Manuel M T Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>**20071207071302

   normalised by rewriting wasn't always correctly propagated in TcTyFuns,
   which lead to malformed dictionary bindings.
 - Also fixes a bug in TcPat.tcConPat where GADT equalities where emitted in

[TcPat.tcConPat uses equalities instead of GADT refinement
Manuel M T Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>**20071120071208
 * This patch implements the use of equality constraints instead of GADT
   refinements that we have been discussing for a while.
 * It just changes TcPat.tcConPat.  It doesn't have any of the simplification
   and dead code removal that is possible due to this change.
 * At the moment, this patch breaks a fair number of GADT regression tests.

[FIX part of #1959: declaration versions were not being incremented correctly
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071206084556
 We were building a mapping from ModuleName to [Occ] from the usage
 list, using the usg_mod field as the key.  Unfortunately, due to a
 very poor naming decision, usg_mod is actually the module version, not
 the ModuleName.  usg_name is the ModuleName.  Since Version is also an
 instance of Uniquable, there was no type error: all that happened was
 lookups in the map never succeeded.  I shall rename the fields of
 Usage in a separate patch.
 
 This doesn't completely fix #1959, but it gets part of the way there.
 
 I have to take partial blame as the person who wrote this fragment of
 code in late 2006 (patch "Interface file optimisation and removal of
 nameParent").

simonpj@microsoft.com**20071204114955
        
 (No need to merge to 6.8, but no harm if a subsequent patch needs it.)
 
 The proximate cause for this patch is to improve the inlining for INLINE
 things that are not functions; this came up in the NDP project.  See
 Note [Lone variables] in CoreUnfold.
 
 This caused some refactoring that actually made things simpler.  In 
 particular, more of the inlining logic has moved from SimplUtils to 
 CoreUnfold, where it belongs.

[Improve eta reduction, to reduce Simplifier iterations
simonpj@microsoft.com**20071203150039
 
 I finally got around to investigating why the Simplifier was sometimes
 iterating so often.  There's a nice example in Text.ParserCombinators.ReadPrec,
 which produced:
 
 NOTE: Simplifier still going after 3 iterations; bailing out.  Size = 339
 NOTE: Simplifier still going after 3 iterations; bailing out.  Size = 339
 NOTE: Simplifier still going after 3 iterations; bailing out.  Size = 339
 
 No progress is being made.  It turned out that an interaction between
 eta-expansion, casts, and eta reduction was responsible. The change is
 small and simple, in SimplUtils.mkLam: do not require the body to be
 a Lam when floating the cast outwards.  
 
 I also discovered a missing side condition in the same equation, so fixing
 that is good too.  Now there is no loop when compiling ReadPrec.
 
 Should do a full nofib run though.

[Reorganise TcSimplify (again); FIX Trac #1919
simonpj@microsoft.com**20071128173146
 
 This was a bit tricky.  We had a "given" dict like (d7:Eq a); then it got
 supplied to reduceImplication, which did some zonking, and emerged with
 a "needed given" (d7:Eq Int). That got everything confused.
 
 I found a way to simplify matters significantly.  Now reduceContext
        - first deals with methods/literals/dictionaries
        - then deals with implications
 Separating things in this way not only made the bug go away, but
 eliminated the need for the recently-added "needed-givens" results returned
 by checkLoop.  Hurrah.
 
 It's still a swamp.  But it's a bit better.

 Adopt Trac #1537.  The patch ended up a bit bigger than I expected,

 is no funadamental reason why not.
 
 With this patch, rebindable do-notation really does type as if you
 had written the original (>>) and (>>=) operations in desguared form.
 
 I ended up refactoring some of the (rather complicated) error-context
 stuff in TcUnify, by pushing an InstOrigin into tcSubExp and its
 various calls. That means we could get rid of tcFunResTy, and the
 SubCtxt type.  This should improve error messages slightly
 in complicated situations, because we have an Origin to hand
 to instCall (in the (isSigmaTy actual_ty) case of tc_sub1).

