<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts: Teach getNumProcessors to return available processors
Previously we would report the number of physical processors, which
can be quite wrong in a containerized setting. Now we rather return how
many processors are in our affinity mask when possible.
I also refactored the code to prefer platform-specific since this will
report logical CPUs instead of physical (using
`machdep.cpu.thread_count` on Darwin and `cpuset_getaffinity` on FreeBSD).
Fixes #14781.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimize GHC.Utils.Monad.
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
nofib/spectral/simple/Main.hs when compiled with `-O`.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Cleanup OVERWRITING_CLOSURE logic
The code is just more confusing than it needs to be. We don't need to mix
the threaded check with the ldv profiling check since ldv's init already
checks for this. Hence they can be two separate checks. Taking the sanity
checking into account is also cleaner via DebugFlags.sanity. No need for
checking the DEBUG define.
The ZERO_SLOP_FOR_LDV_PROF and ZERO_SLOP_FOR_SANITY_CHECK definitions the
old code had also make things a lot more opaque IMO so I removed those.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Always zero shrunk mutable array slop when profiling
When shrinking arrays in the profiling way we currently don't always zero
the leftover slop. This means we can't traverse such closures in the heap
profiler. The old Note [zeroing slop] and #8402 have some rationale for why
this is so but I belive the reasoning doesn't apply to mutable
closures. There users already have to ensure multiple threads don't step on
each other's toes so zeroing should be safe.

<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.

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
rejected as ambiguous:
T7220a
T15438
T10503
T9222
* Some more interesting error message wibbles
T13381: Fine: one error (Int ~ Exp Int)
rather than two (Int ~ Exp Int, Exp Int ~ Int)
T9834: Small change in error (improvement)
T10619: Improved
T2414: Small change, due to order of unification, fine
T2534: A very simple case in which a change of unification order
means we get tow unsolved constraints instead of one
tc211: bizarre impredicative tests; just accept this for now

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

<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;">Clarify leaf module names for new module hierarchy
This updates comments only.
This patch replaces leaf module names according to new module
hierarchy [1][2] as followings:
* Expand leaf names to easily find the module path:
for instance, `Id.hs` to `GHC.Types.Id`.
* Modify leaf names according to new module hierarchy:
for instance, `Convert.hs` to `GHC.ThToHs`.
* Fix typo:
for instance, `GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.hs` to `GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep`

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Cross-module LambdaFormInfo passing
- Store LambdaFormInfos of exported Ids in interface files
- Use them in importing modules
This is for optimization purposes: if we know LambdaFormInfo of imported
Ids we can generate more efficient calling code, see `getCallMethod`.
Exporting (putting them in interface files or in ModDetails) and
importing (reading them from interface files) are both optional. We
don't assume known LambdaFormInfos anywhere and do not change how we
call Ids with unknown LambdaFormInfos.

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

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

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

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Add allowVirtualUnits field in PackageState
Instead of always querying DynFlags to know whether we are allowed to
use virtual units (i.e. instantiated on-the-fly, cf Note [About units]
in GHC.Unit), we store it once for all in
`PackageState.allowVirtualUnits`.
This avoids using DynFlags too much (cf #17957) and is preliminary work
for #14335.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Rename Package into Unit
The terminology changed over time and now package databases contain
"units" (there can be several units compiled from a single Cabal
package: one per-component, one for each option set, one per
instantiation, etc.). We should try to be consistent internally and use
"units": that's what this renaming does. Maybe one day we'll fix the UI
too (e.g. replace -package-id with -unit-id, we already have
-this-unit-id and ghc-pkg has -unit-id...) but it's not done in this
patch.

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

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

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.

<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.

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.

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.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Update `base` package
* GHC.Natural isn't implemented in `base` anymore. It is provided by
ghc-bignum in GHC.Num.Natural. It means that we can safely use Natural
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
* Some duplicated code in integer-* can now be factored in GHC.Float
* ghc-bignum tries to use a uniform naming convention so most of the
other changes are renaming

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.

We don't want to save both Fn and Dn register sets on x86-64 as they are
aliased to the same arch register (XMMn).
Moreover, when SAVE_STGREGS was used in conjunction with `jump foo [*]`
which makes a set of Cmm registers alive so that they cover all arch
registers used to pass parameter, we could have Fn, Dn and XMMn alive at
the same time. It made the LLVM code generator choke (see #17920).
Now `SAVE_REGS/RESTORE_REGS` and `jump foo [*]` use the same set of
registers.

Previously, if a .cmm file *not in the RTS* contained something like:

It would get compiled by CmmToC into:
```c
ERW_(msg);
const char msg[] = "Test\012";
```
and fail with:
```

```
See the rationale for this on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/compiler/backends/ppr-c#prototypes
Now we don't generate these extern declarations (ERW_, etc.) for
top-level data. It shouldn't change anything for the RTS (the only place
we use .cmm files) as it is already special cased in
`GHC.Cmm.CLabel.needsCDecl`. And hand-written Cmm can use explicit
extern declarations when needed.
Note that it allows `cgrun069` test to pass with CmmToC (cf #15467).

This patch fixes the bug and implements the feature request of #3000.
1. If `Module` is a real module name and `identifier` a name of a
top-level function in `Module` then `:break Module.identifer` works
also for an `identifier` that is out of scope.
2. Extend the syntax for `:break identifier` to:
:break [ModQual.]topLevelIdent[.nestedIdent]...[.nestedIdent]
`ModQual` is optional and is either the effective name of a module or
the local alias of a qualified import statement.
`topLevelIdent` is the name of a top level function in the module
referenced by `ModQual`.
`nestedIdent` is optional and the name of a function nested in a let or
where clause inside the previously mentioned function `nestedIdent` or
`topLevelIdent`.
If `ModQual` is a module name, then `topLevelIdent` can be any top level
identifier in this module. If `ModQual` is missing or a local alias of a
qualified import, then `topLevelIdent` must be in scope.
Breakpoints can be set on arbitrarily deeply nested functions, but the
whole chain of nested function names must be specified.
3. To support the new functionality rewrite the code to tab complete `:break`.

While looking at #18348 I noticed that the treatment of HashLists are a
bit more complex than necessary (which lead to some initial confusion on
my part). Specifically, we allocate HashLists in chunks. Each chunk
allocation makes two allocations: one for the chunk itself and one for a
HashListChunk to link together the chunks for the purposes of freeing.
Simplify this (and hopefully make the relationship between these
clearer) but allocating the HashLists and HashListChunk in a single
malloc. This will both make the implementation easier to follow and
reduce C heap fragmentation.
Note that even after this patch we fail to bound the size of the free
HashList pool. However, this is a separate bug.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Implement the proposed -XQualifiedDo extension
Co-authored-by: Facundo Domínguez <facundo.dominguez@tweag.io>
QualifiedDo is implemented using the same placeholders for operation names in
the AST that were devised for RebindableSyntax. Whenever the renamer checks
which names to use for do syntax, it first checks if the do block is qualified
(e.g. M.do { stmts }), in which case it searches for qualified names in
the module M.
This allows users to write
{-# LANGUAGE QualifiedDo #-}
import qualified SomeModule as M
f x = M.do -- desugars to:
y <- M.return x -- M.return x M.>>= \y ->
M.return y -- M.return y M.>>
M.return y -- M.return y
See Note [QualifiedDo] and the users' guide for more details.
Issue #18214
Proposal:
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0216-qualified-do.rst
Since we change the constructors `ITdo` and `ITmdo` to carry the new module
name, we need to bump the haddock submodule to account or the new shape of
these constructors.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Revamp the treatment of auxiliary bindings for derived instances
This started as a simple fix for #18321 that organically grew into a
much more sweeping refactor of how auxiliary bindings for derived
instances are handled. I have rewritten `Note [Auxiliary binders]`
in `GHC.Tc.Deriv.Generate` to explain all of the moving parts, but
the highlights are:
* Previously, the OccName of each auxiliary binding would be given
a suffix containing a hash of its package name, module name, and
parent data type to avoid name clashes. This was needlessly
complicated, so we take the more direct approach of generating
`Exact` `RdrName`s for each auxiliary binding with the same
`OccName`, but using an underlying `System` `Name` with a fresh
`Unique` for each binding. Unlike hashes, allocating new `Unique`s
does not require any cleverness and avoid name clashes all the
same...
* ...speaking of which, in order to convince the renamer that multiple
auxiliary bindings with the same `OccName` (but different
`Unique`s) are kosher, we now use `rnLocalValBindsLHS` instead of
`rnTopBindsLHS` to rename auxiliary bindings. Again, see
`Note [Auxiliary binders]` for the full story.
* I have removed the `DerivHsBind` constructor for
`DerivStuff`—which was only used for `Data.Data`-related
auxiliary bindings—and refactored `gen_Data_binds` to use
`DerivAuxBind` instead. This brings the treatment of
`Data.Data`-related auxiliary bindings in line with every other
form of auxiliary binding.
Fixes #18321.

