{- Note [Failure in local type signatures]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When kind checking a type signature, we like to fail fast if we can't
solve all the kind equality constraints, for two reasons:

  * A kind-bogus type signature may cause a cascade of knock-on
    errors if we let it pass

  * More seriously, we don't have a convenient term-level place to add
    deferred bindings for unsolved kind-equality constraints.  In
    earlier GHCs this led to un-filled-in coercion holes, which caused
    GHC to crash with "fvProv falls into a hole" See #11563, #11520,
    #11516, #11399

But what about /local/ type signatures, mentioning in-scope type
variables for which there might be 'given' equalities?  For these we
might not be able to solve all the equalities locally. Here's an
example (T15076b):

  class (a ~ b) => C a b
  data SameKind :: k -> k -> Type where { SK :: SameKind a b }

  bar :: forall (a :: Type) (b :: Type).
         C a b => Proxy a -> Proxy b -> ()
  bar _ _ = const () (undefined :: forall (x :: a) (y :: b). SameKind x y)

Consider the type signature on 'undefined'. It's ill-kinded unless
a~b.  But the superclass of (C a b) means that indeed (a~b). So all
should be well. BUT it's hard to see that when kind-checking the signature
for undefined.  We want to emit a residual (a~b) constraint, to solve
later.

Another possibility is that we might have something like
   F alpha ~ [Int]
where alpha is bound further out, which might become soluble
"later" when we learn more about alpha.  So we want to emit
those residual constraints.

BUT it's no good simply wrapping all unsolved constraints from
a type signature in an implication constraint to solve later. The
problem is that we are going to /use/ that signature, including
instantiate it.  Say we have
     f :: forall a.  (forall b. blah) -> blah2
     f x = <body>
To typecheck the definition of f, we have to instantiate those
foralls.  Moreover, any unsolved kind equalities will be coercion
holes in the type.  If we naively wrap them in an implication like
     forall a. (co1:k1~k2,  forall b.  co2:k3~k4)
hoping to solve it later, we might end up filling in the holes
co1 and co2 with coercions involving 'a' and 'b' -- but by now
we've instantiated the type.  Chaos!

Moreover, the unsolved constraints might be skolem-escape things, and
if we proceed with f bound to a nonsensical type, we get a cascade of
follow-up errors. For example polykinds/T12593, T15577, and many others.

So here's the plan (see tcHsSigType):

* pushLevelAndSolveEqualitiesX: try to solve the constraints

* kindGeneraliseSome: do kind generalisation

* buildTvImplication: build an implication for the residual, unsolved
  constraint

* simplifyAndEmitFlatConstraints: try to float out every unsolved equality
  inside that implication, in the hope that it constrains only global
  type variables, not the locally-quantified ones.

  * If we fail, or find an insoluble constraint, emit the implication,
    so that the errors will be reported, and fail.

  * If we succeed in floating all the equalities, promote them and
    re-emit them as flat constraint, not wrapped at all (since they
    don't mention any of the quantified variables.

* Note that this float-and-promote step means that anonymous
  wildcards get floated to top level, as we want; see
  Note [Checking partial type signatures] in GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.

All this is done:

* In GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.tcHsSigType, as above

* solveEqualities. Use this when there no kind-generalisation
  step to complicate matters; then we don't need to push levels,
  and can solve the equalities immediately without needing to
  wrap it in an implication constraint.  (You'll generally see
  a kindGeneraliseNone nearby.)

* In GHC.Tc.TyCl and GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance; see calls to
  pushLevelAndSolveEqualitiesX, followed by quantification, and
  then reportUnsolvedEqualities.

  NB: we call reportUnsolvedEqualities before zonkTcTypeToType
  because the latter does not expect to see any un-filled-in
  coercions, which will happen if we have unsolved equalities.
  By calling reportUnsolvedEqualities first, which fails after
  reporting errors, we avoid that happening.

See also #18062, #11506

Note [Wrapping failing kind equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In simplifyAndEmitFlatConstraints, if we fail to get down to simple
flat constraints we will
* re-emit the constraints so that they are reported
* fail in the monad
But there is a Terrible Danger that, if -fdefer-type-errors is on, and
we just re-emit an insoluble constraint like (* ~ (*->*)), that we'll
report only a warning and proceed with compilation.  But if we ever fail
in the monad it should be fatal; we should report an error and stop after
the type checker.  If not, chaos results: #19142.

Our solution is this:
* Even with -fdefer-type-errors, inside an implication with no place for
  value bindings (ic_binds = CoEvBindsVar), report failing equalities as
  errors.  We have to do this anyway; see GHC.Tc.Errors
  Note [Failing equalities with no evidence bindings].

* Right here in simplifyAndEmitFlatConstraints, use buildTvImplication
  to wrap the failing constraint in a degenerate implication (no
  skolems, no theta), with ic_binds = CoEvBindsVar.  This setting of
  `ic_binds` means that any failing equalities will lead to an
  error not a warning, irrespective of -fdefer-type-errors: see
  Note [Failing equalities with no evidence bindings] in GHC.Tc.Errors,
  and `maybeSwitchOffDefer` in that module.

  We still take care to bump the TcLevel of the implication.  Partly,
  that ensures that nested implications have increasing level numbers
  which seems nice.  But more specifically, suppose the outer level
  has a Given `(C ty)`, which has pending (not-yet-expanded)
  superclasses. Consider what happens when we process this implication
  constraint (which we have re-emitted) in that context:
    - in the inner implication we'll call `getPendingGivenScs`,
    - we /do not/ want to get the `(C ty)` from the outer level,
    lest we try to add an evidence term for the superclass,
    which we can't do because we have specifically set
    `ic_binds` = `CoEvBindsVar`.
    - as `getPendingGivenSCcs is careful to only get Givens from
    the /current/ level, and we bumped the `TcLevel` of the implication,
    we're OK.

  TL;DR: bump the `TcLevel` when creating the nested implication.
  If we don't we get a panic in `GHC.Tc.Utils.Monad.addTcEvBind` (#20043).


We re-emit the implication rather than reporting the errors right now,
so that the error messages are improved by other solving and defaulting.
e.g. we prefer
    Cannot match 'Type->Type' with 'Type'
to  Cannot match 'Type->Type' with 'TYPE r0'


Note [floatKindEqualities vs approximateWC]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
floatKindEqualities and approximateWC are strikingly similar to each
other, but

* floatKindEqualites tries to float /all/ equalities, and fails if
  it can't, or if any implication is insoluble.
* approximateWC just floats out any constraints
  (not just equalities) that can float; it never fails.

{- Note [When to do type-class defaulting]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In GHC 7.6 and 7.8.2, we did type-class defaulting only if insolubleWC
was false, on the grounds that defaulting can't help solve insoluble
constraints.  But if we *don't* do defaulting we may report a whole
lot of errors that would be solved by defaulting; these errors are
quite spurious because fixing the single insoluble error means that
defaulting happens again, which makes all the other errors go away.
This is jolly confusing: #9033.

So it seems better to always do type-class defaulting.

