Note [Canonicalization]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canonicalization converts a simple constraint to a canonical form. It is
unary (i.e. treats individual constraints one at a time).

Constraints originating from user-written code come into being as
CNonCanonicals (except for CHoleCans, arising from holes). We know nothing
about these constraints. So, first:

     Classify CNonCanoncal constraints, depending on whether they
     are equalities, class predicates, or other.

Then proceed depending on the shape of the constraint. Generally speaking,
each constraint gets flattened and then decomposed into one of several forms
(see type Ct in TcRnTypes).

When an already-canonicalized constraint gets kicked out of the inert set,
it must be recanonicalized. But we know a bit about its shape from the
last time through, so we can skip the classification step.

{- Note [The superclass story]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need to add superclass constraints for two reasons:

* For givens [G], they give us a route to proof.  E.g.
    f :: Ord a => a -> Bool
    f x = x == x
  We get a Wanted (Eq a), which can only be solved from the superclass
  of the Given (Ord a).

* For wanteds [W], and deriveds [WD], [D], they may give useful
  functional dependencies.  E.g.
     class C a b | a -> b where ...
     class C a b => D a b where ...
  Now a [W] constraint (D Int beta) has (C Int beta) as a superclass
  and that might tell us about beta, via C's fundeps.  We can get this
  by generating a [D] (C Int beta) constraint.  It's derived because
  we don't actually have to cough up any evidence for it; it's only there
  to generate fundep equalities.

See Note [Why adding superclasses can help].

For these reasons we want to generate superclass constraints for both
Givens and Wanteds. But:

* (Minor) they are often not needed, so generating them aggressively
  is a waste of time.

* (Major) if we want recursive superclasses, there would be an infinite
  number of them.  Here is a real-life example (#10318);

     class (Frac (Frac a) ~ Frac a,
            Fractional (Frac a),
            IntegralDomain (Frac a))
         => IntegralDomain a where
      type Frac a :: *

  Notice that IntegralDomain has an associated type Frac, and one
  of IntegralDomain's superclasses is another IntegralDomain constraint.

So here's the plan:

1. Eagerly generate superclasses for given (but not wanted)
   constraints; see Note [Eagerly expand given superclasses].
   This is done using mkStrictSuperClasses in canClassNC, when
   we take a non-canonical Given constraint and cannonicalise it.

   However stop if you encounter the same class twice.  That is,
   mkStrictSuperClasses expands eagerly, but has a conservative
   termination condition: see Note [Expanding superclasses] in TcType.

2. Solve the wanteds as usual, but do no further expansion of
   superclasses for canonical CDictCans in solveSimpleGivens or
   solveSimpleWanteds; Note [Danger of adding superclasses during solving]

   However, /do/ continue to eagerly expand superclasses for new /given/
   /non-canonical/ constraints (canClassNC does this).  As #12175
   showed, a type-family application can expand to a class constraint,
   and we want to see its superclasses for just the same reason as
   Note [Eagerly expand given superclasses].

3. If we have any remaining unsolved wanteds
        (see Note [When superclasses help] in Constraint)
   try harder: take both the Givens and Wanteds, and expand
   superclasses again.  See the calls to expandSuperClasses in
   TcSimplify.simpl_loop and solveWanteds.

   This may succeed in generating (a finite number of) extra Givens,
   and extra Deriveds. Both may help the proof.

3a An important wrinkle: only expand Givens from the current level.
   Two reasons:
      - We only want to expand it once, and that is best done at
        the level it is bound, rather than repeatedly at the leaves
        of the implication tree
      - We may be inside a type where we can't create term-level
        evidence anyway, so we can't superclass-expand, say,
        (a ~ b) to get (a ~# b).  This happened in #15290.

4. Go round to (2) again.  This loop (2,3,4) is implemented
   in TcSimplify.simpl_loop.

The cc_pend_sc flag in a CDictCan records whether the superclasses of
this constraint have been expanded.  Specifically, in Step 3 we only
expand superclasses for constraints with cc_pend_sc set to true (i.e.
isPendingScDict holds).

Why do we do this?  Two reasons:

* To avoid repeated work, by repeatedly expanding the superclasses of
  same constraint,

* To terminate the above loop, at least in the -XNoRecursiveSuperClasses
  case.  If there are recursive superclasses we could, in principle,
  expand forever, always encountering new constraints.

