<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Re-engineer the binder-swap transformation
The binder-swap transformation is implemented by the occurrence
analyser -- see Note [Binder swap] in OccurAnal. However it had
a very nasty corner in it, for the case where the case scrutinee
was a GlobalId. This led to trouble and hacks, and ultimately
to #16296.
This patch re-engineers how the occurrence analyser implements
the binder-swap, by actually carrying out a substitution rather
than by adding a let-binding. It's all described in
Note [The binder-swap substitution].
I did a few other things along the way
* Fix a bug in StgCse, which could allow a loop breaker to be CSE'd
away. See Note [Care with loop breakers] in StgCse. I think it can
only show up if occurrence analyser sets up bad loop breakers, but
still.
* Better commenting in SimplUtils.prepareAlts
* A little refactoring in CoreUnfold; nothing significant
e.g. rename CoreUnfold.mkTopUnfolding to mkFinalUnfolding
* Renamed CoreSyn.isFragileUnfolding to hasCoreUnfolding
* Move mkRuleInfo to CoreFVs
We observed respectively 4.6% and 5.9% allocation decreases for the following
tests:

Fix #13380 and #17676 by
1. Changing `raiseIO#` to have `topDiv` instead of `botDiv`
2. Give it special treatment in `Simplifier.Util.mkArgInfo`, treating it
as if it still had `botDiv`, to recover dead code elimination.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make Hadrian build with Cabal-3.2
GHC 8.10 ships with `Cabal-3.2.0.0`, so it would be convenient to
make Hadrian supporting building against 3.2.* instead of having to
rebuild the entirety of `Cabal-3.0.0.0`. There is one API change in
`Cabal-3.2.*` that affects Hadrian: the `synopsis` and `description`
functions now return `ShortText` instead of `String`. Since Hadrian
manipulates these `String`s in various places, I found that the
simplest fix was to use CPP to convert `ShortText` to `String`s
where appropriate.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix two ASSERT buglets in reifyDataCon
Two `ASSERT`s in `reifyDataCon` were always using `arg_tys`, but
`arg_tys` is not meaningful for GADT constructors. In fact, it's
worse than non-meaningful, since using `arg_tys` when reifying a
GADT constructor can lead to failed `ASSERT`ions, as #17305
demonstrates.
This patch applies the simplest possible fix to the immediate
problem. The `ASSERT`s now use `r_arg_tys` instead of `arg_tys`, as
the former makes sure to give something meaningful for GADT
constructors. This makes the panic go away at the very least. There
is still an underlying issue with the way the internals of
`reifyDataCon` work, as described in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17305#note_227023, but we
leave that as future work, since fixing the underlying issue is
much trickier (see
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17305#note_227087).

We now differentiate three cases of constructor bindings:
1)Bindings which we can "replace" with a reference to
an existing closure. Reference the replacement closure
when accessing the binding.
2)Bindings which we can "replace" as above. But we still
generate a closure which will be referenced by modules
importing this binding.
3)For any other binding generate a closure. Then reference
it.
Before this patch 1) did only apply to local bindings and we

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Major improvements to the specialiser
This patch is joint work of Alexis King and Simon PJ. It does some
significant refactoring of the type-class specialiser. Main highlights:
* We can specialise functions with types like
f :: Eq a => a -> Ord b => b => blah
where the classes aren't all at the front (#16473). Here we can
correctly specialise 'f' based on a call like
f @Int @Bool dEqInt x dOrdBool
This change really happened in an earlier patch
commit 2d0cf6252957b8980d89481ecd0b79891da4b14b
Author: Sandy Maguire <sandy@sandymaguire.me>
Date: Thu May 16 12:12:10 2019 -0400
work that this new patch builds directly on that work, and refactors
it a bit.
* We can specialise functions with implicit parameters (#17930)
g :: (?foo :: Bool, Show a) => a -> String
Previously we could not, but now they behave just like a non-class
argument as in 'f' above.
* We can specialise under-saturated calls, where some (but not all of
the dictionary arguments are provided (#17966). For example, we can
specialise the above 'f' based on a call
map (f @Int dEqInt) xs
even though we don't (and can't) give Ord dictionary.
This may sound exotic, but #17966 is a program from the wild, and
showed significant perf loss for functions like f, if you need
saturation of all dictionaries.
* We fix a buglet in which a floated dictionary had a bogus demand
(#17810), by using zapIdDemandInfo in the NonRec case of specBind.
* A tiny side benefit: we can drop dead arguments to specialised
functions; see Note [Drop dead args from specialisations]
* Fixed a bug in deciding what dictionaries are "interesting"; see
Note [Keep the old dictionaries interesting]
This is all achieved by by building on Sandy Macguire's work in
defining SpecArg, which mkCallUDs uses to describe the arguments of
the call. Main changes:
* Main work is in specHeader, which marched down the [InBndr] from the
function definition and the [SpecArg] from the call site, together.
* specCalls no longer has an arity check; the entire mechanism now
handles unders-saturated calls fine.
* mkCallUDs decides on an argument-by-argument basis whether to
specialise a particular dictionary argument; this is new.
See mk_spec_arg in mkCallUDs.
It looks as if there are many more lines of code, but I think that
all the extra lines are comments!

