Type vs Constraint: finally nailed
This big patch addresses the rats-nest of issues that have plagued
us for years, about the relationship between Type and Constraint.
See #11715/#21623.
The main payload of the patch is:
* To introduce CONSTRAINT :: RuntimeRep -> Type
* To make TYPE and CONSTRAINT distinct throughout the compiler
Two overview Notes in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim
* Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]
* Note [Type and Constraint are not apart]
This is the main complication.
The specifics
* New primitive types (GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim)
- CONSTRAINT
- ctArrowTyCon (=>)
- tcArrowTyCon (-=>)
- ccArrowTyCon (==>)
- funTyCon FUN -- Not new
See Note [Function type constructors and FunTy]
and Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]
* GHC.Builtin.Types:
- New type Constraint = CONSTRAINT LiftedRep
- I also stopped nonEmptyTyCon being built-in; it only needs to be wired-in
* Exploit the fact that Type and Constraint are distinct throughout GHC
- Get rid of tcView in favour of coreView.
- Many tcXX functions become XX functions.
e.g. tcGetCastedTyVar --> getCastedTyVar
* Kill off Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality], in (old)
GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical. It said that typechecker-equality should ignore
the specified/inferred distinction when comparein two ForAllTys. But
that wsa only weakly supported and (worse) implies that we need a separate
typechecker equality, different from core equality. No no no.
* GHC.Core.TyCon: kill off FunTyCon in data TyCon. There was no need for it,
and anyway now we have four of them!
* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep: add two FunTyFlags to FunCo
See Note [FunCo] in that module.
* GHC.Core.Type. Lots and lots of changes driven by adding CONSTRAINT.
The key new function is sORTKind_maybe; most other changes are built
on top of that.
See also `funTyConAppTy_maybe` and `tyConAppFun_maybe`.
* Fix a longstanding bug in GHC.Core.Type.typeKind, and Core Lint, in
kinding ForAllTys. See new tules (FORALL1) and (FORALL2) in GHC.Core.Type.
(The bug was that before (forall (cv::t1 ~# t2). blah), where
blah::TYPE IntRep, would get kind (TYPE IntRep), but it should be
(TYPE LiftedRep). See Note [Kinding rules for types] in GHC.Core.Type.
* GHC.Core.TyCo.Compare is a new module in which we do eqType and cmpType.
Of course, no tcEqType any more.
* GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs. I moved some free-var-like function into this module:
tyConsOfType, visVarsOfType, and occCheckExpand. Refactoring only.
* GHC.Builtin.Types. Compiletely re-engineer boxingDataCon_maybe to
have one for each /RuntimeRep/, rather than one for each /Type/.
This dramatically widens the range of types we can auto-box.
See Note [Boxing constructors] in GHC.Builtin.Types
The boxing types themselves are declared in library ghc-prim:GHC.Types.
GHC.Core.Make. Re-engineer the treatment of "big" tuples (mkBigCoreVarTup
etc) GHC.Core.Make, so that it auto-boxes unboxed values and (crucially)
types of kind Constraint. That allows the desugaring for arrows to work;
it gathers up free variables (including dictionaries) into tuples.
See Note [Big tuples] in GHC.Core.Make.
There is still work to do here: #22336. But things are better than
before.
* GHC.Core.Make. We need two absent-error Ids, aBSENT_ERROR_ID for types of
kind Type, and aBSENT_CONSTRAINT_ERROR_ID for vaues of kind Constraint.
Ditto noInlineId vs noInlieConstraintId in GHC.Types.Id.Make;
see Note [inlineId magic].
* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep. Completely refactor the NthCo coercion. It is now called
SelCo, and its fields are much more descriptive than the single Int we used to
have. A great improvement. See Note [SelCo] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.
* GHC.Core.RoughMap.roughMatchTyConName. Collapse TYPE and CONSTRAINT to
a single TyCon, so that the rough-map does not distinguish them.
* GHC.Core.DataCon
- Mainly just improve documentation
* Some significant renamings:
GHC.Core.Multiplicity: Many --> ManyTy (easier to grep for)
One --> OneTy
GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep TyCoBinder --> GHC.Core.Var.PiTyBinder
GHC.Core.Var TyCoVarBinder --> ForAllTyBinder
AnonArgFlag --> FunTyFlag
ArgFlag --> ForAllTyFlag
GHC.Core.TyCon TyConTyCoBinder --> TyConPiTyBinder
Many functions are renamed in consequence
e.g. isinvisibleArgFlag becomes isInvisibleForAllTyFlag, etc
* I refactored FunTyFlag (was AnonArgFlag) into a simple, flat data type
data FunTyFlag
= FTF_T_T -- (->) Type -> Type
| FTF_T_C -- (-=>) Type -> Constraint
| FTF_C_T -- (=>) Constraint -> Type
| FTF_C_C -- (==>) Constraint -> Constraint
* GHC.Tc.Errors.Ppr. Some significant refactoring in the TypeEqMisMatch case
of pprMismatchMsg.
* I made the tyConUnique field of TyCon strict, because I
saw code with lots of silly eval's. That revealed that
GHC.Settings.Constants.mAX_SUM_SIZE can only be 63, because
we pack the sum tag into a 6-bit field. (Lurking bug squashed.)
Fixes
* #21530
Updates haddock submodule slightly.
Performance changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was worried that compile times would get worse, but after
some careful profiling we are down to a geometric mean 0.1%
increase in allocation (in perf/compiler). That seems fine.
There is a big runtime improvement in T10359
Metric Decrease:
LargeRecord
MultiLayerModulesTH_OneShot
T13386
T13719
Metric Increase:
