* Simple subsumptionwip/T17775Simon Peyton Jones2020-06-051-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch simplifies GHC to use simple subsumption. Ticket #17775 Implements GHC proposal #287 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/ proposals/0287-simplify-subsumption.rst All the motivation is described there; I will not repeat it here. The implementation payload: * tcSubType and friends become noticably simpler, because it no longer uses eta-expansion when checking subsumption. * No deeplyInstantiate or deeplySkolemise That in turn means that some tests fail, by design; they can all be fixed by eta expansion. There is a list of such changes below. Implementing the patch led me into a variety of sticky corners, so the patch includes several othe changes, some quite significant: * I made String wired-in, so that "foo" :: String rather than "foo" :: [Char] This improves error messages, and fixes #15679 * The pattern match checker relies on knowing about in-scope equality constraints, andd adds them to the desugarer's environment using addTyCsDs. But the co_fn in a FunBind was missed, and for some reason simple-subsumption ends up with dictionaries there. So I added a call to addTyCsDs. This is really part of #18049. * I moved the ic_telescope field out of Implication and into ForAllSkol instead. This is a nice win; just expresses the code much better. * There was a bug in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.tcDataFamInstHeader. We called checkDataKindSig inside tc_kind_sig, /before/ solveEqualities and zonking. Obviously wrong, easily fixed. * solveLocalEqualitiesX: there was a whole mess in here, around failing fast enough. I discovered a bad latent bug where we could successfully kind-check a type signature, and use it, but have unsolved constraints that could fill in coercion holes in that signature -- aargh. It's all explained in Note [Failure in local type signatures] in GHC.Tc.Solver. Much better now. * I fixed a serious bug in anonymous type holes. IN f :: Int -> (forall a. a -> _) -> Int that "_" should be a unification variable at the /outer/ level; it cannot be instantiated to 'a'. This was plain wrong. New fields mode_lvl and mode_holes in TcTyMode, and auxiliary data type GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.HoleMode. This fixes #16292, but makes no progress towards the more ambitious #16082 * I got sucked into an enormous refactoring of the reporting of equality errors in GHC.Tc.Errors, especially in mkEqErr1 mkTyVarEqErr misMatchMsg misMatchMsgOrCND In particular, the very tricky mkExpectedActualMsg function is gone. It took me a full day. But the result is far easier to understand. (Still not easy!) This led to various minor improvements in error output, and an enormous number of test-case error wibbles. One particular point: for occurs-check errors I now just say Can't match 'a' against '[a]' rather than using the intimidating language of "occurs check". * Pretty-printing AbsBinds Tests review * Eta expansions T11305: one eta expansion T12082: one eta expansion (undefined) T13585a: one eta expansion T3102: one eta expansion T3692: two eta expansions (tricky) T2239: two eta expansions T16473: one eta determ004: two eta expansions (undefined) annfail06: two eta (undefined) T17923: four eta expansions (a strange program indeed!) tcrun035: one eta expansion * Ambiguity check at higher rank. Now that we have simple subsumption, a type like f :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int is no longer ambiguous, because we could write g :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int g = f and it'd typecheck just fine. But f's type is a bit suspicious, and we might want to consider making the ambiguity check do a check on each sub-term. Meanwhile, these tests are accepted, whereas they were previously rejected as ambiguous: T7220a T15438 T10503 T9222 * Some more interesting error message wibbles T13381: Fine: one error (Int ~ Exp Int) rather than two (Int ~ Exp Int, Exp Int ~ Int) T9834: Small change in error (improvement) T10619: Improved T2414: Small change, due to order of unification, fine T2534: A very simple case in which a change of unification order means we get tow unsolved constraints instead of one tc211: bizarre impredicative tests; just accept this for now Updates Cabal and haddock submodules. Metric Increase: T12150 T12234 T5837 haddock.base Metric Decrease: haddock.compiler haddock.Cabal haddock.base Merge note: This appears to break the `UnliftedNewtypesDifficultUnification` test. It has been marked as broken in the interest of merging. (cherry picked from commit 66b7b195cb3dce93ed5078b80bf568efae904cc5)
* Clean up boot vs non-boot disambiguating typesJohn Ericson2020-06-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We often have (ModuleName, Bool) or (Module, Bool) pairs for "extended" module names (without or with a unit id) disambiguating boot and normal modules. We think this is important enough across the compiler that it deserves a new nominal product type. We do this with synnoyms and a functor named with a `Gen` prefix, matching other newly created definitions. It was also requested that we keep custom `IsBoot` / `NotBoot` sum type. So we have it too. This means changing many the many bools to use that instead. Updates `haddock` submodule.
* Explicit SpecificityGert-Jan Bottu2020-05-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Refactor hole constraints.Richard Eisenberg2020-05-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, holes (both expression holes / out of scope variables and partial-type-signature wildcards) were emitted as *constraints* via the CHoleCan constructor. While this worked fine for error reporting, there was a fair amount of faff in keeping these constraints in line. In particular, and unlike other constraints, we could never change a CHoleCan to become CNonCanonical. In addition: * the "predicate" of a CHoleCan constraint was really the type of the hole, which is not a predicate at all * type-level holes (partial type signature wildcards) carried evidence, which was never used * tcNormalise (used in the pattern-match checker) had to create a hole constraint just to extract it again; it was quite messy The new approach is to record holes directly in WantedConstraints. It flows much more nicely now. Along the way, I did some cleaning up of commentary in GHC.Tc.Errors.Hole, which I had a hard time understanding. This was instigated by a future patch that will refactor the way predicates are handled. The fact that CHoleCan's "predicate" wasn't really a predicate is incompatible with that future patch. No test case, because this is meant to be purely internal. It turns out that this change improves the performance of the pattern-match checker, likely because fewer constraints are sloshing about in tcNormalise. I have not investigated deeply, but an improvement is not a surprise here: ------------------------- Metric Decrease: PmSeriesG -------------------------

