readMutVar# is inlined/duplicated
The following code:
module Main where
import Control.Monad.ST.Lazy
import Data.STRef.Lazy
import Data.Array.ST
import Int
import Debug.Trace
data Refs s = Refs
{ memory :: STArray s Int8 Int8
, pc :: STRef s Int8
}
main :: IO ()
main = do
print $ runST m
where
m = do
m <- newArray_ (0,30)
p <- newSTRef 0
let r = Refs m p
writeArray m 0 0x4
v <- readSTRef p
modifySTRef p (+1)
trace ("v: " ++ show v) $ return ()
op <- readArray m v
case trace ("v: " ++ show v) $ op of
0x4 -> modifySTRef p (+100) -- should run this
n -> error ("should never match this: " ++ show n)
generates this output:
> ./st
v: 0
v: 1
st: MArray: undefined array element
That is, the two instances of trace (show v)
are printing different results, for the same v!
Looking at the Core, the problem seems to be that a call to readMutVar#
has been inlined and duplicated. The readMutVar#
primop doesn't have the has_side_effects
flag set, and setting it (in primops.txt.pp
) fixes it, but I'm not completely sure if that's the right fix. If it is, then there are lots of other similar primops that also need that flag set.