`DynFlags.buildTag` was a field created from the set of Ways in
`DynFlags.ways`. It had to be kept in sync with `DynFlags.ways` which
was fragile. We want to avoid global state like this (#17957).
Moreover in #14335 we also want to support loading units with different
ways: target units would still use `DynFlags.ways` but plugins would use
`GHC.Driver.Ways.hostFullWays`. To avoid having to deal both with build
tag and with ways, we recompute the buildTag on-the-fly (should be
pretty cheap) and we remove `DynFlags.buildTag` field.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use NHsCoreTy to embed types into GND-generated code
`GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving` is in the unique situation where it must
produce an `LHsType GhcPs` from a Core `Type`. Historically, this was
done with the `typeToLHsType` function, which walked over the entire
`Type` and attempted to construct an `LHsType` with the same overall
structure. `typeToLHsType` is quite complicated, however, and has
been the subject of numerous bugs over the years (e.g., #14579).
Luckily, there is an easier way to accomplish the same thing: the
`XHsType` constructor of `HsType`. `XHsType` bundles an `NHsCoreTy`,
which allows embedding a Core `Type` directly into an `HsType`,
avoiding the need to laboriously convert from one to another (as
`typeToLHsType` did). Moreover, renaming and typechecking an
`XHsType` is simple, since one doesn't need to do anything to a
Core `Type`...
...well, almost. For the reasons described in
`Note [Typechecking NHsCoreTys]` in `GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType`, we must
apply a substitution that we build from the local `tcl_env` type
environment. But that's a relatively modest price to pay.
Now that `GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving` uses `NHsCoreTy`, the
`typeToLHsType` function no longer has any uses in GHC, so this patch
rips it out. Some additional tweaks to `hsTypeNeedsParens` were
necessary to make the new `-ddump-deriv` output correctly
parenthesized, but other than that, this patch is quite
straightforward.
This is a mostly internal refactoring, although it is likely that
`GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving`-generated code will now need fewer
language extensions in certain situations than it did before.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Reject nested foralls/contexts in instance types more consistently
GHC is very wishy-washy about rejecting instance declarations with
nested `forall`s or contexts that are surrounded by outermost
parentheses. This can even lead to some strange interactions with
`ScopedTypeVariables`, as demonstrated in #18240. This patch makes
GHC more consistently reject instance types with nested
`forall`s/contexts so as to prevent these strange interactions.
On the implementation side, this patch tweaks `splitLHsInstDeclTy`
and `getLHsInstDeclHead` to not look through parentheses, which can
be semantically significant. I've added a
`Note [No nested foralls or contexts in instance types]` in
`GHC.Hs.Type` to explain why. This also introduces a
`no_nested_foralls_contexts_err` function in `GHC.Rename.HsType` to
catch nested `forall`s/contexts in instance types. This function is
now used in `rnClsInstDecl` (for ordinary instance declarations) and
`rnSrcDerivDecl` (for standalone `deriving` declarations), the latter
of which fixes #18271.
On the documentation side, this adds a new
"Formal syntax for instance declaration types" section to the GHC
User's Guide that presents a BNF-style grammar for what is and isn't
allowed in instance types.
Fixes #18240. Fixes #18271.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Desugar quoted uses of DerivingVia and expression type signatures properly
The way that `GHC.HsToCore.Quote` desugared quoted `via` types (e.g.,
`deriving via forall a. [a] instance Eq a => Eq (List a)`) and
explicit type annotations in signatures (e.g.,
`f = id @a :: forall a. a -> a`) was completely wrong, as it did not
implement the scoping guidelines laid out in
`Note [Scoped type variables in bindings]`. This is easily fixed.
While I was in town, I did some minor cleanup of related Notes:
* `Note [Scoped type variables in bindings]` and
`Note [Scoped type variables in class and instance declarations]`
say very nearly the same thing. I decided to just consolidate the
two Notes into `Note [Scoped type variables in quotes]`.
* `Note [Don't quantify implicit type variables in quotes]` is
somewhat outdated, as it predates GHC 8.10, where the
`forall`-or-nothing rule requires kind variables to be explicitly
quantified in the presence of an explicit `forall`. As a result,
the running example in that Note doesn't even compile. I have
changed the example to something simpler that illustrates the
same point that the original Note was making.
Fixes #18388.

Before this patch we could generate addresses of this form:
movzbl cP0_str+-9223372036854775808,%eax
The linker can't handle them because the offset is too large:
ld.lld: error: Main.o:(.text+0xB3): relocation R_X86_64_32S out of range: -9223372036852653050 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]
With this patch we detect those cases and generate:
movq $-9223372036854775808,%rax
addq $cP0_str,%rax
movzbl (%rax),%eax
I've also refactored `getAmode` a little bit to make it easier to

Following a long conversation with Richard, this patch tidies up the

I have substantially edited the Notes in TyCl, so they would
bear careful reading.
Fixes #18300, #18357
In GHC.Tc.Instance.Family.newFamInst we were checking some Lint-like
properties with ASSSERT. Instead Richard and I have added
a proper linter for axioms, and called it from lintGblEnv, which in
turn is called in tcRnModuleTcRnM
New tests (T18300, T18357) cause an ASSERT failure in HEAD.

By default we don't link the RTS when linking shared libraries because in the
most usual mode a shared library is an intermediary product, for example a
Haskell library, that will be linked into some executable in the end. So we
wish to defer the RTS flavour to link to the final link.
However sometimes the final product is the shared library, for example when
writing a plugin for some other system, so we do wish the shared library to
link the RTS.
For consistency we also make -staticlib honor this flag and its inversion.
-staticlib currently implies -flink-shared.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix GHCi :print on big-endian platforms
On big-endian platforms executing
import GHC.Exts
data Foo = Foo Float# deriving Show
foo = Foo 42.0#
foo
:print foo
results in an arithmetic overflow exception which is caused by function
index where moveBytes equals
word_size - (r + item_size_b) * 8
Here we have a mixture of units. Both, word_size and item_size_b have
unit bytes whereas r has unit bits. On 64-bit platforms moveBytes
equals then
8 - (0 + 4) * 8
which results in a negative and therefore invalid second parameter for a
shiftL operation.
In order to make things more clear the expression
(word .&. (mask `shiftL` moveBytes)) `shiftR` moveBytes
is equivalent to
(word `shiftR` moveBytes) .&. mask
On big-endian platforms the shift must be a left shift instead of a
right shift. For symmetry reasons not a mask is used but two shifts in
order to zero out bits. Thus the fixed version equals
case endian of
BigEndian -> (word `shiftL` moveBits) `shiftR` zeroOutBits `shiftL` zeroOutBits
LittleEndian -> (word `shiftR` moveBits) `shiftL` zeroOutBits `shiftR` zeroOutBits

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Define multiShotIO and use it in mkSplitUniqueSupply
This patch is part of the ongoing eta-expansion saga;
see #18238.
It implements a neat trick (suggested by Sebastian Graf)
that allows the programmer to disable the default one-shot behaviour
of IO (the "state hack"). The trick is to use a new multiShotIO
function; see Note [multiShotIO]. For now, multiShotIO is defined
here in Unique.Supply; but it should ultimately be moved to the IO
library.
The change is necessary to get good code for GHC's unique supply;
see Note [Optimising the unique supply].
However it makes no difference to GHC as-is. Rather, it makes
a difference when a subsequent commit

lands.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Give Uniq[D]FM a phantom type for its key.
This fixes #17667 and should help to avoid such issues going forward.
The changes are mostly mechanical in nature. With two notable
exceptions.
* The register allocator.
The register allocator references registers by distinct uniques.
However they come from the types of VirtualReg, Reg or Unique in
various places. As a result we sometimes cast the key type of the
map and use functions which operate on the now typed map but take
a raw Unique as actual key. The logic itself has not changed it
just becomes obvious where we do so now.
* <Type>Env Modules.
As an example a ClassEnv is currently queried using the types `Class`,
`Name`, and `TyCon`. This is safe since for a distinct class value all
these expressions give the same unique.
getUnique cls
getUnique (classTyCon cls)
getUnique (className cls)
getUnique (tcName $ classTyCon cls)
This is for the most part contained within the modules defining the
interface. However it requires us to play dirty when we are given a
`Name` to lookup in a `UniqFM Class a` map. But again the logic did
not change and it's for the most part hidden behind the Env Module.
Some of these cases could be avoided by refactoring but this is left
for future work.
We also bump the haddock submodule as it uses UniqFM.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Reduce result discount in conSize
Ticket #18282 showed that the result discount given by conSize
was massively too large. This patch reduces that discount to
a constant 10, which just balances the cost of the constructor
application itself.
Note [Constructor size and result discount] elaborates, as
does the ticket #18282.
Reducing result discount reduces inlining, which affects perf. I
found that I could increase the unfoldingUseThrehold from 80 to 90 in
compensation; in combination with the result discount change I get
these overall nofib numbers:

Geometric Mean -0.1% -0.3% -17.6% -18.0% -0.7%
I'm ok with these numbers, remembering that this change removes
an *exponential* increase in code size in some in-the-wild cases.
I investigated compress2. The difference is entirely caused by this
function no longer inlining
WriteRoutines.$woutputCodes
= \ (w :: [CodeEvent]) ->
let result_s1Sr
= case WriteRoutines.outputCodes_$s$woutput w 0# 0# 8# 9# of
(# ww1, ww2 #) -> (ww1, ww2)
in (# case result_s1Sr of (x, _) ->
map @Int @Char WriteRoutines.outputCodes1 x
, case result_s1Sr of { (_, y) -> y } #)
It was right on the cusp before, driven by the excessive result
discount. Too bad!

