Synopsis

Main data types

data Expr b Source #

This is the data type that represents GHCs core intermediate language. Currently GHC uses System FC https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/system-f-with-type-equality-coercions/ for this purpose, which is closely related to the simpler and better known System F http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_F.

We get from Haskell source to this Core language in a number of stages:

  1. The source code is parsed into an abstract syntax tree, which is represented by the data type HsExpr with the names being RdrNames
  2. This syntax tree is renamed, which attaches a Unique to every RdrName (yielding a Name) to disambiguate identifiers which are lexically identical. For example, this program:
     f x = let f x = x + 1
           in f (x - 2)

Would be renamed by having Uniques attached so it looked something like this:

     f_1 x_2 = let f_3 x_4 = x_4 + 1
               in f_3 (x_2 - 2)

But see Note [Shadowing] below.

  1. The resulting syntax tree undergoes type checking (which also deals with instantiating type class arguments) to yield a HsExpr type that has Id as it's names.
  2. Finally the syntax tree is desugared from the expressive HsExpr type into this Expr type, which has far fewer constructors and hence is easier to perform optimization, analysis and code generation on.

The type parameter b is for the type of binders in the expression tree.

The language consists of the following elements:

  • Variables
  • Primitive literals
  • Applications: note that the argument may be a Expr. See Note [CoreSyn let/app invariant] See Note [Levity polymorphism invariants]
  • Lambda abstraction See Note [Levity polymorphism invariants]
  • Recursive and non recursive lets. Operationally this corresponds to allocating a thunk for the things bound and then executing the sub-expression.

The right hand sides of all top-level and recursive lets must be of lifted type (see Type for the meaning of lifted vs. unlifted). There is one exception to this rule, top-level lets are allowed to bind primitive string literals, see Note [CoreSyn top-level string literals].

See Note [CoreSyn let/app invariant] See Note [Levity polymorphism invariants]

We allow a non-recursive let to bind a type variable, thus:

Let (NonRec tv (Type ty)) body

This can be very convenient for postponing type substitutions until the next run of the simplifier.

At the moment, the rest of the compiler only deals with type-let in a Let expression, rather than at top level. We may want to revist this choice.

  • Case expression. Operationally this corresponds to evaluating the scrutinee (expression examined) to weak head normal form and then examining at most one level of resulting constructor (i.e. you cannot do nested pattern matching directly with this).

The binder gets bound to the value of the scrutinee, and the Expr must be that of all the case alternatives

This is one of the more complicated elements of the Core language, and comes with a number of restrictions:

  1. The list of alternatives may be empty; See Note [Empty case alternatives]
  2. The DEFAULT case alternative must be first in the list, if it occurs at all.
  3. The remaining cases are in order of increasing tag (for DataAlts) or lit (for LitAlts). This makes finding the relevant constructor easy, and makes comparison easier too.
  4. The list of alternatives must be exhaustive. An exhaustive case does not necessarily mention all constructors:
           data Foo = Red | Green | Blue
      ... case x of
           Red   -> True
           other -> f (case x of
                           Green -> ...
                           Blue  -> ... ) ...
      

The inner case does not need a Red alternative, because x can't be Red at that program point.

  1. Floating-point values must not be scrutinised against literals. See Trac #9238 and Note [Rules for floating-point comparisons] in PrelRules for rationale.
  • Cast an expression to a particular type. This is used to implement newtypes (a newtype constructor or destructor just becomes a Cast in Core) and GADTs.
  • Notes. These allow general information to be added to expressions in the syntax tree
  • A type: this should only show up at the top level of an Arg
  • A coercion

data Tickish id Source #

Allows attaching extra information to points in expressions

Constructors

ProfNote

An {--} profiling annotation, either automatically added by the desugarer as a result of -auto-all, or added by the user.

Fields

HpcTick

A "tick" used by HPC to track the execution of each subexpression in the original source code.

Fields

Breakpoint

A breakpoint for the GHCi debugger. This behaves like an HPC tick, but has a list of free variables which will be available for inspection in GHCi when the program stops at the breakpoint.

NB. we must take account of these Ids when (a) counting free variables, and (b) substituting (don't substitute for them)

Fields

  • breakpointId :: !Int
     
  • breakpointFVs :: [id]

    the order of this list is important: it matches the order of the lists in the appropriate entry in HscTypes.ModBreaks.

    Careful about substitution! See Note [substTickish] in CoreSubst.

SourceNote

A source note.

Source notes are pure annotations: Their presence should neither influence compilation nor execution. The semantics are given by causality: The presence of a source note means that a local change in the referenced source code span will possibly provoke the generated code to change. On the flip-side, the functionality of annotated code *must* be invariant against changes to all source code *except* the spans referenced in the source notes (see "Causality of optimized Haskell" paper for details).

