<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts: Specialize hashing at call site rather than in struct.
Separate word and string hash tables on the type level, and do not store
the hashing function. Thus when a different hash function is desire it
is provided upon accessing the table. This is worst case the same as
before the change, and in the majority of cases is better. Also mark the
functions for aggressive inlining to improve performance. {F1686506}

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Warn on inferred polymorphic recursion
Silly users sometimes try to use visible dependent quantification
and polymorphic recursion without a CUSK or SAK. This causes
unexpected errors. So we now adjust expectations with a bit
of helpful messaging.
Closes #17541 and closes #17131.

The previous implementation was extremely complicated, seemingly to
allow the local and CI namespaces to be searched incrementally. However,
it's quite unclear why this is needed and moreover the implementation
seems to have had quadratic runtime cost in the search depth(!).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use "OrCoVar" functions less
As described in #17291, we'd like to separate coercions and expressions
in a more robust fashion.
This is a small step in this direction.
- `mkLocalId` now panicks on a covar.
Calls where this was not the case were changed to `mkLocalIdOrCoVar`.
- Don't use "OrCoVar" functions in places where we know the type is
not a coercion.

Previously it would hackily look at the flavour name to determine
whether LLVM was used to build stage2 ghc. However, this didn't work at
all with Hadrian and would miss cases like ARM where we use the LLVM
backend by default.
See #16087 for the motivation for why ghc_built_by_llvm is needed at
all. This should catch one of the ARMv7 failures described in #17555.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Add GHC-API logging hooks
* Add 'dumpAction' hook to DynFlags.
It allows GHC API users to catch dumped intermediate codes and
information. The format of the dump (Core, Stg, raw text, etc.) is now
reported allowing easier automatic handling.
* Add 'traceAction' hook to DynFlags.
Some dumps go through the trace mechanism (for instance unfoldings that
have been considered for inlining). This is problematic because:
1) dumps aren't written into files even with -ddump-to-file on
2) dumps are written on stdout even with GHC API
3) in this specific case, dumping depends on unsafe globally stored
DynFlags which is bad for GHC API users
We introduce 'traceAction' hook which allows GHC API to catch those
traces and to avoid using globally stored DynFlags.
* Avoid dumping empty logs via dumpAction/traceAction (but still write
empty files to keep the existing behavior)

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Avoid race condition in hDuplicateTo
In our codebase we have some code along the lines of
```
newStdout <- hDuplicate stdout
stderr `hDuplicateTo` stdout
```
to avoid stray `putStrLn`s from corrupting a protocol (LSP) that is
run over stdout.
On CI we have seen a bunch of issues where `dup2` returned `EBUSY` so
this fails with `ResourceExhausted` in Haskell.
I’ve spent some time looking at the docs for `dup2` and the code in
`base` and afaict the following race condition is being triggered
here:
1. The user calls `hDuplicateTo stderr stdout`.
2. `hDuplicateTo` calls `hClose_help stdout_`, this closes the file
handle for stdout.
3. The file handle for stdout is now free, so another thread
allocating a file might get stdout.
4. If `dup2` is called while `stdout` (now pointing to something
else) is half-open, it returns EBUSY.
I think there might actually be an even worse case where `dup2` is run
after FD 1 is fully open again. In that case, you will end up not just
redirecting the original stdout to stderr but also the whatever
resulted in that file handle being allocated.
As far as I can tell, `dup2` takes care of closing the file handle
itself so there is no reason to do this in `hDuplicateTo`. So this PR
replaces the call to `hClose_help` by the only part of `hClose_help`
that we actually care about, namely, `flushWriteBuffer`.
I tested this on our codebase fairly extensively and haven’t been able
to reproduce the issue with this patch.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">lookupBindGroupOcc: recommend names in the same namespace (#17593)
Previously, `lookupBindGroupOcc`'s error message would recommend all
similar names in scope, regardless of whether they were type
constructors, data constructors, or functions, leading to the
confusion witnessed in #17593. This is easily fixed by only
recommending names in the same namespace, using the
`nameSpacesRelated` function.
Fixes #17593.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Overloaded Quotation Brackets (#246)
This patch implements overloaded quotation brackets which generalise the
desugaring of all quotation forms in terms of a new minimal interface.
The main change is that a quotation, for example, [e| 5 |], will now
have type `Quote m => m Exp` rather than `Q Exp`. The `Quote` typeclass
contains a single method for generating new names which is used when
desugaring binding structures.
The return type of functions from the `Lift` type class, `lift` and `liftTyped` have
been restricted to `forall m . Quote m => m Exp` rather than returning a
result in a Q monad.
More details about the feature can be read in the GHC proposal.

Before, it was a panic because it was handled above. But there must have
been an error in my reasoning (another caller?) because #17442 reported
the panic was hit.
But, rather than figuring out what happened, I can just make it
impossible by construction. By adding just a bit more bureaucracy in the
return types, I can handle TagToEnum in the same case as all the others,
so the big case is is now total, and the panic is removed.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix chaining tagged and untagged ptrs in compacting GC
Currently compacting GC has the invariant that in a chain all fields are tagged
the same. However this does not really hold: root pointers are not tagged, so
when we thread a root we initialize a chain without a tag. When the pointed
objects is evaluated and we have more pointers to it from the heap, we then add
*tagged* fields to the chain (because pointers to it from the heap are tagged),
ending up chaining fields with different tags (pointers from roots are NOT
tagged, pointers from heap are). This breaks the invariant and as a result
compacting GC turns tagged pointers into non-tagged.
This later causes problem in the generated code where we do reads assuming that
the pointer is aligned, e.g.
0x7(%rax) -- assumes that pointer is tagged 1
which causes misaligned reads. This caused #17088.
We fix this using the "pointer tagging for large families" patch (#14373,
!1742):
- With the pointer tagging patch the GC can know what the tagged pointer to a
CONSTR should be (previously we'd need to know the family size -- large
families are always tagged 1, small families are tagged depending on the
constructor).
- Since we now know what the tags should be we no longer need to store the
pointer tag in the info table pointers when forming chains in the compacting
GC.
As a result we no longer need to tag pointers in chains with 1/2 depending on
whether the field points to an info table pointer, or to another field: an info
table pointer is always tagged 0, everything else in the chain is tagged 1. The
lost tags in pointers can be retrieved by looking at the info table.
Finally, instead of using tag 1 for fields and tag 0 for info table pointers, we
use two different tags for fields:
- 1 for fields that have untagged pointers
- 2 for fields that have tagged pointers
When unchaining we then look at the pointer to a field, and depending on its tag
we either leave a tagged pointer or an untagged pointer in the field.
This allows chaining untagged and tagged fields together in compacting GC.
Fixes #17088

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Formulate as translation between Clause Trees
We used to check `GrdVec`s arising from multiple clauses and guards in
isolation. That resulted in a split between `pmCheck` and
`pmCheckGuards`, the implementations of which were similar, but subtly
different in detail. Also the throttling mechanism described in
`Note [Countering exponential blowup]` ultimately got quite complicated
because it had to cater for both checking functions.
This patch realises that pattern match checking doesn't just consider
single guarded RHSs, but that it's always a whole set of clauses, each
of which can have multiple guarded RHSs in turn. We do so by
translating a list of `Match`es to a `GrdTree`:
```haskell
data GrdTree
= Rhs !RhsInfo
| Guard !PmGrd !GrdTree -- captures lef-to-right match semantics
| Sequence !GrdTree !GrdTree -- captures top-to-bottom match semantics
| Empty -- For -XEmptyCase, neutral element of Sequence
```
Then we have a function `checkGrdTree` that matches a given `GrdTree`
against an incoming set of values, represented by `Deltas`:
```haskell
checkGrdTree :: GrdTree -> Deltas -> CheckResult
...
```
Throttling is isolated to the `Sequence` case and becomes as easy as one
would expect: When the union of uncovered values becomes too big, just
return the original incoming `Deltas` instead (which is always a
superset of the union, thus a sound approximation).
The returned `CheckResult` contains two things:
1. The set of values that were not covered by any of the clauses, for
exhaustivity warnings.
2. The `AnnotatedTree` that enriches the syntactic structure of the
input program with divergence and inaccessibility information.
This is `AnnotatedTree`:
```haskell
data AnnotatedTree
= AccessibleRhs !RhsInfo
| InaccessibleRhs !RhsInfo
| MayDiverge !AnnotatedTree
| SequenceAnn !AnnotatedTree !AnnotatedTree
| EmptyAnn
```
Crucially, `MayDiverge` asserts that the tree may force diverging
values, so not all of its wrapped clauses can be redundant.
While the set of uncovered values can be used to generate the missing
equations for warning messages, redundant and proper inaccessible
equations can be extracted from `AnnotatedTree` by
`redundantAndInaccessibleRhss`.
For this to work properly, the interface to the Oracle had to change.
There's only `addPmCts` now, which takes a bag of `PmCt`s. There's a
whole bunch of `PmCt` variants to replace the different oracle functions
from before.
The new `AnnotatedTree` structure allows for more accurate warning
reporting (as evidenced by a number of changes spread throughout GHC's
code base), thus we fix #17465.
Fixes #17646 on the go.

