* compiler: Introduce and use RoughMap for instance environmentsBen Gamari2022-02-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we introduce a new data structure, RoughMap, inspired by the previous `RoughTc` matching mechanism for checking instance matches. This allows [Fam]InstEnv to be implemented as a trie indexed by these RoughTc signatures, reducing the complexity of instance lookup and FamInstEnv merging (done during the family instance conflict test) from O(n) to O(log n). The critical performance improvement currently realised by this patch is in instance matching. In particular the RoughMap mechanism allows us to discount many potential instances which will never match for constraints involving type variables (see Note [Matching a RoughMap]). In realistic code bases matchInstEnv was accounting for 50% of typechecker time due to redundant work checking instances when simplifying instance contexts when deriving instances. With this patch the cost is significantly reduced. The larger constants in InstEnv creation do mean that a few small tests regress in allocations slightly. However, the runtime of T19703 is reduced by a factor of 4. Moreover, the compilation time of the Cabal library is slightly improved. A couple of test cases are included which demonstrate significant improvements in compile time with this patch. This unfortunately does not fix the testcase provided in #19703 but does fix #20933 ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T12425 Metric Increase: T13719 T9872a T9872d hard_hole_fits ------------------------- Co-authored-by: Matthew Pickering <matthewtpickering@gmail.com>
* Split GHC.Driver.TypesSylvain Henry2020-10-291-0/+51
I was working on making DynFlags stateless (#17957), especially by storing loaded plugins into HscEnv instead of DynFlags. It turned out to be complicated because HscEnv is in GHC.Driver.Types but LoadedPlugin isn't: it is in GHC.Driver.Plugins which depends on GHC.Driver.Types. I didn't feel like introducing yet another hs-boot file to break the loop. Additionally I remember that while we introduced the module hierarchy (#13009) we talked about splitting GHC.Driver.Types because it contained various unrelated types and functions, but we never executed. I didn't feel like making GHC.Driver.Types bigger with more unrelated Plugins related types, so finally I bit the bullet and split GHC.Driver.Types. As a consequence this patch moves a lot of things. I've tried to put them into appropriate modules but nothing is set in stone. Several other things moved to avoid loops. * Removed Binary instances from GHC.Utils.Binary for random compiler things * Moved Typeable Binary instances into GHC.Utils.Binary.Typeable: they import a lot of things that users of GHC.Utils.Binary don't want to depend on. * put everything related to Units/Modules under GHC.Unit: GHC.Unit.Finder, GHC.Unit.Module.{ModGuts,ModIface,Deps,etc.} * Created several modules under GHC.Types: GHC.Types.Fixity, SourceText, etc. * Split GHC.Utils.Error (into GHC.Types.Error) * Finally removed GHC.Driver.Types Note that this patch doesn't put loaded plugins into HscEnv. It's left for another patch. Bump haddock submodule