When we take a CNonCanonical or CIrredCan, but end up classifying it
as a CDictCan, we set the cc_pend_sc flag to False.

Note [Superclass loops]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have
  class C a => D a
  class D a => C a

Then, when we expand superclasses, we'll get back to the self-same
predicate, so we have reached a fixpoint in expansion and there is no
point in fruitlessly expanding further.  This case just falls out from
our strategy.  Consider
  f :: C a => a -> Bool
  f x = x==x
Then canClassNC gets the [G] d1: C a constraint, and eager emits superclasses
G] d2: D a, [G] d3: C a (psc).  (The "psc" means it has its sc_pend flag set.)
When processing d3 we find a match with d1 in the inert set, and we always
keep the inert item (d1) if possible: see Note [Replacement vs keeping] in
TcInteract.  So d3 dies a quick, happy death.

Note [Eagerly expand given superclasses]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In step (1) of Note [The superclass story], why do we eagerly expand
Given superclasses by one layer?  (By "one layer" we mean expand transitively
until you meet the same class again -- the conservative criterion embodied
in expandSuperClasses.  So a "layer" might be a whole stack of superclasses.)
We do this eagerly for Givens mainly because of some very obscure
cases like this:

   instance Bad a => Eq (T a)

   f :: (Ord (T a)) => blah
   f x = ....needs Eq (T a), Ord (T a)....

Here if we can't satisfy (Eq (T a)) from the givens we'll use the
instance declaration; but then we are stuck with (Bad a).  Sigh.
This is really a case of non-confluent proofs, but to stop our users
complaining we expand one layer in advance.

Note [Instance and Given overlap] in TcInteract.

We also want to do this if we have

   f :: F (T a) => blah

where
   type instance F (T a) = Ord (T a)

So we may need to do a little work on the givens to expose the
class that has the superclasses.  That's why the superclass
expansion for Givens happens in canClassNC.

This same scenario happens with quantified constraints, whose superclasses
are also eagerly expanded. Test case: typecheck/should_compile/T16502b
These are handled in canForAllNC, analogously to canClassNC.

Note [Why adding superclasses can help]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examples of how adding superclasses can help:

    --- Example 1
        class C a b | a -> b
    Suppose we want to solve
         [G] C a b
         [W] C a beta
    Then adding [D] beta~b will let us solve it.

    -- Example 2 (similar but using a type-equality superclass)
        class (F a ~ b) => C a b
    And try to sllve:
         [G] C a b
         [W] C a beta
    Follow the superclass rules to add
         [G] F a ~ b
         [D] F a ~ beta
    Now we get [D] beta ~ b, and can solve that.

    -- Example (tcfail138)
      class L a b | a -> b
      class (G a, L a b) => C a b

      instance C a b' => G (Maybe a)
      instance C a b  => C (Maybe a) a
      instance L (Maybe a) a

    When solving the superclasses of the (C (Maybe a) a) instance, we get
      [G] C a b, and hance by superclasses, [G] G a, [G] L a b
      [W] G (Maybe a)
    Use the instance decl to get
      [W] C a beta
    Generate its derived superclass
      [D] L a beta.  Now using fundeps, combine with [G] L a b to get
      [D] beta ~ b
    which is what we want.

Note [Danger of adding superclasses during solving]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a serious, but now out-dated example, from #4497:

   class Num (RealOf t) => Normed t
   type family RealOf x

Assume the generated wanted constraint is:
   [W] RealOf e ~ e
   [W] Normed e

If we were to be adding the superclasses during simplification we'd get:
   [W] RealOf e ~ e
   [W] Normed e
   [D] RealOf e ~ fuv
   [D] Num fuv
==>
   e := fuv, Num fuv, Normed fuv, RealOf fuv ~ fuv

While looks exactly like our original constraint. If we add the
superclass of (Normed fuv) again we'd loop.  By adding superclasses
definitely only once, during canonicalisation, this situation can't
happen.

Mind you, now that Wanteds cannot rewrite Derived, I think this particular
situation can't happen.

