Basic heap profile support without -prof

Now that constructor info tables contain the name of the constructor,
we can generate useful heap profiles without requiring the whole
program and libraries to be compiled with -prof.  So now, "+RTS -hT"
generates a heap profile for any program, dividing the profile by
constructor.  It wouldn't be hard to add support for grouping
constructors by module, or to restrict the profile to certain
constructors/modules/packages.

This means that for the first time we can get heap profiles for GHCi,
which was previously impossible because the byte-code
interpreter and linker don't work with -prof.

Avoid segfault when ticky file argument is stderr

If you compiled a program with -ticky and ran it with:
./foo +RTS -rstderr -RTS

mean "use debugBelch to print out messages," and sets the ticky file pointer
to NULL as a result, but PrintTickyInfo (the function in Ticky.c that prints

17 years agoRe-working of the breakpoint support
Simon Marlow [Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:24:58 +0000 (14:24 +0000)]
Re-working of the breakpoint support

This is the result of Bernie Pope's internship work at MSR Cambridge,
with some subsequent improvements by me.  The main plan was to

 (a) Reduce the overhead for breakpoints, so we could enable
     the feature by default without incurrent a significant penalty
 (b) Scatter more breakpoint sites throughout the code

Currently we can set a breakpoint on almost any subexpression, and the
overhead is around 1.5x slower than normal GHCi.  I hope to be able to
get this down further and/or allow breakpoints to be turned off.

This patch also fixes up :print following the recent changes to
constructor info tables.  (most of the :print tests now pass)

We now support single-stepping, which just enables all breakpoints.

  :step <expr>     executes <expr> with single-stepping turned on
  :step            single-steps from the current breakpoint

The mechanism is quite different to the previous implementation.  We
share code with the HPC (haskell program coverage) implementation now.
The coverage pass annotates source code with "tick" locations which
are tracked by the coverage tool.  In GHCi, each "tick" becomes a
potential breakpoint location.

Previously breakpoints were compiled into code that magically invoked
a nested instance of GHCi.  Now, a breakpoint causes the current
thread to block and control is returned to GHCi.
