The @String@ in the @PrimOpInfos@ is the ``base name'' by which the user may
refer to the primitive operation.  The conventional \tr{#}-for-
unboxed ops is added on later.

The reason for the funny characters in the names is so we do not
interfere with the programmer's Haskell name spaces.

We use @PrimKinds@ for the ``type'' information, because they're
(slightly) more convenient to use than @TyCons@.

Here are a load of comments from the old primOp info:

A @Word#@ is an unsigned @Int#@.

@decodeFloat#@ is given w/ Integer-stuff (it's similar).

@decodeDouble#@ is given w/ Integer-stuff (it's similar).

Decoding of floating-point numbers is sorta Integer-related.  Encoding
is done with plain ccalls now (see PrelNumExtra.hs).

A @Weak@ Pointer is created by the @mkWeak#@ primitive:

        mkWeak# :: k -> v -> f -> State# RealWorld
                        -> (# State# RealWorld, Weak# v #)

In practice, you'll use the higher-level

        data Weak v = Weak# v
        mkWeak :: k -> v -> IO () -> IO (Weak v)

The following operation dereferences a weak pointer.  The weak pointer
may have been finalized, so the operation returns a result code which
must be inspected before looking at the dereferenced value.

        deRefWeak# :: Weak# v -> State# RealWorld ->
                        (# State# RealWorld, v, Int# #)

Only look at v if the Int# returned is /= 0 !!

The higher-level op is

        deRefWeak :: Weak v -> IO (Maybe v)

Weak pointers can be finalized early by using the finalize# operation:

        finalizeWeak# :: Weak# v -> State# RealWorld ->
                           (# State# RealWorld, Int#, IO () #)

The Int# returned is either

        0 if the weak pointer has already been finalized, or it has no
          finalizer (the third component is then invalid).

        1 if the weak pointer is still alive, with the finalizer returned
          as the third component.

A {\em stable name/pointer} is an index into a table of stable name
entries.  Since the garbage collector is told about stable pointers,
it is safe to pass a stable pointer to external systems such as C
routines.

\begin{verbatim}
makeStablePtr#  :: a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, StablePtr# a #)
freeStablePtr   :: StablePtr# a -> State# RealWorld -> State# RealWorld
deRefStablePtr# :: StablePtr# a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, a #)
eqStablePtr#    :: StablePtr# a -> StablePtr# a -> Int#
\end{verbatim}

It may seem a bit surprising that @makeStablePtr#@ is a @IO@
operation since it doesn't (directly) involve IO operations.  The
reason is that if some optimisation pass decided to duplicate calls to
@makeStablePtr#@ and we only pass one of the stable pointers over, a
massive space leak can result.  Putting it into the IO monad
prevents this.  (Another reason for putting them in a monad is to
ensure correct sequencing wrt the side-effecting @freeStablePtr@
operation.)

An important property of stable pointers is that if you call
makeStablePtr# twice on the same object you get the same stable
pointer back.

Note that we can implement @freeStablePtr#@ using @_ccall_@ (and,
besides, it's not likely to be used from Haskell) so it's not a
primop.

Question: Why @RealWorld@ - won't any instance of @_ST@ do the job? [ADR]

Stable Names
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A stable name is like a stable pointer, but with three important differences:

        (a) You can't deRef one to get back to the original object.
        (b) You can convert one to an Int.
        (c) You don't need to 'freeStableName'

The existence of a stable name doesn't guarantee to keep the object it
points to alive (unlike a stable pointer), hence (a).

Invariants:

        (a) makeStableName always returns the same value for a given
            object (same as stable pointers).

        (b) if two stable names are equal, it implies that the objects
            from which they were created were the same.

        (c) stableNameToInt always returns the same Int for a given
            stable name.


These primops are pretty weird.

        tagToEnum# :: Int -> a    (result type must be an enumerated type)

The constraints aren't currently checked by the front end, but the
code generator will fall over if they aren't satisfied.

