Note [DerivEnv and DerivSpecMechanism]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DerivEnv contains all of the bits and pieces that are common to every
deriving strategy. (See Note [Deriving strategies] in GHC.Tc.Deriv.) Some deriving
strategies impose stricter requirements on the types involved in the derived
instance than others, and these differences are factored out into the
DerivSpecMechanism type. Suppose that the derived instance looks like this:
instance ... => C arg_1 ... arg_n
Each deriving strategy imposes restrictions on arg_1 through arg_n as follows:
* stock (DerivSpecStock):
Stock deriving requires that:
- n must be a positive number. This is checked by
GHC.Tc.Deriv.expectNonNullaryClsArgs
- arg_n must be an application of an algebraic type constructor. Here,
"algebraic type constructor" means:
+ An ordinary data type constructor, or
+ A data family type constructor such that the arguments it is applied to
give rise to a data family instance.
This is checked by GHC.Tc.Deriv.expectAlgTyConApp.
This extra structure is witnessed by the DerivInstTys data type, which stores
arg_1 through arg_(n-1) (dit_cls_tys), the algebraic type constructor
(dit_tc), and its arguments (dit_tc_args). If dit_tc is an ordinary data type
constructor, then dit_rep_tc/dit_rep_tc_args are the same as
dit_tc/dit_tc_args. If dit_tc is a data family type constructor, then
dit_rep_tc is the representation type constructor for the data family
instance, and dit_rep_tc_args are the arguments to the representation type
constructor in the corresponding instance.
* newtype (DerivSpecNewtype):
Newtype deriving imposes the same DerivInstTys requirements as stock
deriving. This is necessary because we need to know what the underlying type
that the newtype wraps is, and this information can only be learned by
knowing dit_rep_tc.
* anyclass (DerivSpecAnyclass):
DeriveAnyClass is the most permissive deriving strategy of all, as it
essentially imposes no requirements on the derived instance. This is because
DeriveAnyClass simply derives an empty instance, so it does not need any
particular knowledge about the types involved. It can do several things
that stock/newtype deriving cannot do (#13154):
- n can be 0. That is, one is allowed to anyclass-derive an instance with
no arguments to the class, such as in this example:
class C
deriving anyclass instance C
- One can derive an instance for a type that is not headed by a type
constructor, such as in the following example:
class C (n :: Nat)
deriving instance C 0
deriving instance C 1
...
- One can derive an instance for a data family with no data family instances,
such as in the following example:
data family Foo a
class C a
deriving anyclass instance C (Foo a)
* via (DerivSpecVia):
Like newtype deriving, DerivingVia requires that n must be a positive number.
This is because when one derives something like this:
deriving via Foo instance C Bar
Then the generated code must specifically mention Bar. However, in
contrast with newtype deriving, DerivingVia does *not* require Bar to be
an application of an algebraic type constructor. This is because the
generated code simply defers to invoking `coerce`, which does not need to
know anything in particular about Bar (besides that it is representationally
equal to Foo). This allows DerivingVia to do some things that are not
possible with newtype deriving, such as deriving instances for data families
without data instances (#13154):
data family Foo a
newtype ByBar a = ByBar a
class Baz a where ...
instance Baz (ByBar a) where ...
deriving via ByBar (Foo a) instance Baz (Foo a)

-- * 'to_anyclass_skols', the list of type variables bound by a class method's

--
-- * 'to_anyclass_metas', the list of type variables bound by a class method's

-- * 'to_anyclass_givens', the list of constraints from a class method's
-- regular type signature, which can be used to help solve constraints
-- in the 'to_wanted_origins'.
--
-- (Note that 'to_wanted_origins' will likely contain type variables from the
-- derived type class or data type, neither of which will appear in
-- 'to_anyclass_skols' or 'to_anyclass_metas'.)
--
-- For all other deriving strategies, it is always the case that
-- 'to_anyclass_skols', 'to_anyclass_metas', and 'to_anyclass_givens' are
-- empty.
--
-- Here is an example to illustrate this:
--
-- @
-- class Foo a where

-- default bar :: forall y. (Show a, Ix y) => a -> y -> String
-- bar x y = show x ++ show (range (y, y))

