AArch64: Simplify stmtToInstrs type

There's no need to hand `Nothing`s around... (there was no case with a
`BlockId`.)

AArch64: Simplify stmtsToInstrs type

The `BlockId` parameter (`bid`) is never used, only handed around.
Deleting it simplifies the surrounding code.

Fix eta-expansion in Prep

As #25033 showed, we were eta-expanding in a way that broke a join point,
which messed up Note [CorePrep invariants].

The fix is rather easy.  See Wrinkle (EA1) of
Note [Eta expansion of arguments in CorePrep]

ci: Unset ALEX/HAPPY variables when testing bootstrap jobs

Ticket #24826 reports a regression in 9.10.1 when building from a source
distribution. This patch is an attempt to reproduce the issue on CI by
more aggressively removing `alex` and `happy` from the environment.

hadrian: Ignore build-tool-depends fields in cabal files

hadrian does not utilise the build-tool-depends fields in cabal files
and their presence can cause issues when building source distribution
(see #24826)

Ideally Cabal would support building "full" source distributions which
would remove the need for workarounds in hadrian but for now we can
patch the build-tool-depends out of the cabal files.

Fixes #24826

testsuite: Don't attempt to link when checking whether a way is supported

It is sufficient to check that the simple test file compiles as it will
fail if there are not the relevant library files for the requested way.

If you break a way so badly that even a simple executable fails to link
(as I did for profiled dynamic way), it will just mean the tests for
that way are skipped on CI rather than displayed.

Add support for building profiled dynamic way

The main payload of this change is to hadrian.

* Default settings will produced dynamic profiled objects
* `-fexternal-interpreter` is turned on in some situations when there is
  an incompatibility between host GHC and the way attempting to be
  built.
* Very few changes actually needed to GHC

There are also necessary changes to the bootstrap plans to work with the
vendored Cabal dependency. These changes should ideally be reverted by
the next GHC release.

In hadrian support is added for building profiled dynamic libraries
(nothing too exciting to see there)

Updates hadrian to use a vendored Cabal submodule, it is important that
we replace this usage with a released version of Cabal library before
the 9.12 release.

Fixes #21594

ncg(aarch64): Add fsqrt instruction, byteSwap primitives [#24956]

Implements the FSQRT machop using native assembly rather than a C call.

Implements MO_BSwap by producing assembly to do the byte swapping
instead of producing a foreign call a C function.

In `tar`, the hot loop for `deserialise` got almost 4x faster by
avoiding the foreign call which caused spilling live variables to the
stack -- this means the loop did 4x more memory read/writing than
necessary in that particular case!

Linker: use m32 allocator for sections when NEED_PLT (#24432)

Make type-equality on synonyms a bit faster

This MR make equality fast for (S tys1 `eqType` S tys2),
where S is a non-forgetful type synonym.

It doesn't affect compile-time allocation much, but then comparison doesn't
allocate anyway.  But it seems like a Good Thing anyway.

and Note [Forgetful type synonyms] in GHC.Core.TyCon

EPA: Bring back SrcSpan in EpaDelta

When processing files in ghc-exactprint, the usual workflow is to
first normalise it with makeDeltaAst, and then operate on it.

But we need the original locations to operate on it, in terms of
finding things.

So restore the original SrcSpan for reference in EpaDelta

testsuite: workaround bug in python-3.12

There is some unexplained change to binding behaviour in python-3.12
which requires moving this import from the top-level into the scope of
the function.

I didn't feel any particular desire to do a deep investigation as to why
this changed as the code works when modified like this. No one in the
python IRC channel seemed to know what the problem was.

haddock: Only fetch supported languages and extensions once per Interface list

This reduces the number of operations done on each Interface, because
supported languages and extensions are determined from architecture and
operating system of the build host. This information remains stable
across Interfaces, and as such doesn not need to be recovered for each
Interface.

isIrrefutableHsPat: consider COMPLETE pragmas

This patch ensures we taken into account COMPLETE pragmas when we
compute whether a pattern is irrefutable. In particular, if a pattern
synonym is the sole member of a COMPLETE pragma (without a result TyCon),
then we consider a pattern match on that pattern synonym to be irrefutable.

