ghc-utils

There are utilities that I find useful while working on GHC. It's quite a mixed bag; a few are for performance analysis, some for general development, and others for release management. Some are useful; all are hacky.

Day-to-day maintenance

  • land: A script which I use to merge and clean up Phabricator differential revisions (e.g. ghc-utils/land D1234)
  • push: A script which I use to look over and push upstream my local branches
  • review-submodules: A script for reviewing and optionally reverting submodule changes in a commit

Development tools

  • make-ghc-tags.sh: A script for generating emacs TAGS files for a GHC tree (e.g. ghc-utils/make-ghc-tags.sh)
  • debug-ghc: A script for running an in-place installation of GHC (e.g. inplace/bin/ghc-stage2) in gdb
  • validate-all: A script for validating a range of GHC commits.

Understanding performance

  • split-core2core.py: An extremely useful script for splitting up the output of GHC's -dverbose-core2core dump option, placing the output of each pass in a separate file (e.g. ghc-utils/split-core2core.py my-program.verbose-core2core)
  • compare-ticks/: A hack for comparing reports from GHC's ticky-ticky profiler.

Release engineering

  • rel-eng:
    • source-release.sh: The script that I use to build source distribution tarballs.
    • bin-release.sh: The script that I use to build binary distributions.
    • upload.sh: The script that I use to collect, hash, sign, and upload documentation and distribution tarballs.
    • mkchroot-debian.sh: A script for preparing clean Debian container environments for GHC building with systemd-nspawn.
    • download
      • process.py: The script that I use to generate GHC download pages
    • update-autoconf.sh: Update the autoconf sources in the GHC source tree
  • library-versions: A set of scripts used to generate the Commentary/Libraries/VersionHistory page on the GHC Wiki. See library-versions/README.mkd.
