* Detect TypeError when checking for insolubilitysheaf2021-08-151-11/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We detect insoluble Givens by making getInertInsols take into account TypeError constraints, on top of insoluble equalities such as Int ~ Bool (which it already took into account). This allows pattern matches with insoluble contexts to be reported as redundant (tyOracle calls tcCheckGivens which calls getInertInsols). As a bonus, we get to remove a workaround in Data.Typeable.Internal: we can directly use a NotApplication type family, as opposed to needing to cook up an insoluble equality constraint. Fixes #11503 #14141 #16377 #20180

* Fix #19682 by breaking cycles in DerivedsRichard Eisenberg2021-06-051-25/+180
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit expands the old Note [Type variable cycles in Givens] to apply as well to Deriveds. See the Note for details and examples. This fixes a regression introduced by my earlier commit that killed off the flattener in favor of the rewriter. A few other things happened along the way: * unifyTest was renamed to touchabilityTest, because that's what it does. * isInsolubleOccursCheck was folded into checkTypeEq, which does much of the same work. To get this to work out, though, we need to keep more careful track of what errors we spot in checkTypeEq, and so CheckTyEqResult has become rather more glorious. * A redundant Note or two was eliminated. * Kill off occCheckForErrors; due to Note [Rewriting synonyms], the extra occCheckExpand here is always redundant. * Store blocked equalities separately from other inerts; less stuff to look through when kicking out. Close #19682. test case: typecheck/should_compile/T19682{,b}
* Rip GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad asunder (only)Richard Eisenberg2021-05-291-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | This creates new modules GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet and GHC.Tc.Solver.Types. The Monad module is still pretty big, but this is an improvement. Moreover, it means that GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types no longer depends on the constraint solver (it now depends on GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet), making the error-messages work easier. This patch thus contributes to #18516.

* Kick out fewer equalities by thinking harderRichard Eisenberg2021-04-101-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Close #17672. By scratching our heads quite hard, we realized that we should never kick out Given/Nominal equalities. This commit tweaks the kick-out conditions accordingly. See also Note [K4] which describes what is going on. This does not fix a known misbehavior, but it should be a small improvement in both practice (kicking out is bad, and we now do less of it) and theory (a Given/Nominal should behave just like a filled-in metavariable, which has no notion of kicking out).
* Tweak kick-out condition K2b to deal with LHSsRichard Eisenberg2021-04-101-1/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kick out condition K2b really only makes sense for inerts with a type variable on the left. This updates the commentary and the code to skip this check for inerts with type families on the left. Also cleans up some commentary around solver invariants and adds Note [K2b]. Close #19042. test case: typecheck/should_compile/T19042
* Avoid fundep-caused loop in the typecheckerSimon Peyton Jones2021-03-311-7/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | Ticket #19415 showed a nasty typechecker loop, which can happen with fundeps that do not satisfy the coverage condition. This patch fixes the problem. It's described in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact Note [Fundeps with instances] It's not a perfect solution, as the Note explains, but it's better than the status quo.
* Unify result type earlier to improve error messagesSimon Peyton Jones2021-03-011-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ticket #19364 helpfully points out that we do not currently take advantage of pushing the result type of an application into the arguments. This makes error messages notably less good. The fix is rather easy: move the result-type unification step earlier. It's even a bit more efficient; in the the checking case we now do one less zonk. See Note [Unify with expected type before typechecking arguments] in GHC.Tc.Gen.App This change generally improves error messages, but it made one worse: typecheck/should_fail/T16204c. That led me to the realisation that a good error can be replaced by a less-good one, which provoked me to change GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.inertsCanDischarge. It's explained in the new Note [Combining equalities] One other refactoring: I discovered that KindEqOrigin didn't need a Maybe in its type -- a nice simplification.

* Missing fields: enhance error messages (#18869)Sylvain Henry2021-01-171-1/+1
| | | | | | This patch delays the detection of missing fields in record creation after type-checking. This gives us better error messages (see updated test outputs).
