{- Note [safe foreign call convention]

The simple thing to do for a safe foreign call would be the same as an
unsafe one: just

    emitForeignCall ...
    emitReturn ...

but consider what happens in this case

   case foo x y z of
     (# s, r #) -> ...

The sequel is AssignTo [r].  The call to newUnboxedTupleRegs picks [r]
as the result reg, and we generate

  r = foo(x,y,z) returns to L1  -- emitForeignCall
 L1:
  r = r  -- emitReturn
  goto L2
L2:
  ...

Now L1 is a proc point (by definition, it is the continuation of the
safe foreign call).  If L2 does a heap check, then L2 will also be a
proc point.

Furthermore, the stack layout algorithm has to arrange to save r
somewhere between the call and the jump to L1, which is annoying: we
would have to treat r differently from the other live variables, which
have to be saved *before* the call.

So we adopt a special convention for safe foreign calls: the results
are copied out according to the NativeReturn convention by the call,
and the continuation of the call should copyIn the results.  (The
copyOut code is actually inserted when the safe foreign call is
lowered later).  The result regs attached to the safe foreign call are
only used temporarily to hold the results before they are copied out.

We will now generate this:

  r = foo(x,y,z) returns to L1
 L1:
  r = R1  -- copyIn, inserted by mkSafeCall
  goto L2
 L2:
  ... r ...

And when the safe foreign call is lowered later (see Note [lower safe
foreign calls]) we get this:

  suspendThread()
  r = foo(x,y,z)
  resumeThread()
  R1 = r  -- copyOut, inserted by lowerSafeForeignCall
  jump L1
 L1:
  r = R1  -- copyIn, inserted by mkSafeCall
  goto L2
 L2:
  ... r ...

Now consider what happens if L2 does a heap check: the Adams
optimisation kicks in and commons up L1 with the heap-check
continuation, resulting in just one proc point instead of two. Yay!

-- Note [Unlifted boxed arguments to foreign calls]
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--
-- For certain types passed to foreign calls, we adjust the actual
-- value passed to the call.  For ByteArray#, Array#, SmallArray#,
-- and ArrayArray#, we pass the address of the array's payload, not
-- the address of the heap object. For example, consider
--   foreign import "c_foo" foo :: ByteArray# -> Int# -> IO ()
-- At a Haskell call like `foo x y`, we'll generate a C call that
-- is more like
--   c_foo( x+8, y )
-- where the "+8" takes the heap pointer (x :: ByteArray#) and moves
-- it past the header words of the ByteArray object to point directly
-- to the data inside the ByteArray#. (The exact offset depends
-- on the target architecture and on profiling) By contrast, (y :: Int#)
-- requires no such adjustment.
--
-- This adjustment is performed by 'add_shim'. The size of the
-- adjustment depends on the type of heap object. But
-- how can we determine that type? There are two available options.
-- We could use the types of the actual values that the foreign call
-- has been applied to, or we could use the types present in the
-- foreign function's type. Prior to GHC 8.10, we used the former
-- strategy since it's a little more simple. However, in issue #16650
-- and more compellingly in the comments of
-- https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/939, it was
-- demonstrated that this leads to bad behavior in the presence
-- of unsafeCoerce#. Returning to the above example, suppose the
-- Haskell call looked like
--   foo (unsafeCoerce# p)
-- where the types of expressions comprising the arguments are
--   p :: (Any :: TYPE 'UnliftedRep)
--   i :: Int#
-- so that the unsafe-coerce is between Any and ByteArray#.
-- These two types have the same kind (they are both represented by
-- a heap pointer) so no GC errors will occur if we do this unsafe coerce.
-- By the time this gets to the code generator the cast has been
-- discarded so we have
--   foo p y
-- But we *must* adjust the pointer to p by a ByteArray# shim,
-- *not* by an Any shim (the Any shim involves no offset at all).
--
-- To avoid this bad behavior, we adopt the second strategy: use
-- the types present in the foreign function's type.
-- In collectStgFArgTypes, we convert the foreign function's
-- type to a list of StgFArgType. Then, in add_shim, we interpret
-- these as numeric offsets.