This affects the desugaring of do blocks, as it ensures we don't use
a "fail" operation.

testsuite: Delay querying ghc-pkg to find .so dirs until test is run

The tests which relied on find_so would fail when `test` was run
before the tree was built. This was because `find_so` was evaluated too
eagerly.

We can fix this by waiting to query the location of the libraries until
after the compiler has built them.

Fix nasty bug in occurrence analyser

As #25096 showed, the occurrence analyser was getting one-shot info
flat out wrong.

This commit does two things:

* It fixes the bug and actually makes the code a bit tidier too.
  The work is done in the new function
     GHC.Core.Opt.OccurAnal.mkRhsOccEnv,
  especially the bit that prepares the `occ_one_shots` for the RHS.

  See Note [The OccEnv for a right hand side]

* When floating out a binding we must be conservative about one-shot
  info.  But we were zapping the entire demand info, whereas we only
  really need zap the /top level/ cardinality.

  See Note [Floatifying demand info when floating]
  in GHC.Core.Opt.SetLevels

For some reason there is a 2.2% improvement in compile-time allocation
for CoOpt_Read.  Otherwise nickels and dimes.

Metric Decrease:

Only lookup ghcversion.h file in the RTS include-dirs by default.

The code was introduced in 3549c952b535803270872adaf87262f2df0295a4.
It used `getPackageIncludePath` which name doesn't convey that it looks
into all include paths of the preload units too. So this behavior is
probably unintentional and it should be ok to change it.

Type syntax in expressions (#24159, #24572, #24226)

This patch extends the grammar of expressions with syntax that is
typically found only in types:
  * function types (a -> b), (a ->. b), (a %m -> b)
  * constrained types (ctx => t)
  * forall-quantification (forall tvs. t)

The new forms are guarded behind the RequiredTypeArguments extension,
as specified in GHC Proposal #281. Examples:

  {-# LANGUAGE RequiredTypeArguments #-}
  e1 = f (Int    -> String)          -- function type
  e2 = f (Int %1 -> String)          -- linear function type
  e3 = f (forall a. Bounded a => a)  -- forall type, constraint

The GHC AST and the TH AST have been extended as follows:

   syntax        | HsExpr   | TH.Exp
  ---------------+----------+--------------
   a -> b        | HsFunArr | ConE (->)
   a %m -> b     | HsFunArr | ConE FUN
   ctx => t      | HsQual   | ConstrainedE
   forall a. t   | HsForAll | ForallE
   forall a -> t | HsForAll | ForallVisE

Additionally, a new warning flag -Wview-pattern-signatures has been
introduced to aid with migration to the new precedence of (e -> p :: t).

Implement MultilineStrings (#24390)

This commit adds support for multiline strings, proposed at
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/569.
Multiline strings can now be written as:

    myString =
      """
      this is a
      multiline string
      """

The multiline string will have leading indentation stripped away.
Full details of this post-processing may be found at the new
GHC.Parser.String module.

In order to cleanly implement this and maximize reusability, I
broke out the lexing logic for strings out of Lexer.x into a
new GHC.Parser.String module, which lexes strings with any
provided "get next character" function. This also gave us the
opportunity to clean up this logic, and even optimize it a bit.
With this change, parsing string literals now takes 25% less
time and 25% less space.

hi: Deterministic ImportedMods in Usages

The `mi_usages` field of the interface files must use a deterministic
list of `Usage`s to guarantee a deterministic interface. However, this
list was, in its origins, constructed from a `ModuleEnv` which uses a
non-deterministic ordering that was leaking into the interface.

Specifically, ImportedMods = ModuleEnv ... would get converted to a list and
then passed to `mkUsageInfo` to construct the Usages.

The solution is simple. Back `ImportedMods` with a deterministic map.
`Map Module ...` is enough, since the Ord instance for `Module` already
uses a stable, deterministic, comparison.

testsuite: extend size performance tests with gzip (fixes #25046)

The main purpose is to create tests for minimal app (hello world and its variations, i.e. unicode used) distribution size metric.

Many platforms support distribution in compressed form via gzip. It would be nice to collect information on how much size is taken by the executional bundle for each platform at minimal edge case.

2 groups of tests are added:
1. We extend javascript backend size tests with gzip-enabled versions for all cases where an optimizing compiler is used (for now it is google closure compiler).
2. We add trivial hello world tests with gzip-enabled versions for all other platforms at CI pipeline where no external optimizing compiler is used.