Therefore extending the scope of any given source note is always valid. Note that it is still undesirable though, as this reduces their usefulness for debugging and profiling. Therefore we will generally try only to make use of this property where it is necessary to enable optimizations.

data TickishScoping Source #

Specifies the scoping behaviour of ticks. This governs the behaviour of ticks that care about the covered code and the cost associated with it. Important for ticks relating to profiling.

Constructors

NoScope

No scoping: The tick does not care about what code it covers. Transformations can freely move code inside as well as outside without any additional annotation obligations

SoftScope

Soft scoping: We want all code that is covered to stay covered. Note that this scope type does not forbid transformations from happening, as long as all results of the transformations are still covered by this tick or a copy of it. For example

let x = tick... (let y = foo in bar) in baz ===> let x = tick... bar; y = tick... foo in baz

Is a valid transformation as far as "bar" and "foo" is concerned, because both still are scoped over by the tick.

Note though that one might object to the "let" not being covered by the tick any more. However, we are generally lax with this - constant costs don't matter too much, and given that the "let" was effectively merged we can view it as having lost its identity anyway.

Also note that this scoping behaviour allows floating a tick "upwards" in pretty much any situation. For example:

case foo of x -> tick... bar ==> tick... case foo of x -> bar

While this is always leagl, we want to make a best effort to only make us of this where it exposes transformation opportunities.

CostCentreScope

Cost centre scoping: We don't want any costs to move to other cost-centre stacks. This means we not only want no code or cost to get moved out of their cost centres, but we also object to code getting associated with new cost-centre ticks - or changing the order in which they get applied.

A rule of thumb is that we don't want any code to gain new annotations. However, there are notable exceptions, for example:

let f = y -> foo in tick... ... (f x) ... ==> tick... ... foo[x/y] ...

In-lining lambdas like this is always legal, because inlining a function does not change the cost-centre stack when the function is called.

data TickishPlacement Source #

Governs the kind of expression that the tick gets placed on when annotating for example using mkTick. If we find that we want to put a tickish on an expression ruled out here, we try to float it inwards until we find a suitable expression.

Constructors

PlaceRuntime

Place ticks exactly on run-time expressions. We can still move the tick through pure compile-time constructs such as other ticks, casts or type lambdas. This is the most restrictive placement rule for ticks, as all tickishs have in common that they want to track runtime processes. The only legal placement rule for counting ticks.

PlaceNonLam

As PlaceRuntime, but we float the tick through all lambdas. This makes sense where there is little difference between annotating the lambda and annotating the lambda's code.

PlaceCostCentre

In addition to floating through lambdas, cost-centre style tickishs can also be moved from constructors, non-function variables and literals. For example:

let x = scc... C (scc... y) (scc... 3) in ...

Neither the constructor application, the variable or the literal are likely to have any cost worth mentioning. And even if y names a thunk, the call would not care about the evaluation context. Therefore removing all annotations in the above example is safe.

Tick-related functions

tickishCounts :: Tickish id -> Bool Source #

A "counting tick" (where tickishCounts is True) is one that counts evaluations in some way. We cannot discard a counting tick, and the compiler should preserve the number of counting ticks as far as possible.

However, we still allow the simplifier to increase or decrease sharing, so in practice the actual number of ticks may vary, except that we never change the value from zero to non-zero or vice versa.

tickishScoped :: Tickish id -> TickishScoping Source #

Returns the intended scoping rule for a Tickish

tickishScopesLike :: Tickish id -> TickishScoping -> Bool Source #

Returns whether the tick scoping rule is at least as permissive as the given scoping rule.

tickishFloatable :: Tickish id -> Bool Source #

Returns True for ticks that can be floated upwards easily even where it might change execution counts, such as:

Just (tick... foo) ==> tick... (Just foo)

This is a combination of tickishSoftScope and tickishCounts. Note that in principle splittable ticks can become floatable using mkNoTick -- even though there's currently no tickish for which that is the case.

tickishCanSplit :: Tickish id -> Bool Source #

Returns True for a tick that is both counting and scoping and can be split into its (tick, scope) parts using mkNoScope and mkNoTick respectively.

tickishIsCode :: Tickish id -> Bool Source #

Return True if this source annotation compiles to some backend code. Without this flag, the tickish is seen as a simple annotation that does not have any associated evaluation code.

What this means that we are allowed to disregard the tick if doing so means that we can skip generating any code in the first place. A typical example is top-level bindings:

foo = tick... y -> ... ==> foo = y -> tick... ...

Here there is just no operational difference between the first and the second version. Therefore code generation should simply translate the code as if it found the latter.

tickishPlace :: Tickish id -> TickishPlacement Source #

Placement behaviour we want for the ticks

tickishContains :: Eq b => Tickish b -> Tickish b -> Bool Source #

Returns whether one tick "contains" the other one, therefore making the second tick redundant.