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't override proc CafInfos in ticky builds
Fixes #17947
When we have a ticky label for a proc, IdLabels for the ticky counter
and proc entry share the same Name. This caused overriding proc CafInfos
with the ticky CafInfos (i.e. NoCafRefs) during SRT analysis.
We now ignore the ticky labels when building SRTMaps. This makes sense
because:
- When building the current module they don't need to be in SRTMaps as
they're initialized as non-CAFFY (see mkRednCountsLabel), so they
don't take part in the dependency analysis and they're never added to
SRTs.
(Reminder: a "dependency" in the SRT analysis is a CAFFY dependency,
non-CAFFY uses are not considered as dependencies for the algorithm)
- They don't appear in the interfaces as they're not exported, so it
doesn't matter for cross-module concerns whether they're in the SRTMap
or not.
See also the new Note [Ticky labels in SRT analysis].

Issue #17151 was a very tricky example of a bug in which the
specialiser accidentally constructs a recurive dictionary,
so that everything turns into bottom.
I have fixed variants of this bug at least twice before:
see Note [Avoiding loops]. It was a bit of a struggle
to isolate the problem, greatly aided by the work that
Alexey Kuleshevich did in distilling a test case.
Once I'd understood the problem, it was not difficult to fix,
though it did lead me a bit of refactoring in specImports.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">simplifier: Kill off ufKeenessFactor
We used to have another factor, ufKeenessFactor, which would scale the
discounts before they were subtracted from the size. This was justified
with the following comment:
-- We multiple the raw discounts (args_discount and result_discount)
-- ty opt_UnfoldingKeenessFactor because the former have to do with
-- *size* whereas the discounts imply that there's some extra
-- *efficiency* to be gained (e.g. beta reductions, case reductions)
-- by inlining.
However, this is highly suspect since it means that we subtract a
*scaled* size from an absolute size, resulting in crazy (e.g. negative)
scores in some cases (#15304). We consequently killed off
ufKeenessFactor and bumped up the ufUseThreshold to compensate.
Adjustment of unfolding use threshold
=====================================
Since this removes a discount from our inlining heuristic, I revisited our
default choice of -funfolding-use-threshold to minimize the change in
overall inlining behavior. Specifically, I measured runtime allocations
and executable size of nofib and the testsuite performance tests built
using compilers (and core libraries) built with several values of
-funfolding-use-threshold.
This comes as a result of a quantitative comparison of testsuite
performance and code size as a function of ufUseThreshold, comparing
GHC trees using values of 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. The test set
consisted of nofib and the testsuite performance tests.
A full summary of these measurements are found in the description of
!2608
Comparing executable sizes (relative to the base commit) across all
nofib tests, we see that sizes are similar to the baseline:
gmean min max median
thresh
50 -6.36% -7.04% -4.82% -6.46%
60 -5.04% -5.97% -3.83% -5.11%
70 -2.90% -3.84% -2.31% -2.92%
80 -0.75% -2.16% -0.42% -0.73%
90 +0.24% -0.41% +0.55% +0.26%
100 +1.36% +0.80% +1.64% +1.37%
baseline +0.00% +0.00% +0.00% +0.00%
Likewise, looking at runtime allocations we see that 80 gives slightly
better optimisation than the baseline:
gmean min max median
thresh
50 +0.16% -0.16% +4.43% +0.00%
60 +0.09% -0.00% +3.10% +0.00%

Finally, I had to add a NOINLINE in T4306 to ensure that `upd` is
worker-wrappered as the test expects. This makes me wonder whether the
inlining heuristic is now too liberal as `upd` is quite a large
function. The same measure was taken in T12600.