Cmm: don't perform unsound optimizations on 32-bit compiler hosts

- beef61351b240967b49169d27a9a19565cf3c4af enabled the use of
  MO_Add/MO_Sub for 64-bit operations in the C and LLVM backends
- 6755d833af8c21bbad6585144b10e20ac4a0a1ab did the same for the x86 NCG
  backend

However we store some literal values as `Int` in the compiler. As a
result, some Cmm optimizations transformed target 64-bit literals into
compiler `Int`. If the compiler is 32-bit, this leads to computing with
wrong literals (see #24893 and #24700).

This patch disables these Cmm optimizations for 32-bit compilers. This
is unsatisfying (optimizations shouldn't be compiler-word-size
dependent) but it fixes the bug and it makes the patch easy to backport.
A proper fix would be much more invasive but it shall be implemented in
the future.

haddock: Build haddock-api and haddock-library using hadrian

We build these two packages as regular boot library dependencies rather
than using the `in-ghc-tree` flag to include the source files into the haddock
executable.

The `in-ghc-tree` flag is moved into haddock-api to ensure that haddock built
from hackage can still find the location of the GHC bindist using `ghc-paths`.

Addresses #24834

This causes a metric decrease under non-release flavours because under these
flavours libraries are compiled with optimisation but executables are not.

Since we move the bulk of the code from the haddock executable to the
haddock-api library, we see a metric decrease on the validate flavours.

isIrrefutableHsPat: look up ConLikes in the HscEnv

At GhcRn stage, in isIrrefutableHsPat we only looked up data constructors
in the RdrEnv, which meant that we lacked fallibility information for
out-of-scope constructors (which can arise from Template Haskell splices).

Instead, we use 'lookupGREInfo', which looks up the information in
the type environment. This was the correct function to call all along,
but was not used in 572fbc44 due to import cycle reasons. The appropriate
functions, 'irrefutableConLike{Rn,Tc}' have been moved to 'GHC.Rename.Env',
which avoids import cycles.

- Rename nameOfObject_maybe into linkablePartPath
- Rename byteCodeOfObject into linkablePartAllBCOs.
- Refactor linkablePartAllBCOs to avoid a panic if a LazyBCO has a C
  stub. Document the fact that LazyBCOs are returned in this case
  (contrary to linkableBCOs which only returns non-lazy ones)

Implements the Exportable Named Default proposal (#24305)

This squashed commit adds support for exportable named defaults, the accepted
GHC proposal at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/409

The proposal extends the Haskell '98 declarations

    default (Int, Double)

which were implicitly always applying to Num class alone, to allow specifying
an arbitrary single-parameter class:

    default IsString (Text, String)

The effect of this declaration would be to eliminate the ambiguous type errors
around string literals when OverloadedStrings extension is active. The
declaration by itself has effect only in its module, so the proposal also adds
the ability to export class defaults:

    module MyModule (default IsIstring)

Once the language extension is published and established, we can consider using
it in base and other libraries.

See Note [Named default declarations] in GHC.Tc.Gen.Default
for implementation details.

Make kick-out more selective

This MR revised the crucial kick-out criteria in the constraint solver.

Ticket #24984 showed an example in which
 * We were kicking out unnecessarily
 * That gave rise to extra work, of course
 * But it /also/ led to exponentially-sized coercions due to lack
   of sharing in coercions (something we want to fix separately #20264)

This MR sharpens up the kick-out criteria; specifially in (KK2) we look
only under type family applications if (fs>=fw).

This forced me to understand the existing kick-out story, and I ended
up rewriting many of the careful Notes in GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet.
Especially look at the new `Note [The KickOut Criteria]`

The proof of termination is not air-tight, but it is better than before,
and both Richard and I think it's correct :-).

compiler: Store ForeignStubs and foreign C files in interfaces

This data is used alongside Core bindings to reconstruct intermediate
build products when linking Template Haskell splices with bytecode.

Since foreign stubs and files are generated in the pipeline, they were
lost with only Core bindings stored in interfaces.

The interface codec type `IfaceForeign` contains a simplified
representation of `ForeignStubs` and the set of foreign sources that
were manually added by the user.

When the backend phase writes an interface, `mkFullIface` calls
`encodeIfaceForeign` to read foreign source file contents and assemble
`IfaceForeign`.

