Hello!
I've just hit a strange issue. I might missinterpret how the `SPECIALIZE`
pragma works, but if I understand correctly, then there is a bug in GHC.
Lets consider this simple code:
module `A`:
{{{
{-# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-}
module A where
import Prelude
import GHC.TypeLits
-- TF utils
type family (a :: Nat) :== (b :: Nat) where
a :== a = 'True
a :== b = 'False
type family If cond (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat) where
If 'True a b = a
If 'False a b = b
-- Heavy TF computations
-- it is just nested loop - the first Nat is the size of loop while the
second one is the number of loops
-- As a result we ALWAYS get 0.
type family HeavyTF (n :: Nat) (i :: Nat) :: Nat where HeavyTF n 0 = 0
HeavyTF n i = If
(HeavyTF' n :== 0) (HeavyTF n (i - 1)) 1
type family HeavyTF' (n :: Nat) :: Nat where HeavyTF' 0 = 0
HeavyTF' n = HeavyTF' (n - 1)
-- Params for tests (bigger numbers = longer compile times)
type family NatOf a :: Nat
type instance NatOf Int = 12000
type instance NatOf String = 12000
-- Type class to check GHC behavior
class PerfC1 a where perfc1 :: a -> String
instance CheckOk (HeavyTF 10 (NatOf a)) => PerfC1 a where perfc1 _ = "oh"
; {-# INLINABLE perfc1 #-}
class CheckOk (n :: Nat)
instance CheckOk 0
main_cache :: IO ()
main_cache = do
print $ perfc1 (1 :: Int)
print $ perfc1 ("a" :: String)
perfc1_Int :: Int -> String
perfc1_Int = perfc1
perfc1_String :: String -> String
perfc1_String = perfc1
{-# SPECIALIZE perfc1 :: Int -> String #-}
{-# SPECIALIZE perfc1 :: String -> String #-}
-----
perfc1' :: PerfC1 a => a -> String
perfc1' = perfc1
{-# INLINABLE perfc1' #-}
{-# SPECIALIZE perfc1' :: Int -> String #-}
{-# SPECIALIZE perfc1' :: String -> String #-}
}}}
module `Test1`:
{{{
import A
main = do
print $ perfc1 (1 :: Int)
print $ perfc1 ("a" :: String)
}}}
module `Test2`:
{{{
import A
main = do
print $ perfc1' (1 :: Int)
print $ perfc1' ("a" :: String)
}}}
module `Test3`:
{{{
import A
main = do
print $ perfc1_Int (1 :: Int)
print $ perfc1_String ("a" :: String)
}}}
Compile with:
`ghc 7.10.3` : `ghc -O2 -fenable-rewrite-rules Test<n>.hs`
`ghc 8.0-rc1` : `ghc -O2 -fenable-rewrite-rules -freduction-depth=0
Test<n>.hs`
(I've used `-fenable-rewrite-rules` explicitly just to be sure it is
enabled. We can omit it because `-O2` enables it)
If module `A` was already compiled the compilation times for `ghc 7.10.3`
were as follow:
- `Test1`: ~ 16s
- `Test2`: ~ 16s
- `Test3`: almost instant
And for `ghc 8.0-rc1` were as follow:
- `Test1`: ~ 28s
- `Test2`: ~ 28s
- `Test3`: almost instant
Here are 2 bugs to note:
1) the compilation times are much longer with new GHC
2) the specialize pragmas do not work
**EDIT**
There is yet another funny issue here. If I try to compile the modules
like so: `time ghc -O2 -fenable-rewrite-rules -ddump-spec B.hs` GHC prints
the following lines and hangs forever eating GBs of RAM:
{{{
[1 of 2] Compiling A ( A.hs, A.o )
==================== Specialise ====================
Result size of Specialise
= {terms: 60, types: 80, coercions: 3,048,032}
Rec {
$dShow_a20B :: Show String
[LclId,
Str=DmdType,
Unf=Unf{Src=<vanilla>, TopLvl=True, Value=True, ConLike=True,
WorkFree=True, Expandable=True,
Guidance=ALWAYS_IF(arity=0,unsat_ok=True,boring_ok=True)}]
$dShow_a20B = GHC.Show.$fShow[]_$s$fShow[]1
$dPerfC1_a1Rk :: PerfC1 Int
[LclId,
Arity=1,
Str=DmdType,
Unf=Unf{Src=<vanilla>, TopLvl=True, Value=True, ConLike=True,
WorkFree=True, Expandable=True, Guidance=IF_ARGS [] 20 60}]
}}}
