They have compulsory unfoldings, so they are always inlined and they have no definition site. Their home module is GHC.Prim, so they also have a description in primops.txt.pp, where they are called 'pseudoops'. (2) The 'error' function, eRROR_ID, is wired in because we don't yet have a way to express in an interface file that the result type variable is 'open'; that is can be unified with an unboxed type [The interface file format now carry such information, but there's no way yet of expressing at the definition site for these error-reporting functions that they have an 'open' result type. -- sof 1/99] (3) Other error functions (rUNTIME_ERROR_ID) are wired in (a) because the desugarer generates code that mentiones them directly, and (b) for the same reason as eRROR_ID (4) lazyId is wired in because the wired-in version overrides the strictness of the version defined in GHC.Base In cases (2-4), the function has a definition in a library module, and can be called; but the wired-in version means that the details are never read from that module's interface file; instead, the full definition is right here. \begin{code}

  ++ errorIds		-- Defined in MkCore

-- These Ids are exported from GHC.Prim
ghcPrimIds :: [Id]

        -- perfectly reasonable unfoldings in Core
    realWorldPrimId,
    voidPrimId,

    ]
\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * \subsection{Data constructors} %* * %************************************************************************ The wrapper for a constructor is an ordinary top-level binding that evaluates any strict args, unboxes any args that are going to be flattened, and calls the worker. We're going to build a constructor that looks like: data (Data a, C b) => T a b = T1 !a !Int b T1 = /\ a b -> \d1::Data a, d2::C b -> \p q r -> case p of { p -> case q of { q -> Con T1 [a,b] [p,q,r]}} Notice that * d2 is thrown away --- a context in a data decl is used to make sure one *could* construct dictionaries at the site the constructor is used, but the dictionary isn't actually used. * We have to check that we can construct Data dictionaries for the types a and Int. Once we've done that we can throw d1 away too. * We use (case p of q -> ...) to evaluate p, rather than "seq" because all that matters is that the arguments are evaluated. "seq" is very careful to preserve evaluation order, which we don't need to be here. You might think that we could simply give constructors some strictness info, like PrimOps, and let CoreToStg do the let-to-case transformation. But we don't do that because in the case of primops and functions strictness is a *property* not a *requirement*. In the case of constructors we need to do something active to evaluate the argument. Making an explicit case expression allows the simplifier to eliminate it in the (common) case where the constructor arg is already evaluated. Note [Wrappers for data instance tycons] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the case of data instances, the wrapper also applies the coercion turning the representation type into the family instance type to cast the result of the wrapper. For example, consider the declarations data family Map k :: * -> * data instance Map (a, b) v = MapPair (Map a (Pair b v)) The tycon to which the datacon MapPair belongs gets a unique internal name of the form :R123Map, and we call it the representation tycon. In contrast, Map is the family tycon (accessible via tyConFamInst_maybe). A coercion allows you to move between representation and family type. It is accessible from :R123Map via tyConFamilyCoercion_maybe and has kind Co123Map a b v :: {Map (a, b) v ~ :R123Map a b v} The wrapper and worker of MapPair get the types -- Wrapper $WMapPair :: forall a b v. Map a (Map a b v) -> Map (a, b) v $WMapPair a b v = MapPair a b v `cast` sym (Co123Map a b v) -- Worker MapPair :: forall a b v. Map a (Map a b v) -> :R123Map a b v This coercion is conditionally applied by wrapFamInstBody. It's a bit more complicated if the data instance is a GADT as well! data instance T [a] where T1 :: forall b. b -> T [Maybe b] Hence we translate to -- Wrapper $WT1 :: forall b. b -> T [Maybe b] $WT1 b v = T1 (Maybe b) b (Maybe b) v `cast` sym (Co7T (Maybe b)) -- Worker T1 :: forall c b. (c ~ Maybe b) => b -> :R7T c -- Coercion from family type to representation type Co7T a :: T [a] ~ :R7T a Note [Newtype datacons] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The "data constructor" for a newtype should always be vanilla. At one point this wasn't true, because the newtype arising from class C a => D a looked like newtype T:D a = D:D (C a) so the data constructor for T:C had a single argument, namely the predicate (C a). But now we treat that as an ordinary argument, not part of the theta-type, so all is well. %************************************************************************ %* * \subsection{Dictionary selectors} %* * %************************************************************************ Selecting a field for a dictionary. If there is just one field, then there's nothing to do. Dictionary selectors may get nested forall-types. Thus: class Foo a where op :: forall b. Ord b => a -> b -> b Then the top-level type for op is op :: forall a. Foo a => forall b. Ord b => a -> b -> b This is unlike ordinary record selectors, which have all the for-alls at the outside. When dealing with classes it's very convenient to recover the original type signature from the class op selector. \begin{code}