After the recompilation status check of an upstream module,
`initWholeCoreBindings` calls `decodeIfaceForeign` to restore
`ForeignStubs` and write the contents of foreign sources to the file
system as temporary files.
The restored foreign inputs are then processed by `hscInteractive` in
the same manner as in a regular pipeline.

When linking the stub objects for splices, they are excluded from suffix
adjustment for the interpreter way through a new flag in `Unlinked`.

For details about these processes, please consult Note [Foreign stubs
and TH bytecode linking].

Fix aarch64-alpine target platform description

We are producing bindists where the target triple is

aarch64-alpine-linux

when it should be

aarch64-unknown-linux

This is because the bootstrapped compiler originally set the target
triple to `aarch64-alpine-linux` which is when propagated forwards by
setting `bootstrap_target` from the bootstrap compiler target.

In order to break this chain we explicitly specify build/host/target for
aarch64-alpine.

This requires a new configure flag `--enable-ignore-` which just
switches off a validation check that the target platform of the
bootstrap compiler is the same as the build platform. It is the same,
but the name is just wrong.

These commits can be removed when the bootstrap compiler has the correct
target triple (I looked into patching this on ci-images, but it looked
hard to do correctly as the build/host platform is not in the settings
file).

Only export defaults when NamedDefaults are enabled (#25206)

This is a reinterpretation of GHC Proposal #409 that avoids a breaking
change introduced in fa0dbaca6c "Implements the Exportable Named Default proposal"

Consider a module M that has no explicit export list:

	module M where
	default (Rational)

Should it export the default (Rational)?

The proposal says "yes", and there's a test case for that:

	default/DefaultImport04.hs

However, as it turns out, this change in behavior breaks existing
programs, e.g. the colour-2.3.6 package can no longer be compiled,
as reported in #25206.

In this patch, we make implicit exports of defaults conditional on
the NamedDefaults extension. This fix is unintrusive and compliant
with the existing proposal text (i.e. it does not require a proposal
amendment). Should the proposal be amended, we can go for a simpler
solution, such as requiring all defaults to be exported explicitly.

Test case: testsuite/tests/default/T25206.hs

Build foreign objects for TH with interpreter's way when loading from iface

When linking bytecode for TH from interface core bindings with

RecordCon lookup: don't allow a TyCon

This commit adds extra logic when looking up a record constructor.
If GHC.Rename.Env.lookupOccRnConstr returns a TyCon (as it may, due to
the logic explained in Note [Pattern to type (P2T) conversion]),
we emit an error saying that the data constructor is not in scope.

This avoids the compiler falling over shortly thereafter, in the call to
'lookupConstructorInfo' inside 'GHC.Rename.Env.lookupRecFieldOcc',
because the record constructor would not have been a ConLike.

Use deterministic names for temporary files

When there are multiple threads they can race to create a temporary
file, in some situations the thread will create ghc_1.c and in some it
will create ghc_2.c. This filename ends up in the debug info for object
files after compiling a C file, therefore contributes to object
nondeterminism.

In order to fix this we store a prefix in `TmpFs` which serves to
namespace temporary files. The prefix is populated from the counter in
TmpFs when the TmpFs is forked. Therefore the TmpFs must be forked
outside the thread which consumes it, in a deterministic order, so each
thread always receives a TmpFs with the same prefix.

This assumes that after the initial TmpFs is created, all other TmpFs
are created from forking the original TmpFs. Which should have been try
anyway as otherwise there would be file collisions and non-determinism.

Fixes #25224

Silence x-partial in Haddock.Backends.Xhtml

This is an unfortunate consequence of two mechanisms:
  * GHC provides (possibly-empty) lists of names
  * The functions that retrieve those names are not equipped to do error
    reporting, and thus accept these lists at face value. They will have
    to be attached an effect for error reporting in a later refactoring

hadrian: Support loading haddock in ghci

There is one tricky aspect with wired-in packages where the boot package
is built with `-this-unit-id ghc` but the dependency is reported as
`-package-id ghc-9.6...`. This has never been fixed in GHC as the
situation of loading wired-in packages into the multi-repl seems like
quite a niche feature that is always just easier to workaround.

