For issue #21506, we started cleaning the extended attributes of binaries and libraries from the bindist *after* they were installed to workaround notarisation (#17418), as part of `make install`. However, the `ghc-toolchain` binary that is now shipped with the bindist must be run at `./configure` time. Since we only cleaned the xattributes of the binaries and libs after they were installed, in some situations users would be unable to run `ghc-toolchain` from the bindist, failing at configure time (#24554). In this commit we move the xattr cleaning logic to the configure script. Fixes #24554

A user may configure `LDFLAGS` but not `LD`. When choosing a linker, we will prefer `ldd`, then `ld.gold`, then `ld.bfd` -- however, we have to check for a working linker. If either of these fail, we try the next in line. However, we were not considering the `$LDFLAGS` when checking if these linkers worked. So we would pick a linker that does not support the current $LDFLAGS and fail further down the line when we used that linker with those flags. Fixes #24565, where `LDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs` is not supported by `ld.gold` but that was being picked still.

This patch fixes function prototypes in ARMOutlineAtomicsSymbols.h which causes "error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type" when compiling with clang on aarch64.

When checking if a jump has more than one destination account for the possibility of some jumps not being representable by a BlockId. We do so by having isJumpishInstr return a `Maybe BlockId` where Nothing represents non-BlockId jump destinations. Fixes #24507

This hint is outdated, ``Complex Float`` are now specialised, and the heap space suggestion needs more nuance so it should be explained in the unboxed/storable array documentation.

This fixes #24553, where GHC unhelpfully said error: [GHC-83865] • Expected kind ‘* -> * -> *’, but ‘Foo’ has kind ‘* -> * -> *’ See Note [Showing invisible bits of types in error messages]

Fixes for a bug in desugaring pattern synonyms matches, introduced while working on on expanding `do`-blocks in #18324 The `matchWrapper` unecessarily (and incorrectly) filtered out the default wild patterns in a match. Now the wild pattern alternative is simply ignored by the pm check as its origin is `Generated`. The current code now matches the expected semantics according to the language spec.

On 64-bit platforms, every Word32 fits in an Int, so we can convert to Int# without having to perform the overflow check integerFromWord# uses internally.

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. Fixes #24551

There was missing case for `SplicePat` in `pat_to_type_at` function, hence patterns with splicing that checked against `forall->` doesn't work properly because they fall into the "illegal pattern" case. Code example that is now accepted: g :: forall a -> () g $([p| a |]) = ()

The documentation for Data.Complex says that the Ord instance for Complex Float is deficient, but there is no Ord instance for Complex a. The Eq instance for Complex Float is similarly deficient, so we use that as an example instead.

Type operators differ from term operators in that they are lexically classified as (type) constructors, not as (type) variables. Prior to this change, promoteOccName did not account for this difference, causing a scoping issue that affected RequiredTypeArguments. type (!@#) = Bool f = idee (!@#) -- Not in scope: ‘!@#’ (BUG) Now we have a special case in promoteOccName to account for this.

- Introduce a helper lens to compose on `EpAnn a` vs `a` versions - Rename some prime versions of functions back to non-prime They were renamed during the rework

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%.

This reverts commit c82770f5. 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. Fixes #24542 Metric decreases because the paths in the settings file are now shorter, so we allocate less when we read the settings file. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T12425 T13035 T9198 -------------------------

ghcup can apparently infer the output name of an artifact from its URL. Consequently, we should only include the `dlOutput` field when it would differ from the filename of `dlUri`. Fixes #24547.

As reported in #24546, the `dlTest` artifact should be extracted into the `testsuite` directory.

Previously we would rather compress the xz *again*, before in addition compressing it with the desired scheme. Fixes #24545.

Previously we would call `dirname` twice per installed library file. We now instead reuse this result. This helps appreciably on Windows, where processes are quite expensive.

Previously there were two instances in this script which lacked proper quoting. This resulted in `relpath` invocations in the binary distribution Makefile producing incorrect results on Windows, leading to confusing failures from `sed` and the production of empty package registrations. Fixes #24538.

- GHC.HsToCore.Foreign.JavaScript: remove dropRuntimeRepArgs; boxed tuples don't take RuntimeRep args - GHC.HsToCore.Foreign.Call: avoid partial pattern matching - GHC.Stg.Unarise: strengthen the assertion; we can assert that non-rubbish literals are unary rather than just non-void - GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType: make sure the fsLit "literal" rule fires - users_guide/using-warnings.rst: remove -Wforall-identifier, now deprecated and does nothing - users_guide/using.rst: fix formatting - andy_cherry/test.T: remove expect_broken_for(23272...), 23272 is fixed The rest are simple cleanups.

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%).

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.

Now instead of producing wrappers which pass the global package database argument to ghc and ghc-pkg, we write the location of the correct package database into the settings file so you can just use the intree compiler directly.
