Hi Simon, Matt & others,

It took me until now to be able to try out GHC HEAD, mostly because I had to 
adapt to all the GHC.Unit.* refactorings. However, now I am on 
a466b02492f73a43c6cb9ce69491fc85234b9559 which includes the commit Simon 
pointed out. My original plan was to expose the first half of specProgram, i.e. 
the part that calls `go binds`. I did that because I want to apply 
specialisation on collected whole-program Core, not just whatever would be in 
scope for a Core-to-Core plugin pass, so I am not writing a CoreM and I don't 
even have a ModGuts at hand.

However, I found out from Matt's email on this thread that this is not going to 
be enough and eventually I'll need to figure out how I intend to apply the 
rewrite rules that come out of this. So for now, I am just turning on 
specialization in the normal pipeline by setting Opt_Specialise, 
Opt_SpecialiseAggressively, and Opt_CrossModuleSpecialise. And I'm still not 
seeing $dm>> being specialized.

Is this because I define each of "class Monad", "data IO a", "instance Monad 
IO", and "main", in four distinct modules? In other words, is this something I 
will not be able to try out until I figure out how to make a fake ModGuts and 
run a CoreM from outside the normal compilation pipeline, feeding it the 
whole-program collected CoreBinds? But if so, why is it that when I feed my 
whole program to just specBinds (which I can try easily since it has no 
ModGuts/CoreM dependency other than a uniq supply and the CoreProgram), I get 
back an empty UsageDetails?

Thanks,
Gergo

For reference, the relevant definitions dumped from GHC with specialization 
(supposedly) turned on:

main = $fMonadIO_$c>> @() @() sat_sJg xmain

$fMonadIO_$c>> :: forall a b. IO a -> IO b -> IO b
$fMonadIO_$c>> = \ (@a_aF9) (@b_aFa) -> $dm>> @IO $fMonadIO @a_aF9 @b_aFa;

$dm>> :: forall (m :: Type -> Type) a b. Monad m => m a -> m b -> m b
$dm>>
  = \ (@(m_ani :: Type -> Type))
      ($dMonad_sIi [Occ=Once1] :: Monad m_ani)
      (@a_ar4)
      (@b_ar5)
      (ma_sIj [Occ=Once1] :: m_ani a_ar4)
      (mb_sIk [Occ=OnceL1] :: m_ani b_ar5) ->
      let {
        sat_sIm [Occ=Once1] :: a_ar4 -> m_ani b_ar5
        [LclId]
        sat_sIm = \ _ [Occ=Dead] -> mb_sIk } in
      >>= @m_ani $dMonad_sIi @a_ar4 @b_ar5 ma_sIj sat_sIm

Indeed, I am using 9.0.1. I'll try upgrading. Thanks!

Grego,

Yes I think that should auto-specialise.

Which version of GHC are you using?   Do you have this patch?


commit ef0135934fe32da5b5bb730dbce74262e23e72e8

    Make the specialiser handle polymorphic specialisation


Here's why I ask.  The call

$fMonadIO_$c>> = \ (@a) (@b) -> $dm>> @IO $fMonadIO @a @b

indeed applies $dm>> to $fMonadIO, but it also applies it to a and b.  In the 
version of GHC you have, maybe that stops the call from floating up to the 
definition site, and being used to specialise it.

Can you make a repro case without your plugin?

Simon
