* Add kind equalities to GHC.Richard Eisenberg2015-12-111-19/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Make configure error out on missing ghc-tarballs on WindowsTamar Christina2015-07-301-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently checking out the source on windows requires two git checkouts. One for the GHC sources and one for the GHC-tarballs. This patch will make configure issue an error if compiling under windows and the GHC-tarballs folder is missing. On failure the user is told which command they need to run to get the tarballs or if they want configure to handle it for them configure provide the `--enable-tarballs-autodownload` flag. Test Plan: 1. make sure ghc-tarballs folder is not present 2. run ./configure which should fail giving an error that tarballs is missing and how to get it 3. run ./configure --enable-tarballs-autodownload and the tarballs should be downloaded and configure finishes 4. rerun the command in 3, no new download should be done. 5. run configure without --enable-tarballs-autodownload, configure should finish correctly.