Note [Checking versus non-checking primops]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In GHC primops break down into two classes:

   a. Checking primops behave, for instance, like division. In this
      case the primop may throw an exception (e.g. division-by-zero)
      and is consequently is marked with the can_fail flag described below.
      The ability to fail comes at the expense of precluding some optimizations.

   b. Non-checking primops behavior, for instance, like addition. While
      addition can overflow it does not produce an exception. So can_fail is
      set to False, and we get more optimisation opportunities.  But we must
      never throw an exception, so we cannot rewrite to a call to error.

  It is important that a non-checking primop never be transformed in a way that
  would cause it to bottom. Doing so would violate Core's let/app invariant
  (see Note [Core let/app invariant] in GHC.Core) which is critical to
  the simplifier's ability to float without fear of changing program meaning.


Note [PrimOp can_fail and has_side_effects]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both can_fail and has_side_effects mean that the primop has
some effect that is not captured entirely by its result value.

----------  has_side_effects ---------------------
A primop "has_side_effects" if it has some *write* effect, visible
elsewhere
    - writing to the world (I/O)
    - writing to a mutable data structure (writeIORef)
    - throwing a synchronous Haskell exception

Often such primops have a type like
   State -> input -> (State, output)
so the state token guarantees ordering.  In general we rely *only* on
data dependencies of the state token to enforce write-effect ordering

 * NB1: if you inline unsafePerformIO, you may end up with
   side-effecting ops whose 'state' output is discarded.
   And programmers may do that by hand; see #9390.
   That is why we (conservatively) do not discard write-effecting
   primops even if both their state and result is discarded.

 * NB2: We consider primops, such as raiseIO#, that can raise a
   (Haskell) synchronous exception to "have_side_effects" but not
   "can_fail".  We must be careful about not discarding such things;
   see the paper "A semantics for imprecise exceptions".

 * NB3: *Read* effects (like reading an IORef) don't count here,
   because it doesn't matter if we don't do them, or do them more than
   once.  *Sequencing* is maintained by the data dependency of the state
   token.

----------  can_fail ----------------------------
A primop "can_fail" if it can fail with an *unchecked* exception on
some elements of its input domain. Main examples:
   division (fails on zero denominator)
   array indexing (fails if the index is out of bounds)

An "unchecked exception" is one that is an outright error, (not
turned into a Haskell exception,) such as seg-fault or
divide-by-zero error.  Such can_fail primops are ALWAYS surrounded
with a test that checks for the bad cases, but we need to be
very careful about code motion that might move it out of
the scope of the test.

Note [Transformations affected by can_fail and has_side_effects]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The can_fail and has_side_effects properties have the following effect
on program transformations.  Summary table is followed by details.

            can_fail     has_side_effects
Discard        YES           NO
Float in       YES           YES
Float out      NO            NO
Duplicate      YES           NO

* Discarding.   case (a `op` b) of _ -> rhs  ===>   rhs
  You should not discard a has_side_effects primop; e.g.
     case (writeIntArray# a i v s of (# _, _ #) -> True
  Arguably you should be able to discard this, since the
  returned stat token is not used, but that relies on NEVER
  inlining unsafePerformIO, and programmers sometimes write
  this kind of stuff by hand (#9390).  So we (conservatively)
  never discard a has_side_effects primop.

  However, it's fine to discard a can_fail primop.  For example
     case (indexIntArray# a i) of _ -> True
  We can discard indexIntArray#; it has can_fail, but not
  has_side_effects; see #5658 which was all about this.
  Notice that indexIntArray# is (in a more general handling of
  effects) read effect, but we don't care about that here, and
  treat read effects as *not* has_side_effects.

  Similarly (a `/#` b) can be discarded.  It can seg-fault or
  cause a hardware exception, but not a synchronous Haskell
  exception.



  Synchronous Haskell exceptions, e.g. from raiseIO#, are treated
  as has_side_effects and hence are not discarded.

* Float in.  You can float a can_fail or has_side_effects primop
  *inwards*, but not inside a lambda (see Duplication below).

