+This module perfoms checks about if one list of equations are:
+ - Overlapped
+ - Non exhaustive
+
+To discover that we go through the list of equations in a tree-like fashion.
+
+If you like theory, a similar algoritm is described in:
+ Two Tecniques for Compiling Lazy Pattern Matching
+ Luc Maranguet
+ INRIA Rocquencourt (RR-2385, 1994)
+
+The algorithm is based in the first Technique, but there are somo diferences:
+ - We don't generate code
+ - We have constructors and literals (not only literals as in the article)
+ - We don't use directions, we must select the columns from left-to-right
+
+(By the wat the second technique is really similar to the one used in MAtch.lhs to generate code)
+
+
+This function takes the equations of a pattern and returns:
+ - The patterns that are not recognized
+ - The equations that are not overlapped
+
+It symplify the patterns and then call check' (the same semantics),and it needs to
+reconstruct the patterns again ....
+
+The problem appear with things like:
+ f [x,y] = ....
+ f (x:xs) = .....
+
+We want to put the two patterns with the same syntax, (prefix form) and then all the
+constructors are equal:
+ f (: x (: y [])) = ....
+ f (: x xs) = .....
+
+(more about that in symplify_eqns)
+
+We would preffer to have a WarningPat of type String, but Strings and the
+Pretty Printer are not friends.
+
+\begin{code}
+
+data BoxedString = BS String
+
+type WarningPat = InPat BoxedString --Name --String
+type ExhaustivePat = ([WarningPat], [(BoxedString, [HsLit])])
+
+
+instance Outputable BoxedString where
+ ppr sty (BS s) = text s
+
+
+check :: [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+check qs = check' (simplify_eqns qs)
+
+\end{code}
+
+This equation is the same that check, the only difference is that the
+boring work is done, that woprk needs to be done only once, this is
+the reason top have two funtions, check is the external interface,
+check' is called recursively.
+
+There are several cases:
+
+\begin{item}
+\item There are no equations: Everything is okey.
+\item There are only one equation, that can fail, and all the patterns are
+ variables. Then that equation is used and the same equation is
+ nonexhaustive.
+\item All the patterns are variables, and the match can fail,therr are more equations
+ then the results is the result of the rest of equations and this equation is used also.
+
+\item The general case, if all the patterns are variables (here the match can't fail)
+ then the result is that this equation is used and this equation doesn't generate
+ non-exustive cases.
+
+\item In the general case, there can exist literals ,constructors or only vars in the
+ first column, we actuate in consecuence.
+
+\end{item}
+
+
+\begin{code}
+
+check' :: [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+check' [] = ([([],[])],emptyUniqSet)
+
+check' [EqnInfo n ctx ps (MatchResult CanFail _ _)]
+ | all_vars ps = ([(take (length ps) (repeat new_wild_pat),[])], unitUniqSet n)
+
+check' qs@((EqnInfo n ctx ps (MatchResult CanFail _ _)):_)
+ | all_vars ps = (pats, addOneToUniqSet indexs n)
+ where
+ (pats,indexs) = check' (tail qs)
+
+check' qs@((EqnInfo n ctx ps result):_)
+ | all_vars ps = ([], unitUniqSet n)
+-- | nplusk = panic "Check.check': Work in progress: nplusk"
+-- | npat = panic "Check.check': Work in progress: npat ?????"
+ | literals = split_by_literals qs
+ | constructors = split_by_constructor qs
+ | only_vars = first_column_only_vars qs
+ | otherwise = panic "Check.check': Not implemented :-("
+ where
+ constructors = or (map is_con qs)
+ literals = or (map is_lit qs)
+-- npat = or (map is_npat qs)
+-- nplusk = or (map is_nplusk qs)
+ only_vars = and (map is_var qs)
+\end{code}
+
+Here begins the code to deal with literals, we need to split the matrix in diferent matrix
+begining by each literal and a last matrix with the rest of values.
+
+\begin{code}
+split_by_literals :: [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+split_by_literals qs = process_literals used_lits qs
+ where
+ used_lits = get_used_lits qs
+\end{code}
+
+process_explicit_literals is a funtion taht process each literal that appears in
+the column of the matrix.
+
+\begin{code}
+process_explicit_literals :: [HsLit] -> [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+process_explicit_literals lits qs = (concat pats, unionManyUniqSets indexs)
+ where
+ pats_indexs = map (\x -> construct_literal_matrix x qs) lits
+ (pats,indexs) = unzip pats_indexs
+
+\end{code}
+
+
+Process_literals calls process_explicit_literals to deal with the literals taht apears in
+the matrix and deal also sith ther rest of the cases. It must be one Variable to be complete.