data constructors have to be the same way as value binders.
Sadly I couldn't think of a regression test, but I'm confident that this
change strictly improves on the status quo.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Handle local fixity declarations in DsMeta properly
`DsMeta.rep_sig` used to skip over `FixSig` entirely, which had the
effect of causing local fixity declarations to be dropped when quoted
in Template Haskell. But there is no good reason for this state of
affairs, as the code in `DsMeta.repFixD` (which handles top-level
fixity declarations) handles local fixity declarations just fine.
This patch factors out the necessary parts of `repFixD` so that they
can be used in `rep_sig` as well.
There was one minor complication: the fixity signatures for class
methods in each `HsGroup` were stored both in `FixSig`s _and_ the
list of `LFixitySig`s for top-level fixity signatures, so I needed
to take action to prevent fixity signatures for class methods being
converted to `Dec`s twice. I tweaked `RnSource.add` to avoid putting
these fixity signatures in two places and added
`Note [Top-level fixity signatures in an HsGroup]` in `GHC.Hs.Decls`
to explain the new design.
Fixes #17608. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Do not bring visible foralls into scope in hsScopedTvs
Previously, `hsScopedTvs` (and its cousin `hsWcScopedTvs`) pretended
that visible dependent quantification could not possibly happen at
the term level, and cemented that assumption with an `ASSERT`:
```hs
hsScopedTvs (HsForAllTy { hst_fvf = vis_flag, ... }) =
ASSERT( vis_flag == ForallInvis )
...
```
It turns out that this assumption is wrong. You can end up tripping
this `ASSERT` if you stick it to the man and write a type for a term
that uses visible dependent quantification anyway, like in this
example:
```hs
{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
x :: forall a -> a -> a
x = x
```
That won't typecheck, but that's not the point. Before the
typechecker has a chance to reject this, the renamer will try
to use `hsScopedTvs` to bring `a` into scope over the body of `x`,
since `a` is quantified by a `forall`. This, in turn, causes the
`ASSERT` to fail. Bummer.
Instead of walking on this dangerous ground, this patch makes GHC
adopt a more hardline stance by pattern-matching directly on
`ForallInvis` in `hsScopedTvs`:
```hs
hsScopedTvs (HsForAllTy { hst_fvf = ForallInvis, ... }) = ...
```
Now `a` will not be brought over the body of `x` at all (which is how
it should be), there's no chance of the `ASSERT` failing anymore (as
it's gone), and best of all, the behavior of `hsScopedTvs` does not
change. Everyone wins!

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use splitLHs{ForAll,Sigma}TyInvis throughout the codebase
Richard points out in #17688 that we use `splitLHsForAllTy` and
`splitLHsSigmaTy` in places that we ought to be using the
corresponding `-Invis` variants instead, identifying two bugs
that are caused by this oversight:
* Certain TH-quoted type signatures, such as those that appear in
quoted `SPECIALISE` pragmas, silently turn visible `forall`s into
invisible `forall`s.
* When quoted, the type `forall a -> (a ~ a) => a` will turn into
`forall a -> a` due to a bug in `DsMeta.repForall` that drops
contexts that follow visible `forall`s.
These are both ultimately caused by the fact that `splitLHsForAllTy`
and `splitLHsSigmaTy` split apart visible `forall`s in addition to
invisible ones. This patch cleans things up:
* We now use `splitLHsForAllTyInvis` and `splitLHsSigmaTyInvis`
throughout the codebase. Relatedly, the `splitLHsForAllTy` and
`splitLHsSigmaTy` have been removed, as they are easy to misuse.
* `DsMeta.repForall` now only handles invisible `forall`s to reduce
the chance for confusion with visible `forall`s, which need to be
handled differently. I also renamed it from `repForall` to
`repForallT` to emphasize that its distinguishing characteristic
is the fact that it desugars down to `L.H.TH.Syntax.ForallT`.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor package related code
The package terminology is a bit of a mess. Cabal packages contain
components. Instances of these components when built with some
flags/options/dependencies are called units. Units are registered into
package databases and their metadata are called PackageConfig.
GHC only knows about package databases containing units. It is a sad
mismatch not fixed by this patch (we would have to rename parameters
such as `package-id <unit-id>` which would affect users).
This patch however fixes the following internal names:
- Renames PackageConfig into UnitInfo.
- Rename systemPackageConfig into globalPackageDatabase[Path]
- Rename PkgConfXX into PkgDbXX
- Rename pkgIdMap into unitIdMap
- Rename ModuleToPkgDbAll into ModuleNameProvidersMap
- Rename lookupPackage into lookupUnit
- Add comments on DynFlags package related fields
It also introduces a new `PackageDatabase` datatype instead of
explicitly passing the following tuple: `(FilePath,[PackageConfig])`.
The `pkgDatabase` field in `DynFlags` now contains the unit info for
each unit of each package database exactly as they have been read from
disk. Previously the command-line flag `-distrust-all-packages` would
modify these unit info. Now this flag only affects the "dynamic"
consolidated package state found in `pkgState` field. It makes sense
because `initPackages` could be called first with this
`distrust-all-packages` flag set and then again (using ghc-api) without
and it should work (package databases are not read again from disk when
`initPackages` is called the second time).

static_link fields after SRT analysis.
This also fixes `-fcatch-bottoms`, which introduces error calls in case
expressions in CorePrep, which runs *after* CoreTidy (which is where we
decide on CafInfos) and turns previously non-CAFFY things into CAFFY.