[Move file locking into the RTS, fixing #629, #1109
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071120140859
 File locking (of the Haskell 98 variety) was previously done using a
 static table with linear search, which had two problems: the array had
 a fixed size and was sometimes too small (#1109), and performance of
 lockFile/unlockFile was suboptimal due to the linear search.
 Also the algorithm failed to count readers as required by Haskell 98
 (#629).
 
 Now it's done using a hash table (provided by the RTS).  Furthermore I
 avoided the extra fstat() for every open file by passing the dev_t and
 ino_t into lockFile.  This and the improvements to the locking
 algorithm result in a healthy 20% or so performance increase for
 opening/closing files (see openFile008 test).

[Attempt at fixing #1873, #1360
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071116152148
 
 I think I figured out a reasonable way to manage the GHCi context,
 comments welcome.
 
 Rule 1: external package modules in the context are persistent.  That
 is, when you say 'import Data.Maybe' it survives over :load, :add,
 :reload and :cd.
 
 Rule 2: :load and :add remove all home-package modules from the
 context and add the rightmost target, as a *-module if possible.  This
 is as before, and makes sense for :load because we're starting a new
 program; the old home-package modules don't make sense any more.  For
 :add, it usually does what you want, because the new target will
 become the context.
 
 Rule 3: any modules from the context that fail to load during a
 :reload are remembered, and re-added to the context at the next
 successful :reload.
 
 Claus' suggestion about adding the "remembered" modules to the prompt
 prefixed with a ! is implemented but commented out.  I couldn't
 decide whether it was useful or confusing.
 
 One difference that people might notice is that after a :reload where
 there were errors, GHCi would previously dump you in the most recent
 module that it loaded.  Now it dumps you in whatever subset of the
 current context still makes sense, and in the common case that will
 probably be {Prelude}.

 We have to pass the path to gcc when calling windres, which itself

 tools to gcc.  This means getting the quoting right, and after much
 experimentation and reading of the windres sources I found something
 that works: passing --use-temp-files to windres makes it use its own
 implementation of quoting instead of popen(), and this does what we
 want.  Sigh.

[Inline implication constraints
simonpj@microsoft.com**20071105220807
 
 This patch fixes Trac #1643, where Lennart found that GHC was generating
 code with unnecessary dictionaries.  The reason was that we were getting
 an implication constraint floated out of an INLINE (actually an instance
 decl), and the implication constraint therefore wasn't inlined even 
 though it was used only once (but inside the INLINE).  Thus we were 
 getting:
 
        ic = \d -> <stuff>
        foo = _inline_me_ (...ic...)
 
 Then 'foo' gets inlined in lots of places, but 'ic' now looks a bit 
 big.  
 
 But implication constraints should *always* be inlined; they are just
 artefacts of the constraint simplifier.
 
 This patch solves the problem, by adding a WpInline form to the HsWrap
 type.

 I got a Core Lint failure when compiling System.Win32.Info in the

 definition elsewhere in the module (unrelated to the error) made the

 Happily, I found it.  In SimplUtils.prepareDefault I was comparing an

 This patch fixes a serious problem in the type checker, whereby
 TcSimplify was going into a loop because it thought improvement
 had taken place, but actually the unificataion was actually deferred.
 
 We thereby fix Trac #1781, #1783, #1795, and #1797!
 
 In fixing this I found what a mess TcSimplify.reduceContext is! 
 We need to fix this.
 
 The main idea is to replace the "improvement flag" in Avails with
 a simpler and more direct test: have any of the mutable type variables
 in the (zonked) 'given' or 'irred' constraints been filled in?
 This test uses the new function TcMType.isFilledMetaTyVar; the test
 itself is towards the end of reduceContext.
 
 I fixed a variety of other infelicities too, and left some ToDos.

 The hs_hpc_module() prototype in RtsExternal.h didn't match its usage:

 sometimes negative, which caused the C compiler to emit warnings.
 
 I suspect PprC.pprHexVal may be wrong to emit negative constants in

 fix this in CgHpc, which is what I've done.