Unfolding data types

data Unfolding Source #

Records the unfolding of an identifier, which is approximately the form the identifier would have if we substituted its definition in for the identifier. This type should be treated as abstract everywhere except in CoreUnfold

Constructors

NoUnfolding

We have no information about the unfolding.

BootUnfolding

We have no information about the unfolding, because this Id came from an hi-boot file. See Note [Inlining and hs-boot files] in ToIface for what this is used for.

OtherCon [AltCon]

It ain't one of these constructors. OtherCon xs also indicates that something has been evaluated and hence there's no point in re-evaluating it. OtherCon [] is used even for non-data-type values to indicated evaluated-ness. Notably:

data C = C !(Int -> Int)
case x of { C f -> ... }

Here, f gets an OtherCon [] unfolding.

DFunUnfolding 

Fields

CoreUnfolding

An unfolding with redundant cached information. Parameters:

uf_tmpl: Template used to perform unfolding; NB: Occurrence info is guaranteed correct: see Note [OccInfo in unfoldings and rules]

uf_is_top: Is this a top level binding?

uf_is_value: exprIsHNF template (cached); it is ok to discard a seq on this variable

uf_is_work_free: Does this waste only a little work if we expand it inside an inlining? Basically this is a cached version of exprIsWorkFree

uf_guidance: Tells us about the size of the unfolding template

unfoldingTemplate :: Unfolding -> CoreExpr Source #

Retrieves the template of an unfolding: panics if none is known

maybeUnfoldingTemplate :: Unfolding -> Maybe CoreExpr Source #

Retrieves the template of an unfolding if possible maybeUnfoldingTemplate is used mainly wnen specialising, and we do want to specialise DFuns, so it's important to return a template for DFunUnfoldings

otherCons :: Unfolding -> [AltCon] Source #

The constructors that the unfolding could never be: returns [] if no information is available

isValueUnfolding :: Unfolding -> Bool Source #

Determines if it is certainly the case that the unfolding will yield a value (something in HNF): returns False if unsure

isEvaldUnfolding :: Unfolding -> Bool Source #

Determines if it possibly the case that the unfolding will yield a value. Unlike isValueUnfolding it returns True for OtherCon

isCheapUnfolding :: Unfolding -> Bool Source #

Is the thing we will unfold into certainly cheap?

isConLikeUnfolding :: Unfolding -> Bool Source #

True if the unfolding is a constructor application, the application of a CONLIKE function or OtherCon

hasSomeUnfolding :: Unfolding -> Bool Source #

Only returns False if there is no unfolding information available at all

Core rule data types

data CoreRule Source #

A CoreRule is:

  • "Local" if the function it is a rule for is defined in the same module as the rule itself.
  • "Orphan" if nothing on the LHS is defined in the same module as the rule itself

Constructors

Rule 

Fields

  • ru_name :: RuleName

    Name of the rule, for communication with the user

  • ru_act :: Activation

    When the rule is active

  • ru_fn :: Name

    Name of the Id at the head of this rule

  • ru_rough :: [Maybe Name]

    Name at the head of each argument to the left hand side

  • ru_bndrs :: [CoreBndr]

    Variables quantified over

  • ru_args :: [CoreExpr]

    Left hand side arguments

  • ru_rhs :: CoreExpr

    Right hand side of the rule Occurrence info is guaranteed correct See Note [OccInfo in unfoldings and rules]

  • ru_auto :: Bool

    True = this rule is auto-generated (notably by Specialise or SpecConstr) False = generated at the user's behest See Note [Trimming auto-rules] in TidyPgm for the sole purpose of this field.

  • ru_origin :: !Module

    Module the rule was defined in, used to test if we should see an orphan rule.

  • ru_orphan :: !IsOrphan

    Whether or not the rule is an orphan.

  • ru_local :: Bool

    True iff the fn at the head of the rule is defined in the same module as the rule and is not an implicit Id (like a record selector, class operation, or data constructor). This is different from ru_orphan, where a rule can avoid being an orphan if *any* Name in LHS of the rule was defined in the same module as the rule.

BuiltinRule

Built-in rules are used for constant folding and suchlike. They have no free variables. A built-in rule is always visible (there is no such thing as an orphan built-in rule.)

Fields

  • ru_name :: RuleName

    Name of the rule, for communication with the user

  • ru_fn :: Name

    Name of the Id at the head of this rule

  • ru_nargs :: Int

    Number of arguments that ru_try consumes, if it fires, including type arguments

  • ru_try :: RuleFun

    This function does the rewrite. It given too many arguments, it simply discards them; the returned CoreExpr is just the rewrite of ru_fn applied to the first ru_nargs args

Instances
