{- Note [Remote GHCi]

When the flag -fexternal-interpreter is given to GHC, interpreted code
is run in a separate process called iserv, and we communicate with the
external process over a pipe using Binary-encoded messages.

Motivation
~~~~~~~~~~

When the interpreted code is running in a separate process, it can
use a different "way", e.g. profiled or dynamic.  This means

- 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.

- 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.

For other reasons see remote-GHCi on the wiki.

Implementation Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The main pieces are:

- libraries/ghci, containing:
  - types for talking about remote values (GHCi.RemoteTypes)
  - the message protocol (GHCi.Message),
  - implementation of the messages (GHCi.Run)
  - implementation of Template Haskell (GHCi.TH)
  - a few other things needed to run interpreted code

- top-level iserv directory, containing the codefor the external
  server.  This is a fairly simple wrapper, most of the functionality
  is provided by modules in libraries/ghci.

- This module (GHCi) which provides the interface to the server used
  by the rest of GHC.

GHC works with and without -fexternal-interpreter.  With the flag, all
interpreted code is run by the iserv binary.  Without the flag,
interpreted code is run in the same process as GHC.

Things that do not work with -fexternal-interpreter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

dynCompileExpr cannot work, because we have no way to run code of an
unknown type in the remote process.  This API fails with an error
message if it is used with -fexternal-interpreter.

{- Note [External GHCi pointers]

We have the following ways to reference things in GHCi:

HValue
------

HValue is a direct reference to a value in the local heap.  Obviously
we cannot use this to refer to things in the external process.


RemoteRef
---------

RemoteRef is a StablePtr to a heap-resident value.  When
-fexternal-interpreter is used, this value resides in the external
process's heap.  RemoteRefs are mostly used to send pointers in
messages between GHC and iserv.

A RemoteRef must be explicitly freed when no longer required, using
freeHValueRefs, or by attaching a finalizer with mkForeignHValue.

To get from a RemoteRef to an HValue you can use 'wormholeRef', which
fails with an error message if -fexternal-interpreter is in use.

ForeignRef
----------

A ForeignRef is a RemoteRef with a finalizer that will free the
'RemoteRef' when it is garbage collected.  We mostly use ForeignHValue
on the GHC side.

The finalizer adds the RemoteRef to the iservPendingFrees list in the
IServ record.  The next call to iservCmd will free any RemoteRefs in
the list.  It was done this way rather than calling iservCmd directly,
because I didn't want to have arbitrary threads calling iservCmd.  In
principle it would probably be ok, but it seems less hairy this way.
