The conventional \tr{#}-for- unboxed ops is added on later. The reason for the funny characters in the names is so we do not interfere with the programmer's Haskell name spaces. We use @PrimKinds@ for the ``type'' information, because they're (slightly) more convenient to use than @TyCons@. \begin{code}
data PrimOpInfo
  = Dyadic      OccName         -- string :: T -> T -> T
                Type
  | Monadic     OccName         -- string :: T -> T
                Type
  | Compare     OccName         -- string :: T -> T -> Bool
                Type

mkGenPrimOp str tvs tys ty = GenPrimOp (mkVarOccFS str) tvs tys ty
\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * \subsubsection{Strictness} %* * %************************************************************************ Not all primops are strict! \begin{code}
primOpStrictness :: PrimOp -> Arity -> StrictSig
        -- See Demand.StrictnessInfo for discussion of what the results
        -- The arity should be the arity of the primop; that's why
        -- this function isn't exported.
#include "primop-strictness.hs-incl"
\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * \subsubsection[PrimOp-comparison]{PrimOpInfo basic comparison ops} %* * %************************************************************************ @primOpInfo@ gives all essential information (from which everything else, notably a type, can be constructed) for each @PrimOp@. \begin{code}
primOpInfo :: PrimOp -> PrimOpInfo
#include "primop-primop-info.hs-incl"
\end{code} Here are a load of comments from the old primOp info: A @Word#@ is an unsigned @Int#@. @decodeFloat#@ is given w/ Integer-stuff (it's similar). @decodeDouble#@ is given w/ Integer-stuff (it's similar). Decoding of floating-point numbers is sorta Integer-related. Encoding is done with plain ccalls now (see PrelNumExtra.lhs). A @Weak@ Pointer is created by the @mkWeak#@ primitive: mkWeak# :: k -> v -> f -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Weak# v #) In practice, you'll use the higher-level data Weak v = Weak# v mkWeak :: k -> v -> IO () -> IO (Weak v) The following operation dereferences a weak pointer. The weak pointer may have been finalized, so the operation returns a result code which must be inspected before looking at the dereferenced value. deRefWeak# :: Weak# v -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, v, Int# #) Only look at v if the Int# returned is /= 0 !! The higher-level op is deRefWeak :: Weak v -> IO (Maybe v) Weak pointers can be finalized early by using the finalize# operation: finalizeWeak# :: Weak# v -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Int#, IO () #) The Int# returned is either 0 if the weak pointer has already been finalized, or it has no finalizer (the third component is then invalid). 1 if the weak pointer is still alive, with the finalizer returned as the third component. A {\em stable name/pointer} is an index into a table of stable name entries. Since the garbage collector is told about stable pointers, it is safe to pass a stable pointer to external systems such as C routines. \begin{verbatim} makeStablePtr# :: a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, StablePtr# a #) freeStablePtr :: StablePtr# a -> State# RealWorld -> State# RealWorld deRefStablePtr# :: StablePtr# a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, a #) eqStablePtr# :: StablePtr# a -> StablePtr# a -> Int# \end{verbatim} It may seem a bit surprising that @makeStablePtr#@ is a @IO@ operation since it doesn't (directly) involve IO operations. The reason is that if some optimisation pass decided to duplicate calls to @makeStablePtr#@ and we only pass one of the stable pointers over, a massive space leak can result. Putting it into the IO monad prevents this. (Another reason for putting them in a monad is to ensure correct sequencing wrt the side-effecting @freeStablePtr@ operation.) An important property of stable pointers is that if you call makeStablePtr# twice on the same object you get the same stable pointer back. Note that we can implement @freeStablePtr#@ using @_ccall_@ (and, besides, it's not likely to be used from Haskell) so it's not a primop. Question: Why @RealWorld@ - won't any instance of @_ST@ do the job? [ADR] Stable Names ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A stable name is like a stable pointer, but with three important differences: (a) You can't deRef one to get back to the original object. (b) You can convert one to an Int. (c) You don't need to 'freeStableName' The existence of a stable name doesn't guarantee to keep the object it points to alive (unlike a stable pointer), hence (a). Invariants: (a) makeStableName always returns the same value for a given object (same as stable pointers). (b) if two stable names are equal, it implies that the objects from which they were created were the same. (c) stableNameToInt always returns the same Int for a given stable name. -- HWL: The first 4 Int# in all par... annotations denote: -- name, granularity info, size of result, degree of parallelism -- Same structure as _seq_ i.e. returns Int# -- KSW: v, the second arg in parAt# and parAtForNow#, is used only to determine -- `the processor containing the expression v'; it is not evaluated These primops are pretty wierd. dataToTag# :: a -> Int (arg must be an evaluated data type) tagToEnum# :: Int -> a (result type must be an enumerated type) The constraints aren't currently checked by the front end, but the code generator will fall over if they aren't satisfied. %************************************************************************ %* * Which PrimOps are out-of-line %* * %************************************************************************ Some PrimOps need to be called out-of-line because they either need to perform a heap check or they block. \begin{code}