Note [Nested quantified constraint superclasses]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider (typecheck/should_compile/T17202)

  class C1 a
  class (forall c. C1 c) => C2 a
  class (forall b. (b ~ F a) => C2 a) => C3 a

Elsewhere in the code, we get a [G] g1 :: C3 a. We expand its superclass
to get [G] g2 :: (forall b. (b ~ F a) => C2 a). This constraint has a
superclass, as well. But we now must be careful: we cannot just add
(forall c. C1 c) as a Given, because we need to remember g2's context.
That new constraint is Given only when forall b. (b ~ F a) is true.

It's tempting to make the new Given be (forall b. (b ~ F a) => forall c. C1 c),
but that's problematic, because it's nested, and ForAllPred is not capable
of representing a nested quantified constraint. (We could change ForAllPred
to allow this, but the solution in this Note is much more local and simpler.)

So, we swizzle it around to get (forall b c. (b ~ F a) => C1 c).

More generally, if we are expanding the superclasses of
  g0 :: forall tvs. theta => cls tys
and find a superclass constraint
  forall sc_tvs. sc_theta => sc_inner_pred
we must have a selector
  sel_id :: forall cls_tvs. cls cls_tvs -> forall sc_tvs. sc_theta => sc_inner_pred
and thus build
  g_sc :: forall tvs sc_tvs. theta => sc_theta => sc_inner_pred
  g_sc = /\ tvs. /\ sc_tvs. \ theta_ids. \ sc_theta_ids.
         sel_id tys (g0 tvs theta_ids) sc_tvs sc_theta_ids

Actually, we cheat a bit by eta-reducing: note that sc_theta_ids are both the
last bound variables and the last arguments. This avoids the need to produce
the sc_theta_ids at all. So our final construction is

  g_sc = /\ tvs. /\ sc_tvs. \ theta_ids.
         sel_id tys (g0 tvs theta_ids) sc_tvs

{- Note [Equality superclasses in quantified constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider (#15359, #15593, #15625)
  f :: (forall a. theta => a ~ b) => stuff

It's a bit odd to have a local, quantified constraint for `(a~b)`,
but some people want such a thing (see the tickets). And for
Coercible it is definitely useful
  f :: forall m. (forall p q. Coercible p q => Coercible (m p) (m q)))
                 => stuff

Moreover it's not hard to arrange; we just need to look up /equality/
constraints in the quantified-constraint environment, which we do in
TcInteract.doTopReactOther.

There is a wrinkle though, in the case where 'theta' is empty, so
we have
  f :: (forall a. a~b) => stuff

Now, potentially, the superclass machinery kicks in, in
makeSuperClasses, giving us a a second quantified constraint
       (forall a. a ~# b)
BUT this is an unboxed value!  And nothing has prepared us for
dictionary "functions" that are unboxed.  Actually it does just
about work, but the simplifier ends up with stuff like
   case (/\a. eq_sel d) of df -> ...(df @Int)...
and fails to simplify that any further.  And it doesn't satisfy
isPredTy any more.

So for now we simply decline to take superclasses in the quantified
case.  Instead we have a special case in TcInteract.doTopReactOther,
which looks for primitive equalities specially in the quantified
constraints.

{- Note [Quantified constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The -XQuantifiedConstraints extension allows type-class contexts like this:

  data Rose f x = Rose x (f (Rose f x))

  instance (Eq a, forall b. Eq b => Eq (f b))
        => Eq (Rose f a)  where
    (Rose x1 rs1) == (Rose x2 rs2) = x1==x2 && rs1 == rs2

Note the (forall b. Eq b => Eq (f b)) in the instance contexts.
This quantified constraint is needed to solve the
 [W] (Eq (f (Rose f x)))
constraint which arises form the (==) definition.

The wiki page is
  https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/quantified-constraints
which in turn contains a link to the GHC Proposal where the change
is specified, and a Haskell Symposium paper about it.

We implement two main extensions to the design in the paper:

 1. We allow a variable in the instance head, e.g.
      f :: forall m a. (forall b. m b) => D (m a)
    Notice the 'm' in the head of the quantified constraint, not
    a class.

 2. We support superclasses to quantified constraints.
    For example (contrived):
      f :: (Ord b, forall b. Ord b => Ord (m b)) => m a -> m a -> Bool
      f x y = x==y
    Here we need (Eq (m a)); but the quantified constraint deals only
    with Ord.  But we can make it work by using its superclass.

