- Remove redundant casting in evacuate_static_object
- Remove redundant parens in STATIC_LINK
- Fix a typo in GC.c

There is a hint added to error messages reported in checkPattern.
Instead of passing it manually, we put it in a ReaderT environment inside PV.

Previously we defined   type PV = P,
this had the downside that if we wanted to change PV,
we would have to modify P as well.

Now PV is free to evolve independently from P.

The common operations addError, addFatalError, getBit, addAnnsAt,
were abstracted into a class called MonadP.

rlim_t is a signed type on FreeBSD, and the build fails with a
sign-compare error.  Add explicit (unsigned) cast to handle this
case.

EWildPat is a constructor of HsExpr used in the parser to represent
wildcards in ambiguous positions:

* in expression context, EWildPat is turned into hsHoleExpr (see rnExpr)
* in pattern context, EWildPat is turned into WildPat (see checkPattern)

Since EWildPat exists solely for the needs of the parser, we could
remove it by improving the parser.

However, EWildPat has also been used for a different purpose since
8a506104: to represent patterns that the coverage checker cannot handle.
Not only this is a misuse of EWildPat, it also stymies the removal of
EWildPat.

4 haddock tests assume that .haddock files have been produced, by using the
'req_haddock' modifier. The testsuite driver assumes that this condition is
satisfied if 'config.haddock' is non-empty, but before this patch Hadrian was
always passing the path to where the haddock executable should be, regardless
of whether it is actually there or not.

Instead, we now pass an empty config.haddock when we can't find all of
<build root>/docs/html/libraries/<pkg>/<pkg>.haddock>, where <pkg> ranges over
array, base, ghc-prim, process and template-haskell, and pass the path
to haddock when all those file exists. This has the (desired) effect of skipping
the 4 tests (marked as 'missing library') when the docs haven't been built,
and running the haddock tests when they have.

Fixes #16569

[skip ci] correct the docs for casArray a little more. clarify that the returned element may be two different things

Due to #15934.

Due to allowed failure of Windows job.

Previously the failure was quite nondescript.

Rather than massaging the output of the parser to re-arrange docs and
bangs, it is simpler to patch the two places in which the strictness
info is needed (to accept that the `HsBangTy` may be inside an
`HsDocTy`).

Fixes #16585.

Before this change, we used a roundabout encoding:

1. a GADT (ExpCmdG)
2. a class to pass it around (ExpCmdI)
3. helpers to match on it (ecHsApp, ecHsIf, ecHsCase, ...)

It is more straightforward to turn these helpers into class methods,
removing the need for a GADT.

Makes the width of STG dumps slightly saner.
Especially for things like unboxing.

Fixes #16580

Previously we would generate a local variable pointing after the array
header and use it to initialize the array elements. But we already use
stores with offset, so it's easy to just add the header to those offsets
during compilation and avoid generating the local variable (which would
become a LEA instruction when using native codegen; LLVM already
optimizes it away).

Now that `TExp` accepts unlifted types, #16384 is fixed. Since the real
issue there was GHC letting through an ill-kinded type which
`-dcore-lint` rightly rejected, a reasonable regression test is that
the program from #16384 can now be accepted without `-dcore-lint`
complaining.

Besides the obvious benefits of being able to manipulate `TExp`'s of
unboxed types, this also simplified `-XDeriveLift` all while making
it more capable.

  * `ghc-prim` is explicitly depended upon by `template-haskell`

  * The following TH things are parametrized over `RuntimeRep`:

      - `TExp(..)`
      - `unTypeQ`
      - `unsafeTExpCoerce`
      - `Lift(..)`

  * The following instances have been added to `Lift`:

      - `Int#`, `Word#`, `Float#`, `Double#`, `Char#`, `Addr#`
      - unboxed tuples of lifted types up to arity 7
      - unboxed sums of lifted types up to arity 7

    Ideally we would have levity-polymorphic _instances_ of unboxed
    tuples and sums.

  * The code generated by `-XDeriveLift` uses expression quotes
    instead of generating large amounts of TH code and having
    special hard-coded cases for some unboxed types.

We used to pass YES/NO, while that particular field is set to True/False. This
happens to fix an unexpected pass, T9208.

When printf debugging this can be helpful.

E.g. use `\(\mathcal{O}(n^2)\)` instead of `/O(n^2)/`.

This is a temporary workaround for #16534. We generate wrapper scripts
<build-root>/ghc-stage1 and <build-root>/ghc-stage2 that can be used to
run Stage1 and Stage2 GHCs with the right arguments.

See ghc/ghc#16534.

Closes #16062. When -dynamic-too is specified, reflect that in the
progress message, like:

$ ghc Main.hs -dynamic-too
[1 of 1] Compiling Lib              ( Main.hs, Main.o, Main.dyn_o )

instead of:

$ ghc Main.hs -dynamic-too
[1 of 1] Compiling Lib              ( Main.hs, Main.o )

When a new closure identifier is being established to a
local or exported closure already emitted into the same
module, refrain from adding an IND_STATIC closure, and
instead emit an assembly-language alias.

Inter-module IND_STATIC objects still remain, and need to be
addressed by other measures.

Binary-size savings on nofib are around 0.1%.

Document the ':set local-config' command and add a warning about
sourcing untrusted local .ghci scripts.

Add the ':set local-config { source | ignore }' setting to control
whether .ghci file in current directory will be sourced or not.  The
directive can be set in global config or $HOME/.ghci, which are
processed before local .ghci files.

The default is "source", preserving current behaviour.

Update users guide to match the new startup script order.  Also
clarify that -ignore-dot-ghci does not apply to scripts specified
via the -ghci-script option.
