These are unexploded minds as far as the linter is concerned. I don't want to hit in my MRs by mistake! I did this with `sed`, and then rolled back some changes in the docs, config.guess, and the linter itself.

The code, including the generated module with the version, is now in ghc-boot. Config.hs reexports stuff as needed, ghc-pkg doesn't need any tricks at all.

These prevent multi-target builds. They were gotten rid of in 3 ways: 1. In the compiler itself, replacing `#if` with runtime `if`. In these cases, we care about the target platform still, but the target platform is dynamic so we must delay the elimination to run time. 2. In the compiler itself, replacing `TARGET` with `HOST`. There was just one bit of this, in some code splitting strings representing lists of paths. These paths are used by GHC itself, and not by the compiled binary. (They are compiler lookup paths, rather than RPATHS or something that does matter to the compiled binary, and thus would legitamentally be target-sensative.) As such, the path-splitting method only depends on where GHC runs and not where code it produces runs. This should have been `HOST` all along. 3. Changing the RTS. The RTS doesn't care about the target platform, full stop. 4. `includes/stg/HaskellMachRegs.h` This file is also included in the genapply executable. This is tricky because the RTS's host platform really is that utility's target platform. so that utility really really isn't multi-target either. But at least it isn't an installed part of GHC, but just a one-off tool when building the RTS. Lying with the `HOST` to a one-off program (genapply) that isn't installed doesn't seem so bad. It's certainly better than the other way around of lying to the RTS though not to genapply. The RTS is more important, and it is installed, *and* this header is installed as part of the RTS.

To avoid having to `panic` any time a TTG extension constructor is consumed, this MR introduces an uninhabited 'NoExtCon' type and uses that in every extension constructor's type family instance where it is appropriate. This also introduces a 'noExtCon' function which eliminates a 'NoExtCon', much like 'Data.Void.absurd' eliminates a 'Void'. I also renamed the existing `NoExt` type to `NoExtField` to better distinguish it from `NoExtCon`. Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of code churn resulting from this. Bumps the Haddock submodule. Fixes #15247.

This commit partly reverts e69619e9 commit by reintroducing Sf_SafeInferred SafeHaskellMode. We preserve whether module was declared or inferred Safe. When declared-Safe module imports inferred-Safe, we warn. This inferred status is volatile, often enough it's a happy coincidence, something which cannot be relied upon. However, explicitly Safe or Trustworthy packages won't accidentally become Unsafe. Updates haddock submodule.

Before this patch, runghc would only run the GHC detection logic on Windows and assume that it was invoked through a wrapper script on all other platforms. This patch lifts this limitation and makes that logic work for the scenario where someone is calling the runghc executable directly, without passing an explicit path to GHC.

As discussed in #16331, the GHCI macro, defined through 'ghci' flags in ghc.cabal.in, ghc-bin.cabal.in and ghci.cabal.in, is supposed to indicate whether GHC is built with support for an internal interpreter, that runs in the same process. It is however overloaded in a few places to mean "there is an interpreter available", regardless of whether it's an internal or external interpreter. For the sake of clarity and with the hope of more easily being able to build stage 1 GHCs with external interpreter support, this patch splits the previous GHCI macro into 3 different ones: - HAVE_INTERNAL_INTERPRETER: GHC is built with an internal interpreter - HAVE_EXTERNAL_INTERPRETER: GHC is built with support for external interpreters - HAVE_INTERPRETER: HAVE_INTERNAL_INTERPRETER || HAVE_EXTERNAL_INTERPRETER

ghc-pkg and ghc already both needed this. I figure it is better to deduplicate, especially seeing that changes to one (FreeBSD CPP) didn't make it to the other. Additionally in !1090 I make ghc-pkg look up the settings file, which makes it use the top dir a bit more widely. If that lands, any difference in the way they find the top dir would be more noticable. That change also means sharing more code between ghc and ghc-package (namely the settings file parsing code), so I'd think it better to get off the slipperly slope of duplicating code now.

