Note [Basic Simplifier Plan]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Pick an element from the WorkList if there exists one with depth
   less than our context-stack depth.

2. Run it down the 'stage' pipeline. Stages are:
      - canonicalization
      - inert reactions
      - spontaneous reactions
      - top-level interactions
   Each stage returns a StopOrContinue and may have sideffected
   the inerts or worklist.

   The threading of the stages is as follows:
      - If (Stop) is returned by a stage then we start again from Step 1.
      - If (ContinueWith ct) is returned by a stage, we feed 'ct' on to
        the next stage in the pipeline.
4. If the element has survived (i.e. ContinueWith x) the last stage
   then we add him in the inerts and jump back to Step 1.

If in Step 1 no such element exists, we have exceeded our context-stack
depth and will simply fail.

Note [Unflatten after solving the simple wanteds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We unflatten after solving the wc_simples of an implication, and before attempting
to float. This means that

 * The fsk/fmv flatten-skolems only survive during solveSimples.  We don't
   need to worry about them across successive passes over the constraint tree.
   (E.g. we don't need the old ic_fsk field of an implication.

 * When floating an equality outwards, we don't need to worry about floating its
   associated flattening constraints.

 * Another tricky case becomes easy: #4935
       type instance F True a b = a
       type instance F False a b = b

       [w] F c a b ~ gamma
       (c ~ True) => a ~ gamma
       (c ~ False) => b ~ gamma

   Obviously this is soluble with gamma := F c a b, and unflattening
   will do exactly that after solving the simple constraints and before
   attempting the implications.  Before, when we were not unflattening,
   we had to push Wanted funeqs in as new givens.  Yuk!

   Another example that becomes easy: indexed_types/should_fail/T7786
      [W] BuriedUnder sub k Empty ~ fsk
      [W] Intersect fsk inv ~ s
      [w] xxx[1] ~ s
      [W] forall[2] . (xxx[1] ~ Empty)
                   => Intersect (BuriedUnder sub k Empty) inv ~ Empty

Note [Running plugins on unflattened wanteds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is an annoying mismatch between solveSimpleGivens and
solveSimpleWanteds, because the latter needs to fiddle with the inert
set, unflatten and zonk the wanteds.  It passes the zonked wanteds
to runTcPluginsWanteds, which produces a replacement set of wanteds,
some additional insolubles and a flag indicating whether to go round
the loop again.  If so, prepareInertsForImplications is used to remove
the previous wanteds (which will still be in the inert set).  Note
that prepareInertsForImplications will discard the insolubles, so we
must keep track of them separately.

{- Note [The solveSimpleWanteds loop]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solving a bunch of simple constraints is done in a loop,
(the 'go' loop of 'solveSimpleWanteds'):
  1. Try to solve them; unflattening may lead to improvement that
     was not exploitable during solving
  2. Try the plugin
  3. If step 1 did improvement during unflattening; or if the plugin
     wants to run again, go back to step 1

Non-obviously, improvement can also take place during
the unflattening that takes place in step (1). See GHC.Tc.Solver.Flatten,
See Note [Unflattening can force the solver to iterate]

Note [The Solver Invariant]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We always add Givens first.  So you might think that the solver has
the invariant

   If the work-item is Given,
   then the inert item must Given

But this isn't quite true.  Suppose we have,
    c1: [W] beta ~ [alpha], c2 : [W] blah, c3 :[W] alpha ~ Int
After processing the first two, we get
     c1: [G] beta ~ [alpha], c2 : [W] blah
Now, c3 does not interact with the given c1, so when we spontaneously
solve c3, we must re-react it with the inert set.  So we can attempt a
reaction between inert c2 [W] and work-item c3 [G].

It *is* true that [Solver Invariant]
   If the work-item is Given,
   AND there is a reaction
   then the inert item must Given
or, equivalently,
   If the work-item is Given,
   and the inert item is Wanted/Derived
   then there is no reaction

Note [Replacement vs keeping]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we have two Given constraints both of type (C tys), say, which should
we keep?  More subtle than you might think!

  * Constraints come from different levels (different_level_strategy)

      - For implicit parameters we want to keep the innermost (deepest)
        one, so that it overrides the outer one.
        See Note [Shadowing of Implicit Parameters]

      - For everything else, we want to keep the outermost one.  Reason: that
        makes it more likely that the inner one will turn out to be unused,
        and can be reported as redundant.  See Note [Tracking redundant constraints]
        in GHC.Tc.Solver.

        It transpires that using the outermost one is responsible for an
        8% performance improvement in nofib cryptarithm2, compared to
        just rolling the dice.  I didn't investigate why.

  * Constraints coming from the same level (i.e. same implication)

       (a) Always get rid of InstSC ones if possible, since they are less
           useful for solving.  If both are InstSC, choose the one with
           the smallest TypeSize
           See Note [Solving superclass constraints] in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance

       (b) Keep the one that has a non-trivial evidence binding.
              Example:  f :: (Eq a, Ord a) => blah
              then we may find [G] d3 :: Eq a
                               [G] d2 :: Eq a
                with bindings  d3 = sc_sel (d1::Ord a)
            We want to discard d2 in favour of the superclass selection from
            the Ord dictionary.
            Why? See Note [Tracking redundant constraints] in GHC.Tc.Solver again.

