During heap analysis, we noticed that during generation of
'mi_extra_decls' we have lots of duplicates for the instances:
* `IfaceTyConInfo NotPromoted IfaceNormalTyCon`
* `IfaceTyConInfo IsPromoted IfaceNormalTyCon`
which should be shared instead of duplicated. This duplication increased
the number of live bytes by around 200MB while loading the agda codebase
into GHCi.
These instances are created during `CoreToIface` translation, in
particular `toIfaceTyCon`.
The generated core looks like:
toIfaceTyCon
= \ tc_sjJw ->
case $wtoIfaceTyCon tc_sjJw of
{ (# ww_sjJz, ww1_sjNL, ww2_sjNM #) ->
IfaceTyCon ww_sjJz (IfaceTyConInfo ww1_sjNL ww2_sjNM)
}
whichs removes causes the sharing to work propery.
Adding explicit sharing, with NOINLINE annotations, changes the core to:
toIfaceTyCon
= \ tc_sjJq ->
case $wtoIfaceTyCon tc_sjJq of { (# ww_sjNB, ww1_sjNC #) ->
IfaceTyCon ww_sjNB ww1_sjNC
}
which looks much more like sharing is happening.
We confirmed via ghc-debug that all duplications were eliminated and the
number of live bytes are noticeably reduced.

Uses responseFile syntax.
The issue arises when GHC is installed on windows into a location that
has a space, for example the user name is 'Fake User'.
The $topdir will also contain a space, consequentially.
When we resolve the top dir in the string `-I$topdir/mingw/include`,
then `words` will turn this single argument into `-I/C/Users/Fake` and
`User/.../mingw/include` which trips up the flag argument parser of
various tools such as gcc or clang.
We avoid this by escaping the $topdir before replacing it in
`initSettngs`.
Additionally, we allow to escape spaces and quotation marks for
arguments in `settings` file.
Add regression test case to count the number of options after variable
expansion and argument escaping took place.
Additionally, we check that escaped spaces and double quotation marks are
correctly parsed.

Before this patch, the global package database was always assumed to be
in libdir </> package.conf.d.
This causes issues in GHC's build system because there are sometimes
situations where the package database you need to use is not located in
the same place as the settings file.
* The stage1 compiler needs to use stage1 libraries, so we should set
"Global Package DB" for the stage1 compiler to the stage1 package
database.
* Stage 2 cross compilers need to use stage2 libraries, so likewise, we
should set the package database path to `_build/stage2/lib/`
* The normal situation is where the stage2 compiler uses stage1
libraries. Then everything lines up.
* When installing we have rearranged everything so that the settings
file and package database line up properly, so then everything should
continue to work as before. In this case we set the relative package
db path to `package.conf.d`, so it resolves the same as before.
* ghc-pkg needs to be modified as well to look in the settings file fo
the package database rather than assuming the global package database
location relative to the lib folder.
* Cabal/cabal-install will work correctly because they query the global
package database using `--print-global-package-db`.
A reasonable question is why not generate the "right" settings files in
the right places in GHC's build system. In order to do this you would
need to engineer wrappers for all executables to point to a specific
libdir. There are also situations where the same package db is used by
two different compilers with two different settings files (think stage2
cross compiler and stage3 compiler).
In short, this 10 line patch allows for some reasonable simplifications
in Hadrian at very little cost to anything else.
Fixes #24502

Don't use bigNatFromWord#, because that's terrible:
* We shouldn't have to traverse a linked list at run-time
to build a BigNat# literal. That's just silly!
* The static List object we have to create is much larger
than the actual BigNat#'s contents, bloating code size.
* We have to read the corresponding interface file,
which causes un-tracked implicit dependencies. (#23942)
Instead, encode them into the appropriate platform-dependent
sequence of bytes, and generate code that copies these bytes
at run-time from an Addr# literal into a new ByteArray#.
A ByteArray# literal would be the correct thing to generate,
but these are not yet supported; see also #17747.
Somewhat surprisingly, this change results in a slight
reduction in compiler allocations, averaging around 0.5%
on ghc's compiler performance tests, including when compiling
programs that contain no bignum literals to begin with.
The specific cause of this has not been investigated.
Since this lowering no longer reads the interface file for
GHC.Num.BigNat, the reasoning in Note [Depend on GHC.Num.Integer]
is obsoleted. But the story of un-tracked built-in dependencies
remains complex, and Note [Tracking dependencies on primitives]
now exists to explain this complexity.
Additionally, many empty imports have been modified to refer to
this new note and comply with its guidance. Several empty imports
necessary for other reasons have also been given brief explanations.

Heap analysis showed that `IfaceTyCon` retains a thunk to
`IfaceTyConInfo`, defeating the sharing of the most common instances of
`IfaceTyConInfo`.
We make sure the indirection is removed by adding bang patterns to
`IfaceTyCon`.
Experimental results on the agda code base, where the `mi_extra_decls`
were read from disk:
Before this change, we observe around 8654045 instances of:
`IfaceTyCon[Name,THUNK_1_0]`
But these thunks almost exclusively point to a shared value!
Forcing the thunk a little bit more, leads to `ghc-debug` reporting:
`IfaceTyCon[Name:Name,IfaceTyConInfo]`
and a noticeable reduction of live bytes (on agda ~10%).

