simonpj@microsoft.com [Wed, 3 Jun 2009 09:29:56 +0000 (09:29 +0000)]
Allow RULES for seq, and exploit them

Roman found situations where he had
      case (f n) of _ -> e
where he knew that f (which was strict in n) would terminate if n did.
Notice that the result of (f n) is discarded. So it makes sense to
transform to
      case n of _ -> e

Rather than attempt some general analysis to support this, I've added
enough support that you can do this using a rewrite rule:

  RULE "f/seq" forall n.  seq (f n) e = seq n e

You write that rule.  When GHC sees a case expression that discards
its result, it mentally transforms it to a call to 'seq' and looks for
a RULE.  (This is done in Simplify.rebuildCase.)  As usual, the
correctness of the rule is up to you.

This patch implements the extra stuff.  I have not documented it explicitly
in the user manual yet... let's see how useful it is first.

The patch looks bigger than it is, because
  a) Comments; see esp MkId Note [seqId magic]

  b) Some refactoring.  Notably, I moved the special desugaring for
     seq from MkCore back into DsUtils where it properly belongs.
     (It's really a desugaring thing, not a CoreSyn invariant.)

  c) Annoyingly, in a RULE left-hand side we need to be careful that
     the magical desugaring done in MkId Note [seqId magic] item (c)
     is *not* done on the LHS of a rule. Or rather, we arrange to
     un-do it, in DsBinds.decomposeRuleLhs.

Implement -XMonoLocalBinds: a radical new flag

bindings in let or where clauses, unless there is a type signature,
in which case we use it.

I'm thinking about whether this might actually be a good direction for

is easy to implement (look at how few lines change), and having it
will allow us to experiement with and without.

Just for the record, below are the changes required in the boot

but the changes fall into a few standard patterns, and most represent
(in my opinion) sytlistic improvements.  I will not push these patches,
however.

Fix Trac #3259: expose 'lazy' only after generating interface files

This patch fixes an insidious and long-standing bug in the way that
parallelism is handled in GHC.  See Note [lazyId magic] in MkId.

Here's the diagnosis, copied from the Trac ticket.  par is defined
in GHC.Conc thus:

    {-# INLINE par  #-}
    par :: a -> b -> b
    par  x y = case (par# x) of { _ -> lazy y }

    -- The reason for the strange "lazy" call is that it fools the
    -- compiler into thinking that pseq and par are non-strict in
    -- their second argument (even if it inlines pseq/par at the call
    -- site).  If it thinks par is strict in "y", then it often
    -- evaluates "y" before "x", which is totally wrong.

The function lazy is the identity function, but it is inlined only
after strictness analysis, and (via some magic) pretends to be
lazy. Hence par pretends to be lazy too.

The trouble is that both par and lazy are inlined into your definition
of parallelise, so that the unfolding for parallelise (exposed in
Parallelise.hi) does not use lazy at all. Then when compiling Main,
parallelise is in turn inlined (before strictness analysis), and so
the strictness analyser sees too much.

This was all sloppy thinking on my part. Inlining lazy after
strictness analysis works fine for the current module, but not for
importing modules.

The fix implemented by this patch is to inline 'lazy' in CorePrep,
not in WorkWrap. That way interface files never see the inlined version.

The downside is that a little less optimisation may happen on programs
that use 'lazy'.  And you'll only see this in the results -ddump-prep
not in -ddump-simpl.  So KEEP AN EYE OUT (Simon and Satnam especially).
Still, it should work properly now.  Certainly fixes #3259.