       (c) But don't do (b) if the evidence binding depends transitively on the
           one without a binding.  Example (with RecursiveSuperClasses)
              class C a => D a
              class D a => C a
           Inert:     d1 :: C a, d2 :: D a
           Binds:     d3 = sc_sel d2, d2 = sc_sel d1
           Work item: d3 :: C a
           Then it'd be ridiculous to replace d1 with d3 in the inert set!
           Hence the findNeedEvVars test.  See #14774.

  * Finally, when there is still a choice, use KeepInert rather than
    KeepWork, for two reasons:
      - to avoid unnecessary munging of the inert set.
      - to cut off superclass loops; see Note [Superclass loops] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical

Doing the depth-check for implicit parameters, rather than making the work item
always override, is important.  Consider

    data T a where { T1 :: (?x::Int) => T Int; T2 :: T a }

    f :: (?x::a) => T a -> Int
    f T1 = ?x
    f T2 = 3

We have a [G] (?x::a) in the inert set, and at the pattern match on T1 we add
two new givens in the work-list:  [G] (?x::Int)
                                  [G] (a ~ Int)
Now consider these steps
  - process a~Int, kicking out (?x::a)
  - process (?x::Int), the inner given, adding to inert set
  - process (?x::a), the outer given, overriding the inner given
Wrong!  The depth-check ensures that the inner implicit parameter wins.
(Actually I think that the order in which the work-list is processed means
that this chain of events won't happen, but that's very fragile.)

Note [Multiple matching irreds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You might think that it's impossible to have multiple irreds all match the
work item; after all, interactIrred looks for matches and solves one from the
other. However, note that interacting insoluble, non-droppable irreds does not
do this matching. We thus might end up with several insoluble, non-droppable,
matching irreds in the inert set. When another irred comes along that we have
not yet labeled insoluble, we can find multiple matches. These multiple matches
cause no harm, but it would be wrong to ASSERT that they aren't there (as we
once had done). This problem can be tickled by typecheck/should_compile/holes.

{- Note [Solving irreducible equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider (#14333)
  [G] a b ~R# c d
  [W] c d ~R# a b
Clearly we should be able to solve this! Even though the constraints are
not decomposable. We solve this when looking up the work-item in the
irreducible constraints to look for an identical one.  When doing this
lookup, findMatchingIrreds spots the equality case, and matches either
way around. It has to return a swap-flag so we can generate evidence
that is the right way round too.

Note [Do not add duplicate derived insolubles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In general we *must* add an insoluble (Int ~ Bool) even if there is
one such there already, because they may come from distinct call
sites.  Not only do we want an error message for each, but with
-fdefer-type-errors we must generate evidence for each.  But for
*derived* insolubles, we only want to report each one once.  Why?

(a) A constraint (C r s t) where r -> s, say, may generate the same fundep
    equality many times, as the original constraint is successively rewritten.

(b) Ditto the successive iterations of the main solver itself, as it traverses
    the constraint tree. See example below.

Also for *given* insolubles we may get repeated errors, as we
repeatedly traverse the constraint tree.  These are relatively rare
anyway, so removing duplicates seems ok.  (Alternatively we could take
the SrcLoc into account.)

Note that the test does not need to be particularly efficient because
it is only used if the program has a type error anyway.

Example of (b): assume a top-level class and instance declaration:

  class D a b | a -> b
  instance D [a] [a]

Assume we have started with an implication:

  forall c. Eq c => { wc_simple = D [c] c [W] }

which we have simplified to:

  forall c. Eq c => { wc_simple = D [c] c [W]
                                  (c ~ [c]) [D] }

For some reason, e.g. because we floated an equality somewhere else,
we might try to re-solve this implication. If we do not do a
dropDerivedWC, then we will end up trying to solve the following
constraints the second time:

  (D [c] c) [W]
  (c ~ [c]) [D]

which will result in two Deriveds to end up in the insoluble set:

  wc_simple   = D [c] c [W]
               (c ~ [c]) [D], (c ~ [c]) [D]

Note [Shortcut solving]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we interact a [W] constraint with a [G] constraint that solves it, there is
a possibility that we could produce better code if instead we solved from a
top-level instance declaration (See #12791, #5835). For example:

    class M a b where m :: a -> b

    type C a b = (Num a, M a b)

    f :: C Int b => b -> Int -> Int
    f _ x = x + 1

The body of `f` requires a [W] `Num Int` instance. We could solve this
constraint from the givens because we have `C Int b` and that provides us a
solution for `Num Int`. This would let us produce core like the following
(with -O2):

    f :: forall b. C Int b => b -> Int -> Int
    f = \ (@ b) ($d(%,%) :: C Int b) _ (eta1 :: Int) ->
        + @ Int
          (GHC.Classes.$p1(%,%) @ (Num Int) @ (M Int b) $d(%,%))
          eta1
          A.f1

This is bad! We could do /much/ better if we solved [W] `Num Int` directly
from the instance that we have in scope:

    f :: forall b. C Int b => b -> Int -> Int
    f = \ (@ b) _ _ (x :: Int) ->
        case x of { GHC.Types.I# x1 -> GHC.Types.I# (GHC.Prim.+# x1 1#) }

** NB: It is important to emphasize that all this is purely an optimization:
** exactly the same programs should typecheck with or without this
** procedure.

