* Embrace -XTypeInType, add -XStarIsTypeVladislav Zavialov2018-06-141-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Implement the "Embrace Type :: Type" GHC proposal, .../ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0020-no-type-in-type.rst GHC 8.0 included a major change to GHC's type system: the Type :: Type axiom. Though casual users were protected from this by hiding its features behind the -XTypeInType extension, all programs written in GHC 8+ have the axiom behind the scenes. In order to preserve backward compatibility, various legacy features were left unchanged. For example, with -XDataKinds but not -XTypeInType, GADTs could not be used in types. Now these restrictions are lifted and -XTypeInType becomes a redundant flag that will be eventually deprecated. * Incorporate the features currently in -XTypeInType into the -XPolyKinds and -XDataKinds extensions. * Introduce a new extension -XStarIsType to control how to parse * in code and whether to print it in error messages.

* Introduce DerivingViaRyan Scott2018-06-041-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the `DerivingVia` proposal put forth in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/120. This introduces the `DerivingVia` deriving strategy. This is a generalization of `GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving` that permits the user to specify the type to `coerce` from. The major change in this patch is the introduction of the `ViaStrategy` constructor to `DerivStrategy`, which takes a type as a field. As a result, `DerivStrategy` is no longer a simple enumeration type, but rather something that must be renamed and typechecked. The process by which this is done is explained more thoroughly in section 3 of this paper ( https://www.kosmikus.org/DerivingVia/deriving-via-paper.pdf ), although I have inlined the relevant parts into Notes where possible. There are some knock-on changes as well. I took the opportunity to do some refactoring of code in `TcDeriv`, especially the `mkNewTypeEqn` function, since it was bundling all of the logic for (1) deriving instances for newtypes and (2) `GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving` into one huge broth. `DerivingVia` reuses much of part (2), so that was factored out as much as possible. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

* vectorise: Put it out of its miseryBen Gamari2018-06-021-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Poor DPH and its vectoriser have long been languishing; sadly it seems there is little chance that the effort will be rekindled. Every few years we discuss what to do with this mass of code and at least once we have agreed that it should be archived on a branch and removed from `master`. Here we do just that, eliminating heaps of dead code in the process. Here we drop the ParallelArrays extension, the vectoriser, and the `vector` and `primitive` submodules.
