The Big INLINE Patch: totally reorganise way that INLINE pragmas work

This patch has been a long time in gestation and has, as a
result, accumulated some extra bits and bobs that are only
loosely related.  I separated the bits that are easy to split
off, but the rest comes as one big patch, I'm afraid.

Note that:
 * It comes together with a patch to the 'base' library
 * Interface file formats change slightly, so you need to
   recompile all libraries

The patch is mainly giant tidy-up, driven in part by the
particular stresses of the Data Parallel Haskell project. I don't
expect a big performance win for random programs.  Still, here are the
nofib results, relative to the state of affairs without the patch

        Program           Size    Allocs   Runtime   Elapsed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Min         -12.7%    -14.5%    -17.5%    -17.8%
            Max          +4.7%    +10.9%     +9.1%     +8.4%
 Geometric Mean          +0.9%     -0.1%     -5.6%     -7.3%

The +10.9% allocation outlier is rewrite, which happens to have a
very delicate optimisation opportunity involving an interaction
of CSE and inlining (see nofib/Simon-nofib-notes). The fact that
the 'before' case found the optimisation is somewhat accidental.
Runtimes seem to go down, but I never kno wwhether to really trust
this number.  Binary sizes wobble a bit, but nothing drastic.

The Main Ideas are as follows.

InlineRules
~~~~~~~~~~~
When you say
      {-# INLINE f #-}
      f x = <rhs>
you intend that calls (f e) are replaced by <rhs>[e/x] So we
should capture (\x.<rhs>) in the Unfolding of 'f', and never meddle
with it.  Meanwhile, we can optimise <rhs> to our heart's content,
leaving the original unfolding intact in Unfolding of 'f'.

So the representation of an Unfolding has changed quite a bit
(see CoreSyn).  An INLINE pragma gives rise to an InlineRule
unfolding.

Moreover, it's only used when 'f' is applied to the
specified number of arguments; that is, the number of argument on
the LHS of the '=' sign in the original source definition.
For example, (.) is now defined in the libraries like this
   {-# INLINE (.) #-}
   (.) f g = \x -> f (g x)
so that it'll inline when applied to two arguments. If 'x' appeared
on the left, thus
   (.) f g x = f (g x)
it'd only inline when applied to three arguments.  This slightly-experimental
change was requested by Roman, but it seems to make sense.

Other associated changes

* Moving the deck chairs in DsBinds, which processes the INLINE pragmas

* In the old system an INLINE pragma made the RHS look like
   (Note InlineMe <rhs>)
  The Note switched off optimisation in <rhs>.  But it was quite
  fragile in corner cases. The new system is more robust, I believe.
  In any case, the InlineMe note has disappeared

* The workerInfo of an Id has also been combined into its Unfolding,
  so it's no longer a separate field of the IdInfo.

* Many changes in CoreUnfold, esp in callSiteInline, which is the critical
  function that decides which function to inline.  Lots of comments added!

* exprIsConApp_maybe has moved to CoreUnfold, since it's so strongly
  associated with "does this expression unfold to a constructor application".
  It can now do some limited beta reduction too, which Roman found
  was an important.

Instance declarations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's always been tricky to get the dfuns generated from instance
declarations to work out well.  This is particularly important in
the Data Parallel Haskell project, and I'm now on my fourth attempt,
more or less.

There is a detailed description in TcInstDcls, particularly in
Note [How instance declarations are translated].   Roughly speaking
we now generate a top-level helper function for every method definition
in an instance declaration, so that the dfun takes a particularly
stylised form:
  dfun a d1 d2 = MkD (op1 a d1 d2) (op2 a d1 d2) ...etc...

In fact, it's *so* stylised that we never need to unfold a dfun.
Instead ClassOps have a special rewrite rule that allows us to
short-cut dictionary selection.  Suppose dfun :: Ord a -> Ord [a]
                                            d :: Ord a
Then
    compare (dfun a d)  -->   compare_list a d
in one rewrite, without first inlining the 'compare' selector
and the body of the dfun.

To support this
a) ClassOps have a BuiltInRule (see MkId.dictSelRule)
b) DFuns have a special form of unfolding (CoreSyn.DFunUnfolding)
   which is exploited in CoreUnfold.exprIsConApp_maybe

Implmenting all this required a root-and-branch rework of TcInstDcls
and bits of TcClassDcl.

Default methods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you give an INLINE pragma to a default method, it should be just
as if you'd written out that code in each instance declaration, including
the INLINE pragma.  I think that it now *is* so.  As a result, library
code can be simpler; less duplication.

The CONLIKE pragma
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the DPH project, Roman found cases where he had

   p n k = let x = replicate n k
           in ...(f x)...(g x)....

   {-# RULE f (replicate x) = f_rep x #-}

Normally the RULE would not fire, because doing so involves
(in effect) duplicating the redex (replicate n k).  A new
experimental modifier to the INLINE pragma, {-# INLINE CONLIKE
replicate #-}, allows you to tell GHC to be prepared to duplicate
a call of this function if it allows a RULE to fire.

See Note [CONLIKE pragma] in BasicTypes

See Note [Case binders and join points] in Simplify

Other refactoring
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* I moved endPass from CoreLint to CoreMonad, with associated jigglings

* Better pretty-printing of Core

* The top-level RULES (ones that are not rules for locally-defined things)
  are now substituted on every simplifier iteration.  I'm not sure how
  we got away without doing this before.  This entails a bit more plumbing
  in SimplCore.

* The necessary stuff to serialise and deserialise the new
  info across interface files.

* Something about bottoming floats in SetLevels
      Note [Bottoming floats]

* substUnfolding has moved from SimplEnv to CoreSubs, where it belongs

simonpj@microsoft.com [Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:35:54 +0000 (13:35 +0000)]
Add 'rec' to stmts in a 'do', and deprecate 'mdo'

The change is this (see Trac #2798).  Instead of writing

  mdo { a <- getChar
      ; b <- f c
      ; c <- g b
      ; putChar c
      ; return b }

you would write

  do { a <- getChar
     ; rec { b <- f c
           ; c <- g b }
     ; putChar c
     ; return b }

That is,
  * 'mdo' is eliminated
  * 'rec' is added, which groups a bunch of statements
    into a single recursive statement

This 'rec' thing is already present for the arrow notation, so it
makes the two more uniform.  Moreover, 'rec' lets you say more
precisely where the recursion is (if you want to), whereas 'mdo' just
says "there's recursion here somewhere".  Lastly, all this works with
rebindable syntax (which mdo does not).

Currently 'mdo' is enabled by -XRecursiveDo.  So we now deprecate this
flag, with another flag -XDoRec to enable the 'rec' keyword.

Implementation notes:
  * Some changes in Lexer.x
  * All uses of RecStmt now use record syntax

I'm still not really happy with the "rec_ids" and "later_ids" in the
RecStmt constructor, but I don't dare change it without consulting Ross
about the consequences for arrow syntax.
