GitLab

This patch only attempts to fix links that don't automatically re-direct to the correct URL.

This moves all URL references to Trac Wiki to their corresponding
GitLab counterparts.

This substitution is classified as follows:

1. Automated substitution using sed with Ben's mapping rule [1]
    Old: ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/XxxYyy...
    New: gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/xxx-yyy...

2. Manual substitution for URLs containing `#` index
    Old: ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/XxxYyy...#Zzz
    New: gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/xxx-yyy...#zzz

3. Manual substitution for strings starting with `Commentary`
    Old: Commentary/XxxYyy...
    New: commentary/xxx-yyy...

This function allows the user to compute the (non-transitive) size of a
heap object in words. The "closure" in the name is admittedly confusing
but we are stuck with this nomenclature at this point.

-Wredundant-record-wildcards warns when a .. pattern binds no variables.

-Wunused-record-wildcards warns when none of the variables bound by a ..
pattern are used.

These flags are enabled by `-Wall`.

Change some URLs from hackage.haskell.org/trac to ghc.haskell.org/trac

Test Plan: manually verify links work

GHC Trac Issues: #15733

Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D5257

PR: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/pull/184

* All the tests in tests/ghci.debugger now pass with
  -fexternal-interpreter. These tests are now run with the ghci-ext way
  in addition to the normal way so we won't break it in the future.

* I removed all the unsafeCoerce# calls from RtClosureInspect. Yay!

The main changes are:

* New messages: GetClosure and Seq.  GetClosure is a remote interface to
  GHC.Exts.Heap.getClosureData, which required Binary instances for
  various datatypes. Fortunately this wasn't too painful thanks to
  DeriveGeneric.

* No cheating by unsafeCoercing values when printing them. Now we have
  to turn the Closure representation back into the native representation
  when printing Int, Float, Double, Integer and Char. Of these, Integer
  was the most painful - we now have a dependency on integer-gmp due to
  needing access to the representation.

* Fixed a bug in rts/Heap.c - it was bogusly returning stack content as
  pointers for an AP_STACK closure.

Test Plan:
* `cd testsuite/tests/ghci.debugger && make`
* validate

GHC Trac Issues: #13184

Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4955

`ghc -M` currently doesn't properly account for ways when generating
dependencies (#15197). This import ensures correct build-ordering between this
module and GHC.Exts.Heap.InfoTableProf. Otherwise the profiled build may fail as
described in #15197.

This pulls parts of Joachim Breitner's ghc-heap-view library inside GHC.
The bits added are the C hooks into the RTS and a basic Haskell wrapper
to these C hooks. The main reason for these to be added to GHC proper
is that the code needs to be kept in sync with the closure types
defined by the RTS. It is expected that the version of HeapView shipped
with GHC will always work with that version of GHC and that extra
functionality can be layered on top with a library like ghc-heap-view
distributed via Hackage.

Test Plan: validate