\end{code} Note [Unpack one-wide fields] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The flag UnboxSmallStrictFields ensures that any field that can (safely) be unboxed to a word-sized unboxed field, should be so unboxed. For example: data A = A Int# newtype B = B A data C = C !B data D = D !C data E = E !() data F = F !D data G = G !F !F All of these should have an Int# as their representation, except G which should have two Int#s. However data T = T !(S Int) data S = S !a Here we can represent T with an Int#. Note [Recursive unboxing] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider data R = MkR {-# UNPACK #-} !S Int data S = MkS {-# UNPACK #-} !Int The representation arguments of MkR are the *representation* arguments of S (plus Int); the rep args of MkS are Int#. This is all fine. But be careful not to try to unbox this! data T = MkT {-# UNPACK #-} !T Int Because then we'd get an infinite number of arguments. Here is a more complicated case: data S = MkS {-# UNPACK #-} !T Int data T = MkT {-# UNPACK #-} !S Int Each of S and T must decide independendently whether to unpack and they had better not both say yes. So they must both say no. Also behave conservatively when there is no UNPACK pragma data T = MkS !T Int with -funbox-strict-fields or -funbox-small-strict-fields we need to behave as if there was an UNPACK pragma there. But it's the *argument* type that matters. This is fine: data S = MkS S !Int because Int is non-recursive. Note [Unpack equality predicates] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If we have a GADT with a contructor C :: (a~[b]) => b -> T a we definitely want that equality predicate *unboxed* so that it takes no space at all. This is easily done: just give it an UNPACK pragma. The rest of the unpack/repack code does the heavy lifting. This one line makes every GADT take a word less space for each equality predicate, so it's pretty important! \begin{code}

Their definition involves user-written code, so we can't figure out their strictness etc based on fixed info, as we can for constructors and record selectors (say). We build them as LocalIds, but with External Names. This ensures that they are taken to account by free-variable finding and dependency analysis (e.g. CoreFVs.exprFreeVars). Why shouldn't they be bound as GlobalIds? Because, in particular, if they are globals, the specialiser floats dict uses above their defns, which prevents good simplifications happening. Also the strictness analyser treats a occurrence of a GlobalId as imported and assumes it contains strictness in its IdInfo, which isn't true if the thing is bound in the same module as the occurrence. It's OK for dfuns to be LocalIds, because we form the instance-env to pass on to the next module (md_insts) in CoreTidy, afer tidying and globalising the top-level Ids. BUT make sure they are *exported* LocalIds (mkExportedLocalId) so that they aren't discarded by the occurrence analyser. \begin{code}

They could be defined in unfoldings in the wired-in GHC.Prim interface file, but we'd have to ensure that they were definitely, definitely inlined, because there is no curried identifier for them. That's what mkCompulsoryUnfolding does. If we had a way to get a compulsory unfolding from an interface file, we could do that, but we don't right now. unsafeCoerce# isn't so much a PrimOp as a phantom identifier, that just gets expanded into a type coercion wherever it occurs. Hence we add it as a built-in Id with an unfolding here. The type variables we use here are "open" type variables: this means they can unify with both unlifted and lifted types. Hence we provide another gun with which to shoot yourself in the foot. \begin{code}

