* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-111-131/+114
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the ideas originally put forward in "System FC with Explicit Kind Equality" (ICFP'13). There are several noteworthy changes with this patch: * We now have casts in types. These change the kind of a type. See new constructor `CastTy`. * All types and all constructors can be promoted. This includes GADT constructors. GADT pattern matches take place in type family equations. In Core, types can now be applied to coercions via the `CoercionTy` constructor. * Coercions can now be heterogeneous, relating types of different kinds. A coercion proving `t1 :: k1 ~ t2 :: k2` proves both that `t1` and `t2` are the same and also that `k1` and `k2` are the same. * The `Coercion` type has been significantly enhanced. The documentation in `docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf` reflects the new reality. * The type of `*` is now `*`. No more `BOX`. * Users can write explicit kind variables in their code, anywhere they can write type variables. For backward compatibility, automatic inference of kind-variable binding is still permitted. * The new extension `TypeInType` turns on the new user-facing features. * Type families and synonyms are now promoted to kinds. This causes trouble with parsing `*`, leading to the somewhat awkward new `HsAppsTy` constructor for `HsType`. This is dispatched with in the renamer, where the kind `*` can be told apart from a type-level multiplication operator. Without `-XTypeInType` the old behavior persists. With `-XTypeInType`, you need to import `Data.Kind` to get `*`, also known as `Type`. * The kind-checking algorithms in TcHsType have been significantly rewritten to allow for enhanced kinds. * The new features are still quite experimental and may be in flux. * TODO: Several open tickets: #11195, #11196, #11197, #11198, #11203. * TODO: Update user manual. Tickets addressed: #9017, #9173, #7961, #10524, #8566, #11142. Updates Haddock submodule.
* Generate Typeable info at definition sitesBen Gamari2015-10-301-13/+25

This patch implements the idea floated in Trac #9858, namely that we should generate type-representation information at the data type declaration site, rather than when solving a Typeable constraint. However, this turned out quite a bit harder than I expected. I still think it's the right thing to do, and it's done now, but it was quite a struggle. See particularly * Note [Grand plan for Typeable] in TcTypeable (which is a new module) * Note [The overall promotion story] in DataCon (clarifies existing stuff) The most painful bit was that to generate Typeable instances (ie TyConRepName bindings) for every TyCon is tricky for types in ghc-prim etc: * We need to have enough data types around to *define* a TyCon * Many of these types are wired-in Also, to minimise the code generated for each data type, I wanted to generate pure data, not CAFs with unpackCString# stuff floating about. Performance ~~~~~~~~~~~ Three perf/compiler tests start to allocate quite a bit more. This isn't surprising, because they all allocate zillions of data types, with practically no other code, esp. T1969 * T1969: GHC allocates 19% more * T4801: GHC allocates 13% more * T5321FD: GHC allocates 13% more * T9675: GHC allocates 11% more * T783: GHC allocates 11% more * T5642: GHC allocates 10% more I'm treating this as acceptable. The payoff comes in Typeable-heavy code. Remaining to do ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * I think that "TyCon" and "Module" are over-generic names to use for the runtime type representations used in GHC.Typeable. Better might be "TrTyCon" and "TrModule". But I have not yet done this * Add more info the the "TyCon" e.g. source location where it was defined * Use the new "Module" type to help with Trac Trac #10068 * It would be possible to generate TyConRepName (ie Typeable instances) selectively rather than all the time. We'd need to persist the information in interface files. Lacking a motivating reason I have not done this, but it would not be difficult. Refactoring ~~~~~~~~~~~ As is so often the case, I ended up refactoring more than I intended. In particular * In TyCon, a type *family* (whether type or data) is repesented by a FamilyTyCon * a algebraic data type (including data/newtype instances) is represented by AlgTyCon This wasn't true before; a data family was represented as an AlgTyCon. There are some corresponding changes in IfaceSyn. * Also get rid of the (unhelpfully named) tyConParent. * In TyCon define 'Promoted', isomorphic to Maybe, used when things are optionally promoted; and use it elsewhere in GHC. * Cleanup handling of knownKeyNames * Each TyCon, including promoted TyCons, contains its TyConRepName, if it has one. This is, in effect, the name of its Typeable instance.

* Use IP based CallStack in error and undefinedEric Seidel2015-09-021-13/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies `error`, `undefined`, and `assertError` to use implicit call-stacks to provide better error messages to users. There are a few knock-on effects: - `GHC.Classes.IP` is now wired-in so it can be used in the wired-in types for `error` and `undefined`. - `TysPrim.tyVarList` has been replaced with a new function `TysPrim.mkTemplateTyVars`. `tyVarList` made it easy to introduce subtle bugs when you need tyvars of different kinds. The naive ``` tv1 = head $ tyVarList kind1 tv2 = head $ tyVarList kind2 ``` would result in `tv1` and `tv2` sharing a `Unique`, thus substitutions would be applied incorrectly, treating `tv1` and `tv2` as the same tyvar. `mkTemplateTyVars` avoids this pitfall by taking a list of kinds and producing a single tyvar of each kind. - The types `GHC.SrcLoc.SrcLoc` and `GHC.Stack.CallStack` now live in ghc-prim. - The type `GHC.Exception.ErrorCall` has a new constructor `ErrorCallWithLocation` that takes two `String`s instead of one, the 2nd one being arbitrary metadata about the error (but usually the call-stack). A bi-directional pattern synonym `ErrorCall` continues to provide the old API. Updates Cabal, array, and haddock submodules.

* Permit empty closed type familiesAdam Gundry2015-05-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes #9840 and #10306, and includes an alternative resolution to #8028. This permits empty closed type families, and documents them in the user guide. It updates the Haddock submodule to support the API change. Test Plan: Added `indexed-types/should_compile/T9840` and updated `indexed-types/should_fail/ClosedFam4` and `th/T8028`.