[Zonk quantified tyvars with skolems
Manuel M T Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>**20071019115653
 
 We used to zonk quantified type variables to regular TyVars.  However, this
 leads to problems.  Consider this program from the regression test suite:
 
   eval :: Int -> String -> String -> String
   eval 0 root actual = evalRHS 0 root actual
 
   evalRHS :: Int -> a
   evalRHS 0 root actual = eval 0 root actual
 
 It leads to the deferral of an equality
 
   (String -> String -> String) ~ a
 
 which is propagated up to the toplevel (see TcSimplify.tcSimplifyInferCheck).
 In the meantime `a' is zonked and quantified to form `evalRHS's signature.
 This has the *side effect* of also zonking the `a' in the deferred equality
 (which at this point is being handed around wrapped in an implication
 constraint).
 
 Finally, the equality (with the zonked `a') will be handed back to the
 simplifier by TcRnDriver.tcRnSrcDecls calling TcSimplify.tcSimplifyTop.
 If we zonk `a' with a regular type variable, we will have this regular type
 variable now floating around in the simplifier, which in many places assumes to
 only see proper TcTyVars.
 
 We can avoid this problem by zonking with a skolem.  The skolem is rigid
 (which we requirefor a quantified variable), but is still a TcTyVar that the
 simplifier knows how to deal with.

[View patterns, record wildcards, and record puns
Dan Licata <drl@cs.cmu.edu>**20071010150254
 This patch implements three new features:
 * view patterns (syntax: expression -> pat in a pattern)
 * working versions of record wildcards and record puns
 See the manual for detailed descriptions.
 
 Other minor observable changes:
 * There is a check prohibiting local fixity declarations
   when the variable being fixed is not defined in the same let
 * The warn-unused-binds option now reports warnings for do and mdo stmts
 
 Implementation notes: 
 
 * The pattern renamer is now in its own module, RnPat, and the
 implementation is now in a CPS style so that the correct context is
 delivered to pattern expressions.
 
 * These features required a fairly major upheaval to the renamer.
 Whereas the old version used to collect up all the bindings from a let
 (or top-level, or recursive do statement, ...) and put them into scope
 before renaming anything, the new version does the collection as it
 renames.  This allows us to do the right thing with record wildcard
 patterns (which need to be expanded to see what names should be
 collected), and it allows us to implement the desired semantics for view
 patterns in lets.  This change had a bunch of domino effects brought on
 by fiddling with the top-level renaming.
 
 * Prior to this patch, there was a tricky bug in mkRecordSelId in HEAD,
 which did not maintain the invariant necessary for loadDecl.  See note
 [Tricky iface loop] for details.

[Fix DoCon: Another try at getting extractResults right
simonpj@microsoft.com**20071012162325
 
 For some reason TcSimplify.extractResults is quite difficult to get right.
 This is another attempt; finally I think I have it.
 
 Strangely enough, it's only Sergey's DoCon program that shows up the
 bug, which manifested as a failure in the Simplifier
 
         lookupRecBndr $dGCDRing{v a1Lz} [lid]
 
 But it was due to extractResults producing multiple bindings for
 the same dictionary.
 
 Please merge this to the stable branch (after previous patches to
 TcSimplify though).

[Add a proper write barrier for MVars
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071011135505
 Previously MVars were always on the mutable list of the old
 generation, which meant every MVar was visited during every minor GC.
 With lots of MVars hanging around, this gets expensive.  We addressed
 this problem for MUT_VARs (aka IORefs) a while ago, the solution is to
 use a traditional GC write-barrier when the object is modified.  This
 patch does the same thing for MVars.
 
 TVars are still done the old way, they could probably benefit from the
 same treatment too.

[GHCi: use non-updatable thunks for breakpoints
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071010093241
 The extra safe points introduced for breakpoints were previously
 compiled as normal updatable thunks, but they are guaranteed
 single-entry, so we can use non-updatable thunks here.  This restores
 the tail-call property where it was lost in some cases (although stack
 squeezing probably often recovered it), and should improve
 performance.