Solving fully
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a reason why the solver does not simply try to solve such
constraints with top-level instances. If the solver finds a relevant
instance declaration in scope, that instance may require a context
that can't be solved for. A good example of this is:

    f :: Ord [a] => ...
    f x = ..Need Eq [a]...

If we have instance `Eq a => Eq [a]` in scope and we tried to use it, we would
be left with the obligation to solve the constraint Eq a, which we cannot. So we
must be conservative in our attempt to use an instance declaration to solve the
[W] constraint we're interested in.

Our rule is that we try to solve all of the instance's subgoals
recursively all at once. Precisely: We only attempt to solve
constraints of the form `C1, ... Cm => C t1 ... t n`, where all the Ci
are themselves class constraints of the form `C1', ... Cm' => C' t1'
... tn'` and we only succeed if the entire tree of constraints is
solvable from instances.

An example that succeeds:

    class Eq a => C a b | b -> a where
      m :: b -> a

    f :: C [Int] b => b -> Bool
    f x = m x == []

We solve for `Eq [Int]`, which requires `Eq Int`, which we also have. This
produces the following core:

    f :: forall b. C [Int] b => b -> Bool
    f = \ (@ b) ($dC :: C [Int] b) (x :: b) ->
        GHC.Classes.$fEq[]_$s$c==
          (m @ [Int] @ b $dC x) (GHC.Types.[] @ Int)

An example that fails:

    class Eq a => C a b | b -> a where
      m :: b -> a

    f :: C [a] b => b -> Bool
    f x = m x == []

Which, because solving `Eq [a]` demands `Eq a` which we cannot solve, produces:

    f :: forall a b. C [a] b => b -> Bool
    f = \ (@ a) (@ b) ($dC :: C [a] b) (eta :: b) ->
        ==
          @ [a]
          (A.$p1C @ [a] @ b $dC)
          (m @ [a] @ b $dC eta)
          (GHC.Types.[] @ a)

Note [Shortcut solving: type families]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have (#13943)
  class Take (n :: Nat) where ...
  instance {-# OVERLAPPING #-}                    Take 0 where ..
  instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} (Take (n - 1)) => Take n where ..

And we have [W] Take 3.  That only matches one instance so we get
[W] Take (3-1).  Really we should now flatten to reduce the (3-1) to 2, and
so on -- but that is reproducing yet more of the solver.  Sigh.  For now,
we just give up (remember all this is just an optimisation).

But we must not just naively try to lookup (Take (3-1)) in the
InstEnv, or it'll (wrongly) appear not to match (Take 0) and get a
unique match on the (Take n) instance.  That leads immediately to an
infinite loop.  Hence the check that 'preds' have no type families
(isTyFamFree).

Note [Shortcut solving: incoherence]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This optimization relies on coherence of dictionaries to be correct. When we
cannot assume coherence because of IncoherentInstances then this optimization
can change the behavior of the user's code.

The following four modules produce a program whose output would change depending
on whether we apply this optimization when IncoherentInstances is in effect:

#########
    {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-}
    module A where

    class A a where
      int :: a -> Int

    class A a => C a b where
      m :: b -> a -> a

#########
    {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses, FlexibleInstances #-}
    module B where

    import A

    instance A a where
      int _ = 1

    instance C a [b] where
      m _ = id

#########
    {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances, MultiParamTypeClasses, FlexibleContexts #-}
    {-# LANGUAGE IncoherentInstances #-}
    module C where

    import A

    instance A Int where
      int _ = 2

    instance C Int [Int] where
      m _ = id

    intC :: C Int a => a -> Int -> Int
    intC _ x = int x

#########
    module Main where

    import A
    import B
    import C

    main :: IO ()
    main = print (intC [] (0::Int))

The output of `main` if we avoid the optimization under the effect of
IncoherentInstances is `1`. If we were to do the optimization, the output of
`main` would be `2`.

Note [Shortcut try_solve_from_instance]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The workhorse of the short-cut solver is
    try_solve_from_instance :: (EvBindMap, DictMap CtEvidence)
                            -> CtEvidence       -- Solve this
                            -> MaybeT TcS (EvBindMap, DictMap CtEvidence)
Note that:

* The CtEvidence is the goal to be solved

* The MaybeT manages early failure if we find a subgoal that
  cannot be solved from instances.

* The (EvBindMap, DictMap CtEvidence) is an accumulating purely-functional
  state that allows try_solve_from_instance to augmennt the evidence
  bindings and inert_solved_dicts as it goes.

  If it succeeds, we commit all these bindings and solved dicts to the
  main TcS InertSet.  If not, we abandon it all entirely.

Passing along the solved_dicts important for two reasons:

* We need to be able to handle recursive super classes. The
  solved_dicts state  ensures that we remember what we have already
  tried to solve to avoid looping.

* As #15164 showed, it can be important to exploit sharing between
  goals. E.g. To solve G we may need G1 and G2. To solve G1 we may need H;
  and to solve G2 we may need H. If we don't spot this sharing we may
  solve H twice; and if this pattern repeats we may get exponentially bad
  behaviour.