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">compiler: re-engineer the treatment of rebindable if
Executing on the plan described in #17582, this patch changes the way if expressions
are handled in the compiler in the presence of rebindable syntax. We get rid of the
SyntaxExpr field of HsIf and instead, when rebindable syntax is on, we rewrite the HsIf
node to the appropriate sequence of applications of the local `ifThenElse` function.
In order to be able to report good error messages, with expressions as they were
written by the user (and not as desugared by the renamer), we make use of TTG
extensions to extend GhcRn expression ASTs with an `HsExpansion` construct, which
keeps track of a source (GhcPs) expression and the desugared (GhcRn) expression that
it gives rise to. This way, we can typecheck the latter while reporting the former in
error messages.
In order to discard the error context lines that arise from typechecking the desugared
expressions (because they talk about expressions that the user has not written), we
carefully give a special treatment to the nodes fabricated by this new renaming-time
transformation when typechecking them. See Note [Rebindable syntax and HsExpansion]
for more details. The note also includes a recipe to apply the same treatment to
other rebindable constructs.
Tests 'rebindable11' and 'rebindable12' have been added to make sure we report
identical error messages as before this patch under various circumstances.
We also now disable rebindable syntax when processing untyped TH quotes, as per
the discussion in #18102 and document the interaction of rebindable syntax and
Template Haskell, both in Note [Template Haskell quotes and Rebindable Syntax]
and in the user guide, adding a test to make sure that we do not regress in
that regard.

macOS Big Sur makes the following change to how frameworks are shipped
with the OS:
> New in macOS Big Sur 11 beta, the system ships with a built-in
> dynamic linker cache of all system-provided libraries. As part of
> this change, copies of dynamic libraries are no longer present on
> the filesystem. Code that attempts to check for dynamic library
> presence by looking for a file at a path or enumerating a directory
> will fail. Instead, check for library presence by attempting to
> dlopen() the path, which will correctly check for the library in the
> cache. (62986286)
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-big-sur-11-beta-release-notes/
Therefore, the previous method of checking whether a library exists
before attempting to load it makes GHC.Runtime.Linker.loadFramework
fail to find frameworks installed at /System/Library/Frameworks.
GHC.Runtime.Linker.loadFramework now opportunistically loads the
framework libraries without checking for their existence first,
failing only if all attempts to load a given framework from any of the
various possible locations fail.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">StgToCmm: Use CmmRegOff smart constructor
Previously we would generate expressions of the form
`CmmRegOff BaseReg 0`. This should do no harm (and really should be
handled by the NCG anyways) but it's better to just generate a plain
`CmmReg`.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">winio: Clean up code surrounding IOPort primitives.
According to phyx these should only be read and written once per
object. Not neccesarily in that order.
To strengthen that guarantee the primitives will now throw an
exception if we violate this invariant.
As a consequence we can eliminate some code from their primops.
In particular code dealing with multiple queued readers/writers
now simply checks the invariant and throws an exception if it
was violated. That is in contrast to mvars which will do things
like wake up all readers, queue multi writers etc.

Multithreaded threadDelay suffered from a race condition
based on the ioManagerStatus. Since the status isn't needed
for WIO I removed it completely.
This resulted in a light refactoring, as consequence we will always
wake up the IO manager using interruptSystemManager, which uses
`postQueuedCompletionStatus` internally.
I also added a few comments which hopefully makes the code easier to
dive into for the next person diving in.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">winio: Mark outstanding_service_requests volatile.
As far as I know C(99) gives no guarantees for code like
bool condition;
...
while(condition)
sleep();
that condition will be updated if it's changed by another thread.
So we are explicit here and mark it as volatile, this will force
a reload from memory on each iteration.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">winio: nonthreaded: Create io processing threads in main thread.
We now set a flag in the IO thread. The scheduler when looking for work
will check the flag and create/queue threads accordingly.
We used to create these in the IO thread. This improved performance
but caused frequent segfaults. Thread creation/allocation is only safe to
do if nothing currently accesses the storeagemanager. However without
locks in the non-threaded runtime this can't be guaranteed.
This shouldn't change performance all too much.
In the past we had:
* IO: Create/Queue thread.
* Scheduler: Runs a few times. Eventually picks up IO processing thread.
Now it's:
* IO: Set flag to queue thread.
* Scheduler: Pick up flag, if set create/queue thread. Eventually picks up IO processing thread.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">winio: Remove outstanding_requests from runner.
We used a variable to keep track of situations where we got
entries from the IO port, but all of them had already been
canceled. While we can avoid some work that way this case
seems quite rare.
So we give up on tracking this and instead always assume at
least one of the returned entries is valid.
If that's not the case no harm is done, we just perform some
additional work. But it makes the runner easier to reason about.
In particular we don't need to care if another thread modifies
oustanding_requests after we return from waiting on the IO Port.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Allow multiple case branches to have a higher rank type
As #18412 points out, it should be OK for multiple case alternatives
to have a higher rank type, provided they are all the same.
This patch implements that change. It sweeps away
GHC.Tc.Gen.Match.tauifyMultipleBranches, and friends, replacing it
with an enhanced version of fillInferResult.
The basic change to fillInferResult is to permit the case in which
another case alternative has already filled in the result; and in
that case simply unify. It's very simple actually.
See the new Note [fillInferResult] in TcMType
Other refactoring:
- Move all the InferResult code to one place, in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType
(previously some of it was in Unify)
- Move tcInstType and friends from TcMType to Instantiate, where it
more properly belongs. (TCMType was getting very long.)

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor the simplification of join binders
This MR (for #18449) refactors the Simplifier's treatment
of join-point binders.
Specifically, it puts together, into
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Env.adjustJoinPointType
two currently-separate ways in which we adjust the type of
a join point. As the comment says:
-- (adjustJoinPointType mult new_res_ty join_id) does two things:
--
-- 1. Set the return type of the join_id to new_res_ty
-- See Note [Return type for join points]
--
-- 2. Adjust the multiplicity of arrows in join_id's type, as
-- directed by 'mult'. See Note [Scaling join point arguments]
I think this actually fixes a latent bug, by ensuring that the
seIdSubst and seInScope have the right multiplicity on the type
of join points.
I did some tidying up while I was at it. No more
setJoinResTy, or modifyJoinResTy: instead it's done locally in
Simplify.Env.adjustJoinPointType

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use a newtype `Code` for the return type of typed quotations (Proposal #195)
There are three problems with the current API:
1. It is hard to properly write instances for ``Quote m => m (TExp a)`` as the type is the composition
of two type constructors. Doing so in your program involves making your own newtype and
doing a lot of wrapping/unwrapping.
For example, if I want to create a language which I can either run immediately or
generate code from I could write the following with the new API. ::
class Lang r where
_int :: Int -> r Int
_if :: r Bool -> r a -> r a -> r a
instance Lang Identity where
_int = Identity
_if (Identity b) (Identity t) (Identity f) = Identity (if b then t else f)
instance Quote m => Lang (Code m) where
_int = liftTyped
_if cb ct cf = [|| if $$cb then $$ct else $$cf ||]
2. When doing code generation it is common to want to store code fragments in
a map. When doing typed code generation, these code fragments contain a
type index so it is desirable to store them in one of the parameterised
map data types such as ``DMap`` from ``dependent-map`` or ``MapF`` from
``parameterized-utils``.
::
compiler :: Env -> AST a -> Code Q a
data AST a where ...
data Ident a = ...
type Env = MapF Ident (Code Q)
newtype Code m a = Code (m (TExp a))
In this example, the ``MapF`` maps an ``Ident String`` directly to a ``Code Q String``.
Using one of these map types currently requires creating your own newtype and constantly
wrapping every quotation and unwrapping it when using a splice. Achievable, but
it creates even more syntactic noise than normal metaprogramming.
3. ``m (TExp a)`` is ugly to read and write, understanding ``Code m a`` is
easier. This is a weak reason but one everyone
can surely agree with.
Updates text submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Accumulate Haddock comments in P (#17544, #17561, #8944)
Haddock comments are, first and foremost, comments. It's very annoying
to incorporate them into the grammar. We can take advantage of an
important property: adding a Haddock comment does not change the parse
tree in any way other than wrapping some nodes in HsDocTy and the like
(and if it does, that's a bug).
This patch implements the following:
* Accumulate Haddock comments with their locations in the P monad.
This is handled in the lexer.
* After parsing, do a pass over the AST to associate Haddock comments
with AST nodes using location info.
* Report the leftover comments to the user as a warning (-Winvalid-haddock).