[small reworking of the loop-breaker-choosing algorithm
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071009145305
 Previously inline candidates were given higher preference as
 non-loop-breakers than constructor applications, but the reason for
 this was that making a wrapper into a loop-breaker is to be avoided at
 all costs.  This patch refines the algorithm slightly so that wrappers
 are explicitly avoided by giving them a much higher score, and other
 inline candidates are given lower scores than constructor
 applications.
 
 This makes almost zero difference to a complete nofib run, so it
 amounts to just a tidyup.

[FIX: tidy up TcSimplify following equality constraints additions
simonpj@microsoft.com**20071010093334
 
 The combination of "type refinement" for GADTs and the new equality
 constraints has made TcSimplify rather complicated.  And wrong:
 it generated bogus code for cholewo-eval.
 
 This patch is still far from entirely satisfactory.  There are
 too many places where invariants are unclear, and the code is 
 still a bit of a mess.  But I believe it's better, and it passes
 the regression tests!  So I think it's good enough for the 6.8 release.
 
 Please merge.
 
 The main changes are:
 
 - get rid of extractLocalResults (which was always suspicious)
 
 - instead, treat the 'refinement' along with 'givens', by 
   adding a field to RedEnv, red_reft which travels with red_givens
 
 - I also reworked extractResults a bit, which looked wrong to me
   This entailed changing the Given constructor in Avail to take
   an Inst rather than a TcId

[FIX #1038: failure of selector-thunk machinery to do its job
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20070917151834
 After a couple of abortive attempts, I think I've got this right.
 When the GC sees a chain of the form 
 
    snd (_, snd (_, snd (_, ...)))
 
 it can now deal with an arbitrary nesting depth, whereas previously it
 had a depth limit which was necessitated by the use of recursion.  Now
 we chain all the selector thunks together in the heap, and go back and
 update them all when we find the value at the end of the chain.
 
 While I was here I removed some old cruft in eval_thunk_selector()
 which was carefully manintaing invariants that aren't necessary any
 more, the main one being that evacuate() can safely be passed a
 to-space pointer now.
 
 In addition to validate I've tested building a stage3 compiler with
 and without +RTS -c, so I'm reasonably sure this is safe.

sven.panne@aedion.de**20070923120636
 Resolving this bug is a bit tricky, it boils down to the question: Should the
 Haddock links between packages include the package version or not?
 
 Pro: We can differentiate between various versions of the same package,
 installed all at once. (How often does this really happen in practice?)
 
 Cons: When package A refers to a package B, and B is later upgraded, links
 in A's documentation will break. Furthermore, if an *additional* version of
 B is installed, which version should A refer to?
 
 Because IMHO it is not clear what to do when version numbers are included,
 let's leave them out. If somebody has a better idea, feel free to submit a
 better patch.

[Unbreak "dist" target for fresh trees
sven.panne@aedion.de**20070923094358
 The previous hack to include Parser.hs in source distros broke the possibility
 of doing a "make dist" in a fresh tree, i.e. one which has just been checked
 out and configured, but *not* built. Of course you will need Happy for such a
 source distro later, but at least the freedom to do this is important.
 
 The ultimate goal should be that something like "make dist" will work in a
 freshly checked out tree, with no prerequisite steps (this is very common in
 most projects). We should move towards that goal, not away from it...

 If iterative coalescing isn't turned on, then do a single aggressive

 conservative coalescing for subseqent passes.
 
 Aggressive coalescing is a cheap way to eliminate lots of the reg-reg

 for every pass then allocation for code with a large amount of register
 pressure (ie SHA1) doesn't converge in a sensible number of cycles.

Ben.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au**20070914161408
 
 On further testing it turns out that using Chaitin's spill cost formula
 of counting the number of uses of a var and then dividing by the degree
 of the node isn't actually a win. Perhaps because this isn't counting 
 the number of actual spills inserted in the output code.
 
 This would be worth revisiting if other work manages to increase the 
 register pressure in the native code.

