* matchLocalInst: do domination analysissheaf2022-09-281-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple Given quantified constraints match a Wanted, and there is a quantified constraint that dominates all others, we now pick it to solve the Wanted. See Note [Use only the best matching quantified constraint]. For example: [G] d1: forall a b. ( Eq a, Num b, C a b ) => D a b [G] d2: forall a . C a Int => D a Int [W] {w}: D a Int When solving the Wanted, we find that both Givens match, but we pick the second, because it has a weaker precondition, C a Int, compared to (Eq a, Num Int, C a Int). We thus say that d2 dominates d1; see Note [When does a quantified instance dominate another?]. This domination test is done purely in terms of superclass expansion, in the function GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.impliedBySCs. We don't attempt to do a full round of constraint solving; this simple check suffices for now. Fixes #22216 and #22223

* Generalize breakTyVarCycle to work with TyFamLHSRichard Eisenberg2022-05-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function breakTyVarCycle_maybe has been installed in a dark corner of GHC to catch some gremlins (a.k.a. occurs-check failures) who lurk there. But it previously only caught gremlins of the form (a ~ ... F a ...), where some of our intrepid users have spawned gremlins of the form (G a ~ ... F (G a) ...). This commit improves breakTyVarCycle_maybe (and renames it to breakTyEqCycle_maybe) to catch the new gremlins. Happily, the change is remarkably small. The gory details are in Note [Type equality cycles]. Test cases: typecheck/should_compile/{T21515,T21473}.
* Fix unification of ConcreteTvs, removing IsRefl#sheaf2022-04-281-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the unification of concrete type variables. The subtlety was that unifying concrete metavariables is more subtle than other metavariables, as decomposition is possible. See the Note [Unifying concrete metavariables], which explains how we unify a concrete type variable with a type 'ty' by concretising 'ty', using the function 'GHC.Tc.Utils.Concrete.concretise'. This can be used to perform an eager syntactic check for concreteness, allowing us to remove the IsRefl# special predicate. Instead of emitting two constraints `rr ~# concrete_tv` and `IsRefl# rr concrete_tv`, we instead concretise 'rr'. If this succeeds we can fill 'concrete_tv', and otherwise we directly emit an error message to the typechecker environment instead of deferring. We still need the error message to be passed on (instead of directly thrown), as we might benefit from further unification in which case we will need to zonk the stored types. To achieve this, we change the 'wc_holes' field of 'WantedConstraints' to 'wc_errors', which stores general delayed errors. For the moement, a delayed error is either a hole, or a syntactic equality error. hasFixedRuntimeRep_MustBeRefl is now hasFixedRuntimeRep_syntactic, and hasFixedRuntimeRep has been refactored to directly return the most useful coercion for PHASE 2 of FixedRuntimeRep. This patch also adds a field ir_frr to the InferResult datatype, holding a value of type Maybe FRROrigin. When this value is not Nothing, this means that we must fill the ir_ref field with a type which has a fixed RuntimeRep. When it comes time to fill such an ExpType, we ensure that the type has a fixed RuntimeRep by performing a representation-polymorphism check with the given FRROrigin This is similar to what we already do to ensure we fill an Infer ExpType with a type of the correct TcLevel. This allows us to properly perform representation-polymorphism checks on 'Infer' 'ExpTypes'. The fillInferResult function had to be moved to GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify to avoid a cyclic import now that it calls hasFixedRuntimeRep. This patch also changes the code in matchExpectedFunTys to make use of the coercions, which is now possible thanks to the previous change. This implements PHASE 2 of FixedRuntimeRep in some situations. For example, the test cases T13105 and T17536b are now both accepted.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Co-authored by: Sam Derbyshire Previously, GHC had three flavours of constraint: Wanted, Given, and Derived. This removes Derived constraints. Though serving a number of purposes, the most important role of Derived constraints was to enable better error messages. This job has been taken over by the new RewriterSets, as explained in Note [Wanteds rewrite wanteds] in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint. Other knock-on effects: - Various new Notes as I learned about under-described bits of GHC - A reshuffling around the AST for implicit-parameter bindings, with better integration with TTG. - Various improvements around fundeps. These were caused by the fact that, previously, fundep constraints were all Derived, and Derived constraints would get dropped. Thus, an unsolved Derived didn't stop compilation. Without Derived, this is no longer possible, and so we have to be considerably more careful around fundeps. - A nice little refactoring in GHC.Tc.Errors to center the work on a new datatype called ErrorItem. Constraints are converted into ErrorItems at the start of processing, and this allows for a little preprocessing before the main classification. - This commit also cleans up the behavior in generalisation around functional dependencies. Now, if a variable is determined by functional dependencies, it will not be quantified. This change is user facing, but it should trim down GHC's strange behavior around fundeps. - Previously, reportWanteds did quite a bit of work, even on an empty WantedConstraints. This commit adds a fast path. - Now, GHC will unconditionally re-simplify constraints during quantification. See Note [Unconditionally resimplify constraints when quantifying], in GHC.Tc.Solver.