However, always doing defaulting does mean that we'll do it in
situations like this (#5934):
   run :: (forall s. GenST s) -> Int
   run = fromInteger 0
We don't unify the return type of fromInteger with the given function
type, because the latter involves foralls.  So we're left with
    (Num alpha, alpha ~ (forall s. GenST s) -> Int)
Now we do defaulting, get alpha := Integer, and report that we can't
match Integer with (forall s. GenST s) -> Int.  That's not totally
stupid, but perhaps a little strange.

Another potential alternative would be to suppress *all* non-insoluble
errors if there are *any* insoluble errors, anywhere, but that seems
too drastic.

Note [Don't default in syntactic equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When there are unsolved syntactic equalities such as

  rr[sk] ~S# alpha[conc]

we should not default alpha, lest we obtain a poor error message such as

  Couldn't match kind `rr' with `LiftedRep'

We would rather preserve the original syntactic equality to be
reported to the user, especially as the concrete metavariable alpha
might store an informative origin for the user.

Note [Must simplify after defaulting]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We may have a deeply buried constraint
    (t:*) ~ (a:Open)
which we couldn't solve because of the kind incompatibility, and 'a' is free.
Then when we default 'a' we can solve the constraint.  And we want to do
that before starting in on type classes.  We MUST do it before reporting
errors, because it isn't an error!  #7967 was due to this.

Note [Top-level Defaulting Plan]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have considered two design choices for where/when to apply defaulting.
   (i) Do it in SimplCheck mode only /whenever/ you try to solve some
       simple constraints, maybe deep inside the context of implications.
       This used to be the case in GHC 7.4.1.
   (ii) Do it in a tight loop at simplifyTop, once all other constraints have
        finished. This is the current story.

Option (i) had many disadvantages:
   a) Firstly, it was deep inside the actual solver.
   b) Secondly, it was dependent on the context (Infer a type signature,
      or Check a type signature, or Interactive) since we did not want
      to always start defaulting when inferring (though there is an exception to
      this, see Note [Default while Inferring]).
   c) It plainly did not work. Consider typecheck/should_compile/DfltProb2.hs:
          f :: Int -> Bool
          f x = const True (\y -> let w :: a -> a
                                      w a = const a (y+1)
                                  in w y)
      We will get an implication constraint (for beta the type of y):
               [untch=beta] forall a. 0 => Num beta
      which we really cannot default /while solving/ the implication, since beta is
      untouchable.

Instead our new defaulting story is to pull defaulting out of the solver loop and
go with option (ii), implemented at SimplifyTop. Namely:
     - First, have a go at solving the residual constraint of the whole
       program
     - Try to approximate it with a simple constraint
     - Figure out derived defaulting equations for that simple constraint
     - Go round the loop again if you did manage to get some equations

Now, that has to do with class defaulting. However there exists type variable /kind/
defaulting. Again this is done at the top-level and the plan is:
     - At the top-level, once you had a go at solving the constraint, do
       figure out /all/ the touchable unification variables of the wanted constraints.
     - Apply defaulting to their kinds

More details in Note [DefaultTyVar].

Note [Safe Haskell Overlapping Instances]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Safe Haskell, we apply an extra restriction to overlapping instances. The
motive is to prevent untrusted code provided by a third-party, changing the
behavior of trusted code through type-classes. This is due to the global and
implicit nature of type-classes that can hide the source of the dictionary.

Another way to state this is: if a module M compiles without importing another
module N, changing M to import N shouldn't change the behavior of M.

Overlapping instances with type-classes can violate this principle. However,
overlapping instances aren't always unsafe. They are just unsafe when the most
selected dictionary comes from untrusted code (code compiled with -XSafe) and
overlaps instances provided by other modules.

In particular, in Safe Haskell at a call site with overlapping instances, we
apply the following rule to determine if it is a 'unsafe' overlap:

 1) Most specific instance, I1, defined in an `-XSafe` compiled module.
 2) I1 is an orphan instance or a MPTC.
 3) At least one overlapped instance, Ix, is both:
    A) from a different module than I1
    B) Ix is not marked `OVERLAPPABLE`

This is a slightly involved heuristic, but captures the situation of an
imported module N changing the behavior of existing code. For example, if
condition (2) isn't violated, then the module author M must depend either on a
type-class or type defined in N.

Secondly, when should these heuristics be enforced? We enforced them when the
type-class method call site is in a module marked `-XSafe` or `-XTrustworthy`.
This allows `-XUnsafe` modules to operate without restriction, and for Safe
Haskell inference to infer modules with unsafe overlaps as unsafe.

One alternative design would be to also consider if an instance was imported as
a `safe` import or not and only apply the restriction to instances imported
safely. However, since instances are global and can be imported through more
than one path, this alternative doesn't work.

Note [Safe Haskell Overlapping Instances Implementation]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How is this implemented? It's complicated! So we'll step through it all:

 1) `InstEnv.lookupInstEnv` -- Performs instance resolution, so this is where
    we check if a particular type-class method call is safe or unsafe. We do this
    through the return type, `ClsInstLookupResult`, where the last parameter is a
    list of instances that are unsafe to overlap. When the method call is safe,
    the list is null.

 2) `GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.matchClassInst` -- This module drives the instance resolution
    / dictionary generation. The return type is `ClsInstResult`, which either
    says no instance matched, or one found, and if it was a safe or unsafe
    overlap.

 3) `GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.doTopReactDict` -- Takes a dictionary / class constraint and
     tries to resolve it by calling (in part) `matchClassInst`. The resolving
     mechanism has a work list (of constraints) that it process one at a time. If
     the constraint can't be resolved, it's added to an inert set. When compiling
     an `-XSafe` or `-XTrustworthy` module, we follow this approach as we know
     compilation should fail. These are handled as normal constraint resolution
     failures from here-on (see step 6).

     Otherwise, we may be inferring safety (or using `-Wunsafe`), and
     compilation should succeed, but print warnings and/or mark the compiled module
     as `-XUnsafe`. In this case, we call `insertSafeOverlapFailureTcS` which adds
     the unsafe (but resolved!) constraint to the `inert_safehask` field of
     `InertCans`.

 4) `GHC.Tc.Solver.simplifyTop`:
       * Call simplifyTopWanteds, the top-level function for driving the simplifier for
         constraint resolution.

       * Once finished, call `getSafeOverlapFailures` to retrieve the
         list of overlapping instances that were successfully resolved,
         but unsafe. Remember, this is only applicable for generating warnings
         (`-Wunsafe`) or inferring a module unsafe. `-XSafe` and `-XTrustworthy`
         cause compilation failure by not resolving the unsafe constraint at all.

       * For unresolved constraints (all types), call `GHC.Tc.Errors.reportUnsolved`,
         while for resolved but unsafe overlapping dictionary constraints, call
         `GHC.Tc.Errors.warnAllUnsolved`. Both functions convert constraints into a
         warning message for the user.

       * In the case of `warnAllUnsolved` for resolved, but unsafe
         dictionary constraints, we collect the generated warning
         message (pop it) and call `GHC.Tc.Utils.Monad.recordUnsafeInfer` to
         mark the module we are compiling as unsafe, passing the
         warning message along as the reason.