{- Note [Shadowing of Implicit Parameters]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider the following example:

f :: (?x :: Char) => Char
f = let ?x = 'a' in ?x

The "let ?x = ..." generates an implication constraint of the form:

?x :: Char => ?x :: Char

Furthermore, the signature for `f` also generates an implication
constraint, so we end up with the following nested implication:

?x :: Char => (?x :: Char => ?x :: Char)

Note that the wanted (?x :: Char) constraint may be solved in
two incompatible ways:  either by using the parameter from the
signature, or by using the local definition.  Our intention is
that the local definition should "shadow" the parameter of the
signature, and we implement this as follows: when we add a new
*given* implicit parameter to the inert set, it replaces any existing
givens for the same implicit parameter.

Similarly, consider
   f :: (?x::a) => Bool -> a

   g v = let ?x::Int = 3
         in (f v, let ?x::Bool = True in f v)

This should probably be well typed, with
   g :: Bool -> (Int, Bool)

So the inner binding for ?x::Bool *overrides* the outer one.

See ticket #17104 for a rather tricky example of this overriding
behaviour.

All this works for the normal cases but it has an odd side effect in
some pathological programs like this:
-- This is accepted, the second parameter shadows
f1 :: (?x :: Int, ?x :: Char) => Char
f1 = ?x

-- This is rejected, the second parameter shadows
f2 :: (?x :: Int, ?x :: Char) => Int
f2 = ?x

Both of these are actually wrong:  when we try to use either one,
we'll get two incompatible wanted constraints (?x :: Int, ?x :: Char),
which would lead to an error.

I can think of two ways to fix this:

  1. Simply disallow multiple constraints for the same implicit
    parameter---this is never useful, and it can be detected completely
    syntactically.

  2. Move the shadowing machinery to the location where we nest
     implications, and add some code here that will produce an
     error if we get multiple givens for the same implicit parameter.

{- Note [Type inference for type families with injectivity]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have a type family with an injectivity annotation:
    type family F a b = r | r -> b

Then if we have two CFunEqCan constraints for F with the same RHS
   F s1 t1 ~ rhs
   F s2 t2 ~ rhs
then we can use the injectivity to get a new Derived constraint on
the injective argument
  [D] t1 ~ t2

That in turn can help GHC solve constraints that would otherwise require
guessing.  For example, consider the ambiguity check for
   f :: F Int b -> Int
We get the constraint
   [W] F Int b ~ F Int beta
where beta is a unification variable.  Injectivity lets us pick beta ~ b.

Injectivity information is also used at the call sites. For example:
   g = f True
gives rise to
   [W] F Int b ~ Bool
from which we can derive b.  This requires looking at the defining equations of
a type family, ie. finding equation with a matching RHS (Bool in this example)
and inferring values of type variables (b in this example) from the LHS patterns
of the matching equation.  For closed type families we have to perform
additional apartness check for the selected equation to check that the selected
is guaranteed to fire for given LHS arguments.

These new constraints are simply *Derived* constraints; they have no evidence.
We could go further and offer evidence from decomposing injective type-function
applications, but that would require new evidence forms, and an extension to
FC, so we don't do that right now (Dec 14).

See also Note [Injective type families] in GHC.Core.TyCon


Note [Cache-caused loops]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is very dangerous to cache a rewritten wanted family equation as 'solved' in our
solved cache (which is the default behaviour or xCtEvidence), because the interaction
may not be contributing towards a solution. Here is an example:

Initial inert set:
  [W] g1 : F a ~ beta1
Work item:
  [W] g2 : F a ~ beta2
The work item will react with the inert yielding the _same_ inert set plus:
    (i)   Will set g2 := g1 `cast` g3
    (ii)  Will add to our solved cache that [S] g2 : F a ~ beta2
    (iii) Will emit [W] g3 : beta1 ~ beta2
Now, the g3 work item will be spontaneously solved to [G] g3 : beta1 ~ beta2
and then it will react the item in the inert ([W] g1 : F a ~ beta1). So it
will set
      g1 := g ; sym g3
and what is g? Well it would ideally be a new goal of type (F a ~ beta2) but
remember that we have this in our solved cache, and it is ... g2! In short we
created the evidence loop:

        g2 := g1 ; g3
        g3 := refl
        g1 := g2 ; sym g3

To avoid this situation we do not cache as solved any workitems (or inert)
which did not really made a 'step' towards proving some goal. Solved's are
just an optimization so we don't lose anything in terms of completeness of
solving.


Note [Efficient Orientation]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we are interacting two FunEqCans with the same LHS:
          (inert)  ci :: (F ty ~ xi_i)
          (work)   cw :: (F ty ~ xi_w)
We prefer to keep the inert (else we pass the work item on down
the pipeline, which is a bit silly).  If we keep the inert, we
will (a) discharge 'cw'
     (b) produce a new equality work-item (xi_w ~ xi_i)
Notice the orientation (xi_w ~ xi_i) NOT (xi_i ~ xi_w):
    new_work :: xi_w ~ xi_i
    cw := ci ; sym new_work
Why?  Consider the simplest case when xi1 is a type variable.  If
we generate xi1~xi2, processing that constraint will kick out 'ci'.
If we generate xi2~xi1, there is less chance of that happening.
Of course it can and should still happen if xi1=a, xi1=Int, say.
But we want to avoid it happening needlessly.

Similarly, if we *can't* keep the inert item (because inert is Wanted,
and work is Given, say), we prefer to orient the new equality (xi_i ~
xi_w).

Note [Carefully solve the right CFunEqCan]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   ---- OLD COMMENT, NOW NOT NEEDED
   ---- because we now allow multiple
   ---- wanted FunEqs with the same head
Consider the constraints
  c1 :: F Int ~ a      -- Arising from an application line 5
  c2 :: F Int ~ Bool   -- Arising from an application line 10
Suppose that 'a' is a unification variable, arising only from
flattening.  So there is no error on line 5; it's just a flattening
variable.  But there is (or might be) an error on line 10.

Two ways to combine them, leaving either (Plan A)
  c1 :: F Int ~ a      -- Arising from an application line 5
  c3 :: a ~ Bool       -- Arising from an application line 10
or (Plan B)
  c2 :: F Int ~ Bool   -- Arising from an application line 10
  c4 :: a ~ Bool       -- Arising from an application line 5

Plan A will unify c3, leaving c1 :: F Int ~ Bool as an error
on the *totally innocent* line 5.  An example is test SimpleFail16
where the expected/actual message comes out backwards if we use
the wrong plan.

The second is the right thing to do.  Hence the isMetaTyVarTy
test when solving pairwise CFunEqCan.

{- Note [Avoid double unifications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The spontaneous solver has to return a given which mentions the unified unification
variable *on the left* of the equality. Here is what happens if not:
  Original wanted:  (a ~ alpha),  (alpha ~ Int)
We spontaneously solve the first wanted, without changing the order!
      given : a ~ alpha      [having unified alpha := a]
Now the second wanted comes along, but he cannot rewrite the given, so we simply continue.
At the end we spontaneously solve that guy, *reunifying*  [alpha := Int]

We avoid this problem by orienting the resulting given so that the unification
variable is on the left.  [Note that alternatively we could attempt to
enforce this at canonicalization]

See also Note [No touchables as FunEq RHS] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad; avoiding
double unifications is the main reason we disallow touchable
unification variables as RHS of type family equations: F xis ~ alpha.

Note [Do not unify representational equalities]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider   [W] alpha ~R# b
where alpha is touchable. Should we unify alpha := b?

Certainly not!  Unifying forces alpha and be to be the same; but they
only need to be representationally equal types.

For example, we might have another constraint [W] alpha ~# N b
where
  newtype N b = MkN b
and we want to get alpha := N b.

See also #15144, which was caused by unifying a representational
equality (in the unflattener).

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

When we spot an equality arising from a functional dependency,
we now use that equality (a "wanted") to rewrite the work-item
constraint right away.  This avoids two dangers

 Danger 1: If we send the original constraint on down the pipeline
           it may react with an instance declaration, and in delicate
           situations (when a Given overlaps with an instance) that
           may produce new insoluble goals: see #4952

 Danger 2: If we don't rewrite the constraint, it may re-react
           with the same thing later, and produce the same equality
           again --> termination worries.

To achieve this required some refactoring of GHC.Tc.Instance.FunDeps (nicer
now!).

Note [FunDep and implicit parameter reactions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently, our story of interacting two dictionaries (or a dictionary
and top-level instances) for functional dependencies, and implicit
parameters, is that we simply produce new Derived equalities.  So for example

        class D a b | a -> b where ...
    Inert:
        d1 :g D Int Bool
    WorkItem:
        d2 :w D Int alpha

    We generate the extra work item
        cv :d alpha ~ Bool
    where 'cv' is currently unused.  However, this new item can perhaps be
    spontaneously solved to become given and react with d2,
    discharging it in favour of a new constraint d2' thus:
        d2' :w D Int Bool
        d2 := d2' |> D Int cv
    Now d2' can be discharged from d1

We could be more aggressive and try to *immediately* solve the dictionary
using those extra equalities, but that requires those equalities to carry
evidence and derived do not carry evidence.

If that were the case with the same inert set and work item we might dischard
d2 directly:

        cv :w alpha ~ Bool
        d2 := d1 |> D Int cv

But in general it's a bit painful to figure out the necessary coercion,
so we just take the first approach. Here is a better example. Consider:
    class C a b c | a -> b
And:
     [Given]  d1 : C T Int Char
     [Wanted] d2 : C T beta Int
In this case, it's *not even possible* to solve the wanted immediately.
So we should simply output the functional dependency and add this guy
[but NOT its superclasses] back in the worklist. Even worse:
     [Given] d1 : C T Int beta
     [Wanted] d2: C T beta Int
Then it is solvable, but its very hard to detect this on the spot.

It's exactly the same with implicit parameters, except that the
"aggressive" approach would be much easier to implement.

Note [Weird fundeps]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider   class Het a b | a -> b where
              het :: m (f c) -> a -> m b

           class GHet (a :: * -> *) (b :: * -> *) | a -> b
           instance            GHet (K a) (K [a])
           instance Het a b => GHet (K a) (K b)

The two instances don't actually conflict on their fundeps,
although it's pretty strange.  So they are both accepted. Now
try   [W] GHet (K Int) (K Bool)
This triggers fundeps from both instance decls;
      [D] K Bool ~ K [a]
      [D] K Bool ~ K beta
And there's a risk of complaining about Bool ~ [a].  But in fact
the Wanted matches the second instance, so we never get as far
as the fundeps.