-- default baz :: Ord a => a -> a -> Bool
-- baz x y = compare x y == EQ
--
-- data Quux q = Quux deriving anyclass Foo
-- @
--
-- Then it would generate two 'ThetaOrigin's, one for each method:
--
-- @
-- [ ThetaOrigin { to_anyclass_skols = [b]
-- , to_anyclass_metas = [y]
-- , to_anyclass_givens = [Ix b]

Note [Deriving and unused record selectors]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this (see #13919):
module Main (main) where
data Foo = MkFoo {bar :: String} deriving Show
main :: IO ()
main = print (Foo "hello")
Strictly speaking, the record selector `bar` is unused in this module, since
neither `main` nor the derived `Show` instance for `Foo` mention `bar`.
However, the behavior of `main` is affected by the presence of `bar`, since
it will print different output depending on whether `MkFoo` is defined using
record selectors or not. Therefore, we do not to issue a
"Defined but not used: ‘bar’" warning for this module, since removing `bar`
changes the program's behavior. This is the reason behind the [Name] part of
the return type of `hasStockDeriving`—it tracks all of the record selector
`Name`s for which -Wunused-binds should be suppressed.
Currently, the only three stock derived classes that require this are Read,
Show, and Generic, as their derived code all depend on the record selectors
of the derived data type's constructors.
See also Note [Newtype deriving and unused constructors] in GHC.Tc.Deriv for
another example of a similar trick.

Note [Deriving any class]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Classic uses of a deriving clause, or a standalone-deriving declaration, are
for:
* a stock class like Eq or Show, for which GHC knows how to generate
the instance code
* a newtype, via the mechanism enabled by GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving
The DeriveAnyClass extension adds a third way to derive instances, based on
empty instance declarations.
The canonical use case is in combination with GHC.Generics and default method
signatures. These allow us to have instance declarations being empty, but still
useful, e.g.
data T a = ...blah..blah... deriving( Generic )
instance C a => C (T a) -- No 'where' clause
where C is some "random" user-defined class.
This boilerplate code can be replaced by the more compact
data T a = ...blah..blah... deriving( Generic, C )
if DeriveAnyClass is enabled.
This is not restricted to Generics; any class can be derived, simply giving
rise to an empty instance.
See Note [Gathering and simplifying constraints for DeriveAnyClass] in
GHC.Tc.Deriv.Infer for an explanation hof how the instance context is inferred for
DeriveAnyClass.
Note [Check that the type variable is truly universal]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Functor and Traversable instances, we must check that the *last argument*
of the type constructor is used truly universally quantified. Example
data T a b where
T1 :: a -> b -> T a b -- Fine! Vanilla H-98
T2 :: b -> c -> T a b -- Fine! Existential c, but we can still map over 'b'
T3 :: b -> T Int b -- Fine! Constraint 'a', but 'b' is still polymorphic
T4 :: Ord b => b -> T a b -- No! 'b' is constrained
T5 :: b -> T b b -- No! 'b' is constrained
T6 :: T a (b,b) -- No! 'b' is constrained
Notice that only the first of these constructors is vanilla H-98. We only
need to take care about the last argument (b in this case). See #8678.
Eg. for T1-T3 we can write
fmap f (T1 a b) = T1 a (f b)
fmap f (T2 b c) = T2 (f b) c
fmap f (T3 x) = T3 (f x)
We need not perform these checks for Foldable instances, however, since
functions in Foldable can only consume existentially quantified type variables,
rather than produce them (as is the case in Functor and Traversable functions.)
As a result, T can have a derived Foldable instance:
foldr f z (T1 a b) = f b z
foldr f z (T2 b c) = f b z
foldr f z (T3 x) = f x z
foldr f z (T4 x) = f x z
foldr f z (T5 x) = f x z
foldr _ z T6 = z
See Note [DeriveFoldable with ExistentialQuantification] in GHC.Tc.Deriv.Functor.
For Functor and Traversable, we must take care not to let type synonyms
unfairly reject a type for not being truly universally quantified. An
example of this is:
type C (a :: Constraint) b = a
data T a b = C (Show a) b => MkT b
Here, the existential context (C (Show a) b) does technically mention the last
type variable b. But this is OK, because expanding the type synonym C would
give us the context (Show a), which doesn't mention b. Therefore, we must make
sure to expand type synonyms before performing this check. Not doing so led to
#13813.