+
+\begin{code}
+
+process_literals :: [HsLit] -> [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+process_literals used_lits qs
+ | length default_eqns == 0 = ([make_row_vars used_lits (head qs)]++pats,indexs)
+ | otherwise = (pats_default,indexs_default)
+ where
+ (pats,indexs) = process_explicit_literals used_lits qs
+ default_eqns = (map remove_var (filter is_var qs))
+ (pats',indexs') = check' default_eqns
+ pats_default = [(new_wild_pat:ps,constraints) | (ps,constraints) <- (pats')] ++ pats
+ indexs_default = unionUniqSets indexs' indexs
+\end{code}
+
+Here we have selected the literal and we will select all the equations that begins for that
+literal and create a new matrix.
+
+\begin{code}
+construct_literal_matrix :: HsLit -> [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+construct_literal_matrix lit qs =
+ (map (\ (xs,ys) -> (new_lit:xs,ys)) pats,indexs)
+ where
+ (pats,indexs) = (check' (remove_first_column_lit lit qs))
+ new_lit = LitPatIn lit
+
+remove_first_column_lit :: HsLit
+ -> [EquationInfo]
+ -> [EquationInfo]
+remove_first_column_lit lit qs =
+ map shift_pat (filter (is_var_lit lit) qs)
+ where
+ shift_pat (EqnInfo n ctx [] result) = panic "Check.shift_var: no patterns"
+ shift_pat (EqnInfo n ctx (_:ps) result) = EqnInfo n ctx ps result
+
+\end{code}
+
+This function splits the equations @qs@ in groups that deal with the same constructor
+
+\begin{code}
+
+split_by_constructor :: [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+
+split_by_constructor qs | length unused_cons /= 0 = need_default_case used_cons unused_cons qs
+ | otherwise = no_need_default_case used_cons qs
+ where
+ used_cons = get_used_cons qs
+ unused_cons = get_unused_cons used_cons
+
+\end{code}
+
+The first column of the patterns matrix only have vars, then there is nothing to do.
+
+\begin{code}
+first_column_only_vars :: [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+first_column_only_vars qs = (map (\ (xs,ys) -> (WildPatIn:xs,ys)) pats,indexs)
+ where
+ (pats,indexs) = check' (map remove_var qs)
+
+\end{code}
+
+This equation takes a matrix of patterns and split the equations by constructor, using all
+the constructors that appears in the first column of the pattern matching.
+
+We can need a default clause or not ...., it depends if we used all the constructors or not
+explicitily. The reasoning is similar to process_literals, the difference is that here
+the default case is not allways needed.
+
+\begin{code}
+no_need_default_case :: [TypecheckedPat] -> [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+no_need_default_case cons qs = (concat pats, unionManyUniqSets indexs)
+ where
+ pats_indexs = map (\x -> construct_matrix x qs) cons
+ (pats,indexs) = unzip pats_indexs
+
+need_default_case :: [TypecheckedPat] -> [Id] -> [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+need_default_case used_cons unused_cons qs
+ | length default_eqns == 0 = (pats_default_no_eqns,indexs)
+ | otherwise = (pats_default,indexs_default)
+ where
+ (pats,indexs) = no_need_default_case used_cons qs
+ default_eqns = (map remove_var (filter is_var qs))
+ (pats',indexs') = check' default_eqns
+ pats_default = [(make_whole_con c:ps,constraints) |
+ c <- unused_cons, (ps,constraints) <- pats'] ++ pats
+ new_wilds = make_row_vars_for_constructor (head qs)
+ pats_default_no_eqns = [(make_whole_con c:new_wilds,[]) | c <- unused_cons] ++ pats
+ indexs_default = unionUniqSets indexs' indexs
+
+construct_matrix :: TypecheckedPat -> [EquationInfo] -> ([ExhaustivePat],EqnSet)
+construct_matrix con qs =
+
+ (map (make_con con) pats,indexs)
+ where
+ (pats,indexs) = (check' (remove_first_column con qs))
+\end{code}
+
+Here remove first column is more difficult that with literals due to the fact that
+constructors can have arguments.
+
+for instance, the matrix
+
+ (: x xs) y
+ z y
+
+is transformed in:
+
+ x xs y
+ _ _ y

+
+The difference beteewn make_con and make_whole_con is that make_wole_con creates a new
+constructor with all their arguments, and make_Con takes a list of argumntes, creates
+the contructor geting thir argumnts from the list. See where are used for details.
+
+We need to reconstruct the patterns (make the constructors infix and similar) at the
+same time that we create the constructors.
+
+You can tell tuple constructors using
+
+ Id.isTupleCon
+
+You can see if one contructur is infix with this clearer code :-))))))))))
+
+ Lex.isLexConSym (Name.occNameString (Name.getOccName con))
+
+ Rather clumsy but it works. (Simon Peyton Jones)
+
+
+We con't mind the nilDataCon because it doesn't change the way to print the messsage,
+we are searching only for things like: [1,2,3], not x:xs ....
+
+
+In recontruct_pat we want to "undo" the work taht we have done in simplify_pat
+In particular:
+ ((,) x y) returns to be (x, y)
+ ((:) x xs) returns to be (x:xs)
+ (x:(...:[]) returns to be [x,...]
+
+The dificult case is the third one becouse we need to follow all the contructors until the []
+to know taht we need to use the second case, not the second.