mmap may return address all over the place. mmap_next will ensure we get
the next free page after the requested address.
This is especially important for linking on aarch64, where the memory model with PIC
admits relocations in the +-4GB range, and as such we can't work with
arbitrary object locations in memory.
Of note: we map the rts into process space, so any mapped objects must
not be ouside of the 4GB from the processes address space.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Care with occCheckExpand in kind of occurrences
Issue #18451 showed that we could get an infinite type, through
over-use of occCheckExpand in the kind of an /occurrence/ of a
type variable.
See Note [Occurrence checking: look inside kinds] in GHC.Core.Type
This patch fixes the problem by making occCheckExpand less eager
to expand synonyms in kinds.
It also improves pretty printing of kinds, by *not* suppressing
the kind on a tyvar-binder like
(a :: Const Type b)
where type Const p q = p. Even though the kind of 'a' is Type,
we don't want to suppress the kind ascription. Example: the
error message for polykinds/T18451{a,b}. See GHC.Core.TyCo.Ppr
Note [Suppressing * kinds].

Since switching to the two-step allocator, the `outofmem` test fails via

with `EXIT_FAILURE`, rather than `EXIT_HEAPOVERFLOW`. I think the latter
is a more reasonable exit code for this case and matches the behavior on

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Improve NegativeLiterals (#18022, GHC Proposal #344)
Before this patch, NegativeLiterals used to parse x-1 as x (-1).
This may not be what the user expects, and now it is fixed:
x-1 is parsed as (-) x 1.
We achieve this by the following requirement:
* When lexing a negative literal,
it must not be preceded by a 'closing token'.
This also applies to unboxed literals, e.g. -1#.
See GHC Proposal #229 for the definition of a closing token.
A nice consequence of this change is that -XNegativeLiterals becomes a
subset of -XLexicalNegation. In other words, enabling both of those
extensions has the same effect as enabling -XLexicalNegation alone.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">This patch addresses the exponential blow-up in the simplifier.
Specifically:
#13253 exponential inlining
#10421 ditto
#18140 strict constructors
#18282 another nested-function call case
This patch makes one really significant changes: change the way that
mkDupableCont handles StrictArg. The details are explained in
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify Note [Duplicating StrictArg].
Specific changes
* In mkDupableCont, when making auxiliary bindings for the other arguments
of a call, add extra plumbing so that we don't forget the demand on them.
Otherwise we haev to wait for another round of strictness analysis. But
actually all the info is to hand. This change affects:
- Make the strictness list in ArgInfo be [Demand] instead of [Bool],
and rename it to ai_dmds.
- Add as_dmd to ValArg
- Simplify.makeTrivial takes a Demand
- mkDupableContWithDmds takes a [Demand]
There are a number of other small changes
1. For Ids that are used at most once in each branch of a case, make
the occurrence analyser record the total number of syntactic
occurrences. Previously we recorded just OneBranch or
MultipleBranches.
I thought this was going to be useful, but I ended up barely
using it; see Note [Note [Suppress exponential blowup] in
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils
Actual changes:
* See the occ_n_br field of OneOcc.
* postInlineUnconditionally
2. I found a small perf buglet in SetLevels; see the new
function GHC.Core.Opt.SetLevels.hasFreeJoin
3. Remove the sc_cci field of StrictArg. I found I could get
its information from the sc_fun field instead. Less to get
wrong!
4. In ArgInfo, arrange that ai_dmds and ai_discs have a simpler
invariant: they line up with the value arguments beyond ai_args
This allowed a bit of nice refactoring; see isStrictArgInfo,
lazyArgcontext, strictArgContext
There is virtually no difference in nofib. (The runtime numbers
are bogus -- I tried a few manually.)

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Clean up the inferred type variable restriction
This patch primarily:
* Documents `checkInferredVars` (previously called
`check_inferred_vars`) more carefully. This is the
function which throws an error message if a user quantifies an
inferred type variable in a place where specificity cannot be
observed. See `Note [Unobservably inferred type variables]` in
`GHC.Rename.HsType`.
Note that I now invoke `checkInferredVars` _alongside_
`rnHsSigType`, `rnHsWcSigType`, etc. rather than doing so _inside_
of these functions. This results in slightly more call sites for
`checkInferredVars`, but it makes it much easier to enumerate the
spots where the inferred type variable restriction comes into
effect.
* Removes the inferred type variable restriction for default method
type signatures, per the discussion in #18432. As a result, this
patch fixes #18432.
Along the way, I performed some various cleanup:
* I moved `no_nested_foralls_contexts_err` into `GHC.Rename.Utils`
(under the new name `noNestedForallsContextsErr`), since it now
needs to be invoked from multiple modules. I also added a helper
function `addNoNestedForallsContextsErr` that throws the error
message after producing it, as this is a common idiom.
* In order to ensure that users cannot sneak inferred type variables
into `SPECIALISE instance` pragmas by way of nested `forall`s, I
now invoke `addNoNestedForallsContextsErr` when renaming
`SPECIALISE instance` pragmas, much like when we rename normal
instance declarations. (This probably should have originally been
done as a part of the fix for #18240, but this task was somehow
overlooked.) As a result, this patch fixes #18455 as a side effect.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't mark closed type family equations as occurrences
Previously, `rnFamInstEqn` would mark the name of the type/data
family used in an equation as an occurrence, regardless of what sort
of family it is. Most of the time, this is the correct thing to do.
The exception is closed type families, whose equations constitute its
definition and therefore should not be marked as occurrences.
Overzealously counting the equations of a closed type family as
occurrences can cause certain warnings to not be emitted, as observed
in #18470. See `Note [Type family equations and occurrences]` in
`GHC.Rename.Module` for the full story.
This fixes #18470 with a little bit of extra-casing in
`rnFamInstEqn`. To accomplish this, I added an extra
`ClosedTyFamInfo` field to the `NonAssocTyFamEqn` constructor of
`AssocTyFamInfo` and refactored the relevant call sites accordingly
so that this information is propagated to `rnFamInstEqn`.
While I was in town, I moved `wrongTyFamName`, which checks that the
name of a closed type family matches the name in an equation for that
family, from the renamer to the typechecker to avoid the need for an
`ASSERT`. As an added bonus, this lets us simplify the details of
`ClosedTyFamInfo` a bit.

This removes the `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` per the discussion in #18517.
Most of this patch simply removes code, although the code in the
`rnConDecl` case for `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` had to be moved around a
bit:
* The nested `forall`s check now lives in the `rnConDecl` case for
`ConDeclGADT`.
* The `LinearTypes`-specific code that used to live in the
`rnConDecl` case for `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` now lives in
`GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl`, which is now monadic so that
it can check if `-XLinearTypes` is enabled.

