Unlike most other data constructors, data constructors declared with `type data` are represented in `TyThing`s as `ATyCon` rather than `ADataCon`. The `ATyCon` case in `tyThingParent_maybe` previously did not consider the possibility of the underlying `TyCon` being a promoted data constructor, which led to the oddities observed in #22817. This patch adds a dedicated special case in `tyThingParent_maybe`'s `ATyCon` case for `type data` data constructors to fix these oddities. Fixes #22817.

We use keepCAFsForGHCi.c to force -fkeep-cafs behaviour by using a __attribute__((constructor)) function. This broke for static builds where the linker discarded the object file since it was not reverenced from any exported code. We fix this by asserting that the flag is enabled using a function in the same module as the constructor. Which causes the object file to be retained by the linker, which in turn causes the constructor the be run in static builds. This changes nothing for dynamic builds using the ghc library. But causes static to also retain CAFs (as we expect them to). Fixes #22417. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T21839r -------------------------

Previously we tried to lower the alignment requirement as far as possible, based on the section kind inferred from the CLabel. For info tables, .p2align 1 was applied given the GC should only need the lowest bit to tag forwarding pointers. But this would lead to unaligned loads/stores, which has a performance penalty even if the wasm spec permits it. Furthermore, the test suite has shown memory corruption in a few cases when compacting gc is used. This patch takes a more conservative approach: all data sections except C strings align to word size.

Asm-shortcutting may produce relative references to symbols defined in other compilation units. This is not something that MachO relocations support (see #21972). For this reason we disable the optimisation on Darwin. We do so without a warning since this flag is enabled by `-O2`. Another way to address this issue would be to rather implement a PLT-relocatable jump-table strategy. However, this would only benefit Darwin and does not seem worth the effort. Closes #21972.

Properly handle ForeignHints of ccall arguments/return value, insert sign extends and truncations when handling signed subwords. Fixes #22852.

The CmmBlock datacon was not handled in lower_CmmLit, since I thought it would have been eliminated after proc-point splitting. Turns out it still occurs in very rare occasions, and this patch is needed to fix T9329 for wasm.
-
This patch fixes the W8/W16 literal narrowing logic in the wasm NCG, which used to lower it to something like i32.const -1, without properly zeroing-out the unused higher bits. Fixes #22608.

Previously we were just throwing away the contents of the library-dirs fields but really we have to do the same thing as for include-dirs, relativise the paths into the current working directory and maintain any extra libraries the user has specified. Now the relevant section of the rts.conf file looks like: ``` library-dirs: ${pkgroot}/../rts/build ${pkgroot}/../../..//_build/stage1/rts/build /nix/store/av4c0fib4rkmb6sa1074z0rb1ciria5b-gperftools-2.10/lib /nix/store/2infxahfp9lj084xn3q9ib5ajks8447i-libffi-3.4.4/lib library-dirs-static: ${pkgroot}/../rts/build ${pkgroot}/../../..//_build/stage1/rts/build /nix/store/av4c0fib4rkmb6sa1074z0rb1ciria5b-gperftools-2.10/lib /nix/store/2infxahfp9lj084xn3q9ib5ajks8447i-libffi-3.4.4/lib dynamic-library-dirs: ${pkgroot}/../rts/build ${pkgroot}/../../..//_build/stage1/rts/build /nix/store/av4c0fib4rkmb6sa1074z0rb1ciria5b-gperftools-2.10/lib /nix/store/2infxahfp9lj084xn3q9ib5ajks8447i-libffi-3.4.4/lib ``` Fixes #22209 -
I removed all occurrences of TcRnUnknownMessage in GHC.Rename.Bind module. Instead, these TcRnMessage messages were introduced: TcRnMultipleFixityDecls TcRnIllegalPatternSynonymDecl TcRnIllegalClassBiding TcRnOrphanCompletePragma TcRnEmptyCase TcRnNonStdGuards TcRnDuplicateSigDecl TcRnMisplacedSigDecl TcRnUnexpectedDefaultSig TcRnBindInBootFile TcRnDuplicateMinimalSig

Previously, when using `capi` calling convention in foreign declarations, code generator failed to handle const-cualified pointer return types. This resulted in CC toolchain throwing `-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers` warning. `Foreign.C.Types.ConstPtr` newtype was introduced to handle these cases - special treatment was put in place to generate appropritetly qualified C wrapper that no longer triggers the above mentioned warning. Fixes #22043.