Here are the moving parts
  * Language extension {-# LANGUAGE QuantifiedConstraints #-}
    and add it to ghc-boot-th:GHC.LanguageExtensions.Type.Extension

  * A new form of evidence, EvDFun, that is used to discharge
    such wanted constraints

  * checkValidType gets some changes to accept forall-constraints
    only in the right places.

  * Predicate.Pred gets a new constructor ForAllPred, and
    and classifyPredType analyses a PredType to decompose
    the new forall-constraints

  * TcSMonad.InertCans gets an extra field, inert_insts,
    which holds all the Given forall-constraints.  In effect,
    such Given constraints are like local instance decls.

  * When trying to solve a class constraint, via
    TcInteract.matchInstEnv, use the InstEnv from inert_insts
    so that we include the local Given forall-constraints
    in the lookup.  (See TcSMonad.getInstEnvs.)

  * TcCanonical.canForAll deals with solving a
    forall-constraint.  See
       Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint]

  * We augment the kick-out code to kick out an inert
    forall constraint if it can be rewritten by a new
    type equality; see TcSMonad.kick_out_rewritable

Note that a quantified constraint is never /inferred/
(by TcSimplify.simplifyInfer).  A function can only have a
quantified constraint in its type if it is given an explicit
type signature.

{- Note [Solving a Wanted forall-constraint]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solving a wanted forall (quantified) constraint
  [W] df :: forall ab. (Eq a, Ord b) => C x a b
is delightfully easy.   Just build an implication constraint
    forall ab. (g1::Eq a, g2::Ord b) => [W] d :: C x a
and discharge df thus:
    df = /\ab. \g1 g2. let <binds> in d
where <binds> is filled in by solving the implication constraint.
All the machinery is to hand; there is little to do.

Note [Solving a Given forall-constraint]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a Given constraint
  [G] df :: forall ab. (Eq a, Ord b) => C x a b
we just add it to TcS's local InstEnv of known instances,
via addInertForall.  Then, if we look up (C x Int Bool), say,
we'll find a match in the InstEnv.

Note [Canonicalising equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to canonicalise an equality, we look at the structure of the
two types at hand, looking for similarities. A difficulty is that the
types may look dissimilar before flattening but similar after flattening.
However, we don't just want to jump in and flatten right away, because
this might be wasted effort. So, after looking for similarities and failing,
we flatten and then try again. Of course, we don't want to loop, so we
track whether or not we've already flattened.

It is conceivable to do a better job at tracking whether or not a type
is flattened, but this is left as future work. (Mar '15)


Note [FunTy and decomposing tycon applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When can_eq_nc' attempts to decompose a tycon application we haven't yet zonked.
This means that we may very well have a FunTy containing a type of some unknown
kind. For instance, we may have,

    FunTy (a :: k) Int

Where k is a unification variable. tcRepSplitTyConApp_maybe panics in the event
that it sees such a type as it cannot determine the RuntimeReps which the (->)
is applied to. Consequently, it is vital that we instead use
tcRepSplitTyConApp_maybe', which simply returns Nothing in such a case.

When this happens can_eq_nc' will fail to decompose, zonk, and try again.
Zonking should fill the variable k, meaning that decomposition will succeed the
second time around.

{- See Note [Unwrap newtypes first]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
  newtype N m a = MkN (m a)
Then N will get a conservative, Nominal role for its second parameter 'a',
because it appears as an argument to the unknown 'm'. Now consider
  [W] N Maybe a  ~R#  N Maybe b

If we decompose, we'll get
  [W] a ~N# b

But if instead we unwrap we'll get
  [W] Maybe a ~R# Maybe b
which in turn gives us
  [W] a ~R# b
which is easier to satisfy.

Bottom line: unwrap newtypes before decomposing them!
c.f. #9123 comment:52,53 for a compelling example.

Note [Newtypes can blow the stack]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have

  newtype X = MkX (Int -> X)
  newtype Y = MkY (Int -> Y)

and now wish to prove

  [W] X ~R Y

This Wanted will loop, expanding out the newtypes ever deeper looking
for a solid match or a solid discrepancy. Indeed, there is something
appropriate to this looping, because X and Y *do* have the same representation,
in the limit -- they're both (Fix ((->) Int)). However, no finitely-sized
coercion will ever witness it. This loop won't actually cause GHC to hang,
though, because we check our depth when unwrapping newtypes.