Manual inspection of programs in testsuite/tests/programs
---------------------------------------------------------
I built these programs with a bunch of dump flags and `-O` and compared
STG, Cmm, and Asm dumps and file sizes.
(Below the numbers in parenthesis show number of modules in the program)
These programs have identical compiler (same .hi and .o sizes, STG, and
Cmm and Asm dumps):
- Queens (1), andre_monad (1), cholewo-eval (2), cvh_unboxing (3),
andy_cherry (7), fun_insts (1), hs-boot (4), fast2haskell (2),
jl_defaults (1), jq_readsPrec (1), jules_xref (1), jtod_circint (4),
jules_xref2 (1), lennart_range (1), lex (1), life_space_leak (1),
bargon-mangler-bug (7), record_upd (1), rittri (1), sanders_array (1),
strict_anns (1), thurston-module-arith (2), okeefe_neural (1),
joao-circular (6), 10queens (1)
Programs with different compiler outputs:
- jl_defaults (1): For some reason GHC HEAD marks a lot of top-level
`[Int]` closures as CAFFY for no reason. With this patch we no longer
make them CAFFY and generate less SRT entries. For some reason Main.o
is slightly larger with this patch (1.3%) and the executable sizes are
the same. (I'd expect both to be smaller)
- launchbury (1): Same as jl_defaults: top-level `[Int]` closures marked
as CAFFY for no reason. Similarly `Main.o` is 1.4% larger but the
executable sizes are the same.
- galois_raytrace (13): Differences are in the Parse module. There are a
lot, but some of the changes are caused by the fact that for some
reason (I think a bug) GHC HEAD marks the dictionary for `Functor
Identity` as CAFFY. Parse.o is 0.4% larger, the executable size is the
same.
- north_array: We now generate less SRT entries because some of array
primops used in this program like `NewArrayOp` get eliminated during
Stg-to-Cmm and turn some CAFFY things into non-CAFFY. Main.o gets 24%
larger (9224 bytes from 9000 bytes), executable sizes are the same.
- seward-space-leak: Difference in this program is better shown by this
smaller example:
module Lib where
data CDS
= Case [CDS] [(Int, CDS)]
| Call CDS CDS
instance Eq CDS where
Case sels1 rets1 == Case sels2 rets2 =
sels1 == sels2 && rets1 == rets2
Call a1 b1 == Call a2 b2 =
a1 == a2 && b1 == b2
_ == _ =
False
In this program GHC HEAD builds a new SRT for the recursive group of
`(==)`, `(/=)` and the dictionary closure. Then `/=` points to `==`
in its SRT field, and `==` uses the SRT object as its SRT. With this
patch we use the closure for `/=` as the SRT and add `==` there. Then
`/=` gets an empty SRT field and `==` points to `/=` in its SRT
field.
This change looks fine to me.
Main.o gets 0.07% larger, executable sizes are identical.
head.hackage
------------
head.hackage's CI script builds 428 packages from Hackage using this
patch with no failures.
Compiler performance
--------------------
The compiler perf tests report that the compiler allocates slightly more
(worst case observed so far is 4%). However most programs in the test
suite are small, single file programs. To benchmark compiler performance
on something more realistic I build Cabal (the library, 236 modules)
with different optimisation levels. For the "max residency" row I run
GHC with `+RTS -s -A100k -i0 -h` for more accurate numbers. Other rows
are generated with just `-s`. (This is because `-i0` causes running GC
much more frequently and as a result "bytes copied" gets inflated by
more than 25x in some cases)

Extra compiler allocations
--------------------------
Runtime allocations of programs are as reported above (NoFib section).
The compiler now allocates more than before. Main source of allocation
in this patch compared to base commit is the new SRT algorithm
(GHC.Cmm.Info.Build). Below is some of the extra work we do with this
patch, numbers generated by profiled stage 2 compiler when building a
pathological case (the test 'ManyConstructors') with '-O2':
- We now sort the final STG for a module, which means traversing the
entire program, generating free variable set for each top-level
binding, doing SCC analysis, and re-ordering the program. In
ManyConstructors this step allocates 97,889,952 bytes.
- We now do SRT analysis on static data, which in a program like
ManyConstructors causes analysing 10,000 bindings that we would
previously just skip. This step allocates 70,898,352 bytes.
- We now maintain an SRT map for the entire module as we compile Cmm
groups:
data ModuleSRTInfo = ModuleSRTInfo
{ ...
, moduleSRTMap :: SRTMap
}
(SRTMap is just a strict Map from the 'containers' library)
This map gets an entry for most bindings in a module (exceptions are
THUNKs and CAFFY static functions). For ManyConstructors this map
gets 50015 entries.
- Once we're done with code generation we generate a NameSet from SRTMap
for the non-CAFFY names in the current module. This set gets the same
number of entries as the SRTMap.
- Finally we update CafInfos in ModDetails for the non-CAFFY Ids, using
the NameSet generated in the previous step. This usually does the
least amount of allocation among the work listed here.
Only place with this patch where we do less work in the CAF analysis in
the tidying pass (CoreTidy). However that doesn't save us much, as the
pass still needs to traverse the whole program and update IdInfos for
other reasons. Only thing we don't here do is the `hasCafRefs` pass over
the RHS of bindings, which is a stateless pass that returns a boolean
value, so it doesn't allocate much.
(Metric changes blow are all increased allocations)

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix scoping of TyCon binders in TcTyClsDecls
This patch fixes #17566 by refactoring the way we decide the final
identity of the tyvars in the TyCons of a possibly-recursive nest
of type and class decls, possibly with associated types.
It's all laid out in
Note [Swizzling the tyvars before generaliseTcTyCon]
Main changes:
* We have to generalise each decl (with its associated types)
all at once: TcTyClsDecls.generaliseTyClDecl
* The main new work is done in TcTyClsDecls.swizzleTcTyConBndrs
* The mysterious TcHsSyn.zonkRecTyVarBndrs dies altogether
Other smaller things:
* A little refactoring, moving bindTyClTyVars from tcTyClDecl1
to tcDataDefn, tcSynRhs, etc. Clearer, reduces the number of
parameters
* Reduce the amount of swizzling required.
Specifically, bindExplicitTKBndrs_Q_Tv doesn't need
to clone a new Name for the TyVarTv, and not
cloning means that in the vasly common case,
swizzleTyConBndrs is a no-op
In detail:
Rename newTyVarTyVar --> cloneTyVarTyVar
Add newTyVarTyTyVar that doesn't clone
Use the non-cloning newTyVarTyVar in
bindExplicitTKBndrs_Q_Tv
Rename newFlexiKindedTyVarTyVar
--> cloneFlexiKindedTyVarTyVar
* Define new utility function and use it
HsDecls.familyDeclName ::
FamilyDecl (GhcPass p) -> IdP (GhcPass p)
Updates haddock submodule.

Old documentation suggests that -fcatch-bottoms only adds a default

very simplistic "is exhaustive" check and add default alternatives to
any case expression that does not cover all constructors of the type. In
case of GADTs this simple check assumes all constructors should be
covered, even the ones ruled out by the type of the scrutinee.
Update the documentation to reflect this.

f _ | let x = Ex @Int 15 = case x of Ex -> ...
```
are in fact useful.
This commit makes a number of refactorings and improvements to comments,
but fundamentally changes `addCoreCt.core_expr` to record the type
constraint `a ~ Int` in addition to `x ~ Ex @a y` and `y ~ 15`.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Reform the free variable finders for types
This patch delivers on (much of) #17509.
* Introduces the shallow vs deep free variable distinction
* Introduce TyCoRep.foldType,
foldType :: Monoid a => TyCoFolder env a
-> env -> Type -> a
and use it in the free variable finders.
* Substitution in TyCoSubst
* ASSERTs are on for checkValidSubst
* checkValidSubst uses shallowTyCoVarsOfTypes etc
Quite a few things still to do
* We could use foldType in lots of other places
* We could use mapType for substitution. (Check that we get
good code!)
* Some (but not yet all) clients of substitution can now
save time by using shallowTyCoVarsOfTypes
* All calls to tyCoVarsOfTypes should be inspected; most of
them should be shallow. Maybe.
* Currently shallowTyCoVarsOfTypes still returns
unification variables, but not CoVarHoles.
Reason: we need to return unification variables
in some of the calls in TcSimplify, eg when promoting.
* We should do the same thing for tyCoFVsOfTypes, which is

