* vectorise: Put it out of its miseryBen Gamari2018-06-025-828/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Poor DPH and its vectoriser have long been languishing; sadly it seems there is little chance that the effort will be rekindled. Every few years we discuss what to do with this mass of code and at least once we have agreed that it should be archived on a branch and removed from `master`. Here we do just that, eliminating heaps of dead code in the process. Here we drop the ParallelArrays extension, the vectoriser, and the `vector` and `primitive` submodules.

* Use lengthIs and friends in more placesRyan Scott2017-06-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While investigating #12545, I discovered several places in the code that performed length-checks like so: ``` length ts == 4 ``` This is not ideal, since the length of `ts` could be much longer than 4, and we'd be doing way more work than necessary! There are already a slew of helper functions in `Util` such as `lengthIs` that are designed to do this efficiently, so I found every place where they ought to be used and did just that. I also defined a couple more utility functions for list length that were common patterns (e.g., `ltLength`).

* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-115-32/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

* Add LANGUAGE pragmas to compiler/ source filesHerbert Valerio Riedel2014-05-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases, the layout of the LANGUAGE/OPTIONS_GHC lines has been reorganized, while following the convention, to - place `{-# LANGUAGE #-}` pragmas at the top of the source file, before any `{-# OPTIONS_GHC #-}`-lines. - Moreover, if the list of language extensions fit into a single `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-line (shorter than 80 characters), keep it on one line. Otherwise split into `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-lines for each individual language extension. In both cases, try to keep the enumeration alphabetically ordered. (The latter layout is preferable as it's more diff-friendly) While at it, this also replaces obsolete `{-# OPTIONS ... #-}` pragma occurences by `{-# OPTIONS_GHC ... #-}` pragmas.
* Implement "roles" into GHC.Richard Eisenberg2013-08-022-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Roles are a solution to the GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving type-safety problem.

The implementation is a little different than that paper. For a quick primer, check out Note [Roles] in Coercion. Also see http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Roles and http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/RolesImplementation For a more formal treatment, check out docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf.