primOpOutOfLine :: PrimOp -> Bool
#include "primop-out-of-line.hs-incl"
\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * Failure and side effects %* * %************************************************************************ Note [PrimOp can_fail and has_side_effects] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Both can_fail and has_side_effects mean that the primop has some effect that is not captured entirely by its result value. ---------- has_side_effects --------------------- Has some imperative side effect, perhaps on the world (I/O), or perhaps on some mutable data structure (writeIORef). Generally speaking all such primops have a type like State -> input -> (State, output) so the state token guarantees ordering, and also ensures that the primop is executed even if 'output' is discarded. ---------- can_fail ---------------------------- Can fail with a seg-fault or divide-by-zero error on some elements of its input domain. Main examples: division (fails on zero demoninator array indexing (fails if the index is out of bounds) However (ASSUMPTION), these can_fail primops are ALWAYS surrounded with a test that checks for the bad cases. Consequences: * You can discard a can_fail primop, or float it _inwards_. But you cannot float it _outwards_, lest you escape the dynamic scope of the test. Example: case d ># 0# of True -> case x /# d of r -> r +# 1 False -> 0 Here we must not float the case outwards to give case x/# d of r -> case d ># 0# of True -> r +# 1 False -> 0 * I believe that exactly the same rules apply to a has_side_effects primop; you can discard it (remember, the state token will keep it alive if necessary), or float it in, but not float it out. Example of the latter if blah then let! s1 = writeMutVar s0 v True in s1 else s0 Notice that s0 is mentioned in both branches of the 'if', but only one of these two will actually be consumed. But if we float out to let! s1 = writeMutVar s0 v True in if blah then s1 else s0 the writeMutVar will be performed in both branches, which is utterly wrong. * You cannot duplicate a has_side_effect primop. You might wonder how this can occur given the state token threading, but just look at Control.Monad.ST.Lazy.Imp.strictToLazy! We get something like this p = case readMutVar# s v of (# s', r #) -> (S# s', r) s' = case p of (s', r) -> s' r = case p of (s', r) -> r (All these bindings are boxed.) If we inline p at its two call sites, we get a catastrophe: because the read is performed once when s' is demanded, and once when 'r' is demanded, which may be much later. Utterly wrong. Trac #3207 is real example of this happening. However, it's fine to duplicate a can_fail primop. That is the difference between can_fail and has_side_effects. can_fail has_side_effects Discard YES YES Float in YES YES Float out NO NO Duplicate YES NO How do we achieve these effects? Note [primOpOkForSpeculation] * The "no-float-out" thing is achieved by ensuring that we never let-bind a can_fail or has_side_effects primop. The RHS of a let-binding (which can float in and out freely) satisfies exprOkForSpeculation. And exprOkForSpeculation is false of can_fail and no_side_effect. * So can_fail and no_side_effect primops will appear only as the scrutinees of cases, and that's why the FloatIn pass is capable of floating case bindings inwards. * The no-duplicate thing is done via primOpIsCheap, by making has_side_effects things (very very very) not-cheap! \begin{code}

primOpOkForSideEffects :: PrimOp -> Bool
primOpOkForSideEffects op
  = not (primOpHasSideEffects op)
\end{code} Note [primOpIsCheap] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @primOpIsCheap@, as used in \tr{SimplUtils.lhs}. For now (HACK WARNING), we just borrow some other predicates for a what-should-be-good-enough test. "Cheap" means willing to call it more than once, and/or push it inside a lambda. The latter could change the behaviour of 'seq' for primops that can fail, so we don't treat them as cheap. \begin{code}
primOpIsCheap :: PrimOp -> Bool
primOpIsCheap op = primOpOkForSpeculation op
-- In March 2001, we changed this to
--      primOpIsCheap op = False
-- thereby making *no* primops seem cheap.  But this killed eta
-- expansion on case (x ==# y) of True -> \s -> ...
-- which is bad.  In particular a loop like
--      doLoop n = loop 0
--     where
--         loop i | i == n    = return ()
--                | otherwise = bar i >> loop (i+1)
-- allocated a closure every time round because it doesn't eta expand.
--
-- The problem that originally gave rise to the change was
--      let x = a +# b *# c in x +# x
-- were we don't want to inline x. But primopIsCheap doesn't control
-- that (it's exprIsDupable that does) so the problem doesn't occur
-- even if primOpIsCheap sometimes says 'True'.
