ghc 8.4.1 and trac 13930

I recently noticed that with -O1, ghc was optimizing some code if Trace.traceShowId "b" $ True then return $ Left $ Serialize.BadMagic (Serialize.magicBytes magic) file_magic else first Serialize.UnserializeError <$> Exception.evaluate (Serialize.decode rest) to always

I'm afraid I don't know a quick answer to that one. Does anyone else? If no one answers, write back in a few days and I'll look into it. Richard > On May 1, 2018, at 3:09 AM, alice wrote: > > Thanks a lot, this helped! > > But sorry for asking, before this problem

The ghc-proposals repository does not have the issue tracker enabled, so it's currently impossible to open an issue. On Tuesday, May 1, 2018 3:31:24 PM EDT Joachim Breitner wrote: > Hi, > > the distiction between an issue and a pull request is a rather thin > one, and the Github API actually

Re: Open up the issues tracker on ghc-proposals

I suppose that would be a reasonable alternative. But to keep discussion tracking reasonable, I suspect it would be best to close the pre-proposal PR and open a new one (with mutual links) for the actual proposal if and when the time comes. On Tue, May 1, 2018, 3:24 PM Richard Eisenberg

Re: Open up the issues tracker on ghc-proposals

I like this idea, but I think this can be done as a PR, which seems a better fit for collaborative building. The author can specify that a proposal is a "pre-proposal", with the goal of fleshing it out before committee submission. If it becomes necessary, we can furnish a tag to label these,

Re: Scavenging SRTs in scavenge_one

Your explanation is basically right. scavenge_one() is only used for a non-major collection, where we aren't traversing SRTs. Admittedly this is a subtle point that could almost certainly be documented better, I probably just overlooked it. More inline: On 1 May 2018 at 10:26, Ömer Sinan Ağacan

Open up the issues tracker on ghc-proposals

Sometimes, a language extension idea could benefit from some community discussion before it's ready for a formal proposal. I'd like to propose that we open up the GitHub issues tracker for ghc-proposals to serve as a place to discuss pre-proposal ideas. Once those discussions converge on one or a

Testsuite wobbles

Friends I'm seeing test-suite wobbles like these: Unexpected failures: /tmp/ghctest-9ez8i8lx/test spaces/./ghci.debugger/scripts/break006.run break006 [bad stdout] (ghci) /tmp/ghctest-9ez8i8lx/test spaces/./ghci.debugger/scripts/hist001.run hist001 [bad stdout] (ghci)

Re: Scavenging SRTs in scavenge_one

I have an idea but it doesn't explain everything; SRTs are used to collect CAFs, and CAFs are always added to the oldest generation's mut_list when allocated [1]. When we're scavenging a mut_list we know we're not doing a major GC, and because mut_list of oldest generation has all the newly

Re: Poly-kinded type family

Thanks a lot, this helped! But sorry for asking, before this problem I evaluated Cmp on some values with * kinds, and I used (mkTemplateAnonTyConBinders [ liftedTypeKind, liftedTypeKind ]) to make the input kinds for TyCon. Changing function to mkTemplateTyConBinders (right now this part looks