Note [Eager reflexivity check]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have

  newtype X = MkX (Int -> X)

and

  [W] X ~R X

Naively, we would start unwrapping X and end up in a loop. Instead,
we do this eager reflexivity check. This is necessary only for representational
equality because the flattener technology deals with the similar case
(recursive type families) for nominal equality.

Note that this check does not catch all cases, but it will catch the cases
we're most worried about, types like X above that are actually inhabited.

Here's another place where this reflexivity check is key:
Consider trying to prove (f a) ~R (f a). The AppTys in there can't
be decomposed, because representational equality isn't congruent with respect
to AppTy. So, when canonicalising the equality above, we get stuck and
would normally produce a CIrredCan. However, we really do want to
be able to solve (f a) ~R (f a). So, in the representational case only,
we do a reflexivity check.

(This would be sound in the nominal case, but unnecessary, and I [Richard
E.] am worried that it would slow down the common case.)

Note [Use canEqFailure in canDecomposableTyConApp]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We must use canEqFailure, not canEqHardFailure here, because there is
the possibility of success if working with a representational equality.
Here is one case:

  type family TF a where TF Char = Bool
  data family DF a
  newtype instance DF Bool = MkDF Int

Suppose we are canonicalising (Int ~R DF (TF a)), where we don't yet
know `a`. This is *not* a hard failure, because we might soon learn
that `a` is, in fact, Char, and then the equality succeeds.

Here is another case:

  [G] Age ~R Int

where Age's constructor is not in scope. We don't want to report
an "inaccessible code" error in the context of this Given!

For example, see typecheck/should_compile/T10493, repeated here:

  import Data.Ord (Down)  -- no constructor

  foo :: Coercible (Down Int) Int => Down Int -> Int
  foo = coerce

That should compile, but only because we use canEqFailure and not
canEqHardFailure.

Note [Decomposing equality]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we have a constraint (of any flavour and role) that looks like
T tys1 ~ T tys2, what can we conclude about tys1 and tys2? The answer,
of course, is "it depends". This Note spells it all out.

In this Note, "decomposition" refers to taking the constraint
  [fl] (T tys1 ~X T tys2)
(for some flavour fl and some role X) and replacing it with
  [fls'] (tys1 ~Xs' tys2)
where that notation indicates a list of new constraints, where the
new constraints may have different flavours and different roles.

The key property to consider is injectivity. When decomposing a Given the
decomposition is sound if and only if T is injective in all of its type
arguments. When decomposing a Wanted, the decomposition is sound (assuming the
correct roles in the produced equality constraints), but it may be a guess --
that is, an unforced decision by the constraint solver. Decomposing Wanteds
over injective TyCons does not entail guessing. But sometimes we want to
decompose a Wanted even when the TyCon involved is not injective! (See below.)

So, in broad strokes, we want this rule:

(*) Decompose a constraint (T tys1 ~X T tys2) if and only if T is injective
at role X.

Pursuing the details requires exploring three axes:
* Flavour: Given vs. Derived vs. Wanted
* Role: Nominal vs. Representational
* TyCon species: datatype vs. newtype vs. data family vs. type family vs. type variable

(So a type variable isn't a TyCon, but it's convenient to put the AppTy case
in the same table.)

Right away, we can say that Derived behaves just as Wanted for the purposes
of decomposition. The difference between Derived and Wanted is the handling of
evidence. Since decomposition in these cases isn't a matter of soundness but of
guessing, we want the same behavior regardless of evidence.

Here is a table (discussion following) detailing where decomposition of
   (T s1 ... sn) ~r (T t1 .. tn)
is allowed.  The first four lines (Data types ... type family) refer
to TyConApps with various TyCons T; the last line is for AppTy, where
there is presumably a type variable at the head, so it's actually
   (s s1 ... sn) ~r (t t1 .. tn)

{1}: Type families can be injective in some, but not all, of their arguments,
so we want to do partial decomposition. This is quite different than the way
other decomposition is done, where the decomposed equalities replace the original
one. We thus proceed much like we do with superclasses: emitting new Givens
when "decomposing" a partially-injective type family Given and new Deriveds
when "decomposing" a partially-injective type family Wanted. (As of the time of
writing, 13 June 2015, the implementation of injective type families has not
been merged, but it should be soon. Please delete this parenthetical if the
implementation is indeed merged.)