This reverts commit c82770f57977a2b5add6e1378f234f8dd6153392.
The shellcheck suggestion is spurious and results in SUBST_TOOLDIR being a
no-op. `set` sets positional arguments for bash, but we want to set the variable
given as the first autoconf argument.

In #24563, we identified that IfaceAppArgs serialisation tags each
cons cell element with a discriminator byte. These bytes add up
quickly, blowing up interface files considerably when
'-fwrite-if-simplified-core' is enabled.
We compact the serialisation by writing out the length of
'IfaceAppArgs', followed by serialising the elements directly without
any discriminator byte.
This improvement can decrease the size of some interface files by up
to 35%.

Type operators differ from term operators in that they are lexically

Prior to this change, promoteOccName did not account for this

In #24551, we abstracted a string literal binding over a type variable,
triggering a CoreLint error when that binding floated to top-level.
The solution implemented in this patch fixes this by re-doing dependency
analysis on a simplified recursive let binding that is about to be type
abstracted, in order to find the minimal set of type variables to abstract over.
See wrinkle (AB5) of Note [Floating and type abstraction] for more details.

When exploring compile-time regressions after meddling with the Simplifier, I
discovered that GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types.trvVarInfo was very delicately
balanced. It's a small, heavily used, overloaded function and it's important
that it inlines. By a fluke it was before, but at various times in my journey it
stopped doing so. So I just added an INLINE pragma to it; no sense in depending
on a delicately-balanced fluke.

This MR started as: allow the simplifer to do more in one pass,
arising from places I could see the simplifier taking two iterations
where one would do. But it turned into a larger project, because
these changes unexpectedly made inlining blow up, especially join
points in deeply-nested cases.
The main changes are below. There are also many new or rewritten Notes.
Avoiding simplifying repeatedly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See Note [Avoiding simplifying repeatedly]
* The SimplEnv now has a seInlineDepth field, which says how deep
in unfoldings we are. See Note [Inline depth] in Simplify.Env.
Currently used only for the next point: avoiding repeatedly
simplifying coercions.
* Avoid repeatedly simplifying coercions.
see Note [Avoid re-simplifying coercions] in Simplify.Iteration
As you'll see from the Note, this makes use of the seInlineDepth.
* Allow Simplify.Iteration.simplAuxBind to inline used-once things.
This is another part of Note [Post-inline for single-use things], and
is really good for reducing simplifier iterations in situations like
case K e of { K x -> blah }
wher x is used once in blah.
* Make GHC.Core.SimpleOpt.exprIsConApp_maybe do some simple case
elimination. Note [Case elim in exprIsConApp_maybe]
postInlineUnconditionally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Allow Simplify.Utils.postInlineUnconditionally to inline variables
that are used exactly once. See Note [Post-inline for single-use things].
* Do not postInlineUnconditionally join point, ever.
Doing so does not reduce allocation, which is the main point,
and with join points that are used a lot it can bloat code.
See point (1) of Note [Duplicating join points] in
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.
* Do not postInlineUnconditionally a strict (demanded) binding.
It will not allocate a thunk (it'll turn into a case instead)
so again the main point of inlining it doesn't hold. Better
to check per-call-site.
* Improve occurrence analyis for bottoming function calls, to help
postInlineUnconditionally. See Note [Bottoming function calls]
in GHC.Core.Opt.OccurAnal
Inlining generally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* In GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.interestingCallContext,
use RhsCtxt NonRecursive (not BoringCtxt) for a plain-seq case.
See Note [Seq is boring]
* In GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.interestingArg,
- return ValueArg for OtherCon [c1,c2, ...], but
- return NonTrivArg for OtherCon []
This makes a function a little less likely to inline if all we
know is that the argument is evaluated, but nothing else.
* isConLikeUnfolding is no longer true for OtherCon {}.
This propagates to exprIsConLike. Con-like-ness has /positive/
information.
Join points
~~~~~~~~~~~
* Be very careful about inlining join points.
See these two long Notes
Note [Duplicating join points] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration
Note [Inlining join points] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Inline
* When making join points, don't do so if the join point is so small
it will immediately be inlined; check uncondInlineJoin.
* In GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Inline.tryUnfolding, improve the inlining
heuristics for join points. In general we /do not/ want to inline
join points /even if they are small/. See Note [Duplicating join points]
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.
But sometimes we do: see Note [Inlining join points] in
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Inline.
* Do not add an unfolding to a join point at birth. This is a tricky one
and has a long Note [Do not add unfoldings to join points at birth]
It shows up in two places
- In `mkDupableAlt` do not add an inlining
- (trickier) In `simplLetUnfolding` don't add an unfolding for a
fresh join point
I am not fully satisifed with this, but it works and is well documented.
* In GHC.Core.Unfold.sizeExpr, make jumps small, so that we don't penalise
having a non-inlined join point.