```
main = do

```
The above program previously attributed the cost of computing 324 to a cost
centre named `(...)`, with this change the cost is attributed to `a` instead.
This change only affects simple pattern bindings (decorated variables: type
signatures, parens, ~ annotations and ! annotations).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Introduce IsPass; refactor wrappers.
There are two main payloads of this patch:
1. This introduces IsPass, which allows e.g. printing
code to ask what pass it is running in (Renamed vs
Typechecked) and thus print extension fields. See
Note [IsPass] in Hs.Extension
2. This moves the HsWrap constructor into an extension
field, where it rightly belongs. This is done for
HsExpr and HsCmd, but not for HsPat, which is left
as an exercise for the reader.
There is also some refactoring around SyntaxExprs, but this
is really just incidental.
This patch subsumes !1721 (sorry @chreekat).
Along the way, there is a bit of refactoring in GHC.Hs.Extension,
including the removal of NameOrRdrName in favor of NoGhcTc.
This meant that we had no real need for GHC.Hs.PlaceHolder, so
I got rid of it.

This warning, which is included in `-Wcompat` is intended to help users
identify imports of modules that will change incompatibly in future GHC
releases. This currently only includes `Data.List` due to the expected
specialisation and addition of `Data.List.singleton`.

unpackCString# is a recursive function which for each iteration
returns a Cons cell containing the current Char, and a thunk for
unpacking the rest of the string.
In this patch we change from storing addr + offset inside this thunk
to storing only the addr, simply incrementing the address on each
iteration.
This saves one word of allocation per unpacked character.
For a program like "main = print "<largishString>" this amounts
to 2-3% fewer % in bytes allocated.
I also removed the now redundant local unpack definitions.
This removes one call per unpack operation.

This adopts a patch from NetBSD's packaging fixing the `GhcThreaded`
option of the make build system. In addition we introduce a `ghcThreaded`
option in hadrian's `Flavour` type.
Also fix Hadrian's treatment of the `Use Threaded` entry in `settings`.
Previously it would incorrectly claim `Use Threaded = True` if we were
building the `threaded` runtime way. However, this is inconsistent with
the `make` build system, which defines it to be whether the `ghc`
executable is linked against the threaded runtime.
Fixes #17692.

This commit implements a few Windows-specific fixes which get us from a CI
job that can't even get as far as starting the testsuite driver, to a state
where we can run the entire testssuite (but have test failures to fix).
- Don't forget about a potential extension for the haddock program, when
preparing the bindist.
- Build the timeout program, used by the testsuite driver on Windows in place
of the Python script used elsewhere, using the boot compiler. We could
alternatively build it with the compiler that we're going to test but this
would be a lot more tedious to write.
- Implement a wrapper-script less installation procedure for Windows, in
`hadrian/bindist/Makefile.
- Make dependencies a bit more accurate in the aforementioned Makefile.
- Update Windows/Hadrian CI job accordingly.
This patch fixes #17486.

- Make `TcErrors.getSkolemInfo` return a `SkolemInfo` rather than an `Implication`.
- If `getSkolemInfo` gets `RuntimeUnk`s, just return a new data constructor in `SkolemInfo`, called `RuntimeUnkSkol`.
- In `TcErrors.pprSkols` print something sensible for a `RuntimeUnkSkol`.
The `getSkolemInfo` function paniced while formating suggestions to add type annotations (subfunction `suggestAddSig`)
to a *"Couldn't match type ‘x’ with ‘y’"* error message.
The `getSkolemInfo` function didn't find any Implication value and paniced.
With this patch the `getSkolemInfo` function does no longer panic, if it finds `RuntimeUnkSkol`s.
As the panic occured while processing an error message, we don't need to implement any new error message!

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix long distance info for record updates
For record updates where the `record_expr` is a variable, as in #17783:
```hs
data PartialRec = No
| Yes { a :: Int, b :: Bool }
update No = No
update r@(Yes {}) = r { b = False }
```
We should make use of long distance info in
`-Wincomplete-record-updates` checking. But the call to `matchWrapper`
in the `RecUpd` case didn't specify a scrutinee expression, which would
correspond to the `record_expr` `r` here. That is fixed now.
Fixes #17783.

the GC to kill threads which ran out of heap, failed to guarantee this.

The reasons for that can be found in the wiki:
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/nested-cpr/split-off-cpr
We now run CPR after demand analysis (except for after the final demand
analysis run just before code gen). CPR got its own dump flags
(`-ddump-cpr-anal`, `-ddump-cpr-signatures`), but not its own flag to
activate/deactivate. It will run with `-fstrictness`/`-fworker-wrapper`.
As explained on the wiki page, this step is necessary for a sane Nested
CPR analysis. And it has quite positive impact on compiler performance:

This exposes a Data.Version.Version representing the version of the

have seen in tickets regarding with which Unicode versions a given GHC

While in town I also regenerated (but did not update) the Unicode
database with database 12.0.0. Strangely, the file cited in the README
no longer existed. Consequently, I used
https://www.unicode.org/Public/12.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt and was

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">gitlab-ci: Consolidate CI logic
This moves nearly all of the CI logic to .gitlab/ci.sh. This improves
things in a number of ways:
* it's harder for inconsistencies to arise between architectures
* it's easier to share logic between architectures
* on Windows, it's easier to ensure that all CI steps are executed from
within a properly initialized mingw session.
While in town I also add a FreeBSD build job and update the Windows job
to use the gitlab-runner PowerShell executor, since cmd.exe will be
deprecated soon (fixing #17699).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">base: Always clamp reads/writes to 2GB in length
Previously we did this only on Darwin due to #17414. However, even on
other platforms >2GB writes are on shaky ground. POSIX explicitly says
that the result is implementation-specified and Linux will write at most
0x7ffff000, even on 64-bit platforms. Moreover, getting the sign
of the syscall result correct is tricky, as demonstrated by the fact
that T17414 currently fails on FreeBSD.
For simplicity we now just uniformly clamp to 0x7ffff000 on all
platforms.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">SysTools: Use "process job" when spawning processes on Windows
GHC should make calls using process jobs when calling out to GCC and LD.
The reason is these use the exec () family of posix functions. Window's
process model doesn't allow replacement of processes so this is emulated
by creating a new process and immediately exiting the old one. Because
of this when using normal Windows wait functions you would return even
without the child process having finished. In this case if you are
depending on data from the child you will enter a race condition.
The usual fix for this is to use process jobs and wait for the
termination of all children that have ever been spawn by the process you
called. But also waiting for the freeing of all resources.

* Hadrian doesn't use integer-gmp/config.mk file anymore to determine if
building GMP in-tree is required.
"config.mk" is created by Cabal when the integer-gmp package is
configured and this file is still untracked by Hadrian. This led to a
tricky configure "race" because "config.mk" is built by the
"setup-config" rule, but this rule is also used to find dependencies,
in particular the "ghc-gmp.h" header, but the creation of this file
was depending (without being tracked) on "config.mk".
Now Hadrian only builds in-tree GMP if `--with-intree-gmp` is passed
to the top-level configure script.
* in-tree GMP isn't built once for all in a fixed stage (Stage1)
anymore. It is built per stage which is required if we build a
cross-compiler
* switching between in-tree and external GMP is now supported without
having to clean the build directory first.
* "wrappers.c" now includes "ghc-gmp.h" instead of "ghc.h". It
helps ensuring that the build system generates "ghc-gmp.h".
* build in-tree GMP in "<root>/stageN/gmp/gmpbuild" and produce useful
artefacts (libgmp.a, gmp.h, objs/*.o) in "<root>/stageN/gmp"

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove the MonadFail P instance
There were two issues with this instance:
* its existence meant that a pattern match failure in the P monad would
produce a user-visible parse error, but the error message would not be
helpful to the user
* due to the MFP migration strategy, we had to use CPP in Lexer.x,
and that created issues for #17750
Updates haddock submodule.

(Commit message written by Omer, most of the code is written by Simon
and Richard)
See Note [Implementing unsafeCoerce] for how unsafe equality proofs and
the new unsafeCoerce# are implemented.
New notes added:
- [Checking for levity polymorphism] in CoreLint.hs
- [Implementing unsafeCoerce] in base/Unsafe/Coerce.hs
- [Patching magic definitions] in Desugar.hs
- [Wiring in unsafeCoerce#] in Desugar.hs
Only breaking change in this patch is unsafeCoerce# is not exported from
GHC.Exts, instead of GHC.Prim.
Fixes #17443
Fixes #16893

Test changes
------------
- break006 is marked as broken, see #17833
- The compiler allocates less when building T14683 (an unsafeCoerce#-
heavy happy-generated code) on 64-platforms. Allocates more on 32-bit