#7875 is a case in point.

Note [Flatten when discharging CFunEqCan]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have the following scenario (#16512):

type family LV (as :: [Type]) (b :: Type) = (r :: Type) | r -> as b where
  LV (a ': as) b = a -> LV as b

[WD] w1 :: LV as0 (a -> b) ~ fmv1 (CFunEqCan)
[WD] w2 :: fmv1 ~ (a -> fmv2) (CTyEqCan)
[WD] w3 :: LV as0 b ~ fmv2 (CFunEqCan)

We start with w1. Because LV is injective, we wish to see if the RHS of the
equation matches the RHS of the CFunEqCan. The RHS of a CFunEqCan is always an
fmv, so we "look through" to get (a -> fmv2). Then we run tcUnifyTyWithTFs.
That performs the match, but it allows a type family application (such as the
LV in the RHS of the equation) to match with anything. (See "Injective type
families" by Stolarek et al., HS'15, Fig. 2) The matching succeeds, which
means we can improve as0 (and b, but that's not interesting here). However,
because the RHS of w1 can't see through fmv2 (we have no way of looking up a
LHS of a CFunEqCan from its RHS, and this use case isn't compelling enough),
we invent a new unification variable here. We thus get (as0 := a : as1).
Rewriting:

[WD] w1 :: LV (a : as1) (a -> b) ~ fmv1
[WD] w2 :: fmv1 ~ (a -> fmv2)
[WD] w3 :: LV (a : as1) b ~ fmv2

We can now reduce both CFunEqCans, using the equation for LV. We get

[WD] w2 :: (a -> LV as1 (a -> b)) ~ (a -> a -> LV as1 b)

Now we decompose (and flatten) to

[WD] w4 :: LV as1 (a -> b) ~ fmv3
[WD] w5 :: fmv3 ~ (a -> fmv1)
[WD] w6 :: LV as1 b ~ fmv4

which is exactly where we started. These goals really are insoluble, but
we would prefer not to loop. We thus need to find a way to bump the reduction
depth, so that we can detect the loop and abort.

The key observation is that we are performing a reduction. We thus wish
to bump the level when discharging a CFunEqCan. Where does this bumped
level go, though? It can't just go on the reduct, as that's a type. Instead,
it must go on any CFunEqCans produced after flattening. We thus flatten
when discharging, making sure that the level is bumped in the new
fun-eqs. The flattening happens in reduce_top_fun_eq and the level
is bumped when setting up the FlatM monad in GHC.Tc.Solver.Flatten.runFlatten.
(This bumping will happen for call sites other than this one, but that
makes sense -- any constraints emitted by the flattener are offshoots
the work item and should have a higher level. We don't have any test
cases that require the bumping in this other cases, but it's convenient
and causes no harm to bump at every flatten.)

{- Note [Top-level reductions for type functions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c.f. Note [The flattening story] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Flatten

Suppose we have a CFunEqCan  F tys ~ fmv/fsk, and a matching axiom.
Here is what we do, in four cases:

* Wanteds: general firing rule
    (work item) [W]        x : F tys ~ fmv
    instantiate axiom: ax_co : F tys ~ rhs

   Then:
      Discharge   fmv := rhs
      Discharge   x := ax_co ; sym x2
   This is *the* way that fmv's get unified; even though they are
   "untouchable".

   NB: Given Note [FunEq occurs-check principle], fmv does not appear
   in tys, and hence does not appear in the instantiated RHS.  So
   the unification can't make an infinite type.

* Wanteds: short cut firing rule
  Applies when the RHS of the axiom is another type-function application
      (work item)        [W] x : F tys ~ fmv
      instantiate axiom: ax_co : F tys ~ G rhs_tys

  It would be a waste to create yet another fmv for (G rhs_tys).
  Instead (shortCutReduction):
      - Flatten rhs_tys (cos : rhs_tys ~ rhs_xis)
      - Add G rhs_xis ~ fmv to flat cache  (note: the same old fmv)
      - New canonical wanted   [W] x2 : G rhs_xis ~ fmv  (CFunEqCan)
      - Discharge x := ax_co ; G cos ; x2

* Givens: general firing rule
      (work item)        [G] g : F tys ~ fsk
      instantiate axiom: ax_co : F tys ~ rhs

   Now add non-canonical given (since rhs is not flat)
      [G] (sym g ; ax_co) : fsk ~ rhs  (Non-canonical)

* Givens: short cut firing rule
  Applies when the RHS of the axiom is another type-function application
      (work item)        [G] g : F tys ~ fsk
      instantiate axiom: ax_co : F tys ~ G rhs_tys

  It would be a waste to create yet another fsk for (G rhs_tys).
  Instead (shortCutReduction):
     - Flatten rhs_tys: flat_cos : tys ~ flat_tys
     - Add new Canonical given
          [G] (sym (G flat_cos) ; co ; g) : G flat_tys ~ fsk   (CFunEqCan)

Note [FunEq occurs-check principle]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have spent a lot of time finding a good way to deal with
CFunEqCan constraints like
    F (fuv, a) ~ fuv
where flatten-skolem occurs on the LHS.  Now in principle we
might may progress by doing a reduction, but in practice its
hard to find examples where it is useful, and easy to find examples
where we fall into an infinite reduction loop.  A rule that works
very well is this:

  *** FunEq occurs-check principle ***

      Do not reduce a CFunEqCan
          F tys ~ fsk
      if fsk appears free in tys
      Instead we treat it as stuck.