[Better calculation of spill costs / selection of spill candidates.
Ben.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au**20070913155407
 
 Use Chaitin's formula for calculation of spill costs.
   Cost to spill some vreg = (num writes + num reads) / degree of node
 
 With 2 extra provisos:
   1) Don't spill vregs that live for only 1 instruction.
   2) Always prefer to spill vregs that live for a number of instructions
        more than 10 times the number of vregs in that class.
 
 Proviso 2 is there to help deal with basic blocks containing very long
 live ranges - SHA1 has live ranges > 1700 instructions. We don't ever
 try to keep these long lived ranges in regs at the expense of others.
 
 Because stack slots are allocated from a global pool, and there is no
 slot coalescing yet, without this condition the allocation of SHA1 dosn't
 converge fast enough and eventually runs out of stack slots.
 
 Prior to this patch we were just choosing to spill the range with the
 longest lifetime, so we didn't bump into this particular problem.

simonpj@microsoft.com**20070911085123
 
 When printing types for the user, the interactive UI often wants to
 leave foralls implicit.  But then (as Claus points out) we need to be
 careful about name capture. For example with this source program
 
        class C a b where
          op :: forall a. a -> b
 
 we were erroneously displaying the class in GHCi (with suppressed
 foralls) thus:
 
        class C a b where
          op :: a -> b
 
 which is utterly wrong. 
 
 This patch fixes the problem, removes GHC.dropForAlls (which is dangerous),
 and instead supplies PprTyThing.pprTypeForUser, which does the right thing.

      to a CallishMachOp.   This change has affected the interface
      to MkZipCfgCmm, which now provides a static guarantee.  Simon's

 pprDataItem). This works as long as the offset is <32bit AND it's
 positive. This is not the case for offsets in jump tables, they are
 all negative. This hack sign extends them with a MOVSXL instruction
 into the dead index register, then adding the properly sign extended
 offset to the jump table base label giving the correct target address
 for the following jump.

Ben.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au**20070907172315
 
 Iterative coalescing interleaves conservative coalesing with the regular
 simplify/scan passes. This increases the chance that nodes will be coalesced
 as they will have a lower degree than at the beginning of simplify. The end
 result is that more register to register moves will be eliminated in the
 output code, though the iterative nature of the algorithm makes it slower
 compared to non-iterative coloring.
 
 Use -fregs-iterative  for graph coloring allocation with iterative coalescing
     -fregs-graph      for non-iterative coalescing.
 
 The plan is for iterative coalescing to be enabled with -O2 and have a 
 quicker, non-iterative algorithm otherwise. The time/benefit tradeoff
 between iterative and not is still being tuned - optimal graph coloring
 is NP-hard, afterall..

[FIX #903: mkWWcpr: not a product
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20070910103830
 This fixes the long-standing bug that prevents some code with
 mutally-recursive modules from being compiled with --make and -O,
 including GHC itself.  See the comments for details.
 
 There are some additional cleanups that were forced/enabled by this
 patch: I removed importedSrcLoc/importedSrcSpan: it wasn't adding any
 useful information, since a Name already contains its defining Module.
 In fact when re-typechecking an interface file we were wrongly
 replacing the interesting SrcSpans in the Names with boring
 importedSrcSpans, which meant that location information could degrade
 after reloading modules.  Also, recreating all these Names was a waste
 of space/time.

[a good deal of salutory renaming
Norman Ramsey <nr@eecs.harvard.edu>**20070907161246
 I've renamed a number of type and data constructors within Cmm so that
 the names used in the compiler may more closely reflect the C--
 specification 2.1.  I've done a bit of other renaming as well.
 Highlights:
 
   CmmFormal and CmmActual now bear a CmmKind (which for now is a
                                               MachHint as before)
   CmmFormals = [CmmFormal] and CmmActuals = [CmmActual]
   
   suitable changes have been made to both code and nonterminals in the
   Cmm parser (which is as yet untested)
 
   For reasons I don't understand, parts of the code generator use a
   sequence of 'formal parameters' with no C-- kinds.  For these we now
   have the types
     type CmmFormalWithoutKind   = LocalReg
     type CmmFormalsWithoutKinds = [CmmFormalWithoutKind]
 
   A great many appearances of (Tau, MachHint) have been simplified to
   the appropriate CmmFormal or CmmActual, though I'm sure there are
   more opportunities.
 
