In #18069 we are observing MVar deadlocks from somewhere in ghc.exe.
This use of MVar stood out as being one of the more likely culprits.
Here we make sure that it is exception-safe.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use LIdP rather than (XRec p (IdP p))
This patch mainly just replaces use of
XRec p (IdP p)
with
LIdP p
One slightly more significant change is to parameterise
HsPatSynDetails over the pass rather than the argument type,
so that it's uniform with HsConDeclDetails and HsConPatDetails.
I also got rid of the dead code GHC.Hs.type.conDetailsArgs
But this is all just minor refactoring. No change in functionality.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor UnitId pretty-printing
When we pretty-print a UnitId for the user, we try to map it back to its
origin package name, version and component to print
"package-version:component" instead of some hash.
The UnitId type doesn't carry these information, so we have to look into
a UnitState to find them. This is why the Outputable instance of
UnitId used `sdocWithDynFlags` in order to access the `unitState` field
of DynFlags.
This is wrong for several reasons:
1. The DynFlags are accessed when the message is printed, not when it is
generated. So we could imagine that the unitState may have changed
in-between. Especially if we want to allow unit unloading.
2. We want GHC to support several independent sessions at once, hence
several UnitState. The current approach supposes there is a unique
UnitState as a UnitId doesn't indicate which UnitState to use.
See the Note [Pretty-printing UnitId] in GHC.Unit for the new approach
implemented by this patch.
One step closer to remove `sdocDynFlags` field from `SDocContext`
(#10143).
Fix #18124.
Also fix some Backpack code to use SDoc instead of String.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PPC and X86: Portable printing of IEEE floats
GNU as and the AIX assembler support floating point literals.
SPARC seems to have support too but I cannot test on SPARC.
Curiously, `doubleToBytes` is also used in the LLVM backend.
To avoid endianness issues when cross-compiling float and double literals
are printed as C-style floating point values. The assembler then takes
care of memory layout and endianness.
This was brought up in #18431 by @hsyl20.

`hsExprNeedsParens`, `hsTypeNeedsParens`, and `patNeedsParens`
previously assumed that all uses of explicit tuples in the source
syntax never need to be parenthesized. This is true save for one
exception: boxed one-tuples, which use the `Solo` data type from
`GHC.Tuple` instead of special tuple syntax. This patch adds the
necessary logic to the three `*NeedsParens` functions to handle
`Solo` correctly.
Fixes #18612.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove "Ord FastString" instance
FastStrings can be compared in 2 ways: by Unique or lexically. We don't
want to bless one particular way with an "Ord" instance because it leads
to bugs (#18562) or to suboptimal code (e.g. using lexical comparison
while a Unique comparison would suffice).
UTF-8 encoding has the advantage that sorting strings by their encoded
bytes also sorts them by their Unicode code points, without having to
decode the actual code points. BUT GHC uses Modified UTF-8 which
diverges from UTF-8 by encoding \0 as 0xC080 instead of 0x00 (to avoid
null bytes in the middle of a String so that the string can still be
null-terminated). This patch adds a new `utf8CompareShortByteString`
function that performs sorting by bytes but that also takes Modified
UTF-8 into account. It is much more performant than decoding the strings
into [Char] to perform comparisons (which we did in the previous patch).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove potential space leak from Data.List.transpose
Previously, `transpose` produced a list of heads
and a list of tails independently. This meant that
a function using only some heads, and only some tails,
could potentially leak space. Use `unzip` to work
around the problem by producing pairs and selector
thunks instead. Time and allocation behavior will
be worse, but there should be no more leak potential.</pre>

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Introduce isBoxedTupleDataCon and use it to fix #18644
The code that converts promoted tuple data constructors to
`IfaceType`s in `GHC.CoreToIface` was using `isTupleDataCon`, which
conflates boxed and unboxed tuple data constructors. To avoid this,
this patch introduces `isBoxedTupleDataCon`, which is like
`isTupleDataCon` but only works for _boxed_ tuple data constructors.
While I was in town, I was horribly confused by the fact that there
were separate functions named `isUnboxedTupleCon` and
`isUnboxedTupleTyCon` (similarly, `isUnboxedSumCon` and
`isUnboxedSumTyCon`). It turns out that the former only works for
data constructors, despite its very general name! I opted to rename
`isUnboxedTupleCon` to `isUnboxedTupleDataCon` (similarly, I renamed
`isUnboxedSumCon` to `isUnboxedSumDataCon`) to avoid this potential
confusion, as well as to be more consistent with
the naming convention I used for `isBoxedTupleDataCon`.
Fixes #18644.

