Loads should now handle up to 32 bit offsets.

See documentation for details.

To evaluate most non-updatable thunks, we can jump directly to the
entry code if we know what it is.  But not for a selector thunk: these
might be updated by the garbage collector, so we have to enter the
closure with an indirect jump through its info pointer.

These parts were forgotten to be committed together with the rest of

By default, bzip2 compression is selected (which is what has been used
till now). Additionally, by setting the TAR_COMP make variable to one of
the values "bzip2", "gzip", or "xz", an explicit compression format can
be requested for the distribution tarballs. For instance, invoking

  make TAR_COMP=xz sdist-ghc

will result in a tarball `./sdistprep/ghc-7.9.20140226-src.tar.xz`

It turns out that the enhanced repPred function in DsMeta assumed
that the head of any constraint would be a tycon. This assumption
is false. Happily, the solution involved *deleting* code. I
just removed repPred in favor of repTy, and added the HsEqTy case
to repTy, where it should be anyway.

This matches GCC's choice of Unicode quotation marks (i.e. U+2018 and U+2019)
and therefore looks more familiar on the console. This addresses #2507.

Seeing "<document comment>" when trying to debug things in Haddock is
utterly useless and because this instance exists, we can't even make our
own. No instance at all would be better than what it was!

Admittedly, this doesn't produce the nicest output. Perhaps wrapping the
comments in {- -} would be in order but I think it's fine until someone
complains.

See the comments in Packages.lhs and the ticket for some more explanation.

This is a temporary fix while we consider a way to re-enable intra-package
references in the mean time.

The rules weren't correctly setting INSTALL_TOPDIRS, and on top of that
the dependencies were wrong when BINDIST=YES.

This time, we carefully initialize the GC stats only if they're not
already initialized - this way the user can override them (e.g. `+RTS -t
--machine-readable`).

GHC 7.6.3 and earlier should fail to type check this but don't.
This was fixed some time between the 7.6.3 and the 7.8rc1 release, so
we're just adding a test to prevent future regressions.

This was already performed via
47d725f2

However, it was accidently reverted as a side-effect of

Patch submitted by an anonymous friend on the bug tracker.

This also fixes TH_RichKinds2 which had a slight message output wibble
(it uses the qualified name of the promoted datacon)

This is special cased a little since it's cleaner, and we don't
necessarily want to remove nofib anyway - just the extra packages.
