This big patch addresses the rats-nest of issues that have plagued
us for years, about the relationship between Type and Constraint.
See #11715/#21623.
The main payload of the patch is:
* To introduce CONSTRAINT :: RuntimeRep -> Type
* To make TYPE and CONSTRAINT distinct throughout the compiler
Two overview Notes in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim
* Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]
* Note [Type and Constraint are not apart]
This is the main complication.
The specifics
* New primitive types (GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim)
- CONSTRAINT
- ctArrowTyCon (=>)
- tcArrowTyCon (-=>)
- ccArrowTyCon (==>)
- funTyCon FUN -- Not new
See Note [Function type constructors and FunTy]
and Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]
* GHC.Builtin.Types:
- New type Constraint = CONSTRAINT LiftedRep
- I also stopped nonEmptyTyCon being built-in; it only needs to be wired-in
* Exploit the fact that Type and Constraint are distinct throughout GHC
- Get rid of tcView in favour of coreView.
- Many tcXX functions become XX functions.
e.g. tcGetCastedTyVar --> getCastedTyVar
* Kill off Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality], in (old)
GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical. It said that typechecker-equality should ignore
the specified/inferred distinction when comparein two ForAllTys. But
that wsa only weakly supported and (worse) implies that we need a separate
typechecker equality, different from core equality. No no no.
* GHC.Core.TyCon: kill off FunTyCon in data TyCon. There was no need for it,
and anyway now we have four of them!
* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep: add two FunTyFlags to FunCo
See Note [FunCo] in that module.
* GHC.Core.Type. Lots and lots of changes driven by adding CONSTRAINT.
The key new function is sORTKind_maybe; most other changes are built
on top of that.
See also `funTyConAppTy_maybe` and `tyConAppFun_maybe`.
* Fix a longstanding bug in GHC.Core.Type.typeKind, and Core Lint, in
kinding ForAllTys. See new tules (FORALL1) and (FORALL2) in GHC.Core.Type.
(The bug was that before (forall (cv::t1 ~# t2). blah), where
blah::TYPE IntRep, would get kind (TYPE IntRep), but it should be
(TYPE LiftedRep). See Note [Kinding rules for types] in GHC.Core.Type.
* GHC.Core.TyCo.Compare is a new module in which we do eqType and cmpType.
Of course, no tcEqType any more.
* GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs. I moved some free-var-like function into this module:
tyConsOfType, visVarsOfType, and occCheckExpand. Refactoring only.
* GHC.Builtin.Types. Compiletely re-engineer boxingDataCon_maybe to
have one for each /RuntimeRep/, rather than one for each /Type/.
This dramatically widens the range of types we can auto-box.
See Note [Boxing constructors] in GHC.Builtin.Types
The boxing types themselves are declared in library ghc-prim:GHC.Types.
GHC.Core.Make. Re-engineer the treatment of "big" tuples (mkBigCoreVarTup
etc) GHC.Core.Make, so that it auto-boxes unboxed values and (crucially)
types of kind Constraint. That allows the desugaring for arrows to work;
it gathers up free variables (including dictionaries) into tuples.
See Note [Big tuples] in GHC.Core.Make.
There is still work to do here: #22336. But things are better than
before.
* GHC.Core.Make. We need two absent-error Ids, aBSENT_ERROR_ID for types of
kind Type, and aBSENT_CONSTRAINT_ERROR_ID for vaues of kind Constraint.
Ditto noInlineId vs noInlieConstraintId in GHC.Types.Id.Make;
see Note [inlineId magic].
* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep. Completely refactor the NthCo coercion. It is now called
SelCo, and its fields are much more descriptive than the single Int we used to
have. A great improvement. See Note [SelCo] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.
* GHC.Core.RoughMap.roughMatchTyConName. Collapse TYPE and CONSTRAINT to
a single TyCon, so that the rough-map does not distinguish them.
* GHC.Core.DataCon
- Mainly just improve documentation
* Some significant renamings:
GHC.Core.Multiplicity: Many --> ManyTy (easier to grep for)
One --> OneTy
GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep TyCoBinder --> GHC.Core.Var.PiTyBinder
GHC.Core.Var TyCoVarBinder --> ForAllTyBinder
AnonArgFlag --> FunTyFlag
ArgFlag --> ForAllTyFlag
GHC.Core.TyCon TyConTyCoBinder --> TyConPiTyBinder
Many functions are renamed in consequence
e.g. isinvisibleArgFlag becomes isInvisibleForAllTyFlag, etc
* I refactored FunTyFlag (was AnonArgFlag) into a simple, flat data type
data FunTyFlag
= FTF_T_T -- (->) Type -> Type
| FTF_T_C -- (-=>) Type -> Constraint
| FTF_C_T -- (=>) Constraint -> Type
| FTF_C_C -- (==>) Constraint -> Constraint
* GHC.Tc.Errors.Ppr. Some significant refactoring in the TypeEqMisMatch case
of pprMismatchMsg.
* I made the tyConUnique field of TyCon strict, because I
saw code with lots of silly eval's. That revealed that
GHC.Settings.Constants.mAX_SUM_SIZE can only be 63, because
we pack the sum tag into a 6-bit field. (Lurking bug squashed.)
Fixes
* #21530
Updates haddock submodule slightly.
Performance changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was worried that compile times would get worse, but after
some careful profiling we are down to a geometric mean 0.1%
increase in allocation (in perf/compiler). That seems fine.
There is a big runtime improvement in T10359
Metric Decrease:
LargeRecord
MultiLayerModulesTH_OneShot
T13386
T13719
Metric Increase:
T8095

Implementation for Ticket #16393.
Explicit specificity allows users to manually create inferred type variables,
by marking them with braces.
This way, the user determines which variables can be instantiated through
visible type application.
The additional syntax is included in the parser, allowing users to write
braces in type variable binders (type signatures, data constructors etc).
This information is passed along through the renamer and verified in the
type checker.
The AST for type variable binders, data constructors, pattern synonyms,
partial signatures and Template Haskell has been updated to include the
specificity of type variables.
Minor notes:
- Bumps haddock submodule
- Disables pattern match checking in GHC.Iface.Type with GHC 8.8
