.. _release-9-2-6:
Version 9.2.6
==============
The significant changes to the various parts of the compiler are listed in the
following sections.
The :ghc-flag:`LLVM backend <-fllvm>` of this release is to be used with LLVM
9, 10, 11, or 12.
Compiler
--------
- Fix a regression in the simplifier due to a bad backport in GHC 9.2.5 that
could seriously impact runtime performance when compiling with optimisations
due to duplication of expensive work (:ghc-ticket:`22425`).
- Fix a compiler panic in the simplifier due to a bad backport in GHC 9.2.5
(:ghc-ticket:`22491`).
- Fix a compiler panic in the simplifier that manifests when compiling with
optimisations (:ghc-ticket:`19824`,:ghc-ticket:`22482`).
- Fix a compiler panic in the demand analyser due to a bug involving shadowing
(:ghc-ticket:`22718`).
- Fix a compiler panic during the "Float In" optimsation pass due to improper
handling of shadowing (:ghc-ticket:`22662`).
- Fix a compiler panic in the demand analyser (:ghc-ticket:`22039`).
- Fix a shadowing related bug in the occurence analysis phase of the simplifier
(:ghc-ticket:`22623`).
- Fix a compiler bug where programs using Template Haskell involving Constant
Applicative forms could be garbage collected too early (:ghc-ticket:`22417`).
- Fix a regression in the typechecker where certain typeclass instances
involving type and data familes would fail to resolve (:ghc-ticket:`22647`).
- Fix the linker warning about chained fixups on Darwin platforms for programs
compiled with GHC (:ghc-ticket:`22429`).
- Fix a bug with the graph-colouring register allocater leading to compiler
panics when compiling with ``-fregs-graph`` (:ghc-ticket:`22798`).
- Fix a parser bug where certain keywords which could be used as variables
were not allowed to be used with :extension:`OverloadedRecordDot`
(:ghc-ticket:`20723`).
- Fix the location of some ``Typeable`` definitions from ``GHC.Types`` which
resulted in poor error messages (:ghc-ticket:`22510`).
- Improve error messages involving non-exhaustive patterns when using
:extension:`ApplicativeDo` (:ghc-ticket:`22483`).
- Fix a driver bug where certain non-fatal Safe Haskell related warnings were
being marked as fatal (:ghc-ticket:`22728`).
- Fix a core lint error arises from incorrect scoping of type variables in
specialise pragmas inside class instances (:ghc-ticket:`22913`).
- Improve typchecker performance for modules with holes in type signatures
(:ghc-ticket:`14766`).
Runtime system
--------------
- Fix a GC bug where a race condition in the parallel GC could cause it to
garbage collect live sparks (:ghc-ticket:`22528`).
- Truncate eventlog events with a large payload (:ghc-ticket:`20221`).
- A bug in the nonmoving garbage collector regarding the treatment of
zero-length ``SmallArray#``\ s has been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`22264`)
- A number of bugs regarding the non-moving garbage collector's treatment of
``Weak#`` pointers have been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`22327`)
- A few race conditions between the non-moving collector and
``setNumCapabilities`` which could result in undefined behavior have been
fixed (:ghc-ticket:`22926`, :ghc-ticket:`22927`)
- The non-moving collector is now able to better schedule marking work during
the post-mark synchronization phase of collection, significantly reducing
pause times in some workloads (:ghc-ticket:`22929`).
- Various bugs in the non-moving collector's implementation of the selector
optimisation have been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`22930`)
Build system and packaging
--------------------------
- Bump ``gmp-tarballs`` to a version which doesn't use the reserved ``x18``
register on AArch64/Darwin systems, and also has fixes for CVE-2021-43618
(:ghc-ticket:`22497`, :ghc-ticket:`22789`).
- Include haddock documentation in interface files for hadrian generated
bindists, including darwin platforms (:ghc-ticket:`22734`).
Core libraries
--------------
- Bump ``bytestring`` to 0.11.4.0.