This changes every unused TTG extension constructor to be strict in
its field so that the pattern-match coverage checker is smart enough
any such constructors are unreachable in pattern matches. This lets
us remove nearly every use of `noExtCon` in the GHC API. The only
ones we cannot remove are ones underneath uses of `ghcPass`, but that
is only because GHC 8.8's and 8.10's coverage checkers weren't smart
enough to perform this kind of reasoning. GHC HEAD's coverage
checker, on the other hand, _is_ smart enough, so we guard these uses
of `noExtCon` with CPP for now.
Bumps the `haddock` submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix CNF handling in compacting GC
Fixes #17937
Previously compacting GC simply ignored CNFs. This is mostly fine as
most (see "What about small compacts?" below) CNF objects don't have
outgoing pointers, and are "large" (allocated in large blocks) and large
objects are not moved or compacted.
However if we do GC *during* sharing-preserving compaction then the CNF
will have a hash table mapping objects that have been moved to the CNF
to their location in the CNF, to be able to preserve sharing.
This case is handled in the copying collector, in `scavenge_compact`,
where we evacuate hash table entries and then rehash the table.
Compacting GC ignored this case.
We now visit CNFs in all generations when threading pointers to the
compacted heap and thread hash table keys. A visited CNF is added to the
list `nfdata_chain`. After compaction is done, we re-visit the CNFs in
that list and rehash the tables.
The overhead is minimal: the list is static in `Compact.c`, and link
field is added to `StgCompactNFData` closure. Programs that don't use
CNFs should not be affected.
To test this CNF tests are now also run in a new way 'compacting_gc',
which just passes `-c` to the RTS, enabling compacting GC for the oldest
generation. Before this patch the result would be:
Unexpected failures:
compact_gc.run compact_gc [bad exit code (139)] (compacting_gc)
compact_huge_array.run compact_huge_array [bad exit code (1)] (compacting_gc)
With this patch all tests pass. I can also pass `-c -DS` without any
failures.
What about small compacts? Small CNFs are still not handled by the
compacting GC. However so far I'm unable to write a test that triggers a
runtime panic ("update_fwd: unknown/strange object") by allocating a
small CNF in a compated heap. It's possible that I'm missing something
and it's not possible to have a small CNF.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Significant refactor of Lint
This refactoring of Lint was triggered by #17923, which is
fixed by this patch.
The main change is this. Instead of
lintType :: Type -> LintM LintedKind
we now have
lintType :: Type -> LintM LintedType
Previously, all of typeKind was effectively duplicate in lintType.
Moreover, since we have an ambient substitution, we still had to
apply the substition here and there, sometimes more than once. It
was all very tricky, in the end, and made my head hurt.
Now, lintType returns a fully linted type, with all substitutions
performed on it. This is much simpler.
The same thing is needed for Coercions. Instead of
lintCoercion :: OutCoercion
-> LintM (LintedKind, LintedKind,
LintedType, LintedType, Role)
we now have
lintCoercion :: Coercion -> LintM LintedCoercion
Much simpler! The code is shorter and less bug-prone.
There are a lot of knock on effects. But life is now better.

This patch:
1. Writes up a specification for how the types of top-level field
selectors should be determined in a new section of the GHC User's
Guide, and
2. Makes GHC actually implement that specification by using
`conLikeUserTyVarBinders` in `mkOneRecordSelector` to preserve the
order and specificity of type variables written by the user.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Zero out pinned block alignment slop when profiling
The heap profiler currently cannot traverse pinned blocks because of
alignment slop. This used to just be a minor annoyance as the whole block
is accounted into a special cost center rather than the respective object's
CCS, cf. #7275. However for the new root profiler we would like to be able
to visit _every_ closure on the heap. We need to do this so we can get rid
of the current 'flip' bit hack in the heap traversal code.
Since info pointers are always non-zero we can in principle skip all the
slop in the profiler if we can rely on it being zeroed. This assumption
caused problems in the past though, commit a586b33f8e ("rts: Correct
handling of LARGE ARR_WORDS in LDV profiler"), part of !1118, tried to use
the same trick for BF_LARGE objects but neglected to take into account that
shrink*Array# functions don't ensure that slop is zeroed when not
compiling with profiling.
Later, commit 0c114c6599 ("Handle large ARR_WORDS in heap census (fix
as we will only be assuming slop is zeroed when profiling is on.
This commit also reduces the ammount of slop we introduce in the first
place by calculating the needed alignment before doing the allocation for
small objects where we know the next available address. For large objects
we don't know how much alignment we'll have to do yet since those details
are hidden behind the allocateMightFail function so there we continue to
allocate the maximum additional words we'll need to do the alignment.
So we don't have to duplicate all this logic in the cmm code we pull it
into the RTS allocatePinned function instead.