After the previous commit, `Settings` is just a thin wrapper around other groups of settings. While `Settings` is used by GHC-the-executable to initalize `DynFlags`, in principle another consumer of GHC-the-library could initialize `DynFlags` a different way. It therefore doesn't make sense for `DynFlags` itself (library code) to separate the settings that typically come from `Settings` from the settings that typically don't.

* Tweak the parser to allow `deriving` clauses to mention explicit `forall`s or kind signatures without gratuitous parentheses. (This fixes #14332 as a consequence.) * Allow Haddock comments on `deriving` clauses with explicit `forall`s. This requires corresponding changes in Haddock.

Associated type family default declarations behave strangely in a couple of ways: 1. If one tries to bind the type variables with an explicit `forall`, the `forall`'d part will simply be ignored. (#16110) 2. One cannot use visible kind application syntax on the left-hand sides of associated default equations, unlike every other form of type family equation. (#16356) Both of these issues have a common solution. Instead of using `LHsQTyVars` to represent the left-hand side arguments of an associated default equation, we instead use `HsTyPats`, which is what other forms of type family equations use. In particular, here are some highlights of this patch: * `FamEqn` is no longer parameterized by a `pats` type variable, as the `feqn_pats` field is now always `HsTyPats`. * The new design for `FamEqn` in chronicled in `Note [Type family instance declarations in HsSyn]`. * `TyFamDefltEqn` now becomes the same thing as `TyFamInstEqn`. This means that many of `TyFamDefltEqn`'s code paths can now reuse the code paths for `TyFamInstEqn`, resulting in substantial simplifications to various parts of the code dealing with associated type family defaults. Fixes #16110 and #16356.

This doesn't appear to be used anywhere in the build system and it relies on perl. Drop it.
-
The object splitter was the last major user of perl. There remain a few uses in nofib but we can just rely on the system's perl for this since it's not critical to the build.

Before this patch GHC was trying to be too clever (Trac #16344); it succeeded in kind-checking this polymorphic-recursive declaration data T ka (a::ka) b = MkT (T Type Int Bool) (T (Type -> Type) Maybe Bool) As Note [No polymorphic recursion] discusses, the "solution" was horribly fragile. So this patch deletes the key lines in TcHsType, and a wodge of supporting stuff in the renamer. There were two regressions, both the same: a closed type family decl like this (T12785b) does not have a CUSK: type family Payload (n :: Peano) (s :: HTree n x) where Payload Z (Point a) = a Payload (S n) (a `Branch` stru) = a To kind-check the equations we need a dependent kind for Payload, and we don't get that any more. Solution: make it a CUSK by giving the result kind -- probably a good thing anyway. The other case (T12442) was very similar: a close type family declaration without a CUSK.

Trac #10069 revealed that small NOINLINE functions didn't get split into worker and wrapper. This was due to `certainlyWillInline` saying that any unfoldings with a guidance of `UnfWhen` inline unconditionally. That isn't the case for NOINLINE functions, so we catch this case earlier now.

The type-variables-escaping-their-scope-via-kinds check in `TcValidity` was failing to properly expand type synonyms, which led to #16391. This is easily fixed by using `occCheckExpand` before performing the validity check. Along the way, I refactored this check out into its own function, and sprinkled references to Notes to better explain all of the moving parts. Many thanks to @simonpj for the suggestions. Bumps the haddock submodule.

The splitter is an evil Perl script that processes assembler code. Its job can be done better by the linker's --gc-sections flag. GHC passes this flag to the linker whenever -split-sections is passed on the command line. This is based on @DemiMarie's D2768.