platforms.
- Rest of the increases are tiny amounts (still enough to pass the
threshold) in micro-benchmarks. I briefly looked at each one in a
profiling build: most of the increased allocations seem to be because
of random changes in the generated code.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Parser API annotations: RealSrcLoc
During parsing, GHC collects lexical information about AST nodes and
stores it in a map. It is needed to faithfully restore original source
code, e.g. compare these expressions:
a = b
a = b
The position of the equality sign is not recorded in the AST, so it must
be stored elsewhere.
This system is described in Note [Api annotations].
Before this patch, the mapping was represented by:
Map (SrcSpan, AnnKeywordId) SrcSpan
After this patch, the mapping is represented by:
Map (RealSrcSpan, AnnKeywordId) RealSrcSpan
The motivation behind this change is to avoid using the Ord SrcSpan
instance (required by Map here), as it interferes with #17632 (see the
discussion there).
SrcSpan is isomorphic to Either String RealSrcSpan, but we shouldn't
use those strings as Map keys. Those strings are intended as hints to
the user, e.g. "<interactive>" or "<compiler-generated code>", so they
are not a valid way to identify nodes in the source code.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove Ord SrcLoc, Ord SrcSpan
Before this patch, GHC relied on Ord SrcSpan to identify source elements, by
using SrcSpan as Map keys:
blackList :: Map SrcSpan () -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Coverage.hs
instanceMap :: Map SrcSpan Name -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Docs.hs
Firstly, this design is not valid in presence of UnhelpfulSpan, as it
distinguishes between UnhelpfulSpan "X" and UnhelpfulSpan "Y", but those
strings are messages for the user, unfit to serve as identifiers for source
elements.
Secondly, this design made it hard to extend SrcSpan with additional data.
Recall that the definition of SrcSpan is:
data SrcSpan =
RealSrcSpan !RealSrcSpan
| UnhelpfulSpan !FastString
Say we want to extend the RealSrcSpan constructor with additional information:
data SrcSpan =
RealSrcSpan !RealSrcSpan !AdditionalInformation
| UnhelpfulSpan !FastString
getAdditionalInformation :: SrcSpan -> AdditionalInformation
getAdditionalInformation (RealSrcSpan _ a) = a
Now, in order for Map SrcSpan to keep working correctly, we must *ignore* additional
information when comparing SrcSpan values:
instance Ord SrcSpan where
compare (RealSrcSpan r1 _) (RealSrcSpan r2 _) = compare r1 r2
...
However, this would violate an important law:
a == b therefore f a == f b
Ignoring AdditionalInformation in comparisons would mean that with
f=getAdditionalInformation, the law above does not hold.
A more robust design is to avoid Ord SrcSpan altogether, which is what this patch implements.
The mappings are changed to use RealSrcSpan instead:
blackList :: Set RealSrcSpan -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Coverage.hs
instanceMap :: Map RealSrcSpan Name -- compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Docs.hs
All SrcSpan comparisons are now done with explicit comparison strategies:
SrcLoc.leftmost_smallest
SrcLoc.leftmost_largest
SrcLoc.rightmost_smallest
These strategies are not subject to the law mentioned above and can easily
discard both the string stored in UnhelpfulSpan and AdditionalInformation.
Updates haddock submodule.

Consider
```hs
data T = A | B | C
f :: T -> Int
f A = 1
f x = case x of
A -> 2
B -> 3
C -> 4
```
Clearly, the RHS returning 2 is redundant. But we don't currently see
that, because our approximation to the covered set of the inner case
expression just picks up the positive information from surrounding
pattern matches. It lacks the context sensivity that `x` can't be `A`
anymore!
Therefore, we adopt the conceptually and practically superior approach
of reusing the covered set of a particular GRHS from an outer pattern
match. In this case, we begin checking the `case` expression with the
covered set of `f`s second clause, which encodes the information that
`x` can't be `A` anymore. After this MR, we will successfully warn about
the RHS returning 2 being redundant.
Perhaps surprisingly, this was a great simplification to the code of
both the coverage checker and the desugarer.
Found a redundant case alternative in `unix` submodule, so we have to
bump it with a fix.

When GHC is parsing a file generated by a tool, e.g. by the C preprocessor, the
tool may insert #line pragmas to adjust the locations reported to the user.
As the result, the locations recorded in RealSrcLoc are not monotonic. Elements
that appear later in the StringBuffer are not guaranteed to have a higher
line/column number.
In fact, there are no guarantees whatsoever, as #line pragmas can arbitrarily
modify locations. This lack of guarantees makes ideas such as #17544
infeasible.
This patch adds an additional bit of information to every SrcLoc:
newtype BufPos = BufPos { bufPos :: Int }
A BufPos represents the location in the StringBuffer, unaffected by any
pragmas.

In #14335 we want to be able to use both the internal interpreter (for
the plugins) and the external interpreter (for TH and GHCi) at the same
time.
This patch performs some preliminary refactoring: the `hsc_interp` field
of HscEnv replaces `hsc_iserv` and is now used to indicate which
interpreter (internal, external) to use to execute TH and GHCi.
Opt_ExternalInterpreter flag and iserv options in DynFlags are now
queried only when we set the session DynFlags. It should help making GHC
multi-target in the future by selecting an interpreter according to the
selected target.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Simplify IfaceIdInfo type
IfaceIdInfo type is confusing: there's practically no difference between
`NoInfo` and `HasInfo []`. The comments say NoInfo is used when
-fomit-interface-pragmas is enabled, but we don't need to distinguish
`NoInfo` from `HasInfo []` in when reading the interface so the
distinction is not important.
This patch simplifies the type by removing NoInfo. When we have no info
we use an empty list.
With this change we no longer read the info list lazily when reading an
IfaceInfoItem, but when reading an IfaceId the ifIdInfo field is
read lazily, so I doubt this is going to be a problem.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Show breakpoint locations of breakpoints which were ignored during :force (#2950)
GHCi is split up into 2 major parts: The user-interface (UI)
and the byte-code interpreter. With `-fexternal-interpreter`
they even run in different processes. Communication between
the UI and the Interpreter (called `iserv`) is done using
messages over a pipe. This is called `Remote GHCI` and
explained in the Note [Remote GHCi] in `compiler/ghci/GHCi.hs`.
To process a `:force` command the UI sends a `Seq` message
to the `iserv` process. Then `iserv` does the effective
evaluation of the value. When during this process a breakpoint
is hit, the `iserv` process has no additional information to
enhance the `Ignoring breakpoint` output with the breakpoint
location.
To be able to print additional breakpoint information,
there are 2 possible implementation choices:
1. Store the needed information in the `iserv` process.
2. Print the `Ignoring breakpoint` from the UI process.
For option 1 we need to store the breakpoint info redundantely
in 2 places and this is bad. Therfore option 2 was implemented
in this MR:
- The user enters a `force` command
- The UI sends a `Seq` message to the `iserv` process.
- If processing of the `Seq` message hits a breakpoint,
the `iserv` process returns control to the UI process.
- The UI looks up the source location of the breakpoint,
and prints the enhanced `Ignoring breakpoint` output.
- The UI sends a `ResumeSeq` message to the `iserv` process,
to continue forcing.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Set `ImpredicativeTypes` during :print command. (#14828)
If ImpredicativeTypes is not enabled, then `:print <term>` will fail if the
type of <term> has nested `forall`s or `=>`s.
This is because the GHCi debugger's internals will attempt to unify a
metavariable with the type of <term> and then display the result, but if the
type has nested `forall`s or `=>`s, then unification will fail.
As a result, `:print` will bail out and the unhelpful result will be
`<term> = (_t1::t1)` (where `t1` is a metavariable).
Beware: <term> can have nested `forall`s even if its definition doesn't use
RankNTypes! Here is an example from #14828:
class Functor f where
fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
Somewhat surprisingly, `:print fmap` considers the type of fmap to have
nested foralls. This is because the GHCi debugger sees the type
`fmap :: forall f. Functor f => forall a b. (a -> b) -> f a -> f b`.
We could envision deeply instantiating this type to get the type
`forall f a b. Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b`,
but this trick wouldn't work for higher-rank types.
Instead, we adopt a simpler fix: enable `ImpredicativeTypes` when using
`:print` and friends in the GHCi debugger. This is allows metavariables
to unify with types that have nested (or higher-rank) `forall`s/`=>`s,
which makes `:print fmap` display as
`fmap = (_t1::forall a b. Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b)`, as expected.
Although ImpredicativeTypes is a somewhat unpredictable from a type inference
perspective, there is no danger in using it in the GHCi debugger, since all
of the terms that the GHCi debugger deals with have already been typechecked.

When developing a plugin I had a shadowing problem, where I generated
code
app = \f{v r7B} x{v r7B} -> f{v r7B} x{v r7B}
This is obviously wrong, since the occurrence of `f` to the right of the
arrow refers to the `x` binder (they share a Unique). However, it is
