The splice can expand into literally anything, so when we do dependency analysis we must assume that it might mention 'f'. So we simply treat all locally-defined names as mentioned by any splice. This is terribly brutal, but I don't see what else to do. For example, it'll mean that every locally-defined thing will appear to be used, so no unused-binding warnings. But if we miss the dependency, then we might typecheck 'h' before 'f', and that will crash the type checker because 'f' isn't in scope. Currently, I'm not treating a splice as also mentioning every import, which is a bit inconsistent -- but there are a lot of them. We might thereby get some bogus unused-import warnings, but we won't crash the type checker. Not very satisfactory really. Note [Renamer errors] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's important to wrap renamer calls in checkNoErrs, because the renamer does not fail for out of scope variables etc. Instead it returns a bogus term/type, so that it can report more than one error. We don't want the type checker to see these bogus unbound variables. -} rnSpliceGen :: (HsSplice Name -> RnM (a, FreeVars)) -- Outside brackets, run splice -> (HsSplice Name -> (PendingRnSplice, a)) -- Inside brackets, make it pending -> HsSplice RdrName -> RnM (a, FreeVars) rnSpliceGen run_splice pend_splice splice = addErrCtxt (spliceCtxt splice) $ do { stage <- getStage ; case stage of Brack pop_stage RnPendingTyped -> do { checkTc is_typed_splice illegalUntypedSplice ; (splice', fvs) <- setStage pop_stage $ rnSplice splice ; let (_pending_splice, result) = pend_splice splice' ; return (result, fvs) } Brack pop_stage (RnPendingUntyped ps_var) -> do { checkTc (not is_typed_splice) illegalTypedSplice ; (splice', fvs) <- setStage pop_stage $ rnSplice splice ; let (pending_splice, result) = pend_splice splice' ; ps <- readMutVar ps_var ; writeMutVar ps_var (pending_splice : ps) ; return (result, fvs) } _ -> do { (splice', fvs1) <- checkNoErrs $ setStage (Splice splice_type) $ rnSplice splice -- checkNoErrs: don't attempt to run the splice if -- renaming it failed; otherwise we get a cascade of -- errors from e.g. unbound variables ; (result, fvs2) <- run_splice splice' ; return (result, fvs1 `plusFV` fvs2) } } where is_typed_splice = isTypedSplice splice splice_type = if is_typed_splice then Typed else Untyped ------------------ runRnSplice :: UntypedSpliceFlavour -> (LHsExpr Id -> TcRn res) -> (res -> SDoc) -- How to pretty-print res -- Usually just ppr, but not for [Decl] -> HsSplice Name -- Always untyped -> TcRn res runRnSplice flavour run_meta ppr_res splice = do { splice' <- getHooked runRnSpliceHook return >>= ($ splice) ; let the_expr = case splice' of HsUntypedSplice _ e -> e HsQuasiQuote _ q qs str -> mkQuasiQuoteExpr flavour q qs str HsTypedSplice {} -> pprPanic "runRnSplice" (ppr splice) -- Typecheck the expression ; meta_exp_ty <- tcMetaTy meta_ty_name ; zonked_q_expr <- tcTopSpliceExpr Untyped $ tcMonoExpr the_expr meta_exp_ty -- Run the expression ; result <- run_meta zonked_q_expr ; traceSplice (SpliceInfo { spliceDescription = what , spliceIsDecl = is_decl , spliceSource = Just the_expr , spliceGenerated = ppr_res result }) ; return result } where meta_ty_name = case flavour of UntypedExpSplice -> expQTyConName UntypedPatSplice -> patQTyConName UntypedTypeSplice -> typeQTyConName UntypedDeclSplice -> decsQTyConName what = case flavour of UntypedExpSplice -> "expression" UntypedPatSplice -> "pattern" UntypedTypeSplice -> "type" UntypedDeclSplice -> "declarations" is_decl = case flavour of UntypedDeclSplice -> True _ -> False ------------------ makePending :: UntypedSpliceFlavour -> HsSplice Name -> PendingRnSplice makePending flavour (HsUntypedSplice n e) = PendingRnSplice flavour n e makePending flavour (HsQuasiQuote n quoter q_span quote) = PendingRnSplice flavour n (mkQuasiQuoteExpr flavour quoter q_span quote) makePending _ splice@(HsTypedSplice {}) = pprPanic "makePending" (ppr splice) ------------------ mkQuasiQuoteExpr :: UntypedSpliceFlavour -> Name -> SrcSpan -> FastString -> LHsExpr Name -- Return the expression (quoter "...quote...") -- which is what we must run in a quasi-quote mkQuasiQuoteExpr flavour quoter q_span quote = L q_span $ HsApp (L q_span $ HsApp (L q_span (HsVar (L q_span quote_selector))) quoterExpr) quoteExpr where quoterExpr = L q_span $!