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Over the years the unit management code has been modified a lot to keep up with changes in Cabal (e.g. support for several library components in the same package), to integrate BackPack, etc. I found it very hard to understand as the terminology wasn't consistent, was referring to past concepts, etc. The terminology is now explained as clearly as I could in the Note "About Units" and the code is refactored to reflect it. ------------------- Many names were misleading: UnitId is not an Id but could be a virtual unit (an indefinite one instantiated on the fly), IndefUnitId constructor may contain a definite instantiated unit, etc. * Rename IndefUnitId into InstantiatedUnit * Rename IndefModule into InstantiatedModule * Rename UnitId type into Unit * Rename IndefiniteUnitId constructor into VirtUnit * Rename DefiniteUnitId constructor into RealUnit * Rename packageConfigId into mkUnit * Rename getPackageDetails into unsafeGetUnitInfo * Rename InstalledUnitId into UnitId Remove references to misleading ComponentId: a ComponentId is just an indefinite unit-id to be instantiated. * Rename ComponentId into IndefUnitId * Rename ComponentDetails into UnitPprInfo * Fix display of UnitPprInfo with empty version: this is now used for units dynamically generated by BackPack Generalize several types (Module, Unit, etc.) so that they can be used with different unit identifier types: UnitKey, UnitId, Unit, etc. * GenModule: Module, InstantiatedModule and InstalledModule are now instances of this type * Generalize DefUnitId, IndefUnitId, Unit, InstantiatedUnit, PackageDatabase Replace BackPack fake "hole" UnitId by a proper HoleUnit constructor. Add basic support for UnitKey. They should be used more in the future to avoid mixing them up with UnitId as we do now. Add many comments. Update Haddock submodule

* Do eager instantation in termsSimon Peyton Jones2020-04-221-10/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements eager instantiation, a small but critical change to the type inference engine, #17173. The main change is this: When inferring types, always return an instantiated type (for now, deeply instantiated; in future shallowly instantiated) There is more discussion in https://www.tweag.io/posts/2020-04-02-lazy-eager-instantiation.html There is quite a bit of refactoring in this patch: * The ir_inst field of GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.InferResultk has entirely gone. So tcInferInst and tcInferNoInst have collapsed into tcInfer. * Type inference of applications, via tcInferApp and tcInferAppHead, are substantially refactored, preparing the way for Quick Look impredicativity. * New pure function GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.collectHsArgs and applyHsArgs are beatifully dual. We can see the zipper! * GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.tcArgs is now much nicer; no longer needs to return a wrapper * In HsExpr, HsTypeApp now contains the the actual type argument, and is used in desugaring, rather than putting it in a mysterious wrapper. * I struggled a bit with good error reporting in Unify.matchActualFunTysPart. It's a little bit simpler than before, but still not great. Some smaller things * Rename tcPolyExpr --> tcCheckExpr tcMonoExpr --> tcLExpr * tcPatSig moves from GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType to GHC.Tc.Gen.Pat Metric Decrease: T9961 Reduction of 1.6% in comiler allocation on T9961, I think.

| | | | | This fixes several small oversights in the choice of pretty-printing function to use. Fixes #18052.
* Make NoExtCon fields strictwip/strict-NoExtConRyan Scott2020-04-071-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes every unused TTG extension constructor to be strict in its field so that the pattern-match coverage checker is smart enough any such constructors are unreachable in pattern matches. This lets us remove nearly every use of `noExtCon` in the GHC API. The only ones we cannot remove are ones underneath uses of `ghcPass`, but that is only because GHC 8.8's and 8.10's coverage checkers weren't smart enough to perform this kind of reasoning. GHC HEAD's coverage checker, on the other hand, _is_ smart enough, so we guard these uses of `noExtCon` with CPP for now. Bumps the `haddock` submodule. Fixes #17992.