* Use mutable update to defer out-of-scope errorsRichard Eisenberg2020-12-251-11/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we let-bound an identifier to use to carry the erroring evidence for an out-of-scope variable. But this failed for levity-polymorphic out-of-scope variables, leading to a panic (#17812). The new plan is to use a mutable update to just write the erroring expression directly where it needs to go. Close #17812. Test case: typecheck/should_compile/T17812
* Kill floatEqualities completelySimon Peyton Jones2020-12-201-37/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* Rename the flattener to become the rewriter.Richard Eisenberg2020-12-011-10/+10
| | | | | | | | Now that flattening doesn't produce flattening variables, it's not really flattening anything: it's rewriting. This change also means that the rewriter can no longer be confused the core flattener (in GHC.Core.Unify), which is sometimes used during type-checking.
* Remove flattening variablesRichard Eisenberg2020-12-011-198/+201
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch redesigns the flattener to simplify type family applications directly instead of using flattening meta-variables and skolems. The key new innovation is the CanEqLHS type and the new CEqCan constraint (Ct). A CanEqLHS is either a type variable or exactly-saturated type family application; either can now be rewritten using a CEqCan constraint in the inert set. Because the flattener no longer reduces all type family applications to variables, there was some performance degradation if a lengthy type family application is now flattened over and over (not making progress). To compensate, this patch contains some extra optimizations in the flattener, leading to a number of performance improvements. Close #18875. Close #18910. There are many extra parts of the compiler that had to be affected in writing this patch: * The family-application cache (formerly the flat-cache) sometimes stores coercions built from Given inerts. When these inerts get kicked out, we must kick out from the cache as well. (This was, I believe, true previously, but somehow never caused trouble.) Kicking out from the cache requires adding a filterTM function to TrieMap. * This patch obviates the need to distinguish "blocking" coercion holes from non-blocking ones (which, previously, arose from CFunEqCans). There is thus some simplification around coercion holes. * Extra commentary throughout parts of the code I read through, to preserve the knowledge I gained while working. * A change in the pure unifier around unifying skolems with other types. Unifying a skolem now leads to SurelyApart, not MaybeApart, as documented in Note [Binding when looking up instances] in GHC.Core.InstEnv. * Some more use of MCoercion where appropriate. * Previously, class-instance lookup automatically noticed that e.g. C Int was a "unifier" to a target [W] C (F Bool), because the F Bool was flattened to a variable. Now, a little more care must be taken around checking for unifying instances. * Previously, tcSplitTyConApp_maybe would split (Eq a => a). This is silly, because (=>) is not a tycon in Haskell. Fixed now, but there are some knock-on changes in e.g. TrieMap code and in the canonicaliser. * New function anyFreeVarsOf{Type,Co} to check whether a free variable satisfies a certain predicate. * Type synonyms now remember whether or not they are "forgetful"; a forgetful synonym drops at least one argument. This is useful when flattening; see flattenView. * The pattern-match completeness checker invokes the solver. This invocation might need to look through newtypes when checking representational equality. Thus, the desugarer needs to keep track of the in-scope variables to know what newtype constructors are in scope. I bet this bug was around before but never noticed. * Extra-constraints wildcards are no longer simplified before printing. See Note [Do not simplify ConstraintHoles] in GHC.Tc.Solver. * Whether or not there are Given equalities has become slightly subtler. See the new HasGivenEqs datatype. * Note [Type variable cycles in Givens] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical explains a significant new wrinkle in the new approach. * See Note [What might match later?] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact, which explains the fix to #18910. * The inert_count field of InertCans wasn't actually used, so I removed it. Though I (Richard) did the implementation, Simon PJ was very involved in design and review. This updates the Haddock submodule to avoid #18932 by adding a type signature. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: T12227 T5030 T9872a T9872b T9872c Metric Increase: T9872d -------------------------