In b592bd98ff25730bbe3c13d6f62a427df8c78e28 we started using
-dead_strip_dylib on macOS when lining dynamic libraries and binaries.
The underlying reason being the Load Command Size Limit in macOS
Sierra (10.14) and later.
GHC will produce @rpath/libHS... dependency entries together with a
corresponding RPATH entry pointing to the location of the libHS...
library. Thus for every library we produce two Load Commands. One to
specify the dependent library, and one with the path where to find it.
This makes relocating libraries and binaries easier, as we just need to
update the RPATH entry with the install_name_tool. The dynamic linker
will then subsitute each @rpath with the RPATH entries it finds in the
libraries load commands or the environement, when looking up @rpath
relative libraries.
-dead_strip_dylibs intructs the linker to drop unused libraries. This in
turn help us reduce the number of referenced libraries, and subsequently
the size of the load commands. This however does not remove the RPATH
entries. Subsequently we can end up (in extreme cases) with only a
single @rpath/libHS... entry, but 100s or more RPATH entries in the Load
Commands.
This patch rectifies this (slighly unorthodox) by passing *no* -rpath
arguments to the linker at link time, but -headerpad 8000. The
headerpad argument is in hexadecimal and the maxium 32k of the load
command size. This tells the linker to pad the load command section
enough for us to inject the RPATHs later. We then proceed to link the
library or binary with -dead_strip_dylibs, and *after* the linking
inspect the library to find the left over (non-dead-stripped)
dependencies (using otool). We find the corresponding RPATHs for each
@rpath relative dependency, and inject them into the library or binary
using the install_name_tool. Thus achieving a deadstripped dylib (and
rpaths) build product.
We can not do this in GHC, without starting to reimplement a dynamic
linker as we do not know which symbols and subsequently libraries are
necessary.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove GENERATED pragma, as it is not being used
@alanz pointed out on ghc-devs that the payload of this pragma does
not appear to be used anywhere.
I (@bgamari) did some digging and traced the pragma's addition back to
d386e0d2 (way back in 2006!).
It appears that it was intended to be used by code generators for use
in informing the code coveraging checker about generated code
provenance. When it was added it used the pragma's "payload" fields as
source location information to build an "ExternalBox". However, it
looks like this was dropped a year later in 55a5d8d9. At this point
it seems like the pragma serves no useful purpose.
Given that it also is not documented, I think we should remove it.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Big refactor using guard tree variants more closely following source syntax (#18565)
Previously, we desugared and coverage checked plain guard trees as
described in Lower Your Guards. That caused (in !3849) quite a bit of
pain when we need to partially recover tree structure of the input
syntax to return covered sets for long-distance information, for
example.
In this refactor, I introduced a guard tree variant for each relevant
source syntax component of a pattern-match (mainly match groups, match,
GRHS, empty case, pattern binding). I made sure to share as much
coverage checking code as possible, so that the syntax-specific checking
functions are just wrappers around the more substantial checking
functions for the LYG primitives (`checkSequence`, `checkGrds`).
The refactoring payed off in clearer code and elimination of all panics
related to assumed guard tree structure and thus fixes #18565.
I also took the liberty to rename and re-arrange the order of functions
and comments in the module, deleted some dead and irrelevant Notes,
wrote some new ones and gave an overview module haddock.

In #18341, we discovered an incorrect digression from Lower Your Guards.
This MR changes what's necessary to support properly fixing #18341.
In particular, bottomness constraints are now properly tracked in the
oracle/inhabitation testing, as an additional field
`vi_bot :: Maybe Bool` in `VarInfo`. That in turn allows us to
model newtypes as advertised in the Appendix of LYG and fix #17725.
Proper handling of ⊥ also fixes #17977 (once again) and fixes #18670.
For some reason I couldn't follow, this also fixes #18273.
I also added a couple of regression tests that were missing. Most of
them were already fixed before.
In summary, this patch fixes #18341, #17725, #18273, #17977 and #18670.

By not attaching COMPLETE pragmas with a particular TyCon and instead
assume that every COMPLETE pragma is applicable everywhere, we can
drastically simplify the logic that tries to initialise available

as well as fixing a few bugs.
Of course, we have to make sure not to report any of the
ill-typed/unrelated COMPLETE sets, which came up in a few regression
tests.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Extract definition of DsM into GHC.HsToCore.Types
`DsM` was previously defined in `GHC.Tc.Types`, along with `TcM`. But
`GHC.Tc.Types` is in the set of transitive dependencies of `GHC.Parser`,
a set which we aim to minimise. Test case `CountParserDeps` checks for
that.
Having `DsM` in that set means the parser also depends on the innards of
the pattern-match checker in `GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck.Types`, which is the
reason we have that module in the first place.
In the previous commit, we represented the `TyState` by an `InertSet`,
but that pulls the constraint solver as well as 250 more modules into
the set of dependencies, triggering failure of `CountParserDeps`.
Clearly, we want to evolve the pattern-match checker (and the desugarer)
without being concerned by this test, so this patch includes a small
refactor that puts `DsM` into its own module.

