{-# LANGUAGE BangPatterns, DoAndIfThenElse #-} {-| Module : GHC.AssertNF Copyright : (c) 2013 Joachim Breitner License : BSD3 Maintainer : Joachim Breitner <mail@joachim-breitner.de> To avoid space leaks and unwanted evaluation behaviour, the programmer might want his data to be fully evaluated at certain positions in the code. This can be enforced, for example, by ample use of "Control.DeepSeq", but this comes at a cost. Experienced users hence use 'Control.DeepSeq.deepseq' only to find out about the existence of space leaks and optimize their code to not create the thunks in the first place, until the code no longer shows better performance with 'deepseq'. This module provides an alternative approach: An explicit assertion about the evaluation state. If the programmer expect a certain value to be fully evaluated at a specific point of the program (e.g. before a call to 'writeIORef'), he can state that, and as long as assertions are enabled, this statement will be checked. In the production code the assertions can be disabled, to avoid the run-time cost. -} module GHC.AssertNF ( assertNF, assertNFNamed, assertNFHere, disableAssertNF, isNF, ) where import GHC.HeapView import Debug.Trace import Control.Monad import Text.Printf import Language.Haskell.TH (Q, Exp(AppE,VarE,LitE), Lit(StringL), Loc, location, loc_filename, loc_start, mkName) import Data.IORef import System.IO.Unsafe ( unsafePerformIO ) import Control.Applicative ((<$>)) enabledRef :: IORef Bool enabledRef = unsafePerformIO $ newIORef True {-# NOINLINE enabledRef #-} -- Everything is in normal form, unless it is a -- thunk explicitly marked as such. -- Indirection are also considered to be in HNF isHNF :: Closure -> IO Bool isHNF c = do case c of ThunkClosure {} -> return False APClosure {} -> return False SelectorClosure {} -> return False BCOClosure {} -> return False _ -> return True -- | The function 'assertNF' checks whether its argument is fully evaluated and -- deeply evaluated.