* Float out.  You must not float a can_fail primop *outwards* lest
  you escape the dynamic scope of the test.  Example:
      case d ># 0# of
        True  -> case x /# d of r -> r +# 1
        False -> 0
  Here we must not float the case outwards to give
      case x/# d of r ->
      case d ># 0# of
        True  -> r +# 1
        False -> 0

  Nor can you float out a has_side_effects primop.  For example:
       if blah then case writeMutVar# v True s0 of (# s1 #) -> s1
               else s0
  Notice that s0 is mentioned in both branches of the 'if', but
  only one of these two will actually be consumed.  But if we
  float out to
      case writeMutVar# v True s0 of (# s1 #) ->
      if blah then s1 else s0
  the writeMutVar will be performed in both branches, which is
  utterly wrong.

* Duplication.  You cannot duplicate a has_side_effect primop.  You
  might wonder how this can occur given the state token threading, but
  just look at Control.Monad.ST.Lazy.Imp.strictToLazy!  We get
  something like this
        p = case readMutVar# s v of
              (# s', r #) -> (S# s', r)
        s' = case p of (s', r) -> s'
        r  = case p of (s', r) -> r

  (All these bindings are boxed.)  If we inline p at its two call
  sites, we get a catastrophe: because the read is performed once when
  s' is demanded, and once when 'r' is demanded, which may be much
  later.  Utterly wrong.  #3207 is real example of this happening.

  However, it's fine to duplicate a can_fail primop.  That is really
  the only difference between can_fail and has_side_effects.

Note [Implementation: how can_fail/has_side_effects affect transformations]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do we ensure that that floating/duplication/discarding are done right
in the simplifier?

Two main predicates on primpops test these flags:
  primOpOkForSideEffects <=> not has_side_effects
  primOpOkForSpeculation <=> not (has_side_effects || can_fail)

  * The "no-float-out" thing is achieved by ensuring that we never
    let-bind a can_fail or has_side_effects primop.  The RHS of a
    let-binding (which can float in and out freely) satisfies
    exprOkForSpeculation; this is the let/app invariant.  And
    exprOkForSpeculation is false of can_fail and has_side_effects.

  * So can_fail and has_side_effects primops will appear only as the
    scrutinees of cases, and that's why the FloatIn pass is capable
    of floating case bindings inwards.

  * The no-duplicate thing is done via primOpIsCheap, by making
    has_side_effects things (very very very) not-cheap!

{- Note [Primop wrappers]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously hasNoBinding would claim that PrimOpIds didn't have a curried
function definition. This caused quite some trouble as we would be forced to
eta expand unsaturated primop applications very late in the Core pipeline. Not
only would this produce unnecessary thunks, but it would also result in nasty
inconsistencies in CAFfy-ness determinations (see #16846 and
Note [CAFfyness inconsistencies due to late eta expansion] in GHC.Iface.Tidy).

However, it was quite unnecessary for hasNoBinding to claim this; primops in
fact *do* have curried definitions which are found in GHC.PrimopWrappers, which
is auto-generated by utils/genprimops from prelude/primops.txt.pp. These wrappers
are standard Haskell functions mirroring the types of the primops they wrap.
For instance, in the case of plusInt# we would have:

    module GHC.PrimopWrappers where
    import GHC.Prim as P
    plusInt# a b = P.plusInt# a b

We now take advantage of these curried definitions by letting hasNoBinding
claim that PrimOpIds have a curried definition and then rewrite any unsaturated
PrimOpId applications that we find during CoreToStg as applications of the
associated wrapper (e.g. `GHC.Prim.plusInt# 3#` will get rewritten to
`GHC.PrimopWrappers.plusInt# 3#`).` The Id of the wrapper for a primop can be
found using 'PrimOp.primOpWrapperId'.

Nota Bene: GHC.PrimopWrappers is needed *regardless*, because it's
used by GHCi, which does not implement primops direct at all.
