<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Print types of uncovered patterns (#18932)
In order to avoid confusion as in #18932, we display the type of the
match variables in the non-exhaustiveness warning, e.g.
```
T18932.hs:14:1: warning: [-Wincomplete-patterns]
Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
In an equation for ‘g’:
Patterns of type ‘T a’, ‘T a’, ‘T a’ not matched:
(MkT2 _) (MkT1 _) (MkT1 _)
(MkT2 _) (MkT1 _) (MkT2 _)
(MkT2 _) (MkT2 _) (MkT1 _)
(MkT2 _) (MkT2 _) (MkT2 _)
...
|
14 | g (MkT1 x) (MkT1 _) (MkT1 _) = x
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
It also allows us to omit the type signature on wildcard matches which
we previously showed in only some situations, particularly
`-XEmptyCase`.
Fixes #18932.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix strictness signatures of `prefetchValue*#` primops
Their strictness signatures said the primops are strict in their first
argument, which is wrong: Handing it a thunk will prefetch the pointer
to the thunk, but not evaluate it. Hence not strict.
The regression test `T8256` actually tests for laziness in the first
argument, so GHC apparently never exploited the strictness signature.
See also https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/8256#note_310867,
where this came up.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Demand: Interleave usage and strictness demands (#18903)
As outlined in #18903, interleaving usage and strictness demands not
only means a more compact demand representation, but also allows us to
express demands that we weren't easily able to express before.
Call demands are *relative* in the sense that a call demand `Cn(cd)`
on `g` says "`g` is called `n` times. *Whenever `g` is called*, the
result is used according to `cd`". Example from #18903:
```hs
h :: Int -> Int
h m =
let g :: Int -> (Int,Int)
g 1 = (m, 0)
g n = (2 * n, 2 `div` n)
{-# NOINLINE g #-}
in case m of
1 -> 0
2 -> snd (g m)
_ -> uncurry (+) (g m)
```
Without the interleaved representation, we would just get `L` for the
strictness demand on `g`. Now we are able to express that whenever
`g` is called, its second component is used strictly in denoting `g`
by `1C1(P(1P(U),SP(U)))`. This would allow Nested CPR to unbox the
division, for example.
Fixes #18903.
While fixing regressions, I also discovered and fixed #18957.

instance, has been an outdated wiki page.
Since the previous commits have reworked the demand lattice, I took
it as an opportunity to also write some documentation about notation.

This replaces all Word<N> = W<N># Word# and Int<N> = I<N># Int# with
Word<N> = W<N># Word<N># and Int<N> = I<N># Int<N>#, thus providing us
with properly sized primitives in the codegenerator instead of pretending
they are all full machine words.
This came up when implementing darwinpcs for arm64. The darwinpcs reqires
us to pack function argugments in excess of registers on the stack. While
most procedure call standards (pcs) assume arguments are just passed in
8 byte slots; and thus the caller does not know the exact signature to make
the call, darwinpcs requires us to adhere to the prototype, and thus have
the correct sizes. If we specify CInt in the FFI call, it should correspond
to the C int, and not just be Word sized, when it's only half the size.
This does change the expected output of T16402 but the new result is no
less correct as it eliminates the narrowing (instead of the `and` as was
previously done).
Bumps the array, bytestring, text, and binary submodules.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">RTS: Fix failed inlining of copy_tag.
On windows using gcc-10 gcc failed to inline copy_tag into evacuate.
To fix this we now set the always_inline attribute for the various
copy* functions in Evac.c. The main motivation here is not the
overhead of the function call, but rather that this allows the code
to "specialize" for the size of the closure we copy which is often
known at compile time.
An earlier commit also tried to avoid evacuate_large inlining. But
didn't quite succeed. So I also marked evacuate_large as noinline.

(Progress towards #11953, #17377, #17375)
`Int64Rep` and `Word64Rep` are currently broken on 64-bit systems. This
is because they should use "native arg rep" but instead use "large arg
rep" as they do on 32-bit systems, which is either a non-concept or a
128-bit rep depending on one's vantage point.
Now, these reps currently aren't used during 64-bit compilation, so the
brokenness isn't observed, but I don't think that constitutes reasons
not to fix it. Firstly, the linked issues there is a clearly expressed
desire to use explicit-bitwidth constructs in more places. Secondly, per
[1], there are other bugs that *do* manifest from not threading
explicit-bitwidth information all the way through the compilation
pipeline. One can therefore view this as one piece of the larger effort
to do that, improve ergnomics, and squash remaining bugs.
Also, this is needed for !3658. I could just merge this as part of that,
but I'm keen on merging fixes "as they are ready" so the fixes that
aren't ready are isolated and easier to debug.

Due to this the linker, which typically *needs* low memory, would end up
competing with the heap. In longer builds we end up running out of

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts/m32: Refactor handling of allocator seeding
Previously, in an attempt to reduce fragmentation, each new allocator
would map a region of M32_MAX_PAGES fresh pages to seed itself. However,
this ends up being extremely wasteful since it turns out that we often
use fewer than this. Consequently, these pages end up getting freed
which, ends up fragmenting our address space more than than we would
have if we had naively allocated pages on-demand.
