* Improve kind generalisation, error messagesSimon Peyton Jones2020-09-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