rather confusing when Lint reports
Mismatch in type between binder and occurrence
Var: x{v rB7}
since it is printing the binder, rather than the occurrence.
It is rather easy to read this as claiming there is something wrong with
the `x` occurrence!
We change the report to explicitly print both the binder and the
occurrence variables.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Re-quantify when generalising over rewrite rule types
Previously, `tcRules` would check for naughty quantification
candidates (see `Note [Naughty quantification candidates]` in
`TcMType`) when generalising over the type of a rewrite rule. This
caused sensible-looking rewrite rules (like those in #17710) to be
rejected. A more permissing (and easier-to-implement) approach is to
do what is described in `Note [Generalising in tcTyFamInstEqnGuts]`
in `TcTyClsDecls`: just re-quantify all the type variable binders,
regardless of the order in which the user specified them. After all,
the notion of type variable specificity has no real meaning in
rewrite rules, since one cannot "visibly apply" a rewrite rule.
I have written up this wisdom in
`Note [Re-quantify type variables in rules]` in `TcRules`.
As a result of this patch, compiling the `ExplicitForAllRules1` test
case now generates one fewer warning than it used to. As far as I can
tell, this is benign, since the thing that the disappearing warning
talked about was also mentioned in an entirely separate warning.
Fixes #17710.

In copying GC, with the relevant debug flags enabled, we release the old

In compacting GC we reuse the blocks and previously we didn't zero the
unused space in a compacting generation after compaction. With this
patch we zero the slop between the free pointer and the end of the block
when we're done with compaction and when switching to a new block

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make DeriveFunctor-generated code require fewer beta reductions
Issue #17880 demonstrates that `DeriveFunctor`-generated code is
surprisingly fragile when rank-_n_ types are involved. The culprit is
that `$fmap` (the algorithm used to generate `fmap` implementations)
was too keen on applying arguments with rank-_n_ types to lambdas,
which fail to typecheck more often than not.
In this patch, I change `$fmap` (both the specification and the
implementation) to produce code that avoids creating as many lambdas,
avoiding problems when rank-_n_ field types arise.
See the comments titled "Functor instances" in `TcGenFunctor` for a
more detailed description. Not only does this fix #17880, but it also
ensures that the code that `DeriveFunctor` generates will continue
to work after simplified subsumption is implemented (see #17775).
What is truly amazing is that #17880 is actually a regression
(introduced in GHC 7.6.3) caused by commit
49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e, the fix #7436. Prior to
that commit, the version of `$fmap` that was used was almost
identical to the one used in this patch! Why did that commit change
`$fmap` then? It was to avoid severe performance issues that would
arise for recursive `fmap` implementations, such as in the example
below:
```hs
data List a = Nil | Cons a (List a) deriving Functor
-- ===>
instance Functor List where
fmap f Nil = Nil
fmap f (Cons x xs) = Cons (f x) (fmap (\y -> f y) xs)
```
The fact that `\y -> f y` was eta expanded caused significant
performance overheads. Commit
49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e fixed this performance
issue, but it went too far. As a result, this patch partially
reverts 49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e.
To ensure that the performance issues pre-#7436 do not resurface,
I have taken some precautionary measures:
* I have added a special case to `$fmap` for situations where the
last type variable in an application of some type occurs directly.
If this special case fires, we avoid creating a lambda expression.
This ensures that we generate
`fmap f (Cons x xs) = Cons (f x) (fmap f xs)` in the derived
`Functor List` instance above. For more details, see
`Note [Avoid unnecessary eta expansion in derived fmap implementations]`
in `TcGenFunctor`.
* I have added a `T7436b` test case to ensure that the performance
of this derived `Functor List`-style code does not regress.
When implementing this, I discovered that `$replace`, the algorithm
which generates implementations of `(<$)`, has a special case that is
very similar to the `$fmap` special case described above. `$replace`
marked this special case with a custom `Replacer` data type, which
was a bit overkill. In order to use the same machinery for both
`Functor` methods, I ripped out `Replacer` and instead implemented
a simple way to detect the special case. See the updated commentary
in `Note [Deriving <$]` for more details.

* Do not print `join` in ApplictiveStmt, unless ppr-debug
* Print parens around multiple parallel binds
When ApplicativeDo is enabled, the renamer analyses the statements of a
`do` block and in certain cases marks them as needing to be rewritten
using `join`.
For example, if you have:
```
foo = do
a <- e1
b <- e2
doSomething a b
```
it will be desugared into:
```
foo = join (doSomething <$> e1 <*> e2)
```
After renaming but before desugaring the expression is stored
essentially as:
```
foo = do
[will need join] (a <- e1 | b <- e2)
[no return] doSomething a b
```
Before this change, the pretty printer would print a call to `join`,
even though it is not needed at this stage at all. The expression will be
actually rewritten into one using join only at desugaring, at which
point a literal call to join will be inserted.

The code in Rules.Register responsible for finding all the build artifacts
that Cabal installs when registering a library (static/shared libs, .hi files,
...) was looking in the wrong place. This patch fixes that logic and makes sure
we gather all those artifacts in a list to declare that the rule for a given
`.conf` file, our proxy for "Hadrian, please install this package in the package
db for this stage", also produces those artifacts under the said package
database.
We also were completely missing some logic to declare that the check-* programs
have dependencies besides their source code, at least when testing an in-tree
compiler.
Finally, this patch also removes redundant packages from 'testsuitePackages',
since they should already be covered by the stage<N>Packages lists from
Settings.Default.
With this patch, after a complete build and freezing stage 1, a change to
`compiler/parser/Parser.y` results in rebuilding the ghc lib, reinstalling it,
and rebuilding the few programs that depend on it, _including_ `check-ppr` and
`check-api-annotations` (therefore fixing #17273).

* Simplifies TcErrors.report_unsolved by *not*

This patch disentangles a bit more DynFlags from the native code
generator (CmmToAsm).
In more details:
- add a new NCGConfig datatype in GHC.CmmToAsm.Config which contains the
configuration of a native code generation session
- explicitly pass NCGConfig/Platform arguments when necessary
- as a consequence `sdocWithPlatform` is gone and there are only a few
`sdocWithDynFlags` left
- remove the use of `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` from GHC.CmmToAsm.CFG
- remove `sdocDebugLevel` (now we pass the debug level via NCGConfig)
There are still some places where DynFlags is used, especially because
of pretty-printing (CLabel), because of Cmm helpers (such as
`cmmExprType`) and because of `Outputable` instance for the
instructions. These are left for future refactoring as this patch is
already big.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix global_link of TSOs for threads reachable via dead weaks
Fixes #17785
Here's how the problem occurs:
- In generation 0 we have a TSO that is finished (i.e. it has no more
work to do or it is killed).
- The TSO only becomes reachable after collectDeadWeakPtrs().
- After collectDeadWeakPtrs() we switch to WeakDone phase where we don't
move TSOs to different lists anymore (like the next gen's thread list
or the resurrected_threads list).
- So the TSO will never be moved to a generation's thread list, but it
will be promoted to generation 1.
- Generation 1 collected via mark-compact, and because the TSO is
reachable it is marked, and its `global_link` field, which is bogus at
this point (because the TSO is not in a list), will be threaded.
- Chaos ensues.
In other words, when these conditions hold:
- A TSO is reachable only after collectDeadWeakPtrs()
- It's finished (what_next is ThreadComplete or ThreadKilled)
- It's retained by mark-compact collector (moving collector doesn't
evacuate the global_list field)
We end up doing random mutations on the heap because the TSO's
global_list field is not valid, but it still looks like a heap pointer
so we thread it during compacting GC.
The fix is simple: when we traverse old_threads lists to resurrect
unreachable threads the threads that won't be resurrected currently
stays on the old_threads lists. Those threads will never be visited
again by MarkWeak so we now reset the global_list fields. This way
compacting GC does not thread pointers to nowhere.
Testing
-------
The reproducer in #17785 is quite large and hard to build, because of
the dependencies, so I'm not adding a regression test.
In my testing the reproducer would take a less than 5 seconds to run,
and once in every ~5 runs would fail with a segfault or an assertion
error. In other cases it also fails with a test failure. Because the
tests never fail with the bug fix, assuming the code is correct, this
also means that this bug can sometimes lead to incorrect runtime
results.
After the fix I was able to run the reproducer repeatedly for about an
hour, with no runtime crashes or test failures.