* Replace HsImplicitBndrs with HsOuterTyVarBndrsRyan Scott2020-11-061-12/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This refactors the GHC AST to remove `HsImplicitBndrs` and replace it with `HsOuterTyVarBndrs`, a type which records whether the outermost quantification in a type is explicit (i.e., with an outermost, invisible `forall`) or implicit. As a result of this refactoring, it is now evident in the AST where the `forall`-or-nothing rule applies: it's all the places that use `HsOuterTyVarBndrs`. See the revamped `Note [forall-or-nothing rule]` in `GHC.Hs.Type` (previously in `GHC.Rename.HsType`). Moreover, the places where `ScopedTypeVariables` brings lexically scoped type variables into scope are a subset of the places that adhere to the `forall`-or-nothing rule, so this also makes places that interact with `ScopedTypeVariables` easier to find. See the revamped `Note [Lexically scoped type variables]` in `GHC.Hs.Type` (previously in `GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig`). `HsOuterTyVarBndrs` are used in type signatures (see `HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs`) and type family equations (see `HsOuterFamEqnTyVarBndrs`). The main difference between the former and the latter is that the former cares about specificity but the latter does not. There are a number of knock-on consequences: * There is now a dedicated `HsSigType` type, which is the combination of `HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs` and `HsType`. `LHsSigType` is now an alias for an `XRec` of `HsSigType`. * Working out the details led us to a substantial refactoring of the handling of explicit (user-written) and implicit type-variable bindings in `GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType`. Instead of a confusing family of higher order functions, we now have a local data type, `SkolemInfo`, that controls how these binders are kind-checked. It remains very fiddly, not fully satisfying. But it's better than it was. Fixes #16762. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

* Improve kind generalisation, error messagesSimon Peyton Jones2020-09-241-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does two things: * It refactors GHC.Tc.Errors a bit. In debugging Quick Look I was forced to look in detail at error messages, and ended up doing a bit of refactoring, esp in mkTyVarEqErr'. It's still quite a mess, but a bit better, I think. * It makes a significant improvement to the kind checking of type and class declarations. Specifically, we now ensure that if kind checking fails with an unsolved constraint, all the skolems are in scope. That wasn't the case before, which led to some obscure error messages; and occasional failures with "no skolem info" (eg #16245). Both of these, and the main Quick Look patch itself, affect a /lot/ of error messages, as you can see from the number of files changed. I've checked them all; I think they are as good or better than before. Smaller things * I documented the various instances of VarBndr better. See Note [The VarBndr tyep and its uses] in GHC.Types.Var * Renamed GHC.Tc.Solver.simpl_top to simplifyTopWanteds * A bit of refactoring in bindExplicitTKTele, to avoid the footwork with Either. Simpler now. * Move promoteTyVar from GHC.Tc.Solver to GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType Fixes #16245 (comment 211369), memorialised as typecheck/polykinds/T16245a Also fixes the three bugs in #18640

* Simple subsumptionwip/T17775Simon Peyton Jones2020-06-051-23/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch simplifies GHC to use simple subsumption. Ticket #17775 Implements GHC proposal #287 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/ proposals/0287-simplify-subsumption.rst All the motivation is described there; I will not repeat it here. The implementation payload: * tcSubType and friends become noticably simpler, because it no longer uses eta-expansion when checking subsumption. * No deeplyInstantiate or deeplySkolemise That in turn means that some tests fail, by design; they can all be fixed by eta expansion. There is a list of such changes below. Implementing the patch led me into a variety of sticky corners, so the patch includes several othe changes, some quite significant: * I made String wired-in, so that "foo" :: String rather than "foo" :: [Char] This improves error messages, and fixes #15679 * The pattern match checker relies on knowing about in-scope equality constraints, andd adds them to the desugarer's environment using addTyCsDs. But the co_fn in a FunBind was missed, and for some reason simple-subsumption ends up with dictionaries there. So I added a call to addTyCsDs. This is really