 5) `GHC.Tc.Errors.*Unsolved` -- Generates error messages for constraints by
    actually calling `InstEnv.lookupInstEnv` again! Yes, confusing, but all we
    know is the constraint that is unresolved or unsafe. For dictionary, all we
    know is that we need a dictionary of type C, but not what instances are
    available and how they overlap. So we once again call `lookupInstEnv` to
    figure that out so we can generate a helpful error message.

 6) `GHC.Tc.Utils.Monad.recordUnsafeInfer` -- Save the unsafe result and reason in
      IORefs called `tcg_safe_infer` and `tcg_safe_infer_reason`.

 7) `GHC.Driver.Main.tcRnModule'` -- Reads `tcg_safe_infer` after type-checking, calling
    `GHC.Driver.Main.markUnsafeInfer` (passing the reason along) when safe-inference
    failed.

Note [No defaulting in the ambiguity check]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When simplifying constraints for the ambiguity check, we use
solveWanteds, not simplifyTopWanteds, so that we do no defaulting.
#11947 was an example:
   f :: Num a => Int -> Int
This is ambiguous of course, but we don't want to default the
(Num alpha) constraint to (Num Int)!  Doing so gives a defaulting
warning, but no error.

Note [Defaulting insolubles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a set of wanteds is insoluble, we have no hope of accepting the
program. Yet we do not stop constraint solving, etc., because we may
simplify the wanteds to produce better error messages. So, once
we have an insoluble constraint, everything we do is just about producing
helpful error messages.

Should we default in this case or not? Let's look at an example (tcfail004):

  (f,g) = (1,2,3)

With defaulting, we get a conflict between (a0,b0) and (Integer,Integer,Integer).
Without defaulting, we get a conflict between (a0,b0) and (a1,b1,c1). I (Richard)
find the latter more helpful. Several other test cases (e.g. tcfail005) suggest
similarly. So: we should not do class defaulting with insolubles.

On the other hand, RuntimeRep-defaulting is different. Witness tcfail078:

  f :: Integer i => i
  f =               0

Without RuntimeRep-defaulting, we GHC suggests that Integer should have kind
TYPE r0 -> Constraint and then complains that r0 is actually untouchable
(presumably, because it can't be sure if `Integer i` entails an equality).
If we default, we are told of a clash between (* -> Constraint) and Constraint.
The latter seems far better, suggesting we *should* do RuntimeRep-defaulting
even on insolubles.

But, evidently, not always. Witness UnliftedNewtypesInfinite:

  newtype Foo = FooC (# Int#, Foo #)

This should fail with an occurs-check error on the kind of Foo (with -XUnliftedNewtypes).
If we default RuntimeRep-vars, we get

  Expecting a lifted type, but ‘(# Int#, Foo #)’ is unlifted

which is just plain wrong.

Another situation in which we don't want to default involves concrete metavariables.

In equalities such as   alpha[conc] ~# rr[sk]  ,  alpha[conc] ~# RR beta[tau]
for a type family RR (all at kind RuntimeRep), we would prefer to report a
representation-polymorphism error rather than default alpha and get error:

  Could not unify `rr` with `Lifted` / Could not unify `RR b0` with `Lifted`

which is very confusing. For this reason, we weed out the concrete
metavariables participating in such equalities in nonDefaultableTyVarsOfWC.
Just looking at insolublity is not enough, as `alpha[conc] ~# RR beta[tau]` could
become soluble after defaulting beta (see also #21430).

Conclusion: we should do RuntimeRep-defaulting on insolubles only when the
user does not want to hear about RuntimeRep stuff -- that is, when
-fprint-explicit-runtime-reps is not set.
However, we must still take care not to default concrete type variables
participating in an equality with a non-concrete type, as seen in the
last example above.

{- Note [Pattern match warnings with insoluble Givens]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A pattern match on a GADT can introduce new type-level information, which needs
to be analysed in order to get the expected pattern match warnings.

For example:

> type IsBool :: Type -> Constraint
> type family IsBool a where
>   IsBool Bool = ()
>   IsBool b    = b ~ Bool
>
> data T a where
>   MkTInt  :: Int -> T Int
>   MkTBool :: IsBool b => b -> T b
>
> f :: T Int -> Int
> f (MkTInt i) = i

The pattern matching performed by `f` is complete: we can't ever call
`f (MkTBool b)`, as type-checking that application would require producing
evidence for `Int ~ Bool`, which can't be done.

The pattern match checker uses `tcCheckGivens` to accumulate all the Given
constraints, and relies on `tcCheckGivens` to return Nothing if the
Givens become insoluble.   `tcCheckGivens` in turn relies on `insolubleCt`
to identify these insoluble constraints.  So the precise definition of
`insolubleCt` has a big effect on pattern match overlap warnings.

To detect this situation, we check whether there are any insoluble Given
constraints. In the example above, the insoluble constraint was an
equality constraint, but it is also important to detect custom type errors:

> type NotInt :: Type -> Constraint
> type family NotInt a where
>   NotInt Int = TypeError (Text "That's Int, silly.")
>   NotInt _   = ()
>
> data R a where
>   MkT1 :: a -> R a
>   MkT2 :: NotInt a => R a
>
> foo :: R Int -> Int
> foo (MkT1 x) = x

To see that we can't call `foo (MkT2)`, we must detect that `NotInt Int` is insoluble
because it is a custom type error.
Failing to do so proved quite inconvenient for users, as evidence by the
tickets #11503 #14141 #16377 #20180.
Test cases: T11503, T14141.

Examples of constraints that tcCheckGivens considers insoluble:
  - Int ~ Bool,
  - Coercible Float Word,
  - TypeError msg.

Non-examples:
  - constraints which we know aren't satisfied,
    e.g. Show (Int -> Int) when no such instance is in scope,
  - Eq (TypeError msg),
  - C (Int ~ Bool), with @class C (c :: Constraint)@.

{- Note [Superclasses and satisfiability]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Expand superclasses before starting, because (Int ~ Bool), has
(Int ~~ Bool) as a superclass, which in turn has (Int ~N# Bool)
as a superclass, and it's the latter that is insoluble.  See
Note [The equality types story] in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim.

If we fail to prove unsatisfiability we (arbitrarily) try just once to
find superclasses, using try_harder.  Reason: we might have a type
signature
   f :: F op (Implements push) => ..
where F is a type function.  This happened in #3972.

We could do more than once but we'd have to have /some/ limit: in the
the recursive case, we would go on forever in the common case where
the constraints /are/ satisfiable (#10592 comment:12!).

For straightforward situations without type functions the try_harder
step does nothing.

Note [tcNormalise]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tcNormalise is a rather atypical entrypoint to the constraint solver. Whereas
most invocations of the constraint solver are intended to simplify a set of
constraints or to decide if a particular set of constraints is satisfiable,
the purpose of tcNormalise is to take a type, plus some locally solved
constraints in the form of an InertSet, and normalise the type as much as
possible with respect to those constraints.

It does *not* reduce type or data family applications or look through newtypes.

Why is this useful? As one example, when coverage-checking an EmptyCase
expression, it's possible that the type of the scrutinee will only reduce
if some local equalities are solved for. See "Wrinkle: Local equalities"
in Note [Type normalisation] in "GHC.HsToCore.Pmc".