{2}: See Note [Decomposing newtypes at representational role]

{3}: Because of the possibility of newtype instances, we must treat
data families like newtypes. See also Note [Decomposing newtypes at
representational role]. See #10534 and test case
typecheck/should_fail/T10534.

{4}: Because type variables can stand in for newtypes, we conservatively do not
decompose AppTys over representational equality.

In the implementation of can_eq_nc and friends, we don't directly pattern
match using lines like in the tables above, as those tables don't cover
all cases (what about PrimTyCon? tuples?). Instead we just ask about injectivity,
boiling the tables above down to rule (*). The exceptions to rule (*) are for
injective type families, which are handled separately from other decompositions,
and the MAYBE entries above.

Note [Decomposing newtypes at representational role]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This note discusses the 'newtype' line in the REPRESENTATIONAL table
in Note [Decomposing equality]. (At nominal role, newtypes are fully
decomposable.)

Here is a representative example of why representational equality over
newtypes is tricky:

  newtype Nt a = Mk Bool         -- NB: a is not used in the RHS,
  type role Nt representational  -- but the user gives it an R role anyway

If we have [W] Nt alpha ~R Nt beta, we *don't* want to decompose to
[W] alpha ~R beta, because it's possible that alpha and beta aren't
representationally equal. Here's another example.

  newtype Nt a = MkNt (Id a)
  type family Id a where Id a = a

  [W] Nt Int ~R Nt Age

Because of its use of a type family, Nt's parameter will get inferred to have
a nominal role. Thus, decomposing the wanted will yield [W] Int ~N Age, which
is unsatisfiable. Unwrapping, though, leads to a solution.

Conclusion:
 * Unwrap newtypes before attempting to decompose them.
   This is done in can_eq_nc'.

It all comes from the fact that newtypes aren't necessarily injective
w.r.t. representational equality.

Furthermore, as explained in Note [NthCo and newtypes] in TyCoRep, we can't use
NthCo on representational coercions over newtypes. NthCo comes into play
only when decomposing givens.

Conclusion:
 * Do not decompose [G] N s ~R N t

Is it sensible to decompose *Wanted* constraints over newtypes?  Yes!
It's the only way we could ever prove (IO Int ~R IO Age), recalling
that IO is a newtype.

However we must be careful.  Consider

  type role Nt representational

  [G] Nt a ~R Nt b       (1)
  [W] NT alpha ~R Nt b   (2)
  [W] alpha ~ a          (3)

If we focus on (3) first, we'll substitute in (2), and now it's
identical to the given (1), so we succeed.  But if we focus on (2)
first, and decompose it, we'll get (alpha ~R b), which is not soluble.
This is exactly like the question of overlapping Givens for class
constraints: see Note [Instance and Given overlap] in TcInteract.

Conclusion:
  * Decompose [W] N s ~R N t  iff there no given constraint that could
    later solve it.

Note [Decomposing TyConApps]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we see (T s1 t1 ~ T s2 t2), then we can just decompose to
  (s1 ~ s2, t1 ~ t2)
and push those back into the work list.  But if
  s1 = K k1    s2 = K k2
then we will just decomopose s1~s2, and it might be better to
do so on the spot.  An important special case is where s1=s2,
and we get just Refl.

So canDecomposableTyCon is a fast-path decomposition that uses
unifyWanted etc to short-cut that work.

Note [Canonicalising type applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given (s1 t1) ~ ty2, how should we proceed?
The simple things is to see if ty2 is of form (s2 t2), and
decompose.  By this time s1 and s2 can't be saturated type
function applications, because those have been dealt with
by an earlier equation in can_eq_nc, so it is always sound to
decompose.

However, over-eager decomposition gives bad error messages
for things like
   a b ~ Maybe c
   e f ~ p -> q
Suppose (in the first example) we already know a~Array.  Then if we
decompose the application eagerly, yielding
   a ~ Maybe
   b ~ c
we get an error        "Can't match Array ~ Maybe",
but we'd prefer to get "Can't match Array b ~ Maybe c".

So instead can_eq_wanted_app flattens the LHS and RHS, in the hope of
replacing (a b) by (Array b), before using try_decompose_app to
decompose it.

