Hi,

Any other ideas I could try?

Subject: Registering orphan instances and filling the `deps` field of ModIface 
[RE: Where (else) do I need to register instances from loaded modules?]

PUBLIC

Re: #1., I've simplified the code by removing all the Unit shuffling: 
everything is now in mainUnit. Unfortunately, this doesn't change anything 
other than cutting a cool 100 lines from the MWE code; I'm attaching the new 
smaller & simpler version. It is based on GHC 9.0.1 with an extra patch to 
export the first half of mkIfaceTc, just before calling mkFullIface. With this 
change, it really should be filling everything in ModIface the same way as the 
real GHC (so e.g. `deps` should be properly filled), modulo the fingerprints. 

Unfortunately, the `deps` field of the `ModIface`s created this way still 
doesn't contain any orphan instance modules: `Class.src`'s deps are empty 
(which is what I'd expect), `Instance.src` has a dependency in dep_mods (but 
not in dep_orphs) on `Class {-# SORUCE #-}` (I'm not sure why it's marked as a 
source import when `Class` module was already loaded into the module providers 
map before typechecking `Instance`...), and of course `Use.src` still fails so 
I can't get to its dependencies.

It is confusing to me that the problem should be because of the dep_orphs, 
because `Instance.src` does NOT use any orphan instances from `Class.src; 
merely, it provides a new orphan instance for other modules to depend on. Can 
someone explain this part to me?

Thanks,
        Gergo

Hi,

Thanks Matt! Unfortunately, I couldn't get it working even with these 
suggestions.

1. I changed registerModule so that it only changes the HPT when toUnitId 
(moduleUnit mod) == homeUnitId (hsc_dflags env). But I'm pretty sure this will 
be vacuously true, since the unit of the module comes from prepareModule 
setting the home unit before the call to `downsweep`.

TBH I don't understand the whole idea behind the home package, and maybe all my 
pain comes from misusing packages in the first place. As you can see in the 
original code I've sent, I'm loading modules from different units; in my real 
use case, I'd even like to do things like load module1 from unit1, then module2 
from unit2, then module3 from unit1 again -- basically just using the units as 
a cheap way to classify modules so that later downstream, I can make decisions 
based on the unit of the module of the source of a given definition. Should I 
give up on this idea, is this going to lead to problems later on?

2. I also changed mkModIface to fill in the `deps` and while I'm at it, the 
`usages` field, by copy-pasting more code from mkIfaceTc. I'm really starting 
to think that I'd be better off just changing mkIfaceTc to return a 
PartialModIface... Anyway, the new definitions of `deps` and `usages` are:

    let pluginModules = map lpModule (cachedPlugins (hsc_dflags hsc_env))
        unit_id = homeUnitId (hsc_dflags hsc_env)
    deps <- mkDependencies
        unit_id (map mi_module pluginModules) tcg

    dep_files <- readIORef dependent_files
    let used_names = mkUsedNames tcg
    usages <- mkUsageInfo hsc_env this_mod (imp_mods imports) used_names
              dep_files merged pluginModules

With these changes applied, I am still seeing the same error. Printing shows 
that `dep_orphs deps` is empty for Instance.src; further tracing, in turn, 
shows that `imp_orphs . tcg_imports $ tcg` is also empty!

I have also found the wording in the documentation regarding dep_orphs 
confusing: it sounds like, in my case, this would mean that Use has a 
dependency on Instance, because it is using an orphan instance from there. But 
my problems are way before I am making a ModIface for Use, since it fails 
already during typechecking. But you saying the problem is the incomplete deps 
in ModIface must mean that dep_orphs needs to be filled in the ModIface for 
Instance (or, oh god I hope not, Class), right?

If I sound somewhat confused, rest assured that in reality I am even MORE 
confused!

Any further advice welcome,
        Gergo

Hi Gergo,

Some things I noticed:

* The HPT only contains modules from the current home unit. It seems that 
registerModule ignores this so you break this invariant.
* It seems that `Instance` contains an orphan, but you don't fill in the `deps` 
field when making a `ModIface`, which should contain all the orphan modules 
below the module you are compiling.

I think that if you fill in `deps` correctly then things may work out.
`Dependencies` eventually becomes `ImportAvail`, which gets consulted by 
`tcVisibleOrphanMods` which is called in `tcGetInstEnvs` which is called by 
`matchInstEnv`.