In a hopefully temporary hack, I re-used the idea from !1957 of using a

definition of DsM ("Abstract Data").
This in turn broke the last dependency from the parser to the desugarer.
More details in `Note [The Decoupling Abstract Data Hack]`.
In the future, we hope to undo this hack again in favour of breaking the
dependency from the parser to DynFlags altogether.

Two bugs, #18627 and #18649, had the same cause: we were not
account for the fact that a constaint tuple might hide an implicit
parameter.
The solution is not hard: look for implicit parameters in
superclasses. See Note [Local implicit parameters] in
GHC.Core.Predicate.
Then we use this new function in two places
* The "short-cut solver" in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.shortCutSolver
which simply didn't handle implicit parameters properly at all.
This fixes #18627
* The specialiser, which should not specialise on implicit parameters
This fixes #18649
There are some lingering worries (see Note [Local implicit
parameters]) but things are much better.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Introduce and use DerivClauseTys (#18662)
This switches `deriv_clause_tys` so that instead of using a list of
`LHsSigType`s to represent the types in a `deriving` clause, it now
uses a sum type. `DctSingle` represents a `deriving` clause with no
enclosing parentheses, while `DctMulti` represents a clause with
enclosing parentheses. This makes pretty-printing easier and avoids
confusion between `HsParTy` and the enclosing parentheses in
`deriving` clauses, which are different semantically.
Fixes #18662.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Parser.y: clarify treatment of @{-# UNPACK #-}
Before this patch, we had this parser production:
ftype : ...
| ftype PREFIX_AT tyarg { ... }
And 'tyarg' is defined as follows:
tyarg : atype { ... }
| unpackedness atype { ... }
So one might get the (false) impression that that parser production is
intended to parse things like:
F @{-# UNPACK #-} X
However, the lexer wouldn't produce PREFIX_AT followed by 'unpackedness',
as the '@' operator followed by '{-' is not considered prefix.
Thus there's no point using 'tyarg' after PREFIX_AT,
and a simple 'atype' will suffice:
ftype : ...
| ftype PREFIX_AT atype { ... }
This change has no user-facing consequences. It just makes the grammar a
bit more clear.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Introduce OutputableP
Some types need a Platform value to be pretty-printed: CLabel, Cmm
types, instructions, etc.
Before this patch they had an Outputable instance and the Platform value
was obtained via sdocWithDynFlags. It meant that the *renderer* of the
SDoc was responsible of passing the appropriate Platform value (e.g. via
the DynFlags given to showSDoc). It put the burden of passing the
Platform value on the renderer while the generator of the SDoc knows the
Platform it is generating the SDoc for and there is no point passing a
different Platform at rendering time.
With this patch, we introduce a new OutputableP class:
class OutputableP a where
pdoc :: Platform -> a -> SDoc
With this class we still have some polymorphism as we have with `ppr`
(i.e. we can use `pdoc` on a variety of types instead of having a
dedicated `pprXXX` function for each XXX type).
One step closer removing `sdocWithDynFlags` (#10143) and supporting
several platforms (#14335).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Wire in constraint tuples
This wires in the definitions of the constraint tuple classes. The
key changes are in:
* `GHC.Builtin.Types`, where the `mk_ctuple` function is used to
define constraint tuple type constructors, data constructors, and
superclass selector functions, and
* `GHC.Builtin.Uniques`. In addition to wiring in the `Unique`s for
constraint tuple type and data constructors, we now must wire in
the superclass selector functions. Luckily, this proves to be not
that challenging. See the newly added comments.
Historical note: constraint tuples used to be wired-in until about
five years ago, when commit 130e93aab220bdf14d08028771f83df210da340b
turned them into known-key names. This was done as part of a larger
refactor to reduce the number of special cases for constraint tuples,
but the commit message notes that the main reason that constraint
tuples were made known-key (as opposed to boxed/unboxed tuples, which
are wired in) is because it was awkward to wire in the superclass
selectors. This commit solves the problem of wiring in superclass
selectors.
Fixes #18635.

Data.OldList exports a monomorphized singleton function but
it is not re-exported by Data.List. Adding the export to
Data.List causes a conflict with a 14-year old function of the
same name and type by SPJ in GHC.Utils.Misc. We can't just remove
this function because that leads to a problems when building
GHC with a stage0 compiler that does not have singleton in
Data.List yet. We also can't hide the function in GHC.Utils.Misc
since it is not possible to hide a function from a module if the
module does not export the function. To work around this, all
places where the Utils.Misc singleton was used now use a qualified
version like Utils.singleton and in GHC.Utils.Misc we are very
specific about which version we export.
