this by ensuring that we always push performance notes.

Currently, `HsForAllTy` permits the combination of `ForallVis` and
`Inferred`, but you can't actually typecheck code that uses it
(e.g., `forall {a} ->`). This patch refactors `HsForAllTy` to use a
new `HsForAllTelescope` data type that makes a type-level distinction
between visible and invisible `forall`s such that visible `forall`s
do not track `Specificity`. That part of the patch is actually quite
small; the rest is simply changing consumers of `HsType` to
accommodate this new type.
Fixes #18235. Bumps the `haddock` submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts: Implement ghc-debug API
There are four components to this patch which make it possible to
implement `ghc-debug`.
1. Add four new functions to the RtsAPI.
* rts_pause and rts_unpause allow an external process to completely
pause and unpause the RTS.
* rts_listThreads and rts_listMiscRoots are used to find the current
roots of the garbage collector.
These changes also mean that `Task.h` is exposed to the user.
2. Generalise the `ghc-heap` API so that raw `Word`s can be returned
rather than actual objects. This is necessary when trying to decode
closures on an external process because the pointers in such closures
are correct for the internal rather than external process. If you used
the previous API then you would get a segfault as the garbage collector
would try to traverse into these nonsensical branches.
```
-- before
getClosureData :: a -> IO Closure
-- after
getClosureDataX :: (forall c . c -> IO (Ptr StgInfoTable, [Word], [b]))
-> a -> IO (GenClosure b)
```
For the normal case `b` is instantiated to `Box`, which contains a
pointer to a heap object.
```
data Box = Box a
-- GenClosure Box
```
For `ghc-debug` we instead just take the word of the address as we have
to explicitly interpret it on the external process.
```
GenClosure Word
```
3. Support for decoding `TSO` and `STACK` closures is partially
implemented. There is still quite a bit of work to do to finish both but
these at least allow us to make some more progress.
4. findPtr is generalised to take a callback argument. This means that
its result can be communicated to the debugger rather than just printing
out the result. The debugger has a function which invokes `findPtr` and
passes a callback which sends the result over a socket.

This makes sure ghc-heap decodes StgTSO and StgStack correctly.
To assert - otherwise dynamic - properties, a new, non-running TSO is
created in create_tso() (create_tso.c).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Revert changes to TSO.h
The memory layout of StgTSO isn't significant anymore as we decode it
with hsc2hs.
(Of course the basic structure of a closure with an info table must be
still in place, but that's not touched by this commit.)

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Adjust type of getClosureX to type of getClosureDataX
After a rebase the compiler complained:
libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap.hs:89:23: error:
• Couldn't match type: a -> IO (Ptr StgInfoTable, [Word], [b])
with: forall c. c -> IO (Ptr StgInfoTable, [Word], [b])
Expected: (forall c. c -> IO (Ptr StgInfoTable, [Word], [b]))
-> a -> IO (GenClosure b)
Actual: (a -> IO (Ptr StgInfoTable, [Word], [b]))
-> a -> IO (GenClosure b)
• In the expression: getClosureX
In an equation for ‘getClosureDataX’: getClosureDataX = getClosureX
In the instance declaration for ‘HasHeapRep a’
• Relevant bindings include
getClosureDataX :: (forall c.
c -> IO (Ptr StgInfoTable, [Word], [b]))
-> a -> IO (GenClosure b)
(bound at libraries/ghc-heap/GHC/Exts/Heap.hs:89:5)

89 | getClosureDataX = getClosureX