Note [Make sure that insolubles are fully rewritten]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When an equality fails, we still want to rewrite the equality
all the way down, so that it accurately reflects
 (a) the mutable reference substitution in force at start of solving
 (b) any ty-binds in force at this point in solving
See Note [Rewrite insolubles] in TcSMonad.
And if we don't do this there is a bad danger that
TcSimplify.applyTyVarDefaulting will find a variable
that has in fact been substituted.

Note [Do not decompose Given polytype equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider [G] (forall a. t1 ~ forall a. t2).  Can we decompose this?
No -- what would the evidence look like?  So instead we simply discard
this given evidence.


Note [Combining insoluble constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As this point we have an insoluble constraint, like Int~Bool.

 * If it is Wanted, delete it from the cache, so that subsequent
   Int~Bool constraints give rise to separate error messages

 * But if it is Derived, DO NOT delete from cache.  A class constraint
   may get kicked out of the inert set, and then have its functional
   dependency Derived constraints generated a second time. In that
   case we don't want to get two (or more) error messages by
   generating two (or more) insoluble fundep constraints from the same
   class constraint.

Note [No top-level newtypes on RHS of representational equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we're in this situation:

 work item:  [W] c1 : a ~R b
     inert:  [G] c2 : b ~R Id a

where
  newtype Id a = Id a

We want to make sure canEqTyVar sees [W] a ~R a, after b is flattened
and the Id newtype is unwrapped. This is assured by requiring only flat
types in canEqTyVar *and* having the newtype-unwrapping check above
the tyvar check in can_eq_nc.

Note [Occurs check error]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we have an occurs check error, are we necessarily hosed? Say our
tyvar is tv1 and the type it appears in is xi2. Because xi2 is function
free, then if we're computing w.r.t. nominal equality, then, yes, we're
hosed. Nothing good can come from (a ~ [a]). If we're computing w.r.t.
representational equality, this is a little subtler. Once again, (a ~R [a])
is a bad thing, but (a ~R N a) for a newtype N might be just fine. This
means also that (a ~ b a) might be fine, because `b` might become a newtype.

So, we must check: does tv1 appear in xi2 under any type constructor
that is generative w.r.t. representational equality? That's what
isInsolubleOccursCheck does.

See also #10715, which induced this addition.

Note [canCFunEqCan]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flattening the arguments to a type family can change the kind of the type
family application. As an easy example, consider (Any k) where (k ~ Type)
is in the inert set. The original (Any k :: k) becomes (Any Type :: Type).
The problem here is that the fsk in the CFunEqCan will have the old kind.

The solution is to come up with a new fsk/fmv of the right kind. For
givens, this is easy: just introduce a new fsk and update the flat-cache
with the new one. For wanteds, we want to solve the old one if favor of
the new one, so we use dischargeFmv. This also kicks out constraints
from the inert set; this behavior is correct, as the kind-change may
allow more constraints to be solved.

We use `isTcReflexiveCo`, to ensure that we only use the hetero-kinded case
if we really need to.  Of course `flattenArgsNom` should return `Refl`
whenever possible, but #15577 was an infinite loop because even
though the coercion was homo-kinded, `kind_co` was not `Refl`, so we
made a new (identical) CFunEqCan, and then the entire process repeated.

Note [Canonical orientation for tyvar/tyvar equality constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we have a ~ b where both 'a' and 'b' are TcTyVars, which way
round should be oriented in the CTyEqCan?  The rules, implemented by
canEqTyVarTyVar, are these

 * If either is a flatten-meta-variables, it goes on the left.

 * Put a meta-tyvar on the left if possible
       alpha[3] ~ r

 * If both are meta-tyvars, put the more touchable one (deepest level
   number) on the left, so there is the best chance of unifying it
        alpha[3] ~ beta[2]

 * If both are meta-tyvars and both at the same level, put a TyVarTv
   on the right if possible
        alpha[2] ~ beta[2](sig-tv)
   That way, when we unify alpha := beta, we don't lose the TyVarTv flag.

 * Put a meta-tv with a System Name on the left if possible so it
   gets eliminated (improves error messages)

 * If one is a flatten-skolem, put it on the left so that it is
   substituted out  Note [Eliminate flat-skols] in TcUinfy
        fsk ~ a

Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do we do when we have an equality

  (tv :: k1) ~ (rhs :: k2)

where k1 and k2 differ? This Note explores this treacherous area.