To accomplish its stated goal, tcNormalise first initialises the solver monad
with the given InertCans, then uses rewriteType to simplify the desired type
with respect to the Givens in the InertCans.

        pushLevelAndCaptureConstraints (tcMonoBinds...)
   in GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.tcPolyInfer

 * Call simplifyInfer to simplify the constraints and decide what to
   quantify over. We pass in the level used for the RHS constraints,
   here called rhs_tclvl.

This ensures that the implication constraint we generate, if any,
has a strictly-increased level compared to the ambient level outside
the let binding.

Note [Inferring principal types]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We don't always infer principal types. For instance, the inferred type for

> f x = show [x]

is

> f :: Show a => a -> String

This is not the most general type if we allow flexible contexts.
Indeed, if we try to write the following

> g :: Show [a] => a -> String
> g x = f x

we get the error:

  * Could not deduce (Show a) arising from a use of `f'
    from the context: Show [a]

Though replacing f x in the right-hand side of g with the definition
of f x works, the call to f x does not. This is the hallmark of
unprincip{led,al} types.

Another example:

> class C a
> class D a where
>   d :: a
> instance C a => D a where
>   d = undefined
> h _ = d   -- argument is to avoid the monomorphism restriction

The inferred type for h is

> h :: C a => t -> a

even though

> h :: D a => t -> a

is more general.

The fix is easy: don't simplify constraints before inferring a type.
That is, have the inferred type quantify over all constraints that arise
in a definition's right-hand side, even if they are simplifiable.
Unfortunately, this would yield all manner of unwieldy types,
and so we won't do so.

{- Note [Emitting the residual implication in simplifyInfer]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
   f = e
where f's type is inferred to be something like (a, Proxy k (Int |> co))
and we have an as-yet-unsolved, or perhaps insoluble, constraint
   [W] co :: Type ~ k
We can't form types like (forall co. blah), so we can't generalise over
the coercion variable, and hence we can't generalise over things free in
its kind, in the case 'k'.  But we can still generalise over 'a'.  So
we'll generalise to
   f :: forall a. (a, Proxy k (Int |> co))
Now we do NOT want to form the residual implication constraint
   forall a. [W] co :: Type ~ k
because then co's eventual binding (which will be a value binding if we
use -fdefer-type-errors) won't scope over the entire binding for 'f' (whose
type mentions 'co').  Instead, just as we don't generalise over 'co', we
should not bury its constraint inside the implication.  Instead, we must
put it outside.

That is the reason for the partitionBag in emitResidualConstraints,
which takes the CoVars free in the inferred type, and pulls their
constraints out.  (NB: this set of CoVars should be closed-over-kinds.)

All rather subtle; see #14584.

Note [Add signature contexts as wanteds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this (#11016):
  f2 :: (?x :: Int) => _
  f2 = ?x

or this
  class C a b | a -> b
  g :: C p q => p -> q
  f3 :: C Int b => _
  f3 = g (3::Int)

We'll use plan InferGen because there are holes in the type.  But:
 * For f2 we want to have the (?x :: Int) constraint floating around
   so that the functional dependencies kick in.  Otherwise the
   occurrence of ?x on the RHS produces constraint (?x :: alpha), and
   we won't unify alpha:=Int.

 * For f3 want the (C Int b) constraint from the partial signature
   to meet the (C Int beta) constraint we get from the call to g; again,
   fundeps

Solution: in simplifyInfer, we add the constraints from the signature
as extra Wanteds.

Why Wanteds?  Wouldn't it be neater to treat them as Givens?  Alas
that would mess up (GivenInv) in Note [TcLevel invariants].  Consider
    f :: (Eq a, _) => blah1
    f = ....g...
    g :: (Eq b, _) => blah2
    g = ...f...

Then we have two psig_theta constraints (Eq a[tv], Eq b[tv]), both with
TyVarTvs inside.  Ultimately a[tv] := b[tv], but only when we've solved
all those constraints.  And both have level 1, so we can't put them as
Givens when solving at level 1.

Best to treat them as Wanteds.

But see also #20076, which would be solved if they were Givens.

************************************************************************

Note [Deciding quantification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the monomorphism restriction does not apply, then we quantify as follows:

* Step 1: decideMonoTyVars.
  Take the global tyvars, and "grow" them using functional dependencies
     E.g.  if x:alpha is in the environment, and alpha ~ [beta] (which can
          happen because alpha is untouchable here) then do not quantify over
          beta, because alpha fixes beta, and beta is effectively free in
          the environment too; this logic extends to general fundeps, not
          just equalities

  We also account for the monomorphism restriction; if it applies,
  add the free vars of all the constraints.

  Result is mono_tvs; we will not quantify over these.

* Step 2: defaultTyVarsAndSimplify.
  Default any non-mono tyvars (i.e ones that are definitely
  not going to become further constrained), and re-simplify the
  candidate constraints.

  Motivation for re-simplification (#7857): imagine we have a
  constraint (C (a->b)), where 'a :: TYPE l1' and 'b :: TYPE l2' are
  not free in the envt, and instance forall (a::*) (b::*). (C a) => C
  (a -> b) The instance doesn't match while l1,l2 are polymorphic, but
  it will match when we default them to LiftedRep.

  This is all very tiresome.

  This step also promotes the mono_tvs from Step 1. See
  Note [Promote monomorphic tyvars]. In fact, the *only*
  use of the mono_tvs from Step 1 is to promote them here.
  This promotion effectively stops us from quantifying over them
  later, in Step 3. Because the actual variables to quantify
  over are determined in Step 3 (not in Step 1), it is OK for
  the mono_tvs to be missing some variables free in the
  environment. This is why removing the psig_qtvs is OK in
  decideMonoTyVars. Test case for this scenario: T14479.

* Step 3: decideQuantifiedTyVars.
  Decide which variables to quantify over, as follows:

  - Take the free vars of the partial-type-signature types and constraints,
    and the tau-type (zonked_tau_tvs), and then "grow"
    them using all the constraints.  These are grown_tcvs.
    See Note [growThetaTyVars vs closeWrtFunDeps].

  - Use quantifyTyVars to quantify over the free variables of all the types
    involved, but only those in the grown_tcvs.

  Result is qtvs.

* Step 4: Filter the constraints using pickQuantifiablePreds and the
  qtvs. We have to zonk the constraints first, so they "see" the
  freshly created skolems.

Note [Lift equality constraints when quantifying]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can't quantify over a constraint (t1 ~# t2) because that isn't a
predicate type; see Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence]
in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.

So we have to 'lift' it to (t1 ~ t2).  Similarly (~R#) must be lifted
to Coercible.

This tiresome lifting is the reason that pick_me (in
pickQuantifiablePreds) returns a Maybe rather than a Bool.

Note [Inheriting implicit parameters]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this:

        f x = (x::Int) + ?y

where f is *not* a top-level binding.
From the RHS of f we'll get the constraint (?y::Int).
There are two types we might infer for f:

        f :: Int -> Int

(so we get ?y from the context of f's definition), or

        f :: (?y::Int) => Int -> Int

At first you might think the first was better, because then
?y behaves like a free variable of the definition, rather than
having to be passed at each call site.  But of course, the WHOLE
IDEA is that ?y should be passed at each call site (that's what
dynamic binding means) so we'd better infer the second.

BOTTOM LINE: when *inferring types* you must quantify over implicit
parameters, *even if* they don't mention the bound type variables.
Reason: because implicit parameters, uniquely, have local instance
declarations. See pickQuantifiablePreds.

Note [Quantifying over equality constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Should we quantify over an equality constraint (s ~ t)?  In general, we don't.
Doing so may simply postpone a type error from the function definition site to
its call site.  (At worst, imagine (Int ~ Bool)).

However, consider this
         forall a. (F [a] ~ Int) => blah
Should we quantify over the (F [a] ~ Int).  Perhaps yes, because at the call
site we will know 'a', and perhaps we have instance  F [Bool] = Int.
So we *do* quantify over a type-family equality where the arguments mention
the quantified variables.

Note [Unconditionally resimplify constraints when quantifying]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During quantification (in defaultTyVarsAndSimplify, specifically), we re-invoke
the solver to simplify the constraints before quantifying them. We do this for
two reasons, enumerated below. We could, in theory, detect when either of these
cases apply and simplify only then, but collecting this information is bothersome,
and simplifying redundantly causes no real harm. Note that this code path
happens only for definitions
  * without a type signature
  * when -XMonoLocalBinds does not apply
  * with unsolved constraints
and so the performance cost will be small.

1. Defaulting

Defaulting the variables handled by defaultTyVar may unlock instance simplifications.
Example (typecheck/should_compile/T20584b):

  with (t :: Double) (u :: String) = printf "..." t u

We know the types of t and u, but we do not know the return type of `with`. So, we
assume `with :: alpha`, where `alpha :: TYPE rho`. The type of printf is
  printf :: PrintfType r => String -> r
The occurrence of printf is instantiated with a fresh var beta. We then get
  beta := Double -> String -> alpha
and
  [W] PrintfType (Double -> String -> alpha)

Module Text.Printf exports
  instance (PrintfArg a, PrintfType r) => PrintfType (a -> r)
and it looks like that instance should apply.

But I have elided some key details: (->) is polymorphic over multiplicity and
runtime representation. Here it is in full glory:
  [W] PrintfType ((Double :: Type) %m1 -> (String :: Type) %m2 -> (alpha :: TYPE rho))
  instance (PrintfArg a, PrintfType r) => PrintfType ((a :: Type) %Many -> (r :: Type))

Because we do not know that m1 is Many, we cannot use the instance. (Perhaps a better instance
would have an explicit equality constraint to the left of =>, but that's not what we have.)
Then, in defaultTyVarsAndSimplify, we get m1 := Many, m2 := Many, and rho := LiftedRep.
Yet it's too late to simplify the quantified constraint, and thus GHC infers
  wait :: PrintfType (Double -> String -> t) => Double -> String -> t
which is silly. Simplifying again after defaulting solves this problem.

2. Interacting functional dependencies

Suppose we have

  class C a b | a -> b

and we are running simplifyInfer over

  forall[2] x. () => [W] C a beta1[1]
  forall[2] y. () => [W] C a beta2[1]

These are two implication constraints, both of which contain a
wanted for the class C. Neither constraint mentions the bound
skolem. We might imagine that these constraint could thus float
out of their implications and then interact, causing beta1 to unify
with beta2, but constraints do not currently float out of implications.

Unifying the beta1 and beta2 is important. Without doing so, then we might
infer a type like (C a b1, C a b2) => a -> a, which will fail to pass the
ambiguity check, which will say (rightly) that it cannot unify b1 with b2, as
required by the fundep interactions. This happens in the parsec library, and
in test case typecheck/should_compile/FloatFDs.

If we re-simplify, however, the two fundep constraints will interact, causing
a unification between beta1 and beta2, and all will be well. The key step
is that this simplification happens *after* the call to approximateWC in
simplifyInfer.

Note [Do not quantify over constraints that determine a variable]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider (typecheck/should_compile/tc231), where we're trying to infer
the type of a top-level declaration. We have
  class Zork s a b | a -> b
and the candidate constraint at the end of simplifyInfer is
  [W] Zork alpha (Z [Char]) beta
We definitely do want to quantify over alpha (which is mentioned in
the tau-type). But we do *not* want to quantify over beta: it is
determined by the functional dependency on Zork: note that the second
argument to Zork in the Wanted is a variable-free Z [Char].

The question here: do we want to quantify over the constraint? Definitely not.
Since we're not quantifying over beta, GHC has no choice but to zap beta
to Any, and then we infer a type involving (Zork a (Z [Char]) Any => ...). No no no.

The no_fixed_dependencies check in pickQuantifiablePreds eliminates this
candidate from the pool. Because there are no Zork instances in scope, this
program is rejected.

{- Note [Constraints in partial type signatures]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have a partial type signature
    f :: (Eq a, C a, _) => blah

We will ultimately quantify f over (Eq a, C a, <diff>), where

   * <diff> is the result of
         findInferredDiff (Eq a, C a) <quant-theta>
     in GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.chooseInferredQuantifiers

   * <quant-theta> is the theta returned right here,
     by decideQuantification

At least for single functions we would like to quantify f over
precisely the same theta as <quant-theta>, so that we get to take
the short-cut path in GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.mkExport, and avoid calling
tcSubTypeSigma for impedance matching. Why avoid?  Because it falls
over for ambiguous types (#20921).

We can get precisely the same theta by using the same algorithm,
findInferredDiff.

All of this goes wrong if we have (a) mutual recursion, (b) multiple
partial type signatures, (c) with different constraints, and (d)
ambiguous types.  Something like
    f :: forall a. Eq a => F a -> _
    f x = (undefined :: a) == g x undefined
    g :: forall b. Show b => F b -> _ -> b
    g x y = let _ = (f y, show x) in x
But that's a battle for another day.

{- Note [Promote monomorphic tyvars]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Promote any type variables that are free in the environment.  Eg
   f :: forall qtvs. bound_theta => zonked_tau
The free vars of f's type become free in the envt, and hence will show
up whenever 'f' is called.  They may currently at rhs_tclvl, but they
had better be unifiable at the outer_tclvl!  Example: envt mentions
alpha[1]
           tau_ty = beta[2] -> beta[2]
           constraints = alpha ~ [beta]
we don't quantify over beta (since it is fixed by envt)
so we must promote it!  The inferred type is just
  f :: beta -> beta

NB: promoteTyVarSet ignores coercion variables

Note [Quantification and partial signatures]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When choosing type variables to quantify, the basic plan is to
quantify over all type variables that are
 * free in the tau_tvs, and
 * not forced to be monomorphic (mono_tvs),
   for example by being free in the environment.

However, in the case of a partial type signature, we are doing inference
*in the presence of a type signature*. For example:
   f :: _ -> a
   f x = ...
or
   g :: (Eq _a) => _b -> _b
In both cases we use plan InferGen, and hence call simplifyInfer.  But
those 'a' variables are skolems (actually TyVarTvs), and we should be
sure to quantify over them.  This leads to several wrinkles:

* Wrinkle 1.  In the case of a type error
     f :: _ -> Maybe a
     f x = True && x
  The inferred type of 'f' is f :: Bool -> Bool, but there's a
  left-over error of form (Maybe a ~ Bool).  The error-reporting
  machine expects to find a binding site for the skolem 'a', so we
  add it to the quantified tyvars.

* Wrinkle 2.  Consider the partial type signature
     f :: (Eq _) => Int -> Int
     f x = x
  In normal cases that makes sense; e.g.
     g :: Eq _a => _a -> _a
     g x = x
  where the signature makes the type less general than it could
  be. But for 'f' we must therefore quantify over the user-annotated
  constraints, to get
     f :: forall a. Eq a => Int -> Int
  (thereby correctly triggering an ambiguity error later).  If we don't
  we'll end up with a strange open type
     f :: Eq alpha => Int -> Int
  which isn't ambiguous but is still very wrong.

  Bottom line: Try to quantify over any variable free in psig_theta,
  just like the tau-part of the type.

* Wrinkle 3 (#13482). Also consider
    f :: forall a. _ => Int -> Int
    f x = if (undefined :: a) == undefined then x else 0
  Here we get an (Eq a) constraint, but it's not mentioned in the
  psig_theta nor the type of 'f'.  But we still want to quantify
  over 'a' even if the monomorphism restriction is on.

* Wrinkle 4 (#14479)
    foo :: Num a => a -> a
    foo xxx = g xxx
      where
        g :: forall b. Num b => _ -> b
        g y = xxx + y

  In the signature for 'g', we cannot quantify over 'b' because it turns out to
  get unified with 'a', which is free in g's environment.  So we carefully
  refrain from bogusly quantifying, in GHC.Tc.Solver.decideMonoTyVars.  We
  report the error later, in GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.chooseInferredQuantifiers.

Note [growThetaTyVars vs closeWrtFunDeps]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GHC has two functions, growThetaTyVars and closeWrtFunDeps, both with
the same type and similar behavior. This Note outlines the differences
and why we use one or the other.

Both functions take a list of constraints. We will call these the
*candidates*.

closeWrtFunDeps takes a set of "determined" type variables and finds the
closure of that set with respect to the functional dependencies
within the class constraints in the set of candidates. So, if we
have

  class C a b | a -> b
  class D a b   -- no fundep
  candidates = {C (Maybe a) (Either b c), D (Maybe a) (Either d e)}

then closeWrtFunDeps {a} will return the set {a,b,c}.
This is because, if `a` is determined, then `b` and `c` are, too,
by functional dependency. closeWrtFunDeps called with any seed set not including
`a` will just return its argument, as only `a` determines any other
type variable (in this example).

growThetaTyVars operates similarly, but it behaves as if every
constraint has a functional dependency among all its arguments.
So, continuing our example, growThetaTyVars {a} will return
{a,b,c,d,e}. Put another way, growThetaTyVars grows the set of
variables to include all variables that are mentioned in the same
constraint (transitively).

We use closeWrtFunDeps in places where we need to know which variables are
*always* determined by some seed set. This includes
  * when determining the mono-tyvars in decideMonoTyVars. If `a`
    is going to be monomorphic, we need b and c to be also: they
    are determined by the choice for `a`.
  * when checking instance coverage, in
    GHC.Tc.Instance.FunDeps.checkInstCoverage

On the other hand, we use growThetaTyVars where we need to know
which variables *might* be determined by some seed set. This includes
  * deciding quantification (GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.chooseInferredQuantifiers
    and decideQuantifiedTyVars
How can `a` determine (say) `d` in the example above without a fundep?
Suppose we have
  instance (b ~ a, c ~ a) => D (Maybe [a]) (Either b c)
Now, if `a` turns out to be a list, it really does determine b and c.
The danger in overdoing quantification is the creation of an ambiguous
type signature, but this is conveniently caught in the validity checker.

Note [Quantification with errors]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we find that the RHS of the definition has some absolutely-insoluble
constraints (including especially "variable not in scope"), we

* Abandon all attempts to find a context to quantify over,
  and instead make the function fully-polymorphic in whatever
  type we have found

* Return a flag from simplifyInfer, indicating that we found an
  insoluble constraint.  This flag is used to suppress the ambiguity
  check for the inferred type, which may well be bogus, and which
  tends to obscure the real error.  This fix feels a bit clunky,
  but I failed to come up with anything better.

Reasons:
    - Avoid downstream errors
    - Do not perform an ambiguity test on a bogus type, which might well
      fail spuriously, thereby obfuscating the original insoluble error.
      #14000 is an example

I tried an alternative approach: simply failM, after emitting the
residual implication constraint; the exception will be caught in
GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.tcPolyBinds, which gives all the binders in the group the type
(forall a. a).  But that didn't work with -fdefer-type-errors, because
the recovery from failM emits no code at all, so there is no function
to run!   But -fdefer-type-errors aspires to produce a runnable program.

Note [Default while Inferring]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our current plan is that defaulting only happens at simplifyTop and
not simplifyInfer.  This may lead to some insoluble deferred constraints.
Example:

instance D g => C g Int b

constraint inferred = (forall b. 0 => C gamma alpha b) /\ Num alpha
type inferred       = gamma -> gamma

Now, if we try to default (alpha := Int) we will be able to refine the implication to
  (forall b. 0 => C gamma Int b)
which can then be simplified further to
  (forall b. 0 => D gamma)
Finally, we /can/ approximate this implication with (D gamma) and infer the quantified
type:  forall g. D g => g -> g

Instead what will currently happen is that we will get a quantified type
(forall g. g -> g) and an implication:
       forall g. 0 => (forall b. 0 => C g alpha b) /\ Num alpha

Which, even if the simplifyTop defaults (alpha := Int) we will still be left with an
unsolvable implication:
       forall g. 0 => (forall b. 0 => D g)

The concrete example would be:
       h :: C g a s => g -> a -> ST s a
       f (x::gamma) = (\_ -> x) (runST (h x (undefined::alpha)) + 1)

But it is quite tedious to do defaulting and resolve the implication constraints, and
we have not observed code breaking because of the lack of defaulting in inference, so
we don't do it for now.



Note [Minimize by Superclasses]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we quantify over a constraint, in simplifyInfer we need to
quantify over a constraint that is minimal in some sense: For
instance, if the final wanted constraint is (Eq alpha, Ord alpha),
we'd like to quantify over Ord alpha, because we can just get Eq alpha
from superclass selection from Ord alpha. This minimization is what
mkMinimalBySCs does. Then, simplifyInfer uses the minimal constraint
to check the original wanted.


Note [Avoid unnecessary constraint simplification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    -------- NB NB NB (Jun 12) -------------
    This note not longer applies; see the notes with #4361.
    But I'm leaving it in here so we remember the issue.)
    ----------------------------------------
When inferring the type of a let-binding, with simplifyInfer,
try to avoid unnecessarily simplifying class constraints.
Doing so aids sharing, but it also helps with delicate
situations like

   instance C t => C [t] where ..

   f :: C [t] => ....
   f x = let g y = ...(constraint C [t])...
         in ...
When inferring a type for 'g', we don't want to apply the
instance decl, because then we can't satisfy (C t).  So we
just notice that g isn't quantified over 't' and partition
the constraints before simplifying.