To run the reproducer clone the git repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/osa1/streamly --branch ghc-segfault
Then clone primitive and atomic-primops from their git repos and point
to the clones in cabal.project.local. The project should then be
buildable using GHC HEAD. Run the executable `properties` with `+RTS -c
-DZ`.
In addition to the reproducer above I run the test suite using:
$ make slowtest EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-debug -with-rtsopts=-DS \
-with-rtsopts=-c +RTS -c -RTS" SKIPWAY='nonmoving nonmoving_thr'
This enables compacting GC always in both GHC when building the test
programs and when running the test programs, and also enables sanity
checking when running the test programs. These set of flags are not
compatible for all tests so there are some failures, but I got the same
set of failures with this patch compared to GHC HEAD.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Implement mapTyCo like foldTyCo
This patch makes mapType use the successful idiom described
in TyCoRep
Note [Specialising foldType]
I have not yet changed any functions to use mapType, though there
may be some suitable candidates.
This patch should be a no-op in terms of functionality but,
because it inlines the mapper itself, I'm hoping that there may
be some modest perf improvements.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't update ModDetails with CafInfos when opts are disabled
This is consistent with the interface file behavior where we omit
HsNoCafRefs annotations with -fomit-interface-pragmas (implied by -O0).
ModDetails and ModIface are just different representations of the same
thing, so they really need to be in sync. This patch does the right
thing and does not need too much explanation, but here's an example of a
problem not doing this causes in !2842:
-- MyInteger.hs
module MyInteger
( MyInteger (MyInteger)
, ToMyInteger (toMyInteger)
) where
newtype MyInteger = MyInteger Integer
class ToMyInteger a where
toMyInteger :: a -> MyInteger
instance ToMyInteger Integer where
toMyInteger = MyInteger {- . succ -}
-- Main.hs
module Main
( main
) where
import MyInteger (MyInteger (MyInteger), toMyInteger)
main :: IO ()
main = do
let (MyInteger i) = (id . toMyInteger) (41 :: Integer)
print i
If I build this with -O0, without this fix, we generate a ModDetails with
accurate LFInfo for toMyInteger (MyInteger.$fToMyIntegerInteger) which says that
it's a LFReEntrant with arity 1. This means in the use site (Main) we tag the
value:
R3 = MyInteger.$fToMyIntegerInteger_closure + 1;
R2 = GHC.Base.id_closure;
R1 = GHC.Base.._closure;
Sp = Sp - 16;
call stg_ap_ppp_fast(R4, R3, R2, R1) args: 24, res: 0, upd: 24;
Now we change the definition by uncommenting the `succ` part and it becomes a thunk:
MyInteger.$fToMyIntegerInteger [InlPrag=INLINE (sat-args=0)]
:: MyInteger.ToMyInteger GHC.Integer.Type.Integer
[GblId[DFunId(nt)]] =
{} \u [] $ctoMyInteger_rEA;
and its LFInfo is now LFThunk. This change in LFInfo makes a difference in the
use site: we can no longer tag it.
But becuase the interface fingerprint does not change (because ModIface does not
change) we don't rebuild Main and tag the thunk.
(1.2% increase in allocations when building T12545 on armv7 because we
generate more code without CafInfos)

In #17911, Simon recognised many warnings stemming from over-long list
unions while coverage checking Cabal's `LicenseId` module.
This patch introduces a new `PmAltConSet` type which uses a `UniqDSet`
instead of an association list for `ConLike`s. For `PmLit`s, it will
still use an assocation list, though, because a similar map data
structure would entail a lot of busy work.
Fixes #17911.

This read causes NULL dereferencing when len is 0.
Fixes #17909
In the reproducer in #17909 this bug is triggered as follows:
- SimplOpt.dealWithStringLiteral is called with a single-char string
("=" in #17909)
- tailFS gets called on the FastString of the single-char string.
- tailFS checks the length of the string, which is 1, and calls
mkFastStringByteString on the tail of the ByteString, which is an
empty ByteString as the original ByteString has only one char.
- ByteString's unsafeUseAsCStringLen returns (NULL, 0) for the empty
ByteString, which is passed to mkFastStringWith.
- mkFastStringWith gets hash of the NULL pointer via hashStr, which
fails on empty strings because of this bug.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Simplify treatment of heterogeneous equality
Previously, if we had a [W] (a :: k1) ~ (rhs :: k2), we would
spit out a [D] k1 ~ k2 and part the W as irreducible, hoping for
a unification. But we needn't do this. Instead, we now spit out
a [W] co :: k2 ~ k1 and then use co to cast the rhs of the original
Wanted. This means that we retain the connection between the
spat-out constraint and the original.
The problem with this new approach is that we cannot use the
casted equality for substitution; it's too like wanteds-rewriting-
wanteds. So, we forbid CTyEqCans that mention coercion holes.
All the details are in Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds]
in TcCanonical.
There are a few knock-on effects, documented where they occur.
While debugging an error in this patch, Simon and I ran into
infelicities in how patterns and matches are printed; we made
small improvements.
This patch includes mitigations for #17828, which causes spurious
pattern-match warnings. When #17828 is fixed, these lines should
be removed.

Summary:
- There is no more use of the TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE CPP macro in
`compiler/`. GHCI_TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE is also removed entirely.
The field within `PlatformMisc` within `DynFlags` is used instead.
- The field is still not exposed as a CLI flag. We might consider some
way to ensure the right RTS / libraries are used before doing that.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Demand analysis: simplify the demand for a RHS
Ticket #17932 showed that we were using a stupid demand for the RHS
of a let-binding, when the result is a product. This was the result
of a "fix" in 2013, which (happily) turns out to no longer be
necessary.
So I just deleted the code, which simplifies the demand analyser,
and fixes #17932. That in turn uncovered that the anticipation
of worker/wrapper in CPR analysis was inaccurate, hence the logic
that decides whether to unbox an argument in WW was extracted into
a function `wantToUnbox`, now consulted by CPR analysis.
I tried nofib, and got 0.0% perf changes.
All this came up when messing about with !2873 (ticket #17917),
but is idependent of it.
Unfortunately, this patch regresses #4267 and realised that it is now
blocked on #16335.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Store ComponentId details
As far as GHC is concerned, installed package components ("units") are
identified by an opaque ComponentId string provided by Cabal. But we
don't want to display it to users (as it contains a hash) so GHC queries
the database to retrieve some infos about the original source package
(name, version, component name).
This patch caches these infos in the ComponentId itself so that we don't
need to provide DynFlags (which contains installed package informations)
to print a ComponentId.
In the future we want GHC to support several independent package states
(e.g. for plugins and for target code), hence we need to avoid
implicitly querying a single global package state.

Within `checkValidDataCon`, we used to run `checkValidType` on the
argument types of a newtype constructor before running
`checkNewDataCon`, which ensures that the user does not attempt
non-sensical things such as newtypes with multiple arguments or
constraints. This works out in most situations, but this falls over
on a corner case revealed in #17955:
```hs
newtype T = Coercible () T => T ()
```
`checkValidType`, among other things, peforms an ambiguity check on
the context of a data constructor, and that it turn invokes the
constraint solver. It turns out that there is a special case in the
constraint solver for representational equalities (read: `Coercible`
constraints) that causes newtypes to be unwrapped (see
`Note [Unwrap newtypes first]` in `TcCanonical`). This special case
does not know how to cope with an ill formed newtype like `T`, so
it ends up panicking.
The solution is surprisingly simple: just invoke `checkNewDataCon`
before `checkValidType` to ensure that the illicit newtype
constructor context is detected before the constraint solver can
run amok with it.
Fixes #17955.

In #17977, we ran into the reduction depth limit of the typechecker.
That was only a symptom of a much broader issue: The recursion depth
of the coverage checker for trying to instantiate strict fields in the
`nonVoid` test was far too high (100, the `defaultMaxTcBound`).
As a result, we were performing quite poorly on `T17977`.
Short of a proper termination analysis to prove emptyness of a type,
we just arbitrarily default to a much lower recursion limit of 3.

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

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.

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

<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

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%
70 +0.04% -0.09% +2.29% +0.00%
80 +0.02% -1.17% +2.29% +0.00%
90 -0.02% -2.59% +1.86% +0.00%
100 +0.00% -2.59% +7.51% -0.00%
baseline +0.00% +0.00% +0.00% +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.

Also, this change happens to avoid the spurious test output in
`plugin-recomp-change` and `plugin-recomp-change-prof` (see #17308).

is only because GHC 8.8's and 8.10's coverage checkers weren't smart

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Handle promoted data constructors in typeToLHsType correctly
Instead of using `nlHsTyVar`, which hardcodes `NotPromoted`, have