This reverts commit 99aca26b.
-
These are no longer necessary since we now compile as C99.
-
"tracingAddCapabilities" was mis-named
-
Make the RTS compilable with a C++ compiler by inserting necessary casts.
-
-
Previously it was sensitive to the labels of threads which it did not create (e.g. the IO manager event loop threads). Fix this.
-
Previously UnliftedTVar2 would fail when run with multiple capabilities (and possibly even with one capability) as it would assume that `killThread#` would immediately kill the "increment" thread. Also, refactor the the executable to now succeed with no output and fails with an exit code.
-
`doneWithMsgThrowTo` was previously too strict in asserting that the `Message` is locked. Specifically, it failed to consider that the `Message` may not be locked if we are deleting all threads during RTS shutdown.
-
Incredibly, we previously did not have a single way which would test the threaded RTS with multiple capabilities and the sanity-checker enabled.
-
This makes it possible to review changes with conventional diffing tools.

This accepts the orphan type family instance type instance DsForeignHook = ... in GHC.HsToCore.Types. See Note [The Decoupling Abstract Data Hack] in GHC.Driver.Hooks
-
This moves Anno instances for PatBuilder from GHC.Parser.PostProcess to GHC.Parser.Types to avoid orphans.
-
This patch removes some orphan instances in the STG namespace by introducing the GHC.Stg.Lift.Types module, which allows various type family instances to be moved to GHC.Stg.Syntax, avoiding orphan instances.
-
This fixes the fact that we were not reporting orphan family instances at all. The fix here is easy, but touches a bit of code. I refactored the code to be much more similar to the way that class instances are done: - Add a fi_orphan field to FamInst, like the is_orphan field in ClsInst - Make newFamInst initialise this field, just like newClsInst - And make newFamInst report a warning for an orphan, just like newClsInst - I moved newFamInst from GHC.Tc.Instance.Family to GHC.Tc.Utils.Instantiate, just like newClsInst. - I added mkLocalFamInst to FamInstEnv, just like mkLocalClsInst in InstEnv - TcRnOrphanInstance and SuggestFixOrphanInstance are now parametrised over class instances vs type/data family instances. Fixes #19773 -
We were treating a type-family instance as a non-orphan if there was a type constructor on its /right-hand side/ that was local. Boo! Utterly wrong. With this patch, we correctly check the /left-hand side/ instead! Fixes #22717

Fixes CI errors of the form. ``` ===> Command failed with error code: 1 ghc: panic!

The module now lacks a dependency on GHC.Num.BigNat which it implicitly depends on. It is causing all CI jobs to fail so we revert without haste whilst the patch can be fixed. Fixes #22848 -
Problem: in 02279a9c the type-level [] syntax was changed from a built-in name to an alias for the GHC.Types.List constructor. badOrigBinding assumes that if a name is not built-in then it must have come from TH quotation, but this is not necessarily the case with []. The outdated assumption in badOrigBinding leads to incorrect error messages. This code: data [] Fails with "Cannot redefine a Name retrieved by a Template Haskell quote: []" Unfortunately, there is not enough information in RdrName to directly determine if the name was constructed via TH or by the parser, so this patch changes the error message instead. It unifies TcRnIllegalBindingOfBuiltIn and TcRnNameByTemplateHaskellQuote into a new error TcRnBindingOfExistingName and changes its wording to avoid guessing the origin of the name.