* Use local instances with least superclass depthRichard Eisenberg2021-11-121-1/+1

* Improve redundant-constraints warningRichard Eisenberg2021-11-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we reported things wrong with f :: (Eq a, Ord a) => a -> Bool f x = x == x saying that Eq a was redundant. This is fixed now, along with some simplification in Note [Replacement vs keeping]. There's a tiny bit of extra complexity in setImplicationStatus, but it's explained in Note [Tracking redundant constraints]. Close #20602
* Introduce Concrete# for representation polymorphism checkssheaf2021-10-171-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PHASE 1: we never rewrite Concrete# evidence. This patch migrates all the representation polymorphism checks to the typechecker, using a new constraint form Concrete# :: forall k. k -> TupleRep '[] Whenever a type `ty` must be representation-polymorphic (e.g. it is the type of an argument to a function), we emit a new `Concrete# ty` Wanted constraint. If this constraint goes unsolved, we report a representation-polymorphism error to the user. The 'FRROrigin' datatype keeps track of the context of the representation-polymorphism check, for more informative error messages. This paves the way for further improvements, such as allowing type families in RuntimeReps and improving the soundness of typed Template Haskell. This is left as future work (PHASE 2). fixes #17907 #20277 #20330 #20423 #20426 updates haddock submodule ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T5642 -------------------------
* Use Reductions to keep track of rewritingssheaf2021-08-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We define Reduction = Reduction Coercion !Type. A reduction of the form 'Reduction co new_ty' witnesses an equality ty ~co~> new_ty. That is, the rewriting happens left-to-right: the right-hand-side type of the coercion is the rewritten type, and the left-hand-side type the original type. Sticking to this convention makes the codebase more consistent, helping to avoid certain applications of SymCo. This replaces the parts of the codebase which represented reductions as pairs, (Coercion,Type) or (Type,Coercion). Reduction being strict in the Type argument improves performance in some programs that rewrite many type families (such as T9872).

* Fix #19682 by breaking cycles in DerivedsRichard Eisenberg2021-06-051-5/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit expands the old Note [Type variable cycles in Givens] to apply as well to Deriveds. See the Note for details and examples. This fixes a regression introduced by my earlier commit that killed off the flattener in favor of the rewriter. A few other things happened along the way: * unifyTest was renamed to touchabilityTest, because that's what it does. * isInsolubleOccursCheck was folded into checkTypeEq, which does much of the same work. To get this to work out, though, we need to keep more careful track of what errors we spot in checkTypeEq, and so CheckTyEqResult has become rather more glorious. * A redundant Note or two was eliminated. * Kill off occCheckForErrors; due to Note [Rewriting synonyms], the extra occCheckExpand here is always redundant. * Store blocked equalities separately from other inerts; less stuff to look through when kicking out.

* Rip GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad asunder (only)Richard Eisenberg2021-05-291-0/+1633
This creates new modules GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet and GHC.Tc.Solver.Types. The Monad module is still pretty big, but this is an improvement. Moreover, it means that GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types no longer depends on the constraint solver (it now depends on GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet), making the error-messages work easier. This patch thus contributes to #18516.