this wrong. We set 'prim' to true in overwritingClosureOfs because we

We've had this longstanding issue in the heap profiler, where the time of
the last sample in the profile is sometimes way off causing the rendered
graph to be quite useless for long runs.
It seems to me the problem is that we use mut_user_time() for the last
sample as opposed to getRTSStats(), which we use when calling heapProfile()
in GC.c.
The former is equivalent to getProcessCPUTime() but the latter does
some additional stuff:
getProcessCPUTime() - end_init_cpu - stats.gc_cpu_ns -
stats.nonmoving_gc_cpu_ns
So to fix this just use getRTSStats() in both places.

This fixes #18044, where a shadowed variable was incorrectly substituted
by the binder swap on the RHS of a floated-in letrec. This can only
happen when the uniques line up *just* right, so writing a regression
test would be very difficult, but at least the fix is small and
straightforward.

Now that DataCon wrappers don’t inline until phase 0 (see commit
b78cc64e923716ac0512c299f42d4d0012306c05), it’s important that
case-of-known-constructor and RULE matching be able to see saturated
applications of DataCon wrappers in unfoldings. Making them conlike is a
natural way to do it, since they are, in fact, precisely the sort of
thing the CONLIKE pragma exists to solve.
Fixes #18012.
This also bumps the version of the parsec submodule to incorporate a
patch that avoids a metric increase on the haddock perf tests. The
increase was not really a flaw in this patch, as parsec was implicitly
relying on inlining heuristics. The patch to parsec just adds some
INLINABLE pragmas, and we get a nice performance bump out of it (well
beyond the performance we lost from this patch).

In tab-completion for the `:break` command, only those
identifiers should be shown, that are accepted in the
`:break` command. Hence these identifiers must be
- defined in an interpreted module
- top-level
- currently in scope
- listed in a `ModBreaks` value as a possible breakpoint.
The identifiers my be qualified or unqualified.
To get all possible top-level breakpoints for tab-completeion
with the correct qualification do:
1. Build the list called `pifsBreaks` of all pairs of
(Identifier, module-filename) from the `ModBreaks` values.
Here all identifiers are unqualified.
2. Build the list called `pifInscope` of all pairs of
(Identifiers, module-filename) with identifiers from
the `GlobalRdrEnv`. Take only those identifiers that are
in scope and have the correct prefix.
Here the identifiers may be qualified.
3. From the `pifInscope` list seclect all pairs that can be
found in the `pifsBreaks` list, by comparing only the
unqualified part of the identifier.
The remaining identifiers can be used for tab-completion.
This ensures, that we show only identifiers, that can be used
in a `:break` command.

This patch implements eager instantiation, a small but critical change
to the type inference engine, #17173. The main change is this:
When inferring types, always return an instantiated type
(for now, deeply instantiated; in future shallowly instantiated)
There is more discussion in
https://www.tweag.io/posts/2020-04-02-lazy-eager-instantiation.html
There is quite a bit of refactoring in this patch:
* The ir_inst field of GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.InferResultk
has entirely gone. So tcInferInst and tcInferNoInst have collapsed
into tcInfer.
* Type inference of applications, via tcInferApp and
tcInferAppHead, are substantially refactored, preparing
the way for Quick Look impredicativity.
* New pure function GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.collectHsArgs and applyHsArgs
are beatifully dual. We can see the zipper!
* GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.tcArgs is now much nicer; no longer needs to return
a wrapper
* In HsExpr, HsTypeApp now contains the the actual type argument,
and is used in desugaring, rather than putting it in a mysterious
wrapper.
* I struggled a bit with good error reporting in
Unify.matchActualFunTysPart. It's a little bit simpler than before,
but still not great.
Some smaller things
* Rename tcPolyExpr --> tcCheckExpr
tcMonoExpr --> tcLExpr
* tcPatSig moves from GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType to GHC.Tc.Gen.Pat

