12 -- This file is processed by the utility program genprimopcode to produce
13 -- a number of include files within the compiler and optionally to produce
14 -- human-readable documentation.
16 -- It should first be preprocessed.
18 -- Information on how PrimOps are implemented and the steps necessary to
19 -- add a new one can be found in the Commentary:
21 -- http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/PrimOps
23 -- This file is divided into named sections, each containing or more
24 -- primop entries. Section headers have the format:
26 -- section "section-name" {description}
28 -- This information is used solely when producing documentation; it is
29 -- otherwise ignored. The description is optional.
31 -- The format of each primop entry is as follows:
33 -- primop internal-name "name-in-program-text" type category {description} attributes
35 -- The default attribute values which apply if you don't specify
36 -- other ones. Attribute values can be True, False, or arbitrary
37 -- text between curly brackets. This is a kludge to enable
38 -- processors of this file to easily get hold of simple info
39 -- (eg, out_of_line), whilst avoiding parsing complex expressions
40 -- needed for strictness info.

50 -- Currently, documentation is produced using latex, so contents of
51 -- description fields should be legal latex. Descriptions can contain
52 -- matched pairs of embedded curly brackets.
56 -- We need platform defines (tests for mingw32 below). However, we only
57 -- test the TARGET platform, which doesn't vary between stages, so the
58 -- stage1 platform defines are fine:

61 section "The word size story."
62 {Haskell98 specifies that signed integers (type {\tt Int})
63 must contain at least 30 bits. GHC always implements {\tt
64 Int} using the primitive type {\tt Int\#}, whose size equals
65 the {\tt MachDeps.h} constant {\tt WORD\_SIZE\_IN\_BITS}.
66 This is normally set based on the {\tt config.h} parameter
67 {\tt SIZEOF\_HSWORD}, i.e., 32 bits on 32-bit machines, 64
68 bits on 64-bit machines. However, it can also be explicitly
69 set to a smaller number, e.g., 31 bits, to allow the
70 possibility of using tag bits. Currently GHC itself has only
71 32-bit and 64-bit variants, but 30 or 31-bit code can be
72 exported as an external core file for use in other back ends.
74 GHC also implements a primitive unsigned integer type {\tt
75 Word\#} which always has the same number of bits as {\tt
78 In addition, GHC supports families of explicit-sized integers
79 and words at 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits, with the usual
80 arithmetic operations, comparisons, and a range of
81 conversions. The 8-bit and 16-bit sizes are always
82 represented as {\tt Int\#} and {\tt Word\#}, and the
83 operations implemented in terms of the the primops on these
84 types, with suitable range restrictions on the results (using
85 the {\tt narrow$n$Int\#} and {\tt narrow$n$Word\#} families
86 of primops. The 32-bit sizes are represented using {\tt
87 Int\#} and {\tt Word\#} when {\tt WORD\_SIZE\_IN\_BITS}
88 $\geq$ 32; otherwise, these are represented using distinct
89 primitive types {\tt Int32\#} and {\tt Word32\#}. These (when
90 needed) have a complete set of corresponding operations;
91 however, nearly all of these are implemented as external C
92 functions rather than as primops. Exactly the same story
93 applies to the 64-bit sizes. All of these details are hidden
94 under the {\tt PrelInt} and {\tt PrelWord} modules, which use
95 {\tt \#if}-defs to invoke the appropriate types and
98 Word size also matters for the families of primops for
99 indexing/reading/writing fixed-size quantities at offsets
100 from an array base, address, or foreign pointer. Here, a
101 slightly different approach is taken. The names of these
102 primops are fixed, but their {\it types} vary according to
103 the value of {\tt WORD\_SIZE\_IN\_BITS}. For example, if word
104 size is at least 32 bits then an operator like
105 \texttt{indexInt32Array\#} has type {\tt ByteArray\# -> Int\#
106 -> Int\#}; otherwise it has type {\tt ByteArray\# -> Int\# ->
107 Int32\#}. This approach confines the necessary {\tt
108 \#if}-defs to this file; no conditional compilation is needed
109 in the files that expose these primops.
111 Finally, there are strongly deprecated primops for coercing
112 between {\tt Addr\#}, the primitive type of machine
113 addresses, and {\tt Int\#}. These are pretty bogus anyway,
114 but will work on existing 32-bit and 64-bit GHC targets; they
115 are completely bogus when tag bits are used in {\tt Int\#},
116 so are not available in this case. }

182 On a 32-bit platform, the recommmended implementation is to do a
183 32 x 32 -> 64 signed multiply, and subtract result[63:32] from
184 (result[31] >>signed 31). If this is zero, meaning that the
185 upper word is merely a sign extension of the lower one, no
188 On a 64-bit platform it is not always possible to
189 acquire the top 64 bits of the result. Therefore, a recommended
190 implementation is to take the absolute value of both operands, and
191 return 0 iff bits[63:31] of them are zero, since that means that their
192 magnitudes fit within 31 bits, so the magnitude of the product must fit
195 If in doubt, return non-zero, but do make an effort to create the

