* Drop pre-AMP compatibility CPP conditionalsHerbert Valerio Riedel2015-12-311-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since GHC 8.1/8.2 only needs to be bootstrap-able by GHC 7.10 and GHC 8.0 (and GHC 8.2), we can now finally drop all that pre-AMP compatibility CPP-mess for good!

* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-111-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Re-export `<$>` from Prelude (#10113)Herbert Valerio Riedel2015-03-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whether to re-export the `<$>` non-method operator from `Prelude` wasn't explicitly covered in the original AMP proposal[1], but it turns out that not doing so forces most code that makes use of applicatives to import `Data.Functor` or `Control.Applicative` just to get that operator into scope. To this end, it was proposed to add `<$>` to Prelude as well[2]. The down-side is that this increases the amount of redundant-import warnings triggered, as well as the relatively minor issue of stealing the `<$>` operator from the default namespace for good (although at this point `<$>` is supposed to be ubiquitous anyway due to `Applicative` being implicitly required into the next Haskell Report) [1]: https://wiki.haskell.org/Functor-Applicative-Monad_Proposal [2]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/24161 Reviewed By: austin, ekmett Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D680