* Revise implementation of overlapping type family instances.Richard Eisenberg2013-06-212-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes the syntax and story around overlapping type family instances. Before, we had "unbranched" instances and "branched" instances. Now, we have closed type families and open ones. The behavior of open families is completely unchanged. In particular, coincident overlap of open type family instances still works, despite emails to the contrary. A closed type family is declared like this: > type family F a where > F Int = Bool > F a = Char The equations are tried in order, from top to bottom, subject to certain constraints, as described in the user manual. It is not allowed to declare an instance of a closed family.
* Implement overlapping type family instances.Richard Eisenberg2012-12-212-10/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An ordered, overlapping type family instance is introduced by 'type instance where', followed by equations. See the new section in the user manual (7.7.2.2) for details. The canonical example is Boolean equality at the type level: type family Equals (a :: k) (b :: k) :: Bool type instance where Equals a a = True Equals a b = False A branched family instance, such as this one, checks its equations in order and applies only the first the matches. As explained in the note [Instance checking within groups] in FamInstEnv.lhs, we must be careful not to simplify, say, (Equals Int b) to False, because b might later unify with Int. This commit includes all of the commits on the overlapping-tyfams branch. SPJ requested that I combine all my commits over the past several months into one monolithic commit. The following GHC repos are affected: ghc, testsuite, utils/haddock, libraries/template-haskell, and libraries/dph. Here are some details for the interested: - The definition of CoAxiom has been moved from TyCon.lhs to a new file CoAxiom.lhs. I made this decision because of the number of definitions necessary to support BranchList. - BranchList is a GADT whose type tracks whether it is a singleton list or not-necessarily-a-singleton-list. The reason I introduced this type is to increase static checking of places where GHC code assumes that a FamInst or CoAxiom is indeed a singleton. This assumption takes place roughly 10 times throughout the code. I was worried that a future change to GHC would invalidate the assumption, and GHC might subtly fail to do the right thing. By explicitly labeling CoAxioms and FamInsts as being Unbranched (singleton) or Branched (not-necessarily-singleton), we make this assumption explicit and checkable. Furthermore, to enforce the accuracy of this label, the list of branches of a CoAxiom or FamInst is stored using a BranchList, whose constructors constrain its type index appropriately. I think that the decision to use BranchList is probably the most controversial decision I made from a code design point of view. Although I provide conversions to/from ordinary lists, it is more efficient to use the brList... functions provided in CoAxiom than always to convert. The use of these functions does not wander far from the core CoAxiom/FamInst logic. BranchLists are motivated and explained in the note [Branched axioms] in CoAxiom.lhs. - The CoAxiom type has changed significantly. You can see the new type in CoAxiom.lhs. It uses a CoAxBranch type to track branches of the CoAxiom. Correspondingly various functions producing and consuming CoAxioms had to change, including the binary layout of interface files. - To get branched axioms to work correctly, it is important to have a notion of type "apartness": two types are apart if they cannot unify, and no substitution of variables can ever get them to unify, even after type family simplification. (This is different than the normal failure to unify because of the type family bit.) This notion in encoded in tcApartTys, in Unify.lhs. Because apartness is finer-grained than unification, the tcUnifyTys now calls tcApartTys. - CoreLinting axioms has been updated, both to reflect the new form of CoAxiom and to enforce the apartness rules of branch application. The formalization of the new rules is in docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf. - The FamInst type (in types/FamInstEnv.lhs) has changed significantly, paralleling the changes to CoAxiom. Of course, this forced minor changes in many files. - There are several new Notes in FamInstEnv.lhs, including one discussing confluent overlap and why we're not doing it. - lookupFamInstEnv, lookupFamInstEnvConflicts, and lookup_fam_inst_env' (the function that actually does the work) have all been more-or-less completely rewritten. There is a Note [lookup_fam_inst_env' implementation] describing the implementation. One of the changes that affects other files is to change the type of matches from a pair of (FamInst, [Type]) to a new datatype (which now includes the index of the matching branch). This seemed a better design. - The TySynInstD constructor in Template Haskell was updated to use the new datatype TySynEqn. I also bumped the TH version number, requiring changes to DPH cabal files. (That's why the DPH repo has an overlapping-tyfams branch.) - As SPJ requested, I refactored some of the code in HsDecls: * splitting up TyDecl into SynDecl and DataDecl, correspondingly changing HsTyDefn to HsDataDefn (with only one constructor) * splitting FamInstD into TyFamInstD and DataFamInstD and splitting FamInstDecl into DataFamInstDecl and TyFamInstDecl * making the ClsInstD take a ClsInstDecl, for parallelism with InstDecl's other constructors * changing constructor TyFamily into FamDecl * creating a FamilyDecl type that stores the details for a family declaration; this is useful because FamilyDecls can appear in classes but other decls cannot * restricting the associated types and associated type defaults for a * class to be the new, more restrictive types * splitting cid_fam_insts into cid_tyfam_insts and cid_datafam_insts, according to the new types * perhaps one or two more that I'm overlooking None of these changes has far-reaching implications. - The user manual, section 7.7.2.2, is updated to describe the new type family instances.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch should have no user-visible effect. It implements a significant internal refactoring of the way that FC axioms are handled. The ultimate goal is to put us in a position to implement "pattern-matching axioms". But the changes here are only does refactoring; there is no change in functionality. Specifically: * We now treat data/type family instance declarations very, very similarly to types class instance declarations: - Renamed InstEnv.Instance as InstEnv.ClsInst, for symmetry with FamInstEnv.FamInst. This change does affect the GHC API, but for the better I think. - Previously, each family type/data instance declaration gave rise to a *TyCon*; typechecking a type/data instance decl produced that TyCon. Now, each type/data instance gives rise to a *FamInst*, by direct analogy with each class instance declaration giving rise to a ClsInst. - Just as each ClsInst contains its evidence, a DFunId, so each FamInst contains its evidence, a CoAxiom. See Note [FamInsts and CoAxioms] in FamInstEnv. The CoAxiom is a System-FC thing, and can relate any two types, whereas the FamInst relates directly to the Haskell source language construct, and always has a function (F tys) on the LHS. - Just as a DFunId has its own declaration in an interface file, so now do CoAxioms (see IfaceSyn.IfaceAxiom). These changes give rise to almost all the refactoring. * We used to have a hack whereby a type family instance produced a dummy type synonym, thus type instance F Int = Bool -> Bool translated to axiom FInt :: F Int ~ R:FInt type R:FInt = Bool -> Bool This was always a hack, and now it's gone. Instead the type instance declaration produces a FamInst, whose axiom has kind axiom FInt :: F Int ~ Bool -> Bool just as you'd expect. * Newtypes are done just as before; they generate a CoAxiom. These CoAxioms are "implicit" (do not generate an IfaceAxiom declaration), unlike the ones coming from family instance declarations. See Note [Implicit axioms] in TyCon On the whole the code gets significantly nicer. There were consequential tidy-ups in the vectoriser, but I think I got them right.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically as documented in http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/KindFact, this patch adds a new kind Constraint such that: Show :: * -> Constraint (?x::Int) :: Constraint (Int ~ a) :: Constraint And you can write *any* type with kind Constraint to the left of (=>): even if that type is a type synonym, type variable, indexed type or so on. The following (somewhat related) changes are also made: 1. We now box equality evidence. This is required because we want to give (Int ~ a) the *lifted* kind Constraint 2. For similar reasons, implicit parameters can now only be of a lifted kind. (?x::Int#) => ty is now ruled out 3. Implicit parameter constraints are now allowed in superclasses and instance contexts (this just falls out as OK with the new constraint solver) Internally the following major changes were made: 1. There is now no PredTy in the Type data type. Instead GHC checks the kind of a type to figure out if it is a predicate 2. There is now no AClass TyThing: we represent classes as TyThings just as a ATyCon (classes had TyCons anyway) 3. What used to be (~) is now pretty-printed as (~#). The box constructor EqBox :: (a ~# b) -> (a ~ b) 4. The type LCoercion is used internally in the constraint solver and type checker to represent coercions with free variables of type (a ~ b) rather than (a ~# b)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | See the paper "Practical aspects of evidence based compilation in System FC" * Coercion becomes a data type, distinct from Type * Coercions become value-level things, rather than type-level things, (although the value is zero bits wide, like the State token) A consequence is that a coerion abstraction increases the arity by 1 (just like a dictionary abstraction) * There is a new constructor in CoreExpr, namely Coercion, to inject coercions into terms