In the invocation of `cabal configure`, `--ghc-pkg-option=--global-package-db`
was already given correctly to tell `stage0/bin/ghc-pkg` that it should use
the package DB in `stage1/`.
However, `ghc` needs to be given this information as well, not only `ghc-pkg`!
Until now that was not the case; the package DB in `stage0` was given to
`ghc` instead.
This was wrong, because there is no binary compatibility guarantee that says
that the `stage0` DB's `package.cache` (which is written by the
stage0 == system-provided ghc-pkg) can be deserialised by the `ghc-pkg`
from the source code tree.
As a result, when trying to add fields to `InstalledPackageInfo` that get
serialised into / deserialised from the `package.cache`, errors like
_build/stage0/lib/package.conf.d/package.cache: GHC.PackageDb.readPackageDb: inappropriate type (Not a valid Unicode code point!)
would appear. This was because the `stage0/bin/ghc would try to
deserialise the newly added fields from
`_build/stage0/lib/package.conf.d/package.cache`, but they were not in there
because the system `ghc-pkg` doesn't know about them and thus didn't write them
there.
It would try to do that because any GHC by default tries to read the global
package db in `../lib/package.conf.d/package.cache`.
For `stage0/bin/ghc` that *can never work* as explained above, so we
must disable this default via `-no-global-package-db` and give it the
correct package DB explicitly.
This is the same problem as #16534, and the same fix as in MR !780
(but in another context; that one was for developers trying out the
`stage0/bin/ghc` == `_build/ghc-stage1` interactively, while this fix
is for a `cabal configure` invocation).
I also noticed that the fix for #16534 forgot to pass `-no-global-package-db`,
and have fixed that in this commit as well.
It only worked until now because nobody tried to add a new ghc-pkg `.conf`
field since the introduction of Hadrian.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor handling of object merging
Previously to merge a set of object files we would invoke the linker as
usual, adding -r to the command-line. However, this can result in
non-sensical command-lines which causes lld to balk (#17962).
To avoid this we introduce a new tool setting into GHC, -pgmlm, which is
the linker which we use to merge object files.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make CodeQ and TExpQ levity polymorphic
The patch is quite straightforward. The only tricky part is that
`Language.Haskell.TH.Lib.Internal` now must be `Trustworthy` instead
of `Safe` due to the `GHC.Exts` import (in order to import `TYPE`).
Since `CodeQ` has yet to appear in any released version of
`template-haskell`, I didn't bother mentioning the change to `CodeQ`
in the `template-haskell` release notes.
Fixes #18521.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Grammar for types and data/newtype constructors
Before this patch, we parsed types into a reversed sequence
of operators and operands. For example, (F x y + G a b * X)
would be parsed as [X, *, b, a, G, +, y, x, F],
using a simple grammar:
tyapps
: tyapp
| tyapps tyapp
tyapp
: atype
| PREFIX_AT atype
| tyop
| unpackedness
Then we used a hand-written state machine to assemble this
either into a type, using 'mergeOps',
or into a constructor, using 'mergeDataCon'.
This is due to a syntactic ambiguity:
data T1 a = MkT1 a
data T2 a = Ord a => MkT2 a
In T1, what follows after the = sign is a data/newtype constructor
declaration. However, in T2, what follows is a type (of kind
Constraint). We don't know which of the two we are parsing until we
encounter =>, and we cannot check for => without unlimited lookahead.
This poses a few issues when it comes to e.g. infix operators:
data I1 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char -- bad
data I2 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char => MkI2 -- fine
By this issue alone we are forced into parsing into an intermediate
representation and doing a separate validation pass.
However, should that intermediate representation be as low-level as a
flat sequence of operators and operands?
Before GHC Proposal #229, the answer was Yes, due to some particularly
nasty corner cases:
data T = ! A :+ ! B -- used to be fine, hard to parse
data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT -- bad
However, now the answer is No, as this corner case is gone:
data T = ! A :+ ! B -- bad
data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT -- bad
This means we can write a proper grammar for types, overloading it in
the DisambECP style, see Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories].
With this patch, we introduce a new class, DisambTD. Just like
DisambECP is used to disambiguate between expressions, commands, and patterns,
DisambTD is used to disambiguate between types and data/newtype constructors.
This way, we get a proper, declarative grammar for constructors and
types:
infixtype
: ftype
| ftype tyop infixtype
| unpackedness infixtype
ftype
: atype
| tyop
| ftype tyarg
| ftype PREFIX_AT tyarg
tyarg
: atype
| unpackedness atype
And having a grammar for types means we are a step closer to using a
single grammar for types and expressions.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Clean up the story around runPV/runECP_P/runECP_PV
This patch started as a small documentation change, an attempt to make
Note [Parser-Validator] and Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories]
more clear and up-to-date.
But it turned out that runECP_P/runECP_PV are weakly motivated,
and it's easier to remove them than to find a good rationale/explanation
for their existence.
As the result, there's a bit of refactoring in addition to
a documentation update.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Better long-distance info for where bindings (#18533)
Where bindings can see evidence from the pattern match of the `GRHSs`
they belong to, but not from anything in any of the guards (which belong
to one of possibly many RHSs).
Before this patch, we did *not* consider said evidence, causing #18533,
where the lack of considering type information from a case pattern match
leads to failure to resolve the vanilla COMPLETE set of a data type.
Making available that information required a medium amount of
refactoring so that `checkMatches` can return a
`[(Deltas, NonEmpty Deltas)]`; one `(Deltas, NonEmpty Deltas)` for each
`GRHSs` of the match group. The first component of the pair is the
covered set of the pattern, the second component is one covered set per
RHS.
Fixes #18533.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Add HomeUnit type
Since Backpack the "home unit" is much more involved than what it was
before (just an identifier obtained with `-this-unit-id`). Now it is
used in conjunction with `-component-id` and `-instantiated-with` to
configure module instantiations and to detect if we are type-checking an
indefinite unit or compiling a definite one.
This patch introduces a new HomeUnit datatype which is much easier to
understand. Moreover to make GHC support several packages in the same
instances, we will need to handle several HomeUnits so having a
dedicated (documented) type is helpful.
Finally in #14335 we will also need to handle the case where we have no
HomeUnit at all because we are only loading existing interfaces for
plugins which live in a different space compared to units used to
produce target code. Several functions will have to be refactored to
accept "Maybe HomeUnit" parameters instead of implicitly querying the
HomeUnit fields in DynFlags. Having a dedicated type will make this
easier.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Allow unsaturated runRW# applications
Previously we had a very aggressive Core Lint check which caught
unsaturated applications of runRW#. However, there is nothing
wrong with such applications and they may naturally arise in desugared
Core. For instance, the desugared Core of Data.Primitive.Array.runArray#
from the `primitive` package contains:
case ($) (runRW# @_ @_) (\s -> ...) of ...
In this case it's almost certain that ($) will be inlined, turning the
application into a saturated application. However, even if this weren't
the case there isn't a problem: CorePrep (after deleting an unnecessary
case) can simply generate code in its usual way, resulting in a call to
the Haskell definition of runRW#.
Fixes #18291.

This patch removes the use of `sdocWithDynFlags` from GHC.CmmToAsm.*.Ppr
To do that I've had to make some refactoring:
* X86' and PPC's `Instr` are no longer `Outputable` as they require a
`Platform` argument
* `Instruction` class now exposes `pprInstr :: Platform -> instr -> SDoc`
* as a consequence, I've refactored some modules to avoid .hs-boot files
* added (derived) functor instances for some datatypes parametric in the
instruction type. It's useful for pretty-printing as we just have to
map `pprInstr` before pretty-printing the container datatype.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Implement -Wredundant-bang-patterns (#17340)
Add new flag '-Wredundant-bang-patterns' that enables checks for "dead" bangs.
Dead bangs are the ones that under no circumstances can force a thunk that
wasn't already forced. Dead bangs are a form of redundant bangs. The new check
is performed in Pattern-Match Coverage Checker along with other checks (namely,
redundant and inaccessible RHSs). Given
f :: Bool -> Int
f True = 1
f !x = 2
we can detect dead bang patterns by checking whether @x ~ ⊥@ is satisfiable
where the PmBang appears in 'checkGrdTree'. If not, then clearly the bang is
dead. Such a dead bang is then indicated in the annotated pattern-match tree by
a 'RedundantSrcBang' wrapping. In 'redundantAndInaccessibles', we collect
all dead bangs to warn about.
Note that we don't want to warn for a dead bang that appears on a redundant
clause. That is because in that case, we recommend to delete the clause wholly,
including its leading pattern match.
Dead bang patterns are redundant. But there are bang patterns which are
redundant that aren't dead, for example
f !() = 0
the bang still forces the match variable, before we attempt to match on (). But
it is redundant with the forcing done by the () match. We currently don't
detect redundant bangs that aren't dead.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Add right-to-left rule for pattern bindings
Fix #18323 by adding a few lines of code to handle non-recursive
pattern bindings. see GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind
Note [Special case for non-recursive pattern bindings]
Alas, this confused the pattern-match overlap checker; see #18323.
Note that this patch only affects pattern bindings like that
for (x,y) in this program
combine :: (forall a . [a] -> a) -> [forall a. a -> a]
-> ((forall a . [a] -> a), [forall a. a -> a])
breaks = let (x,y) = combine head ids
in x y True
We need ImpredicativeTypes for those [forall a. a->a] types to be
valid. And with ImpredicativeTypes the old, unprincipled "allow
unification variables to unify with a polytype" story actually
works quite well. So this test compiles fine (if delicatedly) with
old GHCs; but not with QuickLook unless we add this patch

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.

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.

<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
COMPLETE sets of a variable during the pattern-match checking process,
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.
In doing so, we fix #17207, #18277 and #14422.

<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.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Disallow constraints in KindSigCtxt
This patch cleans up how `GHC.Tc.Validity` classifies `UserTypeCtxt`s
that can only refer to kind-level positions, which is important for
rejecting certain classes of programs. In particular, this patch:
* Introduces a new `TypeOrKindCtxt` data type and
`typeOrKindCtxt :: UserTypeCtxt -> TypeOrKindCtxt` function, which
determines whether a `UserTypeCtxt` can refer to type-level
contexts, kind-level contexts, or both.
* Defines the existing `allConstraintsAllowed` and `vdqAllowed`
functions in terms of `typeOrKindCtxt`, which avoids code
duplication and ensures that they stay in sync in the future.
The net effect of this patch is that it fixes #18714, in which it was
discovered that `allConstraintsAllowed` incorrectly returned `True`
for `KindSigCtxt`. Because `typeOrKindCtxt` now correctly classifies
`KindSigCtxt` as a kind-level context, this bug no longer occurs.

