This patch builds on 5077416e and modifies the base API to reflect the new RTS flag. CLC proposal #243 - https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/243 Fixes #24337
-
The simple optimizer reduces the size of the code generated by the JavaScript backend without the complexity and performance penalty of the optimizer in GHCJS. Also see #22736 Metric Decrease: libdir size_hello_artifact
-
Adds `sortOn` to `Data.List.NonEmpty`, and adds comments describing when to use it, compared to `sortWith` or `sortBy . comparing`. The aim is to smooth out the API between `Data.List`, and `Data.List.NonEmpty`. This change has been discussed in the [clc issue](https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/227).

Check for ptr/int arguments rather than 64-bit width arguments when counting integer register arguments. The old approach broke when we stopped using exclusively W64-sized types to represent sub-word sized integers. Fixes #24314

These tests were previously part of the libraries, which themselves are submodules of the GHC repository. This commit moves the tests directly to the GHC repository.
-
This commit adds a few test cases for the wasm backend's JSFFI functionality, as well as a simple README to instruct future contributors to add new test cases.
-
T22774 works since the wasm backend now supports the JSFFI feature.
-
This commit adds opts.target_wrapper which allows overriding the target wrapper on a per test case basis when testing a cross target. This is used when testing the wasm backend's JSFFI functionality; the rest of the cases are tested using wasmtime, though the jsffi cases are tested using the node.js based test runner.

Add support for heap profiling while using the nonmoving collector. We greatly simply the implementation by disabling concurrent collection for GCs when heap profiling is enabled. This entails that the marked objects on the nonmoving heap are exactly the live objects. Note that we match the behaviour for live bytes accounting by taking the size of objects on the nonmoving heap to be that of the segment's block rather than the object itself. Resolves #22221
-
Just remove an out of date block of commented-out code, and tidy up the relevant Notes. See #8317.

emcc would sometime output messages like: cache:INFO: generating system asset: symbol_lists/424b44514e43d789148e69e4e7d1c7fdc0350b79.json... (this will be cached in "/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cache/symbol_lists/424b44514e43d789148e69e4e7d1c7fdc0350b79.json" for subsequent builds) cache:INFO: - ok Cf https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/18607 This breaks our tests matching the stderr output. We avoid this by setting EMCC_LOGGING=0
-
Support linking C sources with JS output of the JavaScript backend. See the added documentation in the users guide. The implementation simply extends the JS linker to use the objects (.o) that were already produced by the emcc compiler and which were filtered out previously. I've also added some options to control the link with C functions (see the documentation about pragmas). With this change I've successfully compiled the direct-sqlite package which embeds the sqlite.c database code. Some wrappers are still required (see the documentation about wrappers) but everything generic enough to be reused for other libraries have been integrated into rts/js/mem.js.

This isn't implemented for JS backend objects.

The eras profiling mode is useful for tracking the life-time of closures. When a closure is written, the current era is recorded in the profiling header. This records the era in which the closure was created. * Enable with -he * User mode: Use functions ghc-experimental module GHC.Profiling.Eras to modify the era * Automatically: --automatic-era-increment, increases the user era on major collections * The first era is era 1 * -he<era> can be used with other profiling modes to select a specific era If you just want to record the era but not to perform heap profiling you can use `-he --no-automatic-heap-samples`. https://well-typed.com/blog/2024/01/ghc-eras-profiling/ Fixes #24332

Fixes: #24411 Added test T24411 for regression

Rewrite the `HasHaddock` instance for `ConDecl GhcPs` to account for infix constructors. This change fixes a Haddock regression (introduced in 19e80b9a) that affected leading comments on infix data constructor declarations: -- | Docs for infix constructor | Int :* Bool The comment should be associated with the data constructor (:*), not with its left-hand side Int.

Here we move a good deal of the implementation of `base` into a new package, `ghc-internal` such that it can be evolved independently from the user-visible interfaces of `base`. While we want to isolate implementation from interfaces, naturally, we would like to avoid turning `base` into a mere set of module re-exports. However, this is a non-trivial undertaking for a variety of reasons: * `base` contains numerous known-key and wired-in things, requiring corresponding changes in the compiler * `base` contains a significant amount of C code and corresponding autoconf logic, which is very fragile and difficult to break apart * `base` has numerous import cycles, which are currently dealt with via carefully balanced `hs-boot` files * We must not break existing users To accomplish this migration, I tried the following approaches: * [Split-GHC.Base]: Break apart the GHC.Base knot to allow incremental migration of modules into ghc-internal: this knot is simply too intertwined to be easily pulled apart, especially given the rather tricky import cycles that it contains) * [Move-Core]: Moving the "core" connected component of base (roughly 150 modules) into ghc-internal. While the Haskell side of this seems tractable, the C dependencies are very subtle to break apart. * [Move-Incrementally]: 1. Move all of base into ghc-internal 2. Examine the module structure and begin moving obvious modules (e.g. leaves of the import graph) back into base 3. Examine the modules remaining in ghc-internal, refactor as necessary to facilitate further moves 4. Go to (2) iterate until the cost/benefit of further moves is insufficient to justify continuing 5. Rename the modules moved into ghc-internal to ensure that they don't overlap with those in base 6. For each module moved into ghc-internal, add a shim module to base with the declarations which should be exposed and any requisite Haddocks (thus guaranteeing that base will be insulated from changes in the export lists of modules in ghc-internal Here I am using the [Move-Incrementally] approach, which is empirically the least painful of the unpleasant options above Bumps haddock submodule. Metric Decrease: haddock.Cabal haddock.base Metric Increase: MultiComponentModulesRecomp T16875 size_hello_artifact -
This logic appears to be incorrect as it would drop any dependency which was not in a direct dependency of the package being linked. In the ghc-internals split this started to cause errors because `ghc-internal` is not a direct dependency of most packages, and hence important symbols to keep which are hard coded into the js runtime were getting dropped.