However, TH type splices are run during renaming, i.e. after the initial traversal, leading to out of scope errors for named wild cards. We can't just extend the initial traversal to collect the named wild cards in TH type splices, as we'd need to expand them, which is supposed to happen only once, during renaming. Similarly, the extra-constraints wild card is handled right before renaming too, and is therefore also not supported in a TH type splice. Another reason to forbid extra-constraints wild cards in TH type splices is that a single signature can contain many TH type splices, whereas it mustn't contain more than one extra-constraints wild card. Enforcing would this be hard the way things are currently organised. Anonymous wild cards pose no problem, because they start out without names and are given names during renaming. These names are collected right after renaming. The names generated for anonymous wild cards in TH type splices will thus be collected as well. For more details about renaming wild cards, see RnTypes.rnHsSigWcType Note that partial type signatures are fully supported in TH declaration splices, e.g.: [d| foo :: _ => _ foo x y = x == y |] This is because in this case, the partial type signature can be treated as a whole signature, instead of as an arbitrary type. -} ---------------------- -- | Rename a splice pattern.

This scope management is effectively done by using continuation-passing style in RnPat, through the CpsRn monad. We don't wish to be in that monad here (it would create import cycles and generally conflict with renaming other splices), so we really want to return a (Pat RdrName) -- the result of running the splice -- which can then be further renamed in RnPat, in the CpsRn monad. The problem is that if we're renaming a splice within a bracket, we *don't* want to run the splice now. We really do just want to rename it to an HsSplice Name. Of course, then we can't know what variables are bound within the splice. So we accept any unbound variables and rename them again when the bracket is spliced in. If a variable is brought into scope by a pattern splice all is fine. If it is not then an error is reported. In any case, when we're done in rnSplicePat, we'll either have a Pat RdrName (the result of running a top-level splice) or a Pat Name (the renamed nested splice). Thus, the awkward return type of rnSplicePat. -} spliceCtxt :: HsSplice RdrName -> SDoc spliceCtxt splice = hang (ptext (sLit "In the") <+> what) 2 (ppr splice) where what = case splice of HsUntypedSplice {} -> ptext (sLit "untyped splice:") HsTypedSplice {} -> ptext (sLit "typed splice:") HsQuasiQuote {} -> ptext (sLit "quasi-quotation:") -- | The splice data to be logged data SpliceInfo = SpliceInfo { spliceDescription :: String , spliceSource :: Maybe (LHsExpr Name) -- Nothing <=> top-level decls -- added by addTopDecls , spliceIsDecl :: Bool -- True <=> put the generate code in a file -- when -dth-dec-file is on , spliceGenerated :: SDoc } -- Note that 'spliceSource' is *renamed* but not *typechecked* -- Reason (a) less typechecking crap -- (b) data constructors after type checking have been -- changed to their *wrappers*, and that makes them -- print always fully qualified -- | outputs splice information for 2 flags which have different output formats: -- `-ddump-splices` and `-dth-dec-file` traceSplice :: SpliceInfo -> TcM () traceSplice (SpliceInfo { spliceDescription = sd, spliceSource = mb_src , spliceGenerated = gen, spliceIsDecl = is_decl }) = do { loc <- case mb_src of Nothing -> getSrcSpanM Just (L loc _) -> return loc ;

So we need some other way to keep 'f' alive, lest it get dropped as dead code. That's what keepAlive does. It puts it in the keep-alive set, which subsequently ensures that 'f' stays as a top level binding. This must be done by the renamer, not the type checker (as of old), because the type checker doesn't typecheck the body of untyped brackets (Trac #8540). A thing can have a bind_lvl of outerLevel, but have an internal name: foo = [d| op = 3 bop = op + 1 |] Here the bind_lvl of 'op' is (bogusly) outerLevel, even though it is bound inside a bracket. That is because we don't even even record binding levels for top-level things; the binding levels are in the LocalRdrEnv. So the occurrence of 'op' in the rhs of 'bop' looks a bit like a cross-stage thing, but it isn't really. And in fact we never need to do anything here for top-level bound things, so all is fine, if a bit hacky. For these chaps (which have Internal Names) we don't want to put them in the keep-alive set. Note [Quoting names] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A quoted name 'n is a bit like a quoted expression [| n |], except that we have no cross-stage lifting (c.f. TcExpr.thBrackId). So, after incrementing the use-level to account for the brackets, the cases are: bind > use Error bind = use+1 OK bind < use Imported things OK Top-level things OK Non-top-level Error where 'use' is the binding level of the 'n quote. (So inside the implied bracket the level would be use+1.) Examples: f 'map -- OK; also for top-level defns of this module \x. f 'x -- Not ok (bind = 1, use = 1) -- (whereas \x. f [| x |] might have been ok, by -- cross-stage lifting \y. [| \x. $(f 'y) |] -- Not ok (bind =1, use = 1) [| \x. $(f 'x) |] -- OK (bind = 2, use = 1) -}