This only half-works, but then let-generalisation only half-works.

{- Note [Delete dead Given evidence bindings]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a result of superclass expansion, we speculatively
generate evidence bindings for Givens. E.g.
   f :: (a ~ b) => a -> b -> Bool
   f x y = ...
We'll have
   [G] d1 :: (a~b)
and we'll speculatively generate the evidence binding
   [G] d2 :: (a ~# b) = sc_sel d

Now d2 is available for solving.  But it may not be needed!  Usually
such dead superclass selections will eventually be dropped as dead
code, but:

 * It won't always be dropped (#13032).  In the case of an
   unlifted-equality superclass like d2 above, we generate
       case heq_sc d1 of d2 -> ...
   and we can't (in general) drop that case expression in case
   d1 is bottom.  So it's technically unsound to have added it
   in the first place.

 * Simply generating all those extra superclasses can generate lots of
   code that has to be zonked, only to be discarded later.  Better not
   to generate it in the first place.

   Moreover, if we simplify this implication more than once
   (e.g. because we can't solve it completely on the first iteration
   of simpl_loop), we'll generate all the same bindings AGAIN!

Easy solution: take advantage of the work we are doing to track dead
(unused) Givens, and use it to prune the Given bindings too.  This is
all done by neededEvVars.

This led to a remarkable 25% overall compiler allocation decrease in
test T12227.

But we don't get to discard all redundant equality superclasses, alas;
see #15205.

Note [Do not simplify ConstraintHoles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before printing the inferred value for a type hole (a _ wildcard in
a partial type signature), we simplify it w.r.t. any Givens. This
makes for an easier-to-understand diagnostic for the user.

However, we do not wish to do this for extra-constraint holes. Here is
the example for why (partial-sigs/should_compile/T12844):

  bar :: _ => FooData rngs
  bar = foo

  data FooData rngs

  class Foo xs where foo :: (Head xs ~ '(r,r')) => FooData xs

  type family Head (xs :: [k]) where Head (x ': xs) = x

GHC correctly infers that the extra-constraints wildcard on `bar`
should be (Head rngs ~ '(r, r'), Foo rngs). It then adds this
constraint as a Given on the implication constraint for `bar`. (This
implication is emitted by emitResidualConstraints.) The Hole for the _
is stored within the implication's WantedConstraints.  When
simplifyHoles is called, that constraint is already assumed as a
Given. Simplifying with respect to it turns it into ('(r, r') ~ '(r,
r'), Foo rngs), which is disastrous.

Furthermore, there is no need to simplify here: extra-constraints wildcards
are filled in with the output of the solver, in chooseInferredQuantifiers
(choose_psig_context), so they are already simplified. (Contrast to normal
type holes, which are just bound to a meta-variable.) Avoiding the poor output
is simple: just don't simplify extra-constraints wildcards.

This is the only reason we need to track ConstraintHole separately
from TypeHole in HoleSort.

See also Note [Extra-constraint holes in partial type signatures]
in GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.

Note [Tracking redundant constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Opt_WarnRedundantConstraints, GHC can report which
constraints of a type signature (or instance declaration) are
redundant, and can be omitted.  Here is an overview of how it
works.

This is all tested in typecheck/should_compile/T20602 (among
others).

----- What is a redundant constraint?

* The things that can be redundant are precisely the Given
  constraints of an implication.

* A constraint can be redundant in two different ways:
  a) It is not needed by the Wanted constraints covered by the
     implication E.g.
       f :: Eq a => a -> Bool
       f x = True  -- Equality not used
  b) It is implied by other givens.  E.g.
       f :: (Eq a, Ord a)     => blah   -- Eq a unnecessary
       g :: (Eq a, a~b, Eq b) => blah   -- Either Eq a or Eq b unnecessary

*  To find (a) we need to know which evidence bindings are 'wanted';
   hence the eb_is_given field on an EvBind.

*  To find (b), we use mkMinimalBySCs on the Givens to see if any
   are unnecessary.

----- How tracking works

* When two Givens are the same, we drop the evidence for the one
  that requires more superclass selectors. This is done
  according to Note [Replacement vs keeping] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.

* The ic_need fields of an Implic records in-scope (given) evidence
  variables bound by the context, that were needed to solve this
  implication (so far).  See the declaration of Implication.

* When the constraint solver finishes solving all the wanteds in
  an implication, it sets its status to IC_Solved

  - The ics_dead field, of IC_Solved, records the subset of this
    implication's ic_given that are redundant (not needed).

* We compute which evidence variables are needed by an implication
  in setImplicationStatus.  A variable is needed if
    a) it is free in the RHS of a Wanted EvBind,
    b) it is free in the RHS of an EvBind whose LHS is needed, or
    c) it is in the ics_need of a nested implication.

* After computing which variables are needed, we then look at the
  remaining variables for internal redundancies. This is case (b)
  from above. This is also done in setImplicationStatus.
  Note that we only look for case (b) if case (a) shows up empty,
  as exemplified below.

* We need to be careful not to discard an implication
  prematurely, even one that is fully solved, because we might
  thereby forget which variables it needs, and hence wrongly
  report a constraint as redundant.  But we can discard it once
  its free vars have been incorporated into its parent; or if it
  simply has no free vars. This careful discarding is also
  handled in setImplicationStatus.

* Examples:

    f, g, h :: (Eq a, Ord a) => a -> Bool
    f x = x == x
    g x = x > x
    h x = x == x && x > x

    All three will discover that they have two [G] Eq a constraints:
    one as given and one extracted from the Ord a constraint. They will
    both discard the latter, as noted above and in
    Note [Replacement vs keeping] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.

    The body of f uses the [G] Eq a, but not the [G] Ord a. It will
    report a redundant Ord a using the logic for case (a).

    The body of g uses the [G] Ord a, but not the [G] Eq a. It will
    report a redundant Eq a using the logic for case (a).

    The body of h uses both [G] Ord a and [G] Eq a. Case (a) will
    thus come up with nothing redundant. But then, the case (b)
    check will discover that Eq a is redundant and report this.

    If we did case (b) even when case (a) reports something, then
    we would report both constraints as redundant for f, which is
    terrible.

----- Reporting redundant constraints

* GHC.Tc.Errors does the actual warning, in warnRedundantConstraints.

* We don't report redundant givens for *every* implication; only
  for those which reply True to GHC.Tc.Solver.warnRedundantGivens:

   - For example, in a class declaration, the default method *can*
     use the class constraint, but it certainly doesn't *have* to,
     and we don't want to report an error there.

