Mainly derived Read
-------------------

This commit is a tangle of several things that somehow got wound up
together, I'm afraid.

The main course
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Replace the derived-Read machinery with Koen's cunning new parser
combinator library.   The result should be
* much smaller code sizes from derived Read
* faster execution of derived Read

WARNING: I have not thoroughly tested this stuff; I'd be glad if you did!
 All the hard work is done, but there may be a few nits.

The Read class gets two new methods, not exposed
in the H98 inteface of course:
  class Read a where
    readsPrec    :: Int -> ReadS a
    readList     :: ReadS [a]
    readPrec     :: ReadPrec a -- NEW
    readListPrec :: ReadPrec [a] -- NEW

There are the following new libraries:

  Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP Koens combinator parser
  Text.ParserCombinators.ReadPrec Ditto, but with precedences

  Text.Read.Lex An emasculated lexical analyser
that provides the functionality
of H98 'lex'

TcGenDeriv is changed to generate code that uses the new libraries.
The built-in instances of Read (List, Maybe, tuples, etc) use the new
libraries.

Other stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Some fixes the the plumbing of external-core generation. Sigbjorn
did most of the work earlier, but this commit completes the renaming and
typechecking plumbing.

2. Runtime error-generation functions, such as GHC.Err.recSelErr,
GHC.Err.recUpdErr, etc, now take an Addr#, pointing to a UTF8-encoded
C string, instead of a Haskell string.  This makes the *calls* to these
functions easier to generate, and smaller too, which is a good thing.

In particular, it means that MkId.mkRecordSelectorId doesn't need to
be passed "unpackCStringId", which was GRUESOME; and that in turn means
that tcTypeAndClassDecls doesn't need to be passed unf_env, which is
a very worthwhile cleanup.   Win/win situation.

3.  GHC now faithfully translates do-notation using ">>" for statements
with no binding, just as the report says.  While I was there I tidied
up HsDo to take a list of Ids instead of 3 (but now 4) separate Ids.
Saves a bit of code here and there.  Also introduced Inst.newMethodFromName
to package a common idiom.

Two new scheduler-API primops:

1) GHC.Conc.forkProcess/forkProcess# :: IO Int
   This is a low-level call to fork() to replace Posix.forkProcess().
   In a Concurrent Haskell setting, only the thread invoking forkProcess()
   is alive in the child process. Other threads will be GC'ed!
      This brings the RTS closer to pthreads, where a call to fork()
   doesn't clone any pthreads, either.
      The result is 0 for the child and the child's pid for the parent.
   The primop will barf() when used on mingw32, sorry.

2) GHC.Conc.labelThread/forkProcess# :: String -> IO ()
   Useful for scheduler debugging: If the RTS is compiled with DEBUGging
   support, this primitive assigns a name to the current thread which
   will be used in debugging output (+RTS -D1). For larger applications,
   simply numbering threads is not sufficient.
     Notice: The Haskell side of this call is always available, but if
   you are not compiling with debugging support, the actual primop will
   turn into a no-op.

A glorious improvement to CPR analysis
---------------------------------------

Working on the CPR paper, I finally figured out how to
do a decent job of taking account of strictness analyis when doing
CPR analysis.

There are two places we do that:

1.  Usually, on a letrec for a *thunk* we discard any CPR info from
the RHS.  We can't worker/wrapper a thunk.  BUT, if the let is
non-recursive
non-top-level
used strictly
we don't need to discard the CPR info, because the thunk-splitting
transform (WorkWrap.splitThunk) works.  This idea isn't new in this
commit.

2. Arguments to strict functions.  Consider

  fac n m = if n==0 then m
    else fac (n-1) (m*n)

Does it have the CPR property?  Apparently not, because it returns the
accumulating parameter, m.  But the strictness analyser will
discover that fac is strict in m, so it will be passed unboxed to
the worker for fac.  More concretely, here is the worker/wrapper
split that will result from strictness analysis alone:

  fac n m = case n of MkInt n' ->
    case m of MkInt m' ->
    facw n' m'

  facw n' m' = if n' ==# 0#
       then I# m'
       else facw (n' -# 1#) (m' *# n')

Now facw clearly does have the CPR property!  We can take advantage
of this by giving a demanded lambda the CPR property.

To make this work nicely, I've made NewDemandInfo into Maybe Demand
rather than simply Demand, so that we can tell when we are on the
first iteration.  Lots of comments about this in Note [CPR-AND-STRICTNESS].

I don't know how much all this buys us, but it is simple and elegant.

Put existential tyvars second
[fixes ParsecPerm lint error]
-----------------------------

In an existential data constr:

data Eq a => T a = forall b. Ord b => MkT a [b]

the type of MkT is

MkT :: forall a b . Ord b => a -> [b] -> MkT a

Note that the existential tyvars (b in this case) come *after*
the "ordinary" tyvars.

I had switched this around earlier in the week, but I'm putting
it back (and fixing a bug) because I found it really works better second.

Reason: in a case expression we may find:
case (e :: T t) of { MkT b (d:Ord b) (x:t) (xs:[b]) -> ... }
It's convenient to apply the rep-type of MkT to 't', to get
forall b. Ord b => ...
and use that to check the pattern.  Mind you, this is really only
use in CoreLint.