Issue #18076 drew my attention to the undocumented `-fast-llvm` flag for
the LLVM code generator introduced in
22733532171330136d87533d523f565f2a4f102f. Speaking to Moritz about this,
the motivation for this flag was to avoid potential incompatibilities
between LLVM and the assembler/linker toolchain by making LLVM
responsible for machine-code generation.
Unfortunately, this cannot possibly work: the LLVM backend's mangler
performs a number of transforms on the assembler generated by LLVM that
are necessary for correctness. These are currently:
* mangling Haskell functions' symbol types to be `object` instead of
`function` on ELF platforms (necessary for tables-next-to-code)
* mangling AVX instructions to ensure that we don't assume alignment
(which LLVM otherwise does)
* mangling Darwin's subsections-via-symbols directives
Given that these are all necessary I don't believe that we can support
`-fast-llvm`. Let's rather remove it.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Trees That Grow refactor for `ConPat` and `CoPat`
- `ConPat{In,Out}` -> `ConPat`
- `CoPat` -> `XPat (CoPat ..)`
Note that `GHC.HS.*` still uses `HsWrap`, but only when `p ~ GhcTc`.
After this change, moving the type family instances out of `GHC.HS.*` is
sufficient to break the cycle.
Add XCollectPat class to decide how binders are collected from XXPat based on the pass.
Previously we did this with IsPass, but that doesn't work for Haddock's
DocNameI, and the constraint doesn't express what actual distinction is being
made. Perhaps a class for collecting binders more generally is in order, but we
haven't attempted this yet.
Pure refactor of code around ConPat
- InPat/OutPat synonyms removed
- rename several identifiers
- redundant constraints removed
- move extension field in ConPat to be first
- make ConPat use record syntax more consistently
Fix T6145 (ConPatIn became ConPat)
Add comments from SPJ.
Add comment about haddock's use of CollectPass.
Updates haddock submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Switch order on `GhcMake.IsBoot`
In !1798 we were requested to replace many `Bool`s with this data type.
But those bools had `False` meaning `NotBoot`, so the `Ord` instance
would be flipped if we use this data-type as-is.
Since the planned formally-`Bool` occurrences vastly outnumber the
current occurrences, we figured it would be better to conform the `Ord`
instance to how the `Bool` is used now, fixing any issues, rather than
fix them currently with the bigger refactor later in !1798. That way,
!1798 can be a "pure" refactor with no behavioral changes.

The idea being that when a builder('s command) fails, we quite likely want to
have all the information available to figure out why. Depending on the builder
_and_ the particular problem, the useful bits of information can be printed
on stdout or stderr.
We accomplish this by defining a simple wrapper for Shake's `cmd` function,
that just _always_ captures both streams in case the command returns a non-zero
exit code, and by using this wrapper everywhere in `hadrian/src/Builder.hs`.
Fixes #18089.

Unlike other tuples, which use special syntax and are "known" by way

use special syntax. Therefore, in order to make sure that the
internals of GHC are aware of the `data Unit a = Unit a` definition
in `GHC.Tuple`, we give `Unit` known keys. For the full details, see
`Note [One-tuples] (Wrinkle: Make boxed one-tuple names have known keys)`

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactoring unit management code
Over the years the unit management code has been modified a lot to keep
up with changes in Cabal (e.g. support for several library components in
the same package), to integrate BackPack, etc. I found it very hard to
understand as the terminology wasn't consistent, was referring to past
concepts, etc.
The terminology is now explained as clearly as I could in the Note
"About Units" and the code is refactored to reflect it.
-------------------
Many names were misleading: UnitId is not an Id but could be a virtual
unit (an indefinite one instantiated on the fly), IndefUnitId
constructor may contain a definite instantiated unit, etc.
* Rename IndefUnitId into InstantiatedUnit
* Rename IndefModule into InstantiatedModule
* Rename UnitId type into Unit
* Rename IndefiniteUnitId constructor into VirtUnit
* Rename DefiniteUnitId constructor into RealUnit
* Rename packageConfigId into mkUnit
* Rename getPackageDetails into unsafeGetUnitInfo
* Rename InstalledUnitId into UnitId
Remove references to misleading ComponentId: a ComponentId is just an
indefinite unit-id to be instantiated.
* Rename ComponentId into IndefUnitId
* Rename ComponentDetails into UnitPprInfo
* Fix display of UnitPprInfo with empty version: this is now used for
units dynamically generated by BackPack
Generalize several types (Module, Unit, etc.) so that they can be used
with different unit identifier types: UnitKey, UnitId, Unit, etc.
* GenModule: Module, InstantiatedModule and InstalledModule are now
instances of this type
* Generalize DefUnitId, IndefUnitId, Unit, InstantiatedUnit,
PackageDatabase
Replace BackPack fake "hole" UnitId by a proper HoleUnit constructor.
Add basic support for UnitKey. They should be used more in the future to
avoid mixing them up with UnitId as we do now.
Add many comments.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Pick up `EvVar`s bound in `HsWrapper`s for long-distance info
`HsWrapper`s introduce evidence bindings through `WpEvLam` which the
pattern-match coverage checker should be made aware of.
Failing to do so caused #18049, where the resulting impreciseness of
imcompleteness warnings seemingly contradicted with
`-Winaccessible-code`.
The solution is simple: Collect all the evidence binders of an
`HsWrapper` and add it to the ambient `Deltas` before desugaring
the wrapped expression.
But that means we pick up many more evidence bindings, even when they
wrap around code without a single pattern match to check! That regressed
`T3064` by over 300%, so now we are adding long-distance info lazily
through judicious use of `unsafeInterleaveIO`.
Fixes #18049.