\end{code} Note [Unsafe coerce magic] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We define a *primitive* GHC.Prim.unsafeCoerce# and then in the base library we define the ordinary function Unsafe.Coerce.unsafeCoerce :: forall (a:*) (b:*). a -> b unsafeCoerce x = unsafeCoerce# x Notice that unsafeCoerce has a civilized (albeit still dangerous) polymorphic type, whose type args have kind *. So you can't use it on unboxed values (unsafeCoerce 3#). In contrast unsafeCoerce# is even more dangerous because you *can* use it on unboxed things, (unsafeCoerce# 3#) :: Int. Its type is forall (a:OpenKind) (b:OpenKind). a -> b Note [seqId magic] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'GHC.Prim.seq' is special in several ways. a) Its second arg can have an unboxed type x `seq` (v +# w) Hence its second type variable has ArgKind b) Its fixity is set in LoadIface.ghcPrimIface c) It has quite a bit of desugaring magic. See DsUtils.lhs Note [Desugaring seq (1)] and (2) and (3) d) There is some special rule handing: Note [User-defined RULES for seq] e) See Note [Typing rule for seq] in TcExpr. Note [User-defined RULES for seq] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. To make this work, we need to be careful that the magical desugaring done in 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. Note [Built-in RULES for seq] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We also have the following built-in rule for seq seq (x `cast` co) y = seq x y This eliminates unnecessary casts and also allows other seq rules to match more often. Notably, seq (f x `cast` co) y --> seq (f x) y and now a user-defined rule for seq (see Note [User-defined RULES for seq]) may fire. Note [lazyId magic] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lazy :: forall a?. a? -> a? (i.e. works for unboxed types too) Used to lazify pseq: pseq a b = a `seq` lazy b Also, no strictness: by being a built-in Id, all the info about lazyId comes from here, not from GHC.Base.hi. This is important, because the strictness analyser will spot it as strict! Also no unfolding in lazyId: it gets "inlined" by a HACK in CorePrep. It's very important to do this inlining *after* unfoldings are exposed in the interface file. Otherwise, the unfolding for (say) pseq in the interface file will not mention 'lazy', so if we inline 'pseq' we'll totally miss the very thing that 'lazy' was there for in the first place. See Trac #3259 for a real world example. lazyId is defined in GHC.Base, so we don't *have* to inline it. If it appears un-applied, we'll end up just calling it. Note [magicDictId magic] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The identifier `magicDict` is just a place-holder, which is used to implement a primitve that we cannot define in Haskell but we can write in Core. It is declared with a place-holder type: magicDict :: forall a. a The intention is that the identifier will be used in a very specific way, to create dictionaries for classes with a single method. Consider a class like this: class C a where f :: T a We are going to use `magicDict`, in conjunction with a built-in Prelude rule, to cast values of type `T a` into dictionaries for `C a`. To do this, we define a function like this in the library: data WrapC a b = WrapC (C a => Proxy a -> b) withT :: (C a => Proxy a -> b) -> T a -> Proxy a -> b withT f x y = magicDict (WrapC f) x y The purpose of `WrapC` is to avoid having `f` instantiated. Also, it avoids impredicativity, because `magicDict`'s type cannot be instantiated with a forall. The field of `WrapC` contains a `Proxy` parameter which is used to link the type of the constraint, `C a`, with the type of the `Wrap` value being made. Next, we add a built-in Prelude rule (see prelude/PrelRules.hs), which will replace the RHS of this definition with the appropriate definition in Core. The rewrite rule works as follows: magicDict@t (wrap@a@b f) x y ----> f (x `cast` co a) y The `co` coercion is the newtype-coercion extracted from the type-class. The type class is obtain by looking at the type of wrap. ------------------------------------------------------------- @realWorld#@ used to be a magic literal, \tr{void#}. If things get nasty as-is, change it back to a literal (@Literal@). voidArgId is a Local Id used simply as an argument in functions where we just want an arg to avoid having a thunk of unlifted type. E.g. x = \ void :: Void# -> (# p, q #) This comes up in strictness analysis Note [evaldUnfoldings] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The evaldUnfolding makes it look that some primitive value is evaluated, which in turn makes Simplify.interestingArg return True, which in turn makes INLINE things applied to said value likely to be inlined. \begin{code}