This implements GHC proposal 35 (https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0035-forall-arrow.rst) by adding the ability to write kinds with visible dependent quantification (VDQ). Most of the work for supporting VDQ was actually done _before_ this patch. That is, GHC has been able to reason about kinds with VDQ for some time, but it lacked the ability to let programmers directly write these kinds in the source syntax. This patch is primarly about exposing this ability, by: * Changing `HsForAllTy` to add an additional field of type `ForallVisFlag` to distinguish between invisible `forall`s (i.e, with dots) and visible `forall`s (i.e., with arrows) * Changing `Parser.y` accordingly The rest of the patch mostly concerns adding validity checking to ensure that VDQ is never used in the type of a term (as permitting this would require full-spectrum dependent types). This is accomplished by: * Adding a `vdqAllowed` predicate to `TcValidity`. * Introducing `splitLHsSigmaTyInvis`, a variant of `splitLHsSigmaTy` that only splits invisible `forall`s. This function is used in certain places (e.g., in instance declarations) to ensure that GHC doesn't try to split visible `forall`s (e.g., if it tried splitting `instance forall a -> Show (Blah a)`, then GHC would mistakenly allow that declaration!) This also updates Template Haskell by introducing a new `ForallVisT` constructor to `Type`. Fixes #16326. Also fixes #15658 by documenting this feature in the users' guide.

This adds trace messages that include the processes name and as such make debugging and following the communication easier. It also adds a note regarding the fwd*Call proxy-communication logic between the proxy and the slave. The proxy will now also poll for 60s to wait for the remote iserv to come up. (Alternatively you can start the remote process beforehand; and just have iserv-proxy connect to it)

The big payload of this patch is: Add an AnonArgFlag to the FunTy constructor of Type, so that (FunTy VisArg t1 t2) means (t1 -> t2) (FunTy InvisArg t1 t2) means (t1 => t2) The big payoff is that we have a simple, local test to make when decomposing a type, leading to many fewer calls to isPredTy. To me the code seems a lot tidier, and probably more efficient (isPredTy has to take the kind of the type). See Note [Function types] in TyCoRep. There are lots of consequences * I made FunTy into a record, so that it'll be easier when we add a linearity field, something that is coming down the road. * Lots of code gets touched in a routine way, simply because it pattern matches on FunTy. * I wanted to make a pattern synonym for (FunTy2 arg res), which picks out just the argument and result type from the record. But alas the pattern-match overlap checker has a heart attack, and either reports false positives, or takes too long. In the end I gave up on pattern synonyms. There's some commented-out code in TyCoRep that shows what I wanted to do. * Much more clarity about predicate types, constraint types and (in particular) equality constraints in kinds. See TyCoRep Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence] and Note [Constraints in kinds]. This made me realise that we need an AnonArgFlag on AnonTCB in a TyConBinder, something that was really plain wrong before. See TyCon Note [AnonTCB InivsArg] * When building function types we must know whether we need VisArg (mkVisFunTy) or InvisArg (mkInvisFunTy). This turned out to be pretty easy in practice. * Pretty-printing of types, esp in IfaceType, gets tidier, because we were already recording the (->) vs (=>) distinction in an ad-hoc way. Death to IfaceFunTy. * mkLamType needs to keep track of whether it is building (t1 -> t2) or (t1 => t2). See Type Note [mkLamType: dictionary arguments] Other minor stuff * Some tidy-up in validity checking involving constraints; Trac #16263

Along the way, I discovered that `template-haskell.cabal` was hard-coding the GHC version (in the form of its `ghc-boot-th` version bounds), so I decided to make life a little simpler in the future by generating `template-haskell.cabal` with autoconf.

This is a preparation for #16295: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16295 This commit mostly focuses on getting rid of untracked dependencies, which prevent Shake's new `--shared` feature from appropriately caching build rules. There are three different solutions to untracked dependencies: * Track them! This is the obvious and the best approach, but in some situations we cannot use it, for example, because a build rule creates files whose names are not known statically and hence cannot be specified as the rule's outputs. * Use Shake's `produces` to record outputs dynamically, within the rule. * Use Shake's `historyDisable` to disable caching for a particular build rule. We currently use this approach only for `ghc-pkg` which mutates the package database and the file `package.cache`. These two tickets are fixed as the result: Ticket #16271: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16271 Ticket #16272: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16272 (this one is fixed only partially: we correctly record the dependency, but we still copy files into the RTS build tree).

The 4 main testsuites in Haddock don't have many dependencies, but are regularly broken in small ways by changes to the GHC AST or the GHC API. The main gotcha is that we'll have to make sure that `haddock-test` and the test suite don't add modules without modifying this test. Then again, if that happens, the test will fail and someone will noticed.