In b5213542 the testsuite gained the capability to collect generic metrics. But this assumed that the test was not linking and producing artifacts and we only wanted to track object files, interface files, or build artifacts from the compiler build. However, some backends, such as the JS backend, produce artifacts when compiling, such as the jsexe directory which we want to track. This patch: - tweaks the testsuite to collect generic metrics on any build artifact in the test directory. - expands the exe_extension function to consider windows and adds the ignore_extension flag. - Modifies certain tests to add the ignore_extension flag. Tests such as heaprof002 expect a .ps file, but on windows without ignore_extensions the testsuite will look for foo.exe.ps. Hence the flag. - adds the size_hello_artifact test

This fixes a bug in 8db8d2fd, where we could lose track of acyclic components at the start of an unresolved cycle. We now ensure we never loose track of any of these components. As T24275 demonstrates, a "cyclic" SCC might not really be a true SCC: When viewed without boot files, we have a single SCC ``` [REC main:T24275B [main:T24275B {-# SOURCE #-}, main:T24275A {-# SOURCE #-}] main:T24275A [main:T24275A {-# SOURCE #-}]] ``` But with boot files this turns into ``` [NONREC main:T24275B {-# SOURCE #-} [], REC main:T24275B [main:T24275B {-# SOURCE #-}, main:T24275A {-# SOURCE #-}] main:T24275A {-# SOURCE #-} [main:T24275B], NONREC main:T24275A [main:T24275A {-# SOURCE #-}]] ``` Note that this is truly not an SCC, as no nodes are reachable from T24275B.hs-boot. However, we treat this entire group as a single "SCC" because it seems so when we analyse the graph without taking boot files into account. Indeed, we must return a single ResolvedCycle element in the BuildPlan for this as described in Note [Upsweep]. However, since after resolving this is not a true SCC anymore, `findCycle` fails to find a cycle and we have a sub-optimal error message as a result. To handle this, I extended `findCycle` to not assume its input is an SCC, and to try harder to find cycles in its input. Fixes #24275

This patch is a preparation for @a-binders implementation. The main changes are: * Skolemisation is now prepared to deal with @binders. See Note [Skolemisation overview] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify. Most of the action is in - Utils.Unify.matchExpectedFunTys - Gen.Pat.tcMatchPats - Gen.Expr.tcPolyExprCheck - Gen.Binds.tcPolyCheck Some accompanying refactoring: * I found that funTyConAppTy_maybe was doing a lot of allocation, and rejigged userTypeError_maybe to avoid calling it.

Given that we are expanding the statements into function binds, we will have to bear a (small) 2% cost upfront in the compiler to unroll the statements.

...mostly so that 16d6b7e835ffdcf9b894e79f933dd52348dedd0c (which reworks unaligned writes in Builder) and the stuff in https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/pull/631 can see wider testing. The less-terrible code for unaligned writes used in Builder on hosts not known to be ulaigned-friendly also takes less effort for GHC to compile, resulting in a metric decrease for T21839c on some platforms. The metric increase on T21839r is caused by the unrelated commit 750dac33465e7b59100698a330b44de7049a345c. It perhaps warrants further analysis and discussion (see #23822) but is not critical.

New syntax for WARNING and DEPRECATED pragmas was added, namely namespace specifierss: namespace_spec ::= 'type' | 'data' | {- empty -} warning ::= warning_category namespace_spec namelist strings deprecation ::= namespace_spec namelist strings A new data type was introduced to represent these namespace specifiers: data NamespaceSpecifier = NoSpecifier | TypeNamespaceSpecifier (EpToken "type") | DataNamespaceSpecifier (EpToken "data") Extension field XWarning now contains this NamespaceSpecifier. lookupBindGroupOcc function was changed: it now takes NamespaceSpecifier and checks that the namespace of the found names matches the passed flag. With this change {-# WARNING data D "..." #-} pragma will only affect value namespace and {-# WARNING type D "..." #-} will only affect type namespace. The same logic is applicable to DEPRECATED pragmas. Finding duplicated warnings inside rnSrcWarnDecls now takes into consideration NamespaceSpecifier flag to allow warnings with the same names that refer to different namespaces.

A test *сс018* is attached (not sure about the naming convention though). Note that without the fix, the test fails with the *dodgy-foreign-imports* warning passed to stderr. The warning disappears after the fix. GHC shouldn't warn on imports of natural function pointers from C by value (which is feasible with CApiFFI), such as ```haskell foreign import capi "cc018.h value f" f :: FunPtr (Int -> IO ()) ``` where ```c void (*f)(int); ``` See a related real-world use-case [here](https://gitlab.com/daniel-casanueva/pcre-light/-/merge_requests/17). There, GHC warns on import of C function pointer `pcre_free`.

We were emitting the wrong instructions for fused multiply-add operations on LLVM: - the instruction name is "llvm.fma.f32" or "llvm.fma.f64", not "fmadd" - LLVM does not support other instructions such as "fmsub"; instead we implement these by flipping signs of some arguments - the instruction is an LLVM intrinsic, which requires handling it like a normal function call instead of a machine instruction Fixes #24223