Examples:

* #5837 has [G] a ~ TF (a,Int), with an instance
    type instance TF (a,b) = (TF a, TF b)
  This readily loops when solving givens.  But with the FunEq occurs
  check principle, it rapidly gets stuck which is fine.

* #12444 is a good example, explained in comment:2.  We have
    type instance F (Succ x) = Succ (F x)
    [W] alpha ~ Succ (F alpha)
  If we allow the reduction to happen, we get an infinite loop

Note [Cached solved FunEqs]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When trying to solve, say (FunExpensive big-type ~ ty), it's important
to see if we have reduced (FunExpensive big-type) before, lest we
simply repeat it.  Hence the lookup in inert_solved_funeqs.  Moreover
we must use `funEqCanDischarge` because both uses might (say) be Wanteds,
and we *still* want to save the re-computation.

Note [MATCHING-SYNONYMS]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When trying to match a dictionary (D tau) to a top-level instance, or a
type family equation (F taus_1 ~ tau_2) to a top-level family instance,
we do *not* need to expand type synonyms because the matcher will do that for us.

Note [Improvement orientation]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A very delicate point is the orientation of derived equalities
arising from injectivity improvement (#12522).  Suppose we have
  type family F x = t | t -> x
  type instance F (a, Int) = (Int, G a)
where G is injective; and wanted constraints

  [W] TF (alpha, beta) ~ fuv
  [W] fuv ~ (Int, <some type>)

The injectivity will give rise to derived constraints

  [D] gamma1 ~ alpha
  [D] Int ~ beta

The fresh unification variable gamma1 comes from the fact that we
can only do "partial improvement" here; see Section 5.2 of
"Injective type families for Haskell" (HS'15).

Now, it's very important to orient the equations this way round,
so that the fresh unification variable will be eliminated in
favour of alpha.  If we instead had
   [D] alpha ~ gamma1
then we would unify alpha := gamma1; and kick out the wanted
constraint.  But when we grough it back in, it'd look like
   [W] TF (gamma1, beta) ~ fuv
and exactly the same thing would happen again!  Infinite loop.

This all seems fragile, and it might seem more robust to avoid
introducing gamma1 in the first place, in the case where the
actual argument (alpha, beta) partly matches the improvement
template.  But that's a bit tricky, esp when we remember that the
kinds much match too; so it's easier to let the normal machinery
handle it.  Instead we are careful to orient the new derived
equality with the template on the left.  Delicate, but it works.

Note [No FunEq improvement for Givens]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We don't do improvements (injectivity etc) for Givens. Why?

* It generates Derived constraints on skolems, which don't do us
  much good, except perhaps identify inaccessible branches.
  (They'd be perfectly valid though.)

* For type-nat stuff the derived constraints include type families;
  e.g.  (a < b), (b < c) ==> a < c If we generate a Derived for this,
  we'll generate a Derived/Wanted CFunEqCan; and, since the same
  InertCans (after solving Givens) are used for each iteration, that
  massively confused the unflattening step (GHC.Tc.Solver.Flatten.unflatten).

  In fact it led to some infinite loops:
     indexed-types/should_compile/T10806
     indexed-types/should_compile/T10507
     polykinds/T10742

Note [Reduction for Derived CFunEqCans]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may wonder if it's important to use top-level instances to
simplify [D] CFunEqCan's.  But it is.  Here's an example (T10226).

   type instance F    Int = Int
   type instance FInv Int = Int

Suppose we have to solve
    [WD] FInv (F alpha) ~ alpha
    [WD] F alpha ~ Int

  --> flatten
    [WD] F alpha ~ fuv0
    [WD] FInv fuv0 ~ fuv1  -- (A)
    [WD] fuv1 ~ alpha
    [WD] fuv0 ~ Int        -- (B)

  --> Rewwrite (A) with (B), splitting it
    [WD] F alpha ~ fuv0
    [W] FInv fuv0 ~ fuv1
    [D] FInv Int ~ fuv1    -- (C)
    [WD] fuv1 ~ alpha
    [WD] fuv0 ~ Int

  --> Reduce (C) with top-level instance
      **** This is the key step ***
    [WD] F alpha ~ fuv0
    [W] FInv fuv0 ~ fuv1
    [D] fuv1 ~ Int        -- (D)
    [WD] fuv1 ~ alpha     -- (E)
    [WD] fuv0 ~ Int

  --> Rewrite (D) with (E)
    [WD] F alpha ~ fuv0
    [W] FInv fuv0 ~ fuv1
    [D] alpha ~ Int       -- (F)
    [WD] fuv1 ~ alpha
    [WD] fuv0 ~ Int

  --> unify (F)  alpha := Int, and that solves it

Another example is indexed-types/should_compile/T10634

{- Note [Instance and Given overlap]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example, from the OutsideIn(X) paper:
       instance P x => Q [x]
       instance (x ~ y) => R y [x]

       wob :: forall a b. (Q [b], R b a) => a -> Int

       g :: forall a. Q [a] => [a] -> Int
       g x = wob x

From 'g' we get the implication constraint:
            forall a. Q [a] => (Q [beta], R beta [a])
If we react (Q [beta]) with its top-level axiom, we end up with a
(P beta), which we have no way of discharging. On the other hand,
if we react R beta [a] with the top-level we get  (beta ~ a), which
is solvable and can help us rewrite (Q [beta]) to (Q [a]) which is
now solvable by the given Q [a].