Fix two nasty, subtle loops in context simplification
-----------------------------------------------------

The context simplifier in TcSimplify was building a recursive
dictionary, which meant the program looped when run.  The reason
was pretty devious; in fact there are two independent causes.

Cause 1
~~~~~~~
Consider
  class Eq b => Foo a b
instance Eq a => Foo [a] a
If we are reducing
d:Foo [t] t
we'll first deduce that it holds (via the instance decl), thus:
d:Foo [t] t = $fFooList deq
deq:Eq t = ...some rhs depending on t...
Now we add d's superclasses.  We must not then overwrite the Eq t
constraint with a superclass selection!!

The only decent way to solve this is to track what dependencies
a binding has; that is what the is_loop parameter to TcSimplify.addSCs
now does.

Cause 2
~~~~~~~
This shows up when simplifying the superclass context of an
instance declaration.  Consider

  class S a

  class S a => C a where { opc :: a -> a }
  class S b => D b where { opd :: b -> b }

  instance C Int where
     opc = opd

  instance D Int where
     opd = opc

From (instance C Int) we get the constraint set {ds1:S Int, dd:D Int}
Simplifying, we may well get:
$dfCInt = :C ds1 (opd dd)
dd  = $dfDInt
ds1 = $p1 dd
Notice that we spot that we can extract ds1 from dd.

Alas!  Alack! We can do the same for (instance D Int):

$dfDInt = :D ds2 (opc dc)
dc  = $dfCInt
ds2 = $p1 dc

And now we've defined the superclass in terms of itself.

Solution: treat the superclass context separately, and simplify it
all the way down to nothing on its own.  Don't toss any 'free' parts
out to be simplified together with other bits of context.

This is done in TcInstDcls.tcSuperClasses, which is well commented.

All this from a bug report from Peter White!

- Reverse the meaning of the *-prefix in the :module and :browse
  commands: '*Foo' now means the full contents of Foo, whereas just
  'Foo' means Foo's exports only.  This seems more intuitive to me,
  but the downside is that ':m Foo' doesn't do the same thing in
  GHC as Hugs (you have to say ':m *Foo' to get Hugs's behaviour).

Sigbjorn's last optimization (checking for -mno-cygwin only for
mingw32 targets) kicked out -O from the default SRC_CC_OPTS. Apart
from a minor performance hit for some parts of GHC, it yields a GHCi
which can't load HSbase_cbits.o because `lstat' is unknown, at least
on SuSE 7.3.

A little investigation showed the rather arcane reason: lstat and
friends are inline functions and therefore not in libc.so, only in its
static counterpart. Normally this is not a problem at all, but the CPP
INLINE trickery in fptools/libraries/base/cbits/PrelIOUtils.c manages
to get a reference to lstat into PrelIOUtils.o if -O is not given. %-}
A similar problem exists for fstat, too.

Simple solution: Re-add -O to SRC_CC_OPTS, simplifying configure.in a
bit on the way.

------------------------------------
Change the treatment of the stupid
   context on data constructors
-----------------------------------

Data types can have a context:

data (Eq a, Ord b) => T a b = T1 a b | T2 a

and that makes the constructors have a context too
(notice that T2's context is "thinned"):

T1 :: (Eq a, Ord b) => a -> b -> T a b
T2 :: (Eq a) => a -> T a b

Furthermore, this context pops up when pattern matching
(though GHC hasn't implemented this, but it is in H98, and
I've fixed GHC so that it now does):

f (T2 x) = x
gets inferred type
f :: Eq a => T a b -> a

I say the context is "stupid" because the dictionaries passed
are immediately discarded -- they do nothing and have no benefit.
It's a flaw in the language.

Up to now I have put this stupid context into the type of
the "wrapper" constructors functions, T1 and T2, but that turned
out to be jolly inconvenient for generics, and record update, and
other functions that build values of type T (because they don't
have suitable dictionaries available).

So now I've taken the stupid context out.  I simply deal with
it separately in the type checker on occurrences of a constructor,
either in an expression or in a pattern.

To this end

* Lots of changes in DataCon, MkId

* New function Inst.tcInstDataCon to instantiate a data constructor

I also took the opportunity to

* Rename
dataConId --> dataConWorkId
  for consistency.

* Tidied up MkId.rebuildConArgs quite a bit, and renamed it
mkReboxingAlt

* Add function DataCon.dataConExistentialTyVars, with the obvious meaning

Sigh, recompilation checking in --make mdoe has been badly broken for
well, probably ever.

The problem is that in GHCi mode there's a restriction on the use of
object files, namely that an object file may only depend on other
up-to-date object files in order to be up-to-date itself, because we
don't have support for linking object code to interpreted code.
Unfortunately we were applying this restriction to --make compilations
too, with the result that far too much recompilation was happening.

Fix 64-bit shift operations.

- Move the declarations of the 64-bit "primops" from PrimOps.h to
  HsBase.h where they more properly belong.

- change the names of the 64-bit shift ops to include the "unchecked"
  prefix

- add checked versions of these primops to GHC.Int and GHC.Word, and
  use them.

- update the FFI declarations in GHC.Int and GHC.Word while I'm there.