part of #18049. * I moved the ic_telescope field out of Implication and into ForAllSkol instead. This is a nice win; just expresses the code much better. * There was a bug in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.tcDataFamInstHeader. We called checkDataKindSig inside tc_kind_sig, /before/ solveEqualities and zonking. Obviously wrong, easily fixed. * solveLocalEqualitiesX: there was a whole mess in here, around failing fast enough. I discovered a bad latent bug where we could successfully kind-check a type signature, and use it, but have unsolved constraints that could fill in coercion holes in that signature -- aargh. It's all explained in Note [Failure in local type signatures] in GHC.Tc.Solver. Much better now. * I fixed a serious bug in anonymous type holes. IN f :: Int -> (forall a. a -> _) -> Int that "_" should be a unification variable at the /outer/ level; it cannot be instantiated to 'a'. This was plain wrong. New fields mode_lvl and mode_holes in TcTyMode, and auxiliary data type GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.HoleMode. This fixes #16292, but makes no progress towards the more ambitious #16082 * I got sucked into an enormous refactoring of the reporting of equality errors in GHC.Tc.Errors, especially in mkEqErr1 mkTyVarEqErr misMatchMsg misMatchMsgOrCND In particular, the very tricky mkExpectedActualMsg function is gone. It took me a full day. But the result is far easier to understand. (Still not easy!) This led to various minor improvements in error output, and an enormous number of test-case error wibbles. One particular point: for occurs-check errors I now just say Can't match 'a' against '[a]' rather than using the intimidating language of "occurs check". * Pretty-printing AbsBinds Tests review * Eta expansions T11305: one eta expansion T12082: one eta expansion (undefined) T13585a: one eta expansion T3102: one eta expansion T3692: two eta expansions (tricky) T2239: two eta expansions T16473: one eta determ004: two eta expansions (undefined) annfail06: two eta (undefined) T17923: four eta expansions (a strange program indeed!) tcrun035: one eta expansion * Ambiguity check at higher rank. Now that we have simple subsumption, a type like f :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int is no longer ambiguous, because we could write g :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int g = f and it'd typecheck just fine. But f's type is a bit suspicious, and we might want to consider making the ambiguity check do a check on each sub-term. Meanwhile, these tests are accepted, whereas they were previously rejected as ambiguous: T7220a T15438 T10503 T9222 * Some more interesting error message wibbles T13381: Fine: one error (Int ~ Exp Int) rather than two (Int ~ Exp Int, Exp Int ~ Int) T9834: Small change in error (improvement) T10619: Improved T2414: Small change, due to order of unification, fine T2534: A very simple case in which a change of unification order means we get tow unsolved constraints instead of one tc211: bizarre impredicative tests; just accept this for now Updates Cabal and haddock submodules.

* Refactor hole constraints.Richard Eisenberg2020-05-061-77/+114
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, holes (both expression holes / out of scope variables and partial-type-signature wildcards) were emitted as *constraints* via the CHoleCan constructor. While this worked fine for error reporting, there was a fair amount of faff in keeping these constraints in line. In particular, and unlike other constraints, we could never change a CHoleCan to become CNonCanonical. In addition: * the "predicate" of a CHoleCan constraint was really the type of the hole, which is not a predicate at all * type-level holes (partial type signature wildcards) carried evidence, which was never used * tcNormalise (used in the pattern-match checker) had to create a hole constraint just to extract it again; it was quite messy The new approach is to record holes directly in WantedConstraints. It flows much more nicely now. Along the way, I did some cleaning up of commentary in GHC.Tc.Errors.Hole, which I had a hard time understanding. This was instigated by a future patch that will refactor the way predicates are handled. The fact that CHoleCan's "predicate" wasn't really a predicate is incompatible with that future patch. No test case, because this is meant to be purely internal. It turns out that this change improves the performance of the pattern-match checker, likely because fewer constraints are sloshing about in tcNormalise. I have not investigated deeply, but an improvement is not a surprise here: ------------------------- Metric Decrease: PmSeriesG -------------------------