The partial solution is that:
  In matchClassInst (and thus in topReact), we return a matching
  instance only when there is no Given in the inerts which is
  unifiable to this particular dictionary.

  We treat any meta-tyvar as "unifiable" for this purpose,
  *including* untouchable ones.  But not skolems like 'a' in
  the implication constraint above.

The end effect is that, much as we do for overlapping instances, we
delay choosing a class instance if there is a possibility of another
instance OR a given to match our constraint later on. This fixes
#4981 and #5002.

Other notes:

* The check is done *first*, so that it also covers classes
  with built-in instance solving, such as
     - constraint tuples
     - natural numbers
     - Typeable

* Flatten-skolems: we do not treat a flatten-skolem as unifiable
  for this purpose.
  E.g.   f :: Eq (F a) => [a] -> [a]
         f xs = ....(xs==xs).....
  Here we get [W] Eq [a], and we don't want to refrain from solving
  it because of the given (Eq (F a)) constraint!

* The given-overlap problem is arguably not easy to appear in practice
  due to our aggressive prioritization of equality solving over other
  constraints, but it is possible. I've added a test case in
  typecheck/should-compile/GivenOverlapping.hs

* Another "live" example is #10195; another is #10177.

* We ignore the overlap problem if -XIncoherentInstances is in force:
  see #6002 for a worked-out example where this makes a
  difference.

* Moreover notice that our goals here are different than the goals of
  the top-level overlapping checks. There we are interested in
  validating the following principle:

      If we inline a function f at a site where the same global
      instance environment is available as the instance environment at
      the definition site of f then we should get the same behaviour.

  But for the Given Overlap check our goal is just related to completeness of
  constraint solving.

* The solution is only a partial one.  Consider the above example with
       g :: forall a. Q [a] => [a] -> Int
       g x = let v = wob x
             in v
  and suppose we have -XNoMonoLocalBinds, so that we attempt to find the most
  general type for 'v'.  When generalising v's type we'll simplify its
  Q [alpha] constraint, but we don't have Q [a] in the 'givens', so we
  will use the instance declaration after all. #11948 was a case
  in point.

All of this is disgustingly delicate, so to discourage people from writing
simplifiable class givens, we warn about signatures that contain them;
see GHC.Tc.Validity Note [Simplifiable given constraints].

Note [Naturally coherent classes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few built-in classes are "naturally coherent".  This term means that
the "instance" for the class is bidirectional with its superclass(es).
For example, consider (~~), which behaves as if it was defined like
this:
  class a ~# b => a ~~ b
  instance a ~# b => a ~~ b
(See Note [The equality types story] in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim.)

Faced with [W] t1 ~~ t2, it's always OK to reduce it to [W] t1 ~# t2,
without worrying about Note [Instance and Given overlap].  Why?  Because
if we had [G] s1 ~~ s2, then we'd get the superclass [G] s1 ~# s2, and
so the reduction of the [W] constraint does not risk losing any solutions.

On the other hand, it can be fatal to /fail/ to reduce such
equalities, on the grounds of Note [Instance and Given overlap],
because many good things flow from [W] t1 ~# t2.

The same reasoning applies to

* (~~)        heqTyCon
* (~)         eqTyCon
* Coercible   coercibleTyCon

And less obviously to:

* Tuple classes.  For reasons described in GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad
  Note [Tuples hiding implicit parameters], we may have a constraint
     [W] (?x::Int, C a)
  with an exactly-matching Given constraint.  We must decompose this
  tuple and solve the components separately, otherwise we won't solve
  it at all!  It is perfectly safe to decompose it, because again the
  superclasses invert the instance;  e.g.
      class (c1, c2) => (% c1, c2 %)
      instance (c1, c2) => (% c1, c2 %)
  Example in #14218

Exammples: T5853, T10432, T5315, T9222, T2627b, T3028b

PS: the term "naturally coherent" doesn't really seem helpful.
Perhaps "invertible" or something?  I left it for now though.

Note [Local instances and incoherence]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
   f :: forall b c. (Eq b, forall a. Eq a => Eq (c a))
                 => c b -> Bool
   f x = x==x

We get [W] Eq (c b), and we must use the local instance to solve it.

BUT that wanted also unifies with the top-level Eq [a] instance,
and Eq (Maybe a) etc.  We want the local instance to "win", otherwise
we can't solve the wanted at all.  So we mark it as Incohherent.
According to Note [Rules for instance lookup] in GHC.Core.InstEnv, that'll
make it win even if there are other instances that unify.

Moreover this is not a hack!  The evidence for this local instance
will be constructed by GHC at a call site... from the very instances
that unify with it here.  It is not like an incoherent user-written
instance which might have utterly different behaviour.

Consdider  f :: Eq a => blah.  If we have [W] Eq a, we certainly
get it from the Eq a context, without worrying that there are
lots of top-level instances that unify with [W] Eq a!  We'll use
those instances to build evidence to pass to f. That's just the
nullary case of what's happening here.