1681 { Evaluates its first argument to head normal form, and then returns its second
1682 argument as the result. }
1686 { The call {\tt (inline f)} arranges that f is inlined, regardless of its size.
1687 More precisely, the call {\tt (inline f)} rewrites to the right-hand side of
1688 {\tt f}'s definition. This allows the programmer to control inlining from a
1689 particular call site rather than the definition site of the function (c.f.
1690 {\tt INLINE} pragmas in User's Guide, Section 7.10.3, "INLINE and NOINLINE
1693 This inlining occurs regardless of the argument to the call or the size of
1694 {\tt f}'s definition; it is unconditional. The main caveat is that {\tt f}'s
1695 definition must be visible to the compiler. That is, {\tt f} must be
1696 {\tt let}-bound in the current scope. If no inlining takes place, the
1697 {\tt inline} function expands to the identity function in Phase zero; so its
1698 use imposes no overhead.
1700 It is good practice to mark the function with an INLINABLE pragma at
1701 its definition, (a) so that GHC guarantees to expose its unfolding regardless
1702 of size, and (b) so that you have control over exactly what is inlined. }
1706 { The {\tt lazy} function restrains strictness analysis a little. The call
1707 {\tt (lazy e)} means the same as {\tt e}, but {\tt lazy} has a magical
1708 property so far as strictness analysis is concerned: it is lazy in its first
1709 argument, even though its semantics is strict. After strictness analysis has
1710 run, calls to {\tt lazy} are inlined to be the identity function.
1712 This behaviour is occasionally useful when controlling evaluation order.
1713 Notably, {\tt lazy} is used in the library definition of {\tt Control.Parallel.par}:
1715 {\tt par :: a -> b -> b}
1717 {\tt par x y = case (par\# x) of \_ -> lazy y}
1719 If {\tt lazy} were not lazy, {\tt par} would look strict in {\tt y} which
1720 would defeat the whole purpose of {\tt par}.
1722 Like {\tt seq}, the argument of {\tt lazy} can have an unboxed type. }
1725 { The type constructor {\tt Any} is type to which you can unsafely coerce any
1726 lifted type, and back.
1728 * It is lifted, and hence represented by a pointer
1730 * It does not claim to be a {\it data} type, and that's important for
1731 the code generator, because the code gen may {\it enter} a data value
1732 but never enters a function value.
1734 It's also used to instantiate un-constrained type variables after type
1735 checking. For example
1739 Annoyingly, we sometimes need {\tt Any}s of other kinds, such as {\tt (* -> *)} etc.
1740 This is a bit like tuples. We define a couple of useful ones here,
1741 and make others up on the fly. If any of these others end up being exported
1742 into interface files, we'll get a crash; at least until we add interface-file
1743 syntax to support them. }
1745 pseudoop "unsafeCoerce#"
1747 { The function {\tt unsafeCoerce\#} allows you to side-step the typechecker entirely. That
1748 is, it allows you to coerce any type into any other type. If you use this function,
1749 you had better get it right, otherwise segmentation faults await. It is generally
1750 used when you want to write a program that you know is well-typed, but where Haskell's
1751 type system is not expressive enough to prove that it is well typed.
1753 The following uses of {\tt unsafeCoerce\#} are supposed to work (i.e. not lead to
1754 spurious compile-time or run-time crashes):
1756 * Casting any lifted type to {\tt Any}
1758 * Casting {\tt Any} back to the real type
1760 * Casting an unboxed type to another unboxed type of the same size
1761 (but not coercions between floating-point and integral types)
1763 * Casting between two types that have the same runtime representation. One case is when
1764 the two types differ only in "phantom" type parameters, for example
1765 {\tt Ptr Int} to {\tt Ptr Float}, or {\tt [Int]} to {\tt [Float]} when the list is
1766 known to be empty. Also, a {\tt newtype} of a type {\tt T} has the same representation
1767 at runtime as {\tt T}.
1769 Other uses of {\tt unsafeCoerce\#} are undefined. In particular, you should not use
1770 {\tt unsafeCoerce\#} to cast a T to an algebraic data type D, unless T is also
1771 an algebraic data type. For example, do not cast {\tt Int->Int} to {\tt Bool}, even if
1772 you later cast that {\tt Bool} back to {\tt Int->Int} before applying it. The reasons
1773 have to do with GHC's internal representation details (for the congnoscenti, data values
1774 can be entered but function closures cannot). If you want a safe type to cast things
1775 to, use {\tt Any}, which is not an algebraic data type.
1779 -- NB. It is tempting to think that casting a value to a type that it doesn't have is safe
1780 -- as long as you don't "do anything" with the value in its cast form, such as seq on it. This
1781 -- isn't the case: the compiler can insert seqs itself, and if these happen at the wrong type,
1782 -- Bad Things Might Happen. See bug #1616: in this case we cast a function of type (a,b) -> (a,b)
1783 -- to () -> () and back again. The strictness analyser saw that the function was strict, but
1784 -- the wrapper had type () -> (), and hence the wrapper de-constructed the (), the worker re-constructed
1785 -- a new (), with the result that the code ended up with "case () of (a,b) -> ...".