This patch fixes #18223, which made GHC generate an exponential
amount of code. There are three quite separate changes in here
1. Re-engineer eta-expansion (again). The eta-expander was
generating lots of intermediate stuff, which could be optimised
away, but which choked the simplifier meanwhile. Relatively
easy to kill it off at source.
See Note [The EtaInfo mechanism] in GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.
The main new thing is the use of pushCoArg in getArg_maybe.
2. Stop Specialise specalising DFuns. This is the cause of a huge
(and utterly unnecessary) blowup in program size in #18223.
See Note [Do not specialise DFuns] in GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise.
I also refactored the Specialise monad a bit... it was silly,
because it passed on unchanging values as if they were mutable
state.
3. Do an extra Simplifer run, after SpecConstra and before
late-Specialise. I found (investigating perf/compiler/T16473)
that failing to do this was crippling *both* SpecConstr *and*
Specialise. See Note [Simplify after SpecConstr] in
GHC.Core.Opt.Pipeline.
This change does mean an extra run of the Simplifier, but only
with -O2, and I think that's acceptable.
T16473 allocates *three* times less with this change. (I changed
it to check runtime rather than compile time.)
Some smaller consequences
* I moved pushCoercion, pushCoArg and friends from SimpleOpt
to Arity, because it was needed by the new etaInfoApp.
And pushCoValArg now returns a MCoercion rather than Coercion for
the argument Coercion.
* A minor, incidental improvement to Core pretty-printing
This does fix #18223, (which was otherwise uncompilable. Hooray. But
there is still a big intermediate because there are some very deeply
nested types in that program.
Modest reductions in compile-time allocation on a couple of benchmarks
T12425 -2.0%
T13253 -10.3%
Metric increase with -O2, due to extra simplifier run
T9233 +5.8%
T12227 +1.8%
T15630 +5.0%
There is a spurious apparent increase on heap residency on T9630,
on some architectures at least. I tried it with -G1 and the residency
is essentially unchanged.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix the occurrence analyser
Ticket #18603 demonstrated that the occurrence analyser's
handling of
local RULES for imported Ids
(which I now call IMP-RULES) was inadequate. It led the simplifier
into an infnite loop by failing to label a binder as a loop breaker.
The main change in this commit is to treat IMP-RULES in a simple and
uniform way: as extra rules for the local binder. See
Note [IMP-RULES: local rules for imported functions]
This led to quite a bit of refactoring. The result is still tricky,
but it's much better than before, and better documented I think.
Oh, and it fixes the bug.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Rewrite inhabitation test
We used to produce inhabitants of a pattern-match refinement type Nabla
in the checker in at least two different and mostly redundant ways:
1. There was `provideEvidence` (now called
`generateInhabitingPatterns`) which is used by
`GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck` to produce non-exhaustive patterns, which
produces inhabitants of a Nabla as a sub-refinement type where all
match variables are instantiated.
2. There also was `ensure{,All}Inhabited` (now called
`inhabitationTest`) which worked slightly different, but was
whenever new type constraints or negative term constraints were
added. See below why `provideEvidence` and `ensureAllInhabited`
can't be the same function, the main reason being performance.
3. And last but not least there was the `nonVoid` test, which tested
that a given type was inhabited. We did use this for strict fields
and -XEmptyCase in the past.
The overlap of (3) with (2) was always a major pet peeve of mine. The
latter was quite efficient and proven to work for recursive data types,
etc, but could not handle negative constraints well (e.g. we often want
to know if a *refined* type is empty, such as `{ x:[a] | x /= [] }`).
Lower Your Guards suggested that we could get by with just one, by
replacing both functions with `inhabitationTest` in this patch.
That was only possible by implementing the structure of φ constraints
as in the paper, namely the semantics of φ constructor constraints.
This has a number of benefits:
a. Proper handling of unlifted types and strict fields, fixing #18249,
without any code duplication between
`GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck.Oracle.instCon` (was `mkOneConFull`) and
`GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck.checkGrd`.
b. `instCon` can perform the `nonVoid` test (3) simply by emitting
unliftedness constraints for strict fields.
c. `nonVoid` (3) is thus simply expressed by a call to
`inhabitationTest`.
d. Similarly, `ensureAllInhabited` (2), which we called after adding
type info, now can similarly be expressed as the fuel-based
`inhabitationTest`.
See the new `Note [Why inhabitationTest doesn't call generateInhabitingPatterns]`
why we still have tests (1) and (2).
Fixes #18249 and brings nice metric decreases for `T17836` (-76%) and
`T17836b` (-46%), as well as `T18478` (-8%) at the cost of a few very
minor regressions (< +2%), potentially due to the fact that
`generateInhabitingPatterns` does more work to suggest the minimal
COMPLETE set.

This patch implements Quick Look impredicativity (#18126), sticking
very closely to the design in
A quick look at impredicativity, Serrano et al, ICFP 2020
The main change is that a big chunk of GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr has been
extracted to two new modules
GHC.Tc.Gen.App
GHC.Tc.Gen.Head
which deal with typechecking n-ary applications, and the head of
such applications, respectively. Both contain a good deal of
documentation.
Three other loosely-related changes are in this patch:
* I implemented (partly by accident) points (2,3)) of the accepted GHC
proposal "Clean up printing of foralls", namely
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/
master/proposals/0179-printing-foralls.rst
(see #16320).
In particular, see Note [TcRnExprMode] in GHC.Tc.Module
- :type instantiates /inferred/, but not /specified/, quantifiers
- :type +d instantiates /all/ quantifiers
- :type +v is killed off
That completes the implementation of the proposal,
since point (1) was done in
commit df08468113ab46832b7ac0a7311b608d1b418c4d
Author: Krzysztof Gogolewski <krzysztof.gogolewski@tweag.io>
Date: Mon Feb 3 21:17:11 2020 +0100
Always display inferred variables using braces
* HsRecFld (which the renamer introduces for record field selectors),
is now preserved by the typechecker, rather than being rewritten
back to HsVar. This is more uniform, and turned out to be more
convenient in the new scheme of things.
* The GHCi debugger uses a non-standard unification that allows the
unification variables to unify with polytypes. We used to hack
this by using ImpredicativeTypes, but that doesn't work anymore
so I introduces RuntimeUnkTv. See Note [RuntimeUnkTv] in
GHC.Runtime.Heap.Inspect
Updates haddock submodule.

* Fixes #9730 (test added)
* Fixes #7026 (test added)
* Fixes most of #8808, except function `g2'` which uses a
section (which doesn't play with QL yet -- see #18126)
Test added
* Fixes #1330. NB Church1.hs subsumes Church2.hs, which is now deleted
* Fixes #17332 (test added)
* Fixes #4295
* This patch makes typecheck/should_run/T7861 fail.
But that turns out to be a pre-existing bug: #18467.
So I have just made T7861 into expect_broken(18467)

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Improve kind generalisation, error messages
This patch does two things:
* It refactors GHC.Tc.Errors a bit. In debugging Quick Look I was
forced to look in detail at error messages, and ended up doing a bit
of refactoring, esp in mkTyVarEqErr'. It's still quite a mess, but
a bit better, I think.
* It makes a significant improvement to the kind checking of type and
class declarations. Specifically, we now ensure that if kind
checking fails with an unsolved constraint, all the skolems are in
scope. That wasn't the case before, which led to some obscure error
messages; and occasional failures with "no skolem info" (eg #16245).
Both of these, and the main Quick Look patch itself, affect a /lot/ of
error messages, as you can see from the number of files changed. I've
checked them all; I think they are as good or better than before.
Smaller things
* I documented the various instances of VarBndr better.
See Note [The VarBndr tyep and its uses] in GHC.Types.Var
* Renamed GHC.Tc.Solver.simpl_top to simplifyTopWanteds
* A bit of refactoring in bindExplicitTKTele, to avoid the
footwork with Either. Simpler now.
* Move promoteTyVar from GHC.Tc.Solver to GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType
Fixes #16245 (comment 211369), memorialised as
typecheck/polykinds/T16245a
Also fixes the three bugs in #18640