Normally, we aren’t supposed to generated any nested casts, since mkCast
takes care to flatten them, but the simple optimizer didn’t use mkCast,
so they could show up after inlining. This isn’t really a problem, since
the simplifier will clean them up immediately anyway, but it can clutter
the -ddump-ds output, and it’s an extremely easy fix.

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.

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;">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;">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
4,693,328,008 bytes copied during GC
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))
314,400 bytes maximum slop
80 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
So -3.9% residency, -1.3% bytes copied and -0.4% allocations.

<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.
See also the new `Note [Pattern signature binders and scoping]` in
`GHC.Hs.Types`.

<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
imprecise exception) or throws a *precise* exception.
See the wiki page on Step 2.1 for more implementational details:

<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

We add a clarifying line:

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

<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.

I added a FixedLengthEncoding newtype to Binary who's instances
interpret their argument as a collection of bytes instead of a number.
We then use this when writing/reading magic numbers to the iface file.
I also took the libery to remove the dummy iface field.
This fixes #18180.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Implement cstringLength# and FinalPtr
This function and its accompanying rule resolve issue #5218.
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.

This fixes #17619, where a tick snuck in to the template of a rule,

introduced via post-inlining, as discussed in `Note [Simplifying

rule template, as discussed in `Note [Tick annotations in RULE

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

While ticky-profiling the typechecker I noticed that hundreds of
millions of SDocs are being allocated just in case -ddump-*-trace is
enabled. This is awful.
We avoid this by ensuring that the dump flag check is inlined into the
call site, ensuring that the tracing document needn't be allocated
unless it's actually needed.
See Note [INLINE conditional tracing utilities] for details.

<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

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.

<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

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Improve parser error messages for TypeApplications
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

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
is no longer ambiguous, because we could write
g :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int
g = f
and it'd typecheck just fine. But f's type is a bit
suspicious, and we might want to consider making the
ambiguity check do a check on each sub-term. Meanwhile,
these tests are accepted, whereas they were previously
rejected as ambiguous:
T7220a
T15438
T10503
T9222
* Some more interesting error message wibbles
T13381: Fine: one error (Int ~ Exp Int)
rather than two (Int ~ Exp Int, Exp Int ~ Int)
T9834: Small change in error (improvement)
T10619: Improved
T2414: Small change, due to order of unification, fine
T2534: A very simple case in which a change of unification order
means we get tow unsolved constraints instead of one
tc211: bizarre impredicative tests; just accept this for now

<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`.

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

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Rename Package into Unit
The terminology changed over time and now package databases contain
"units" (there can be several units compiled from a single Cabal
package: one per-component, one for each option set, one per
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
Metric Decrease:
UniqLoop

Previously we ci.sh would run with `set -e` implying that we wouldn't

quite fragile as a single regressing commit would cause every successive

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.

Previously CoreToStg would unconditionally discard cases of the form:

and rather replace the whole thing with `rhs`. However, in some cases
(see #18227) the case binder is still live, resulting in unbound

binder is dead.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">FFI: Fix pass small ints in foreign call wrappers
The Haskell calling convention requires integer parameters smaller
than wordsize to be promoted to wordsize (where the upper bits are
don't care). To access such small integer parameter read a word from
the parameter array and then cast that word to the small integer
target type.
Fixes #15933
