* Remote GHCi, -fexternal-interpreterSimon Marlow2015-12-171-179/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: (Apologies for the size of this patch, I couldn't make a smaller one that was validate-clean and also made sense independently) (Some of this code is derived from GHCJS.) This commit adds support for running interpreted code (for GHCi and TemplateHaskell) in a separate process. The functionality is experimental, so for now it is off by default and enabled by the flag -fexternal-interpreter. Reaosns we want this: * compiling Template Haskell code with -prof does not require building the code without -prof first * when GHC itself is profiled, it can interpret unprofiled code, and the same applies to dynamic linking. We would no longer need to force -dynamic-too with TemplateHaskell, and we can load ordinary objects into a dynamically-linked GHCi (and vice versa). * An unprofiled GHCi can load and run profiled code, which means it can use the stack-trace functionality provided by profiling without taking the performance hit on the compiler that profiling would entail. Amongst other things; see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/RemoteGHCi for more details. Notes on the implementation are in Note [Remote GHCi] in the new module compiler/ghci/GHCi.hs. It probably needs more documenting, feel free to suggest things I could elaborate on. Things that are not currently implemented for -fexternal-interpreter: * The GHCi debugger * :set prog, :set args in GHCi * `recover` in Template Haskell * Redirecting stdin/stdout for the external process These are all doable, I just wanted to get to a working validate-clean patch first. I also haven't done any benchmarking yet. I expect there to be slight hit to link times for byte code and some penalty due to having to serialize/deserialize TH syntax, but I don't expect it to be a serious problem. There's also lots of low-hanging fruit in the byte code generator/linker that we could exploit to speed things up. Test Plan: * validate * I've run parts of the test suite with EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-fexternal-interpreter, notably tests/ghci and tests/th. There are a few failures due to the things not currently implemented (see above).

* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the ideas originally put forward in "System FC with Explicit Kind Equality" (ICFP'13). There are several noteworthy changes with this patch: * We now have casts in types. These change the kind of a type. See new constructor `CastTy`. * All types and all constructors can be promoted. This includes GADT constructors. GADT pattern matches take place in type family equations. In Core, types can now be applied to coercions via the `CoercionTy` constructor. * Coercions can now be heterogeneous, relating types of different kinds. A coercion proving `t1 :: k1 ~ t2 :: k2` proves both that `t1` and `t2` are the same and also that `k1` and `k2` are the same. * The `Coercion` type has been significantly enhanced. The documentation in `docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf` reflects the new reality. * The type of `*` is now `*`. No more `BOX`. * Users can write explicit kind variables in their code, anywhere they can write type variables. For backward compatibility, automatic inference of kind-variable binding is still permitted. * The new extension `TypeInType` turns on the new user-facing features. * Type families and synonyms are now promoted to kinds. This causes trouble with parsing `*`, leading to the somewhat awkward new `HsAppsTy` constructor for `HsType`. This is dispatched with in the renamer, where the kind `*` can be told apart from a type-level multiplication operator. Without `-XTypeInType` the old behavior persists. With `-XTypeInType`, you need to import `Data.Kind` to get `*`, also known as `Type`. * The kind-checking algorithms in TcHsType have been significantly rewritten to allow for enhanced kinds. * The new features are still quite experimental and may be in flux. * TODO: Several open tickets: #11195, #11196, #11197, #11198, #11203. * TODO: Update user manual. Tickets addressed: #9017, #9173, #7961, #10524, #8566, #11142. Updates Haddock submodule.

* Remove redundant constraints in the compiler itself, found by ↵Simon Peyton Jones2015-01-061-2/+2

* Add LANGUAGE pragmas to compiler/ source filesHerbert Valerio Riedel2014-05-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases, the layout of the LANGUAGE/OPTIONS_GHC lines has been reorganized, while following the convention, to - place `{-# LANGUAGE #-}` pragmas at the top of the source file, before any `{-# OPTIONS_GHC #-}`-lines. - Moreover, if the list of language extensions fit into a single `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-line (shorter than 80 characters), keep it on one line. Otherwise split into `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-lines for each individual language extension. In both cases, try to keep the enumeration alphabetically ordered. (The latter layout is preferable as it's more diff-friendly) While at it, this also replaces obsolete `{-# OPTIONS ... #-}` pragma occurences by `{-# OPTIONS_GHC ... #-}` pragmas.

* Add (a) CoreM monad, (b) new Annotations featuresimonpj@microsoft.com2008-10-301-0/+174
This patch, written by Max Bolingbroke, does two things 1. It adds a new CoreM monad (defined in simplCore/CoreMonad), which is used as the top-level monad for all the Core-to-Core transformations (starting at SimplCore). It supports * I/O (for debug printing) * Unique supply * Statistics gathering * Access to the HscEnv, RuleBase, Annotations, Module The patch therefore refactors the top "skin" of every Core-to-Core pass, but does not change their functionality. 2. It adds a completely new facility to GHC: Core "annotations". The idea is that you can say {#- ANN foo (Just "Hello") #-} which adds the annotation (Just "Hello") to the top level function foo. These annotations can be looked up in any Core-to-Core pass, and are persisted into interface files. (Hence a Core-to-Core pass can also query the annotations of imported things.) Furthermore, a Core-to-Core pass can add new annotations (eg strictness info) of its own, which can be queried by importing modules. The design of the annotation system is somewhat in flux. It's designed to work with the (upcoming) dynamic plug-ins mechanism, but is meanwhile independently useful. Do not merge to 6.10!