We must proceed differently here depending on whether we have a Wanted
or a Given. Consider this:

 [W] w :: (alpha :: k) ~ (Int :: Type)

where k is a skolem. One possible way forward is this:

 [W] co :: k ~ Type
 [W] w :: (alpha :: k) ~ (Int |> sym co :: k)

The next step will be to unify

  alpha := Int |> sym co

Now, consider what error we'll report if we can't solve the "co"
wanted. Its CtOrigin is the w wanted... which now reads (after zonking)
Int ~ Int. The user thus sees that GHC can't solve Int ~ Int, which
is embarrassing. See #11198 for more tales of destruction.

The reason for this odd behavior is much the same as
Note [Wanteds do not rewrite Wanteds] in Constraint: note that the
new `co` is a Wanted.

The solution is then not to use `co` to "rewrite" -- that is, cast -- `w`, but
instead to keep `w` heterogeneous and irreducible. Given that we're not using
`co`, there is no reason to collect evidence for it, so `co` is born a
Derived, with a CtOrigin of KindEqOrigin. When the Derived is solved (by
unification), the original wanted (`w`) will get kicked out. We thus get

[D] _ :: k ~ Type
[W] w :: (alpha :: k) ~ (Int :: Type)

Note that the Wanted is unchanged and will be irreducible. This all happens
in canEqTyVarHetero.

Note that, if we had [G] co1 :: k ~ Type available, then we never get
to canEqTyVarHetero: canEqTyVar tries flattening the kinds first. If
we have [G] co1 :: k ~ Type, then flattening the kind of alpha would
rewrite k to Type, and we would end up in canEqTyVarHomo.

Successive canonicalizations of the same Wanted may produce
duplicate Deriveds. Similar duplications can happen with fundeps, and there
seems to be no easy way to avoid. I expect this case to be rare.

For Givens, this problem (the Wanteds-rewriting-Wanteds action of
a kind coercion) doesn't bite, so a heterogeneous Given gives
rise to a Given kind equality. No Deriveds here. We thus homogenise
the Given (see the "homo_co" in the Given case in canEqTyVarHetero) and
carry on with a homogeneous equality constraint.

Note [Type synonyms and canonicalization]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We treat type synonym applications as xi types, that is, they do not
count as type function applications.  However, we do need to be a bit
careful with type synonyms: like type functions they may not be
generative or injective.  However, unlike type functions, they are
parametric, so there is no problem in expanding them whenever we see
them, since we do not need to know anything about their arguments in
order to expand them; this is what justifies not having to treat them
as specially as type function applications.  The thing that causes
some subtleties is that we prefer to leave type synonym applications
*unexpanded* whenever possible, in order to generate better error
messages.

If we encounter an equality constraint with type synonym applications
on both sides, or a type synonym application on one side and some sort
of type application on the other, we simply must expand out the type
synonyms in order to continue decomposing the equality constraint into
primitive equality constraints.  For example, suppose we have

  type F a = [Int]

and we encounter the equality

  F a ~ [b]

In order to continue we must expand F a into [Int], giving us the
equality

  [Int] ~ [b]

which we can then decompose into the more primitive equality
constraint

  Int ~ b.

However, if we encounter an equality constraint with a type synonym
application on one side and a variable on the other side, we should
NOT (necessarily) expand the type synonym, since for the purpose of
good error messages we want to leave type synonyms unexpanded as much
as possible.  Hence the ps_xi1, ps_xi2 argument passed to canEqTyVar.

not _look_ the same as old_pred, and it's vital to proceed from now on
using new_pred.

qThe flattener preserves type synonyms, so they should appear in new_pred
as well as in old_pred; that is important for good error messages.

{- Note [unifyWanted and unifyDerived]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When decomposing equalities we often create new wanted constraints for
(s ~ t).  But what if s=t?  Then it'd be faster to return Refl right away.
Similar remarks apply for Derived.

Rather than making an equality test (which traverses the structure of the
type, perhaps fruitlessly), unifyWanted traverses the common structure, and
bales out when it finds a difference by creating a new Wanted constraint.
But where it succeeds in finding common structure, it just builds a coercion
to reflect it.