   - More subtly, in a function definition
       f :: (Ord a, Ord a, Ix a) => a -> a
       f x = rhs
     we do an ambiguity check on the type (which would find that one
     of the Ord a constraints was redundant), and then we check that
     the definition has that type (which might find that both are
     redundant).  We don't want to report the same error twice, so we
     disable it for the ambiguity check.  Hence using two different
     FunSigCtxts, one with the warn-redundant field set True, and the
     other set False in
        - GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.tcSpecPrag
        - GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind.tcTySig

  This decision is taken in setImplicationStatus, rather than GHC.Tc.Errors
  so that we can discard implication constraints that we don't need.
  So ics_dead consists only of the *reportable* redundant givens.

----- Shortcomings

Consider

  j :: (Eq a, a ~ b) => a -> Bool
  j x = x == x

  k :: (Eq a, b ~ a) => a -> Bool
  k x = x == x

Currently (Nov 2021), j issues no warning, while k says that b ~ a
is redundant. This is because j uses the a ~ b constraint to rewrite
everything to be in terms of b, while k does none of that. This is
ridiculous, but I (Richard E) don't see a good fix.

{- Note [ApproximateWC]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
approximateWC takes a constraint, typically arising from the RHS of a
let-binding whose type we are *inferring*, and extracts from it some
*simple* constraints that we might plausibly abstract over.  Of course
the top-level simple constraints are plausible, but we also float constraints
out from inside, if they are not captured by skolems.

The same function is used when doing type-class defaulting (see the call
to applyDefaultingRules) to extract constraints that might be defaulted.

There is one caveat:

1.  When inferring most-general types (in simplifyInfer), we do *not*
    float anything out if the implication binds equality constraints,
    because that defeats the OutsideIn story.  Consider
       data T a where
         TInt :: T Int
         MkT :: T a

       f TInt = 3::Int

    We get the implication (a ~ Int => res ~ Int), where so far we've decided
      f :: T a -> res
    We don't want to float (res~Int) out because then we'll infer
      f :: T a -> Int
    which is only on of the possible types. (GHC 7.6 accidentally *did*
    float out of such implications, which meant it would happily infer
    non-principal types.)

   HOWEVER (#12797) in findDefaultableGroups we are not worried about
   the most-general type; and we /do/ want to float out of equalities.
   Hence the boolean flag to approximateWC.

------ Historical note -----------
There used to be a second caveat, driven by #8155

   2. We do not float out an inner constraint that shares a type variable
      (transitively) with one that is trapped by a skolem.  Eg
          forall a.  F a ~ beta, Integral beta
      We don't want to float out (Integral beta).  Doing so would be bad
      when defaulting, because then we'll default beta:=Integer, and that
      makes the error message much worse; we'd get
          Can't solve  F a ~ Integer
      rather than
          Can't solve  Integral (F a)

      Moreover, floating out these "contaminated" constraints doesn't help
      when generalising either. If we generalise over (Integral b), we still
      can't solve the retained implication (forall a. F a ~ b).  Indeed,
      arguably that too would be a harder error to understand.

But this transitive closure stuff gives rise to a complex rule for
when defaulting actually happens, and one that was never documented.
Moreover (#12923), the more complex rule is sometimes NOT what
you want.  So I simply removed the extra code to implement the
contamination stuff.  There was zero effect on the testsuite (not even #8155).
------ End of historical note -----------

Note [DefaultTyVar]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
defaultTyVar is used on any un-instantiated meta type variables to
default any RuntimeRep variables to LiftedRep.  This is important
to ensure that instance declarations match.  For example consider

     instance Show (a->b)
     foo x = show (\_ -> True)

Then we'll get a constraint (Show (p ->q)) where p has kind (TYPE r),
and that won't match the tcTypeKind (*) in the instance decl.  See tests
tc217 and tc175.

We look only at touchable type variables. No further constraints
are going to affect these type variables, so it's time to do it by
hand.  However we aren't ready to default them fully to () or
whatever, because the type-class defaulting rules have yet to run.

An alternate implementation would be to emit a Wanted constraint setting
the RuntimeRep variable to LiftedRep, but this seems unnecessarily indirect.

Note [Promote _and_ default when inferring]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we are inferring a type, we simplify the constraint, and then use
approximateWC to produce a list of candidate constraints.  Then we MUST

  a) Promote any meta-tyvars that have been floated out by
     approximateWC, to restore invariant (WantedInv) described in
     Note [TcLevel invariants] in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.

  b) Default the kind of any meta-tyvars that are not mentioned in
     in the environment.

To see (b), suppose the constraint is (C ((a :: OpenKind) -> Int)), and we
have an instance (C ((x:*) -> Int)).  The instance doesn't match -- but it
should!  If we don't solve the constraint, we'll stupidly quantify over
(C (a->Int)) and, worse, in doing so skolemiseQuantifiedTyVar will quantify over
(b:*) instead of (a:OpenKind), which can lead to disaster; see #7332.
#7641 is a simpler example.

Note [Promoting unification variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we float an equality out of an implication we must "promote" free
unification variables of the equality, in order to maintain Invariant
(WantedInv) from Note [TcLevel invariants] in GHC.Tc.Types.TcType.

This is absolutely necessary. Consider the following example. We start
with two implications and a class with a functional dependency.

    class C x y | x -> y
    instance C [a] [a]

    (I1)      [untch=beta]forall b. 0 => F Int ~ [beta]
    (I2)      [untch=beta]forall c. 0 => F Int ~ [[alpha]] /\ C beta [c]

We float (F Int ~ [beta]) out of I1, and we float (F Int ~ [[alpha]]) out of I2.
They may react to yield that (beta := [alpha]) which can then be pushed inwards
the leftover of I2 to get (C [alpha] [a]) which, using the FunDep, will mean that
(alpha := a). In the end we will have the skolem 'b' escaping in the untouchable
beta! Concrete example is in indexed_types/should_fail/ExtraTcsUntch.hs:

    class C x y | x -> y where
     op :: x -> y -> ()

    instance C [a] [a]

    type family F a :: *

    h :: F Int -> ()
    h = undefined

    data TEx where
      TEx :: a -> TEx

    f (x::beta) =
        let g1 :: forall b. b -> ()
            g1 _ = h [x]
            g2 z = case z of TEx y -> (h [[undefined]], op x [y])
        in (g1 '3', g2 undefined)

{-
Note [Avoiding spurious errors]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When doing the unification for defaulting, we check for skolem
type variables, and simply don't default them.  For example:
   f = (*)      -- Monomorphic
   g :: Num a => a -> a
   g x = f x x
Here, we get a complaint when checking the type signature for g,
that g isn't polymorphic enough; but then we get another one when
dealing with the (Num a) context arising from f's definition;
we try to unify a with Int (to default it), but find that it's
already been unified with the rigid variable from g's type sig.

Note [Multi-parameter defaults]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With -XExtendedDefaultRules, we default only based on single-variable
constraints, but do not exclude from defaulting any type variables which also
appear in multi-variable constraints. This means that the following will
default properly:

   default (Integer, Double)

   class A b (c :: Symbol) where
      a :: b -> Proxy c

   instance A Integer c where a _ = Proxy

   main = print (a 5 :: Proxy "5")

Note that if we change the above instance ("instance A Integer") to
"instance A Double", we get an error:

   No instance for (A Integer "5")

This is because the first defaulted type (Integer) has successfully satisfied
its single-parameter constraints (in this case Num).
