* Kill floatEqualities completelySimon Peyton Jones2020-12-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch delivers on #17656, by entirel killing off the complex floatEqualities mechanism. Previously, floatEqualities would float an equality out of an implication, so that it could be solved at an outer level. But now we simply do unification in-place, without floating the constraint, relying on level numbers to determine untouchability. There are a number of important new Notes: * GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify Note [Unification preconditions] describes the preconditions for unification, including both skolem-escape and touchability. * GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact Note [Solve by unification] describes what we do when we do unify * GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad Note [The Unification Level Flag] describes how we control solver iteration under this new scheme * GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad Note [Tracking Given equalities] describes how we track when we have Given equalities * GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint Note [HasGivenEqs] is a new explanation of the ic_given_eqs field of an implication A big raft of subtle Notes in Solver, concerning floatEqualities, disappears. Main code changes: * GHC.Tc.Solver.floatEqualities disappears entirely * GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad: new fields in InertCans, inert_given_eq_lvl and inert_given_eq, updated by updateGivenEqs See Note [Tracking Given equalities]. * In exchange for updateGivenEqa, GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad.getHasGivenEqs is much simpler and more efficient * I found I could kill of metaTyVarUpdateOK entirely One test case T14683 showed a 5.1% decrease in compile-time allocation; and T5631 was down 2.2%. Other changes were small. Metric Decrease: T14683 T5631
* Quick Look: zonk result typeSimon Peyton Jones2020-12-191-19/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provoked by #18987, this patch adds a missing zonkQuickLook of app_res_rho in tcApp. Most of the time this zonk is unnecesary. In fact, I can't think of a concrete case where it is needed -- hence no test. But even if it isn't necessary, the reasoning that allows it to be omitted is very subtle. So I've put it in. However, adding this zonk does /not/ affect the emitted constraints, so the reported symptoms for #18987 remain, but harmlessly so, and now documented in a new Note [Instantiation variables are short lived] in GHC.Tc.Gen.App. No change in behaviour, no tests.
* Name (tc)SplitForAll- functions more consistentlyRyan Scott2020-11-151-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a zoo of `splitForAll-` functions in `GHC.Core.Type` (as well as `tcSplitForAll-` functions in `GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType`) that all do very similar things, but vary in the particular form of type variable that they return. To make things worse, the names of these functions are often quite misleading. Some particularly egregious examples: * `splitForAllTys` returns `TyCoVar`s, but `splitSomeForAllTys` returns `VarBndr`s. * `splitSomeForAllTys` returns `VarBndr`s, but `tcSplitSomeForAllTys` returns `TyVar`s. * `splitForAllTys` returns `TyCoVar`s, but `splitForAllTysInvis` returns `InvisTVBinder`s. (This in particular arose in the context of #18939, and this finally motivated me to bite the bullet and improve the status quo vis-à-vis how we name these functions.) In an attempt to bring some sanity to how these functions are named, I have opted to rename most of these functions en masse to use consistent suffixes that describe the particular form of type variable that each function returns. In concrete terms, this amounts to: * Functions that return a `TyVar` now use the suffix `-TyVar`. This caused the following functions to be renamed: * `splitTyVarForAllTys` -> `splitForAllTyVars` * `splitForAllTy_ty_maybe` -> `splitForAllTyVar_maybe` * `tcSplitForAllTys` -> `tcSplitForAllTyVars` * `tcSplitSomeForAllTys` -> `tcSplitSomeForAllTyVars` * Functions that return a `CoVar` now use the suffix `-CoVar`. This caused the following functions to be renamed: * `splitForAllTy_co_maybe` -> `splitForAllCoVar_maybe` * Functions that return a `TyCoVar` now use the suffix `-TyCoVar`. This caused the following functions to be renamed: * `splitForAllTy` -> `splitForAllTyCoVar` * `splitForAllTys` -> `splitForAllTyCoVars` * `splitForAllTys'` -> `splitForAllTyCoVars'` * `splitForAllTy_maybe` -> `splitForAllTyCoVar_maybe` * Functions that return a `VarBndr` now use the suffix corresponding to the most relevant type synonym. This caused the following functions to be renamed: * `splitForAllVarBndrs` -> `splitForAllTyCoVarBinders` * `splitForAllTysInvis` -> `splitForAllInvisTVBinders` * `splitForAllTysReq` -> `splitForAllReqTVBinders` * `splitSomeForAllTys` -> `splitSomeForAllTyCoVarBndrs` * `tcSplitForAllVarBndrs` -> `tcSplitForAllTyVarBinders` * `tcSplitForAllTysInvis` -> `tcSplitForAllInvisTVBinders` * `tcSplitForAllTysReq` -> `tcSplitForAllReqTVBinders` * `tcSplitForAllTy_maybe` -> `tcSplitForAllTyVarBinder_maybe` Note that I left the following functions alone: * Functions that split apart things besides `ForAllTy`s, such as `splitFunTys` or `splitPiTys`. Thankfully, there are far fewer of these functions than there are functions that split apart `ForAllTy`s, so there isn't much of a pressing need to apply the new naming convention elsewhere. * Functions that split apart `ForAllCo`s in `Coercion`s, such as `GHC.Core.Coercion.splitForAllCo_maybe`. We could theoretically apply the new naming convention here, but then we'd have to figure out how to disambiguate `Type`-splitting functions from `Coercion`-splitting functions. Ultimately, the `Coercion`-splitting functions aren't used nearly as much as the `Type`-splitting functions, so I decided to leave the former alone. This is purely refactoring and should cause no change in behavior.

* Implement Quick Look impredicativitySimon Peyton Jones2020-09-241-0/+1083
This patch implements Quick Look impredicativity (#18126), sticking very closely to the design in A quick look at impredicativity, Serrano et al, ICFP 2020 The main change is that a big chunk of GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr has been extracted to two new modules GHC.Tc.Gen.App GHC.Tc.Gen.Head which deal with typechecking n-ary applications, and the head of such applications, respectively. Both contain a good deal of documentation. Three other loosely-related changes are in this patch: * I implemented (partly by accident) points (2,3)) of the accepted GHC proposal "Clean up printing of foralls", namely https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/ master/proposals/0179-printing-foralls.rst (see #16320). In particular, see Note [TcRnExprMode] in GHC.Tc.Module - :type instantiates /inferred/, but not /specified/, quantifiers - :type +d instantiates /all/ quantifiers - :type +v is killed off That completes the implementation of the proposal, since point (1) was done in commit df08468113ab46832b7ac0a7311b608d1b418c4d Author: Krzysztof Gogolewski <krzysztof.gogolewski@tweag.io> Date: Mon Feb 3 21:17:11 2020 +0100 Always display inferred variables using braces * HsRecFld (which the renamer introduces for record field selectors), is now preserved by the typechecker, rather than being rewritten back to HsVar. This is more uniform, and turned out to be more convenient in the new scheme of things. * The GHCi debugger uses a non-standard unification that allows the unification variables to unify with polytypes. We used to hack this by using ImpredicativeTypes, but that doesn't work anymore so I introduces RuntimeUnkTv. See Note [RuntimeUnkTv] in GHC.Runtime.Heap.Inspect Updates haddock submodule. WARNING: this patch won't validate on its own. It was too hard to fully disentangle it from the following patch, on type errors and kind generalisation. Changes to tests * Fixes #9730 (test added) * Fixes #7026 (test added) * Fixes most of #8808, except function `g2'` which uses a section (which doesn't play with QL yet -- see #18126) Test added * Fixes #1330. NB Church1.hs subsumes Church2.hs, which is now deleted * Fixes #17332 (test added) * Fixes #4295 * This patch makes typecheck/should_run/T7861 fail. But that turns out to be a pre-existing bug: #18467. So I have just made T7861 into expect_broken(18467)