Transform some StgRhsClosure into StgRhsCon after unarisation (#25166)

Before unarisation we may have code like:

  Test.foo :: Test.D
  [GblId, Unf=OtherCon []] =
      \u []
          case (# |_| #) [GHC.Types.(##)] of sat_sAw [Occ=Once1] {
          __DEFAULT -> Test.D [GHC.Types.True sat_sAw];
          };

After unarisation we get:

  Test.foo :: Test.D
  [GblId, Unf=OtherCon []] =
      {} \u [] Test.D [GHC.Types.True 2#];

Notice that it's still an Updatable closure for no reason anymore. This
patch transforms appropriate StgRhsClosures into StgRhsCons after
unarisation, allowing these closures to be statically allocated. Now we
get the expected:

  Test.foo :: Test.D
  [GblId, Unf=OtherCon []] =
      Test.D! [GHC.Types.True 2#];

Fix #25166

To avoid duplicating code, this patch refactors the mk(Top)StgRhs
functions and put them in a GHC.Stg.Make module alongside the new
mk(Top)StgRhsCon_maybe functions.

Don't introduce 'nospec' on the LHS of a RULE

This patch address #25160.  The main payload is:

* When desugaring the LHS of a RULE, do not introduce the `nospec` call
  for non-canonical evidence.  See GHC.Core.InstEnv
  Note [Coherence and specialisation: overview]

  The `nospec` call usually introdued in `dsHsWrapper`, but we don't want it
  on the LHS of a RULE (that's what caused #25160).  So now `dsHsWrapper` takes
  a flag to say if it's on the LHS of a RULE.  See wrinkle (NC1) in
  `Note [Desugaring non-canonical evidence]` in GHC.HsToCore.Binds.

But I think this flag will go away again when I have finished with my
(entirely separate) speciaise-on-values patch (#24359).

All this meant I had to re-understand the `nospec` stuff and coherence, and
that in turn made me do some refactoring, and add a lot of new documentation

The big change is that in GHC.Core.InstEnv, I changed
  the /type synonym/ `Canonical` into
  a /data type/ `CanonicalEvidence`
and documented it a lot better.

That in turn made me realise that CalLStacks were being treated with a
bit of a hack, which I documented in `Note [CallStack and ExecptionContext hack]`.

Add defaulting of equalities

This MR adds one new defaulting strategy to the top-level
defaulting story: see Note [Defaulting equalities] in GHC.Tc.Solver.

This resolves #25029 and #25125, which showed that users were
accidentally relying on a GHC bug, which was fixed by

    commit 04f5bb85c8109843b9ac2af2a3e26544d05e02f4
    Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simon.peytonjones at gmail.com>
    Date:   Wed Jun 12 17:44:59 2024 +0100

    Fix untouchability test

    This MR fixes #24938.  The underlying problem was tha the test for
    "does this implication bring in scope any equalities" was plain wrong.

This fix gave rise to a number of user complaints; but the improved
defaulting story of this MR largely resolves them.

On the way I did a bit of refactoring, of course

* Completely restructure the extremely messy top-level defaulting
  code. The new code is in GHC.Tc.Solver.tryDefaulting, and is much,
  much, much esaier to grok.

Do not use an error thunk for an absent dictionary

In worker/wrapper we were using an error thunk for an absent dictionary,
but that works very badly for -XDictsStrict, or even (as #24934 showed)
in some complicated cases involving strictness analysis and unfoldings.

This MR just uses RubbishLit for dictionaries. Simple.

No test case, sadly because our only repro case is rather complicated.

hadrian: Make sure ffi headers are built before using a compiler

When we are using ffi adjustors then we rely on `ffi.h` and
`ffitarget.h` files during code generation when compiling stubs.

Therefore we need to add this dependency to the build system (which this
patch does).

Reproducer, configure with `--enable-libffi-adjustors` and then build
"_build/stage1/libraries/ghc-prim/build/GHC/Types.p_o".

Observe that this fails before this patch and works afterwards.

Fixes #24864

base: Fix #25066

As noted in #25066, the exception backtrace proposal introduced a rather
subtle performance regression due to simplification producing Core which
the demand analyser concludes may diverge with a precise exception. The
nature of the problem is more completely described in the new Note
[Hiding precise exception signature in throw].

The (rather hacky) solution we use here hides the problematic
optimisation through judicious use of `noinline`. Ultimately however we
will want a more principled solution (e.g. #23847).