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Long-distance information for LocalBinds (#18626)
Now `desugarLocalBind` (formerly `desugarLet`) reasons about
* `FunBind`s that
* Have no pattern matches (so which aren't functions)
* Have a singleton match group with a single GRHS
* (which may have guards)
* and looks through trivial post-typechecking `AbsBinds` in doing so
to pick up the introduced renamings.
And desugars to `PmLet` LYG-style guards. Since GRHSs are no longer
denoted simply by `NonEmpty PmGRHS`, but also need to carry a `[PmGrd]`
for the `PmLet`s from `LocalBind`s, I added `PmGRHSs` to capture that.
Since we call out to the desugarer more often, I found that there were
superfluous warnings emitted when desugaring e.g. case expressions.
Thus, I made sure that we deactivate any warnings in the LYG desugaring
steps by the new wrapper function `noCheckDs`.
There's a regression test in `T18626`. Fixes #18626.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use ADTs for parser errors/warnings
Haskell and Cmm parsers/lexers now report errors and warnings using ADTs
defined in GHC.Parser.Errors. They can be printed using functions in
GHC.Parser.Errors.Ppr.
Some of the errors provide hints with a separate ADT (e.g. to suggest to
turn on some extension). For now, however, hints are not consistent
across all messages. For example some errors contain the hints in the
main message. I didn't want to change any message with this patch. I
expect these changes to be discussed and implemented later.
Surprisingly, this patch enhances performance. On CI

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't attach CPR signatures to NOINLINE data structures (#18154)
Because the generated `KindRep`s don't have an unfolding, !3230 did not
actually stop to compute, attach and serialise unnecessary CPR
signatures for them. As already said in
`Note [CPR for data structures]`, that leads to bloated interface
files which is ultimately quadratic for Nested CPR.
So we don't attach any CPR signature to bindings that
* Are not thunks (because thunks are not in WHNF)
* Have arity 0 (which means the top-level constructor is not a lambda)
If the data structure has an unfolding, we continue to look through it.
If not (as is the case for `KindRep`s), we look at the unchanged CPR
signature and see `topCprType`, as expected.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Inline `integerDecodeDouble#` and constant-fold `decodeDouble_Int64#` instead
Currently, `integerDecodeDouble#` is known-key so that it can be
recognised in constant folding. But that is very brittle and doesn't
survive worker/wrapper, which we even do for
`NOINLINE` things since #13143.
Also it is a trade-off: The implementation of `integerDecodeDouble#`
allocates an `Integer` box that never cancels aways if we don't inline
it.
Hence we recognise the `decodeDouble_Int64#` primop instead in constant
folding, so that we can inline `integerDecodeDouble#`. As a result,
`integerDecodeDouble#` no longer needs to be known-key.
While doing so, I realised that we don't constant-fold
`decodeFloat_Int#` either, so I also added a RULE for it.
`integerDecodeDouble` is dead, so I deleted it.
Part of #18092. This improves the 32-bit `realToFrac`/`toRational`:

Previously `TICK_BUMP_BY` was defined as

```
Yet the tickers themselves were defined as `StgInt`s. This happened to
work out correctly on Linux, where `CLong` is 64-bits. However, it
failed on Windows, where `CLong` is 32-bits, resulting in #18782.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts: fix race condition in StgCRun
On windows the stack has to be allocated 4k at a time, otherwise we get
a segfault. This is done by using a helper ___chkstk_ms that is provided
by libgcc. The Haskell side already knows how to handle this but we need
to do the same from STG. Previously we would drop the stack in StgRun
but would only make it valid whenever the scheduler loop ran.
This approach was fundamentally broken in that it falls apart when you
take a signal from the OS. We see it less often because you initially
get allocated a 1MB stack block which you have to blow past first.
Concretely this means we must always keep the stack valid.
Fixes #18601.

Now the following code will be successfully typechecked:
data C = MkC Natural
type CC = MkC 1
Before this change we had to create the separate type for promotion
data C = MkC Natural
data CP = MkCP Nat
type CC = MkCP 1
But CP is uninhabited in terms.
For backward compatibility type synonym `Nat` has been made:
type Nat = Natural
The user's documentation and tests have been updated.
The haddock submodule also have been updated.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make DataKinds the sole arbiter of kind-level literals (and friends)
Previously, the use of kind-level literals, promoted tuples,
and promoted lists required enabling both `DataKinds` and
`PolyKinds`. This made sense back in a `TypeInType` world, but not so
much now that `TypeInType`'s role has been superseded. Nowadays,
`PolyKinds` only controls kind polymorphism, so let's make `DataKinds`
the thing that controls the other aspects of `TypeInType`, which include
literals, promoted tuples and promoted lists.
There are some other things that overzealously required `PolyKinds`,
which this patch fixes as well:
* Previously, using constraints in kinds (e.g., `data T :: () -> Type`)
required `PolyKinds`, despite the fact that this is orthogonal to kind
polymorphism. This now requires `DataKinds` instead.
* Previously, using kind annotations in kinds
(e.g., `data T :: (Type :: Type) -> Type`) required both `KindSignatures`
and `PolyKinds`. This doesn't make much sense, so it only requires
`KindSignatures` now.
Fixes #18831.

There are two signficant changes here:
* Ticket #18815 showed that we were missing some opportunities for
preInlineUnconditionally. The one-line fix is in the code for
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.preInlineUnconditionally, which now
switches off only for INLINE pragmas. I expanded
Note [Stable unfoldings and preInlineUnconditionally] to explain.
* When doing this I discovered a way in which preInlineUnconditionally
was occasionally /too/ eager. It's all explained in
Note [Occurrences in stable unfoldings] in GHC.Core.Opt.OccurAnal,
and the one-line change adding markAllMany to occAnalUnfolding.
I also got confused about what NoUserInline meant, so I've renamed
it to NoUserInlinePrag, and changed its pretty-printing slightly.
That led to soem error messate wibbling, and touches quite a few
files, but there is no change in functionality.
I did a nofib run. As expected, no significant changes.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Skip type family defaults with hs-boot and hsig files
Works around #17190, possible resolution for #17224. New design is is
according to accepted [GHC Propoal 320].
Instances in signatures currently unconditionally opt into associated
family defaults if no explicit instance is given. This is bad for two
reasons:
1. It constrains possible instantiations to use the default, rather
than possibly define the associated family differently.
2. It breaks compilation as type families are unsupported in
signatures.
This PR simply turns off the filling in of defaults in those cases.
Additionally, it squelches a missing definition warning for hs-boot too
that was only squelched for hsig before.
The downsides are:
1. There is no way to opt into the default, other than copying its
definition.
2. If we fixed type classes in signatures, and wanted instances to
have to explicitly *out of* rather than into the default, that would
now be a breaking change.
The change that is most unambiguously goood is harmonizing the warning
squelching between hs-boot or hsig. Maybe they should have the warning
(opt out of default) maybe they shouldn't (opt in to default), but
surely it should be the same for both.
Add hs-boot version of a backpack test regarding class-specified
defaults in instances that appear in an hs-boot file.
The metrics increase is very slight and makes no sense --- at least no
one has figured anything out after this languishing for a while, so I'm
just going to accept it.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Arity: Refactor fixed-point iteration in GHC.Core.Opt.Arity
Arity analysis used to propagate optimistic arity types during
fixed-point interation through the `ArityEnv`'s `ae_cheap_fun` field,
which is like `GHC.Core.Utils.exprIsCheap`, but also considers the
current iteration's optimistic arity, for the binder in question only.
In #18793, we have seen that this is a problematic design, because it
doesn't allow us to look through PAP bindings of that binder.
Hence this patch refactors to a more traditional form with an explicit
signature environment, in which we record the optimistic `ArityType` of
the binder in question (and at the moment is the *only* binder that is
recorded in the arity environment).

In #18793, we saw a compelling example which requires us to look at
non-recursive let-bindings during arity analysis and unleash their arity
types at use sites.
After the refactoring in the previous patch, the needed change is quite
simple and very local to `arityType`'s defn for non-recurisve `Let`.
Apart from that, we had to get rid of the second item of
`Note [Dealing with bottoms]`, which was entirely a safety measure and
hindered optimistic fixed-point iteration.
Fixes #18793.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't get host RTS ways via settings (#18651)
To correctly perform a linking hack for Windows we need to link with the
RTS GHC is currently using. We used to query the RTS ways via the
"settings" file but it is fragile (#18651). The hack hasn't been fixed
to take into account all the ways (Tracing) and it makes linking of GHC
with another RTS more difficult (we need to link with another RTS and to
regenerate the settings file).
So this patch uses the ways reported by the RTS itself
(GHC.Platform.Ways.hostWays) instead of the "settings" file.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Compile modules with `-fobject-code` enabled to byte-code when loaded with `*` prefix in ghci (#8042)
The documentation states that when using :add and :load, the `*` prefix forces a module
to be loaded as byte-code. However, this seems to be ignored when -fobject-code has been
enabled. In that case, the compiled code is always used, regardless of whether the *-form
is used.
The idea is to consult the Targets in HscEnv and check the 'targetAllowObjCode' flag. If
the flag for given module is set, then patch up DynFlags and select compilation backend
accordingly.
This would require a linear scan of course, but that shouldn't be too costly.

This patch fixes two problems in the constraint solver.
* An actual bug #18555: we were floating out a constraint to eagerly,
and that was ultimately fatal. It's explained in
Note [Do not float blocked constraints] in GHC.Core.Constraint.
This is all very delicate, but it's all going to become irrelevant
when we stop floating constraints (#17656).
* A major performance infelicity in the flattener. When flattening
(ty |> co) we *never* generated Refl, even when there was nothing
at all to do. Result: we would gratuitously rewrite the constraint
to exactly the same thing, wasting work. Described in #18413, and
came up again in #18855.
Solution: exploit the special case by calling the new function
castCoercionKind1. See Note [castCoercionKind1] in
GHC.Core.Coercion

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">DmdAnal: Kill `is_thunk` case in `splitFV`
The `splitFV` function implements the highly dubious hack
described in `Note [Lazy und unleashable free variables]` in
GHC.Core.Opt.DmdAnal. It arranges it so that demand signatures only
carry strictness info on free variables. Usage info is released through
other means, see the Note. It's purely for analysis performance reasons.
It turns out that `splitFV` has a quite involved case for thunks that
produces slightly different usage signatures and it's not clear why we
need it: `splitFV` is only relevant in the LetDown case and the only
time we call it on thunks is for top-level or local recursive thunks.
Since usage signatures of top-level thunks can only reference other
top-level bindings and we completely discard demand info we have on
top-level things (see the lack of `setIdDemandInfo` in
`dmdAnalTopBind`), the `is_thunk` case is completely irrelevant here.
For local, recursive thunks, the added benefit of the `is_thunk` test
is marginal: We get used-multiple-times in some cases where previously
we had used-once if a recursive thunk has multiple call sites. It's
very unlikely and not a case to optimise for.
So we kill the `is_thunk` case and inline `splitFV` at its call site,
exposing `isWeakDmd` from `GHC.Types.Demand` instead.
The NoFib summary supports this decision:
```
Min 0.0% -0.0%
Max 0.0% +0.0%
Geometric Mean -0.0% -0.0%
```

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Split GHC.Driver.Types
I was working on making DynFlags stateless (#17957), especially by
storing loaded plugins into HscEnv instead of DynFlags. It turned out to
be complicated because HscEnv is in GHC.Driver.Types but LoadedPlugin
isn't: it is in GHC.Driver.Plugins which depends on GHC.Driver.Types. I
didn't feel like introducing yet another hs-boot file to break the loop.
Additionally I remember that while we introduced the module hierarchy
(#13009) we talked about splitting GHC.Driver.Types because it contained
various unrelated types and functions, but we never executed. I didn't
feel like making GHC.Driver.Types bigger with more unrelated Plugins
related types, so finally I bit the bullet and split GHC.Driver.Types.
As a consequence this patch moves a lot of things. I've tried to put
them into appropriate modules but nothing is set in stone.
Several other things moved to avoid loops.
* Removed Binary instances from GHC.Utils.Binary for random compiler
things
* Moved Typeable Binary instances into GHC.Utils.Binary.Typeable: they
import a lot of things that users of GHC.Utils.Binary don't want to
depend on.
* put everything related to Units/Modules under GHC.Unit:
GHC.Unit.Finder, GHC.Unit.Module.{ModGuts,ModIface,Deps,etc.}
* Created several modules under GHC.Types: GHC.Types.Fixity, SourceText,
etc.
* Split GHC.Utils.Error (into GHC.Types.Error)
* Finally removed GHC.Driver.Types
Note that this patch doesn't put loaded plugins into HscEnv. It's left
for another patch.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Check for large tuples more thoroughly
This fixes #18723 by:
* Moving the existing `GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.bigConstraintTuple` validity
check to `GHC.Rename.Utils.checkCTupSize` for consistency with
`GHC.Rename.Utils.checkTupSize`, and
* Using `check(C)TupSize` when checking tuple _types_, in addition
to checking names, expressions, and patterns.
Note that I put as many of these checks as possible in the typechecker so
that GHC can properly distinguish between boxed and constraint tuples. The
exception to this rule is checking names, which I perform in the renamer
(in `GHC.Rename.Env`) so that we can rule out `(,, ... ,,)` and
`''(,, ... ,,)` alike in one fell swoop.
While I was in town, I also removed the `HsConstraintTuple` and
`HsBoxedTuple` constructors of `HsTupleSort`, which are functionally
unused. This requires a `haddock` submodule bump.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Split HsConDecl{H98,GADT}Details
Haskell98 and GADT constructors both use `HsConDeclDetails`, which includes
`InfixCon`. But `InfixCon` is never used for GADT constructors, which results
in an awkward unrepresentable state. This removes the unrepresentable state by:
* Renaming the existing `HsConDeclDetails` synonym to `HsConDeclH98Details`,
which emphasizes the fact that it is now only used for Haskell98-style data
constructors, and
* Creating a new `HsConDeclGADTDetails` data type with `PrefixConGADT` and
`RecConGADT` constructors that closely resemble `PrefixCon` and `InfixCon`
in `HsConDeclH98Details`. The key difference is that `HsConDeclGADTDetails`
lacks any way to represent infix constructors.
The rest of the patch is refactoring to accommodate the new structure of
`HsConDecl{H98,GADT}Details`. Some highlights:
* The `getConArgs` and `hsConDeclArgTys` functions have been removed, as
there is no way to implement these functions uniformly for all
`ConDecl`s. For the most part, their previous call sites now
pattern match on the `ConDecl`s directly and do different things for
`ConDeclH98`s and `ConDeclGADT`s.
I did introduce one new function to make the transition easier:
`getRecConArgs_maybe`, which extracts the arguments from a `RecCon(GADT)`.
This is still possible since `RecCon(GADT)`s still use the same representation
in both `HsConDeclH98Details` and `HsConDeclGADTDetails`, and since the
pattern that `getRecConArgs_maybe` implements is used in several places,
I thought it worthwhile to factor it out into its own function.
* Previously, the `con_args` fields in `ConDeclH98` and `ConDeclGADT` were
both of type `HsConDeclDetails`. Now, the former is of type
`HsConDeclH98Details`, and the latter is of type `HsConDeclGADTDetails`,
which are distinct types. As a result, I had to rename the `con_args` field
in `ConDeclGADT` to `con_g_args` to make it typecheck.
A consequence of all this is that the `con_args` field is now partial, so
using `con_args` as a top-level field selector is dangerous. (Indeed, Haddock
was using `con_args` at the top-level, which caused it to crash at runtime
before I noticed what was wrong!) I decided to add a disclaimer in the 9.2.1
release notes to advertise this pitfall.
Fixes #18844. Bumps the `haddock` submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make typechecker equality consider visibility in ForAllTys
Previously, `can_eq_nc'` would equate `ForAllTy`s regardless of their
`ArgFlag`, including `forall i -> i -> Type` and `forall i. i -> Type`! To fix
this, `can_eq_nc'` now uses the `sameVis` function to first check if the
`ArgFlag`s are equal modulo specificity. I have also updated `tcEqType`'s
implementation to match this behavior. For more explanation on the "modulo
specificity" part, see the new `Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality]`
in `GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical`.
While I was in town, I fixed some related documentation issues:
* I added `Note [Typechecker equality]` to `GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType` to describe
what exactly distinguishes `can_eq_nc'` and `tcEqType` (which implement
typechecker equality) from `eqType` (which implements definitional equality,
which does not care about the `ArgFlags` of `ForAllTy`s at all).
* The User's Guide had some outdated prose on the specified/inferred
distinction being different for types and kinds, a holdover from #15079. This
is no longer the case on today's GHC, so I removed this prose, added some new
prose to take its place, and added a regression test for the programs in
#15079.
* The User's Guide had some _more_ outdated prose on inferred type variables
not being allowed in `default` type signatures for class methods, which is no
longer true as of the resolution of #18432.
* The related `Note [Deferred Unification]` was being referenced as
`Note [Deferred unification]` elsewhere, which made it harder to `grep`
for. I decided to change the name of the Note to `Deferred unification`
for consistency with the capitalization style used for most other Notes.
Fixes #18863.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor numeric constant folding rules
Avoid the use of global pattern synonyms.
1) I think it's going to be helpful to implement constant folding for
other numeric types, especially Natural which doesn't have a wrapping
behavior. We'll have to refactor these rules even more so we'd better
make them less cryptic.
2) It should also be slightly faster because global pattern synonyms
matched operations for every numeric types instead of the current one:
e.g., ":**:" pattern was matching multiplication for both Int# and
Word# types. As we will probably want to implement constant folding
for other numeric types (Int8#, Int16#, etc.), it is more efficient
to only match primops for a given type as we do now.

See #18032 for the details.
* Use `Lit (LitNumber _ i)` instead of `isLitValue_maybe` which does
more work but that is not needed for constant-folding
* Don't export `GHC.Types.Literal.isLitValue_maybe`
* Kill `GHC.Types.Literal.isLitValue` which isn't used