`typeToLHsType` pick between `Promoted` and `NotPromoted` by checking
if a type constructor is promoted using `isPromotedDataCon`.
Fixes #18020.

<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.

It's simply not possible for this patch to increase allocations, and
I've wasted enough time on these test in the past (see #17686). I think
these tests should not be perf tests, but for now I'll bump the numbers.

<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.

2. Makes GHC actually implement that specification by using

<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.

The additional commentary introduced by commit 8916e64e5437 ("Implement

this wrong. We set 'prim' to true in overwritingClosureOfs because we
_don't_ want to call LDV_recordDead().
The reason is because of this "inherently used" distinction made in the LDV
profiler so I rename the variable to be more appropriate.

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.

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.

- `ConPat{In,Out}` -> `ConPat`

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

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`

fix them currently with the bigger refactor later in !1798. That way,

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.

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

<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.

`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.

<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.

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))

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

This MachOp was introduced by 2c959a1894311e59cd2fd469c1967491c1e488f3
but a wildcard match in cmmMachOpFoldM hid the fact that it wasn't
handled. Ideally we would eliminate the match but this appears to be a
larger task.

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
types. I decided to just remove the latter and replace it with a

<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
to a binder, it reports the error as in the RHS, not the rule:
...
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.

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.

- `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

<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
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
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

<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`.

Some platforms (musl, aarch64) do not have a working dynamic linker

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
needed as we will otherwise try to load the shared library even
if this will subsequently fail. At that point we have given up
looking for static options though.

<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

"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
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.

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;">Linear types (#15981)
This is the first step towards implementation of the linear types proposal
(https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/111).
It features
* A language extension -XLinearTypes
* Syntax for linear functions in the surface language
* Linearity checking in Core Lint, enabled with -dlinear-core-lint
* Core-to-core passes are mostly compatible with linearity
* Fields in a data type can be linear or unrestricted; linear fields
have multiplicity-polymorphic constructors.
If -XLinearTypes is disabled, the GADT syntax defaults to linear fields
The following items are not yet supported:
* a # m -> b syntax (only prefix FUN is supported for now)
* Full multiplicity inference (multiplicities are really only checked)
* Decent linearity error messages
* Linear let, where, and case expressions in the surface language
(each of these currently introduce the unrestricted variant)
* Multiplicity-parametric fields
* Syntax for annotating lambda-bound or let-bound with a multiplicity
* Syntax for non-linear/multiple-field-multiplicity records
* Linear projections for records with a single linear field
* Linear pattern synonyms
* Multiplicity coercions (test LinearPolyType)
A high-level description can be found at
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/LinearTypes/Implementation
Following the link above you will find a description of the changes made to Core.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Various performance improvements
This implements several general performance improvements to GHC,
to offset the effect of the linear types change.
General optimisations:
- Add a `coreFullView` function which iterates `coreView` on the
head. This avoids making function recursive solely because the
iterate `coreView` themselves. As a consequence, this functions can
be inlined, and trigger case-of-known constructor (_e.g._
`kindRep_maybe`, `isLiftedRuntimeRep`, `isMultiplicityTy`,
`getTyVar_maybe`, `splitAppTy_maybe`, `splitFunType_maybe`,
`tyConAppTyCon_maybe`). The common pattern about all these functions
is that they are almost always used as views, and immediately
consumed by a case expression. This commit also mark them asx `INLINE`.
- In `subst_ty` add a special case for nullary `TyConApp`, which avoid
allocations altogether.
- Use `mkTyConApp` in `subst_ty` for the general `TyConApp`. This
required quite a bit of module shuffling.
case. `myTyConApp` enforces crucial sharing, which was lost during
substitution. See also !2952 .
- Make `subst_ty` stricter.
- In `eqType` (specifically, in `nonDetCmpType`), add a special case,
tested first, for the very common case of nullary `TyConApp`.
`nonDetCmpType` has been made `INLINE` otherwise it is actually a
regression. This is similar to the optimisations in !2952.
Linear-type specific optimisations:
- Use `tyConAppTyCon_maybe` instead of the more complex `eqType` in
the definition of the pattern synonyms `One` and `Many`.
- Break the `hs-boot` cycles between `Multiplicity.hs` and `Type.hs`:
`Multiplicity` now import `Type` normally, rather than from the
`hs-boot`. This way `tyConAppTyCon_maybe` can inline properly in the
`One` and `Many` pattern synonyms.
- Make `updateIdTypeAndMult` strict in its type and multiplicity
- The `scaleIdBy` gets a specialised definition rather than being an
alias to `scaleVarBy`
- `splitFunTy_maybe` is given the type `Type -> Maybe (Mult, Type,
Type)` instead of `Type -> Maybe (Scaled Type, Type)`
- Remove the `MultMul` pattern synonym in favour of a view `isMultMul`
because pattern synonyms appear not to inline well.
- in `eqType`, in a `FunTy`, compare multiplicities last: they are
almost always both `Many`, so it helps failing faster.
- Cache `manyDataConTy` in `mkTyConApp`, to make sure that all the
instances of `TyConApp ManyDataConTy []` are physically the same.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove integer-simple
integer-simple uses lists of words (`[Word]`) to represent big numbers
instead of ByteArray#:
* it is less efficient than the newer ghc-bignum native backend
* it isn't compatible with the big number representation that is now
shared by all the ghc-bignum backends (based on the one that was

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">ghc-bignum library
ghc-bignum is a newer package that aims to replace the legacy
integer-simple and integer-gmp packages.
* it supports several backends. In particular GMP is still supported and
most of the code from integer-gmp has been merged in the "gmp"
backend.
* the pure Haskell "native" backend is new and is much faster than the
previous pure Haskell implementation provided by integer-simple
* new backends are easier to write because they only have to provide a
few well defined functions. All the other code is common to all
backends. In particular they all share the efficient small/big number
distinction previously used only in integer-gmp.
* backends can all be tested against the "native" backend with a simple
Cabal flag. Backends are only allowed to differ in performance, their
results should be the same.
* Add `integer-gmp` compat package: provide some pattern synonyms and
function aliases for those in `ghc-bignum`. It is intended to avoid
breaking packages that depend on `integer-gmp` internals.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Update compiler
Thanks to ghc-bignum, the compiler can be simplified:
* Types and constructors of Integer and Natural can be wired-in. It
means that we don't have to query them from interfaces. It also means
that numeric literals don't have to carry their type with them.
* The same code is used whatever ghc-bignum backend is enabled. In
particular, conversion of bignum literals into final Core expressions
is now much more straightforward. Bignum closure inspection too.
* GHC itself doesn't depend on any integer-* package anymore
* The `integerLibrary` setting is gone.

primitives in `base` without fearing issues with built-in rewrite
rules (cf #15286)
* `base` doesn't conditionally depend on an integer-* package anymore,
it depends on ghc-bignum

The problem is `mkOc` allocates a new `ObjectCode` and calls
`setOcInitialStatus` without initializing the `status` field.
`setOcInitialStatus` reads the field as first thing:
static void setOcInitialStatus(ObjectCode* oc) {
if (oc->status == OBJECT_DONT_RESOLVE)
return;
if (oc->archiveMemberName == NULL) {
oc->status = OBJECT_NEEDED;
} else {
oc->status = OBJECT_LOADED;
}
}
`setOcInitialStatus` is unsed in two places for two different purposes:
in `mkOc` where we don't have the `status` field initialized yet (`mkOc`
is supposed to initialize it), and `loadOc` where we do have `status`
field initialized and we want to update it. Instead of splitting the
function into two functions which are both called just once I inline the
functions in the use sites and remove it.
Fixes #18342