Here we refactor m32 to avoid this waste while achieving the
fragmentation mitigation previously desired. In particular, we move all
page allocation into the global m32_alloc_page, which will pull a page
from the free page pool. If the free page pool is empty we then refill
it by allocating a region of M32_MAP_PAGES and adding them to the pool.
Furthermore, we do away with the initial seeding entirely. That is, the
allocator starts with no active pages: pages are rather allocated on an
as-needed basis.
On the whole this ends up being a pleasingly simple change,
simultaneously making m32 more efficient, more robust, and simpler.
Fixes #18980.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove flattening variables
This patch redesigns the flattener to simplify type family applications
directly instead of using flattening meta-variables and skolems. The key new
innovation is the CanEqLHS type and the new CEqCan constraint (Ct). A CanEqLHS
is either a type variable or exactly-saturated type family application; either
can now be rewritten using a CEqCan constraint in the inert set.
Because the flattener no longer reduces all type family applications to
variables, there was some performance degradation if a lengthy type family
application is now flattened over and over (not making progress). To
compensate, this patch contains some extra optimizations in the flattener,
leading to a number of performance improvements.
Close #18875.
Close #18910.
There are many extra parts of the compiler that had to be affected in writing
this patch:
* The family-application cache (formerly the flat-cache) sometimes stores
coercions built from Given inerts. When these inerts get kicked out, we must
kick out from the cache as well. (This was, I believe, true previously, but
somehow never caused trouble.) Kicking out from the cache requires adding a
filterTM function to TrieMap.
* This patch obviates the need to distinguish "blocking" coercion holes from
non-blocking ones (which, previously, arose from CFunEqCans). There is thus
some simplification around coercion holes.
* Extra commentary throughout parts of the code I read through, to preserve
the knowledge I gained while working.
* A change in the pure unifier around unifying skolems with other types.
Unifying a skolem now leads to SurelyApart, not MaybeApart, as documented
in Note [Binding when looking up instances] in GHC.Core.InstEnv.
* Some more use of MCoercion where appropriate.
* Previously, class-instance lookup automatically noticed that e.g. C Int was
a "unifier" to a target [W] C (F Bool), because the F Bool was flattened to
a variable. Now, a little more care must be taken around checking for
unifying instances.
* Previously, tcSplitTyConApp_maybe would split (Eq a => a). This is silly,
because (=>) is not a tycon in Haskell. Fixed now, but there are some
knock-on changes in e.g. TrieMap code and in the canonicaliser.
* New function anyFreeVarsOf{Type,Co} to check whether a free variable
satisfies a certain predicate.
* Type synonyms now remember whether or not they are "forgetful"; a forgetful
synonym drops at least one argument. This is useful when flattening; see
flattenView.
* The pattern-match completeness checker invokes the solver. This invocation
might need to look through newtypes when checking representational equality.
Thus, the desugarer needs to keep track of the in-scope variables to know
what newtype constructors are in scope. I bet this bug was around before but
never noticed.
* Extra-constraints wildcards are no longer simplified before printing.
See Note [Do not simplify ConstraintHoles] in GHC.Tc.Solver.
* Whether or not there are Given equalities has become slightly subtler.
See the new HasGivenEqs datatype.
* Note [Type variable cycles in Givens] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical
explains a significant new wrinkle in the new approach.
* See Note [What might match later?] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact, which
explains the fix to #18910.
* The inert_count field of InertCans wasn't actually used, so I removed
it.
Though I (Richard) did the implementation, Simon PJ was very involved
in design and review.
This updates the Haddock submodule to avoid #18932 by adding
a type signature.

Now that flattening doesn't produce flattening variables,
it's not really flattening anything: it's rewriting. This
change also means that the rewriter can no longer be confused
the core flattener (in GHC.Core.Unify), which is sometimes used
during type-checking.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimize dumping of consecutive whitespace.
The naive way of putting out n characters of indent would be something
like `hPutStr hdl (replicate n ' ')`. However this is quite inefficient
as we allocate an absurd number of strings consisting of simply spaces
as we don't cache them.
To improve on this we now track if we can simply write ascii spaces via
hPutBuf instead. This is the case when running with -ddump-to-file where
we force the encoding to be UTF8.
This avoids both the cost of going through encoding as well as avoiding
allocation churn from all the white space. Instead we simply use hPutBuf
on a preallocated unlifted string.
When dumping stg like this:
> nofib/spectral/simple/Main.hs -fforce-recomp -ddump-stg-final -ddump-to-file -c +RTS -s
Allocations went from 1,778 MB to 1,702MB. About a 4% reduction of
allocation! I did not measure the difference in runtime but expect it
to be similar.
Bumps the haddock submodule since the interface of GHC's Pretty
slightly changed.
