* Don't get host RTS ways via settings (#18651)Sylvain Henry2020-10-171-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | To correctly perform a linking hack for Windows we need to link with the RTS GHC is currently using. We used to query the RTS ways via the "settings" file but it is fragile (#18651). The hack hasn't been fixed to take into account all the ways (Tracing) and it makes linking of GHC with another RTS more difficult (we need to link with another RTS and to regenerate the settings file). So this patch uses the ways reported by the RTS itself (GHC.Platform.Ways.hostWays) instead of the "settings" file.

* [macOS] improved runpath handlingMoritz Angermann2020-09-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In b592bd98ff25730bbe3c13d6f62a427df8c78e28 we started using -dead_strip_dylib on macOS when lining dynamic libraries and binaries. The underlying reason being the Load Command Size Limit in macOS Sierra (10.14) and later. GHC will produce @rpath/libHS... dependency entries together with a corresponding RPATH entry pointing to the location of the libHS... library. Thus for every library we produce two Load Commands. One to specify the dependent library, and one with the path where to find it. This makes relocating libraries and binaries easier, as we just need to update the RPATH entry with the install_name_tool. The dynamic linker will then subsitute each @rpath with the RPATH entries it finds in the libraries load commands or the environement, when looking up @rpath relative libraries. -dead_strip_dylibs intructs the linker to drop unused libraries. This in turn help us reduce the number of referenced libraries, and subsequently the size of the load commands. This however does not remove the RPATH entries. Subsequently we can end up (in extreme cases) with only a single @rpath/libHS... entry, but 100s or more RPATH entries in the Load Commands. This patch rectifies this (slighly unorthodox) by passing *no* -rpath arguments to the linker at link time, but -headerpad 8000. The headerpad argument is in hexadecimal and the maxium 32k of the load command size. This tells the linker to pad the load command section enough for us to inject the RPATHs later. We then proceed to link the library or binary with -dead_strip_dylibs, and *after* the linking inspect the library to find the left over (non-dead-stripped) dependencies (using otool). We find the corresponding RPATHs for each @rpath relative dependency, and inject them into the library or binary using the install_name_tool. Thus achieving a deadstripped dylib (and rpaths) build product. We can not do this in GHC, without starting to reimplement a dynamic linker as we do not know which symbols and subsequently libraries are necessary. Commissioned-by: Mercury Technologies, Inc.

* configure: Avoid hard-coded ld path on WindowsGHC GitLab CI2020-09-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | The fix to #17962 ended up regressing on Windows as it failed to replicate the logic responsible for overriding the toolchain paths on Windows. This resulted in a hard-coded path to a directory that likely doesn't exist on the user's system (#18550).
* DynFlags: disentangle OutputableSylvain Henry2020-08-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | - put panic related functions into GHC.Utils.Panic - put trace related functions using DynFlags in GHC.Driver.Ppr One step closer making Outputable fully independent of DynFlags. Bump haddock submodule
* Refactor handling of object mergingBen Gamari2020-08-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | Previously to merge a set of object files we would invoke the linker as usual, adding -r to the command-line. However, this can result in non-sensical command-lines which causes lld to balk (#17962). To avoid this we introduce a new tool setting into GHC, -pgmlm, which is the linker which we use to merge object files.
* Move GHC.Platform into the compilerSylvain Henry2020-07-251-3/+38
| | | | | | | Previously it was in ghc-boot so that ghc-pkg could use it. However it wasn't necessary because ghc-pkg only uses a subset of it: reading target arch and OS from the settings file. This is now done via GHC.Platform.ArchOS (was called PlatformMini before).

* Replace ghcWithNativeCodeGen with a proper Backend datatypeSylvain Henry2020-07-221-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Represent backends with a `Backend` datatype in GHC.Driver.Backend * Don't detect the default backend to use for the target platform at compile time in Hadrian/make but at runtime. It makes "Settings" simpler and it is a step toward making GHC multi-target. * The latter change also fixes hadrian which has not been updated to take into account that the NCG now supports AIX and PPC64 (cf df26b95559fd467abc0a3a4151127c95cb5011b9 and d3c1dda60d0ec07fc7f593bfd83ec9457dfa7984) * Also we don't treat iOS specifically anymore (cf cb4878ffd18a3c70f98bdbb413cd3c4d1f054e1f)
* Move tablesNextToCode field into PlatformSylvain Henry2020-06-181-2/+0
| | | | | | | tablesNextToCode is a platform setting and doesn't belong into DynFlags (#17957). Doing this is also a prerequisite to fix #14335 where we deal with two platforms (target and host) that may have different platform settings.
* Update compilerSylvain Henry2020-06-171-15/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to ghc-bignum, the compiler can be simplified: * Types and constructors of Integer and Natural can be wired-in. It means that we don't have to query them from interfaces. It also means that numeric literals don't have to carry their type with them. * The same code is used whatever ghc-bignum backend is enabled. In particular, conversion of bignum literals into final Core expressions is now much more straightforward. Bignum closure inspection too. * GHC itself doesn't depend on any integer-* package anymore * The `integerLibrary` setting is gone.