   Kind and its data constructors are now renamed to
      data GCKind = GCKindPtr | GCKindNonPtr 
   to avoid confusion with the Kind used in the type checker and with CmmKind.
 
 Finally, in a somewhat unrelated bit (and in honor of Simon PJ, who
 thought of the name), the Whalley/Davidson 'transaction limit' is now
 called 'OptimizationFuel' with the net effect that there are no longer
 two unrelated uses of the abbreviation 'tx'.

 Testing whether a node in the conflict graph is trivially

 When we find a triv node during scanning, even though we remove
 it and its edges from the graph, this is unlikely to to make the
 nodes we've just scanned become triv - so there's not much point

 Scanning now takes place in passes. We scan the whole graph for

[Don't give warnings in compat
Ian Lynagh <igloo@earth.li>**20070905182923
 There are lots of warnings in here due to things like modules being
 imported that, in some versions of GHC, aren't used. Thus we don't
 give any warnings in here, and therefore validating with -Werror won't
 make the build fail.
 
 An alternative would be to do
 SRC_HC_OPTS := $(filter-out -Werror,$(SRC_HC_OPTS))
 but if warnings are expected then there is little point in spewing them
 out anyway.
 
 On the other hand, there aren't any warnings for me (GHC 6.6 on Linux/amd64),
 so perhaps it would be worth fixing them instead.

[Refactor, improve, and document the deriving mechanism
simonpj@microsoft.com**20070905170730
 
 This patch does a fairly major clean-up of the code that implements 'deriving.
 
 * The big changes are in TcDeriv, which is dramatically cleaned up.
   In particular, there is a clear split into
        a) inference of instance contexts for deriving clauses
        b) generation of the derived code, given a context 
   Step (a) is skipped for standalone instance decls, which 
   have an explicitly provided context.
 
 * The handling of "taggery", which is cooperative between TcDeriv and
   TcGenDeriv, is cleaned up a lot
 
 * I have added documentation for standalone deriving (which was 
   previously wrong).
 
 * The Haskell report is vague on exactly when a deriving clause should
   succeed.  Prodded by Conal I have loosened the rules slightly, thereyb
   making drv015 work again, and documented the rules in the user manual.
 
 I believe this patch validates ok (once I've update the test suite)
 and can go into the 6.8 branch.

[FIX #1650: ".boot modules interact badly with the ghci debugger"
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20070905104716
 
 In fact hs-boot files had nothing to do with it: the problem was that
 GHCi would forget the breakpoint information for a module that had
 been reloaded but not recompiled.  It's amazing that we never noticed
 this before.
 
 The ModBreaks were in the ModDetails, which was the wrong place.  When
 we avoid recompiling a module, ModDetails is regenerated from ModIface
 by typecheckIface, and at that point it has no idea what the ModBreaks
 should be, so typecheckIface made it empty.  The right place for the
 ModBreaks to go is with the Linkable, which is retained when
 compilation is avoided.  So now I've placed the ModBreaks in with the
 CompiledByteCode, which also makes it clear that only byte-code
 modules have breakpoints.
 
 This fixes break022/break023

 There is one additional quirk: although OS X prefixes global symbols with an

 now turn off timer signals, and re-enable them again just before

 Instead, we will limit the arity of our sums/product representation to, say,
 16 (it's 3 at the moment) and initially refuse to vectorise programs for which
 this is not sufficient. This allows us to implement everything in the library.
 Later, we can implement the necessary splitting.

[FIX: Remove accidential change to darcs-all in type families patch
Manuel M T Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>**20070829010011
 - The type families patch includes a change to darcs-all that breaks it for
   ssh repos at least for Perl 5.8.8 (on MacOS).
 - My Perl-fu is not sufficient to try to fix the modification, which was
   supposed to improve darcs-all on windows, so I just revert to the old
   code.
