StgRhsClosure freevar and argument name duplicates

I think top level names should be unique in occ-names; because those occ-names generate the symbols in the binary.

My plan is to extend GHC's STG linter to check the following properties:

  *   uniqueness of free var and arg list of StgRhsClosure
  *   top level binding name uniqueness
I'll patch my local GHC 8.2.2 and GHC HEAD. I'll also attach the patch to the ticket.
I have a question regarding top level names.
Should the top-level names be unique as occ names or just in unique values?
If not, then what is the rule?

Thanks,
Csaba

Does this happen in HEAD with GHC’s own STG printer?  If so, could you file a Trac ticket – it’s clearly wrong.

But I do wonder if it could perhaps be something to do with your branch?

Thanks

Correction!
The problem happens in integer-gmp:

The STG (GHC 8.2.2) generated from divModInteger :: Integer -> Integer -> (# Integer, Integer #) contains duplications in a closure binder list.

Using my custom STG printer it looks like:
module GHC.Integer.Type where

Subject: Re: StgRhsClosure freevar and argument name duplicates

Is it possible that GHC generates STG with invalid binding semantics for certain cases that the Cmm codegen fix or ignore?
This could explain my observations.
I've checked the Stg linter source (StgLint.hs ; GHC 8.2.2 and github master) and it does not check StgRhsClosure free var and binder list at all.
And the scope checker function (addInScopeVars) does not check for duplicates.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Csaba
