Note [Grouping of type and class declarations]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tcTyAndClassDecls is called on a list of `TyClGroup`s. Each group is a strongly
connected component of mutually dependent types and classes. We kind check and
type check each group separately to enhance kind polymorphism. Take the
following example:

  type Id a = a
  data X = X (Id Int)

If we were to kind check the two declarations together, we would give Id the
kind * -> *, since we apply it to an Int in the definition of X. But we can do
better than that, since Id really is kind polymorphic, and should get kind
forall (k::*). k -> k. Since it does not depend on anything else, it can be
kind-checked by itself, hence getting the most general kind. We then kind check
X, which works fine because we then know the polymorphic kind of Id, and simply
instantiate k to *.

Note [Check role annotations in a second pass]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Role inference potentially depends on the types of all of the datacons declared
in a mutually recursive group. The validity of a role annotation, in turn,
depends on the result of role inference. Because the types of datacons might
be ill-formed (see #7175 and Note [rejigConRes]) we must check
*all* the tycons in a group for validity before checking *any* of the roles.
Thus, we take two passes over the resulting tycons, first checking for general
validity and then checking for valid role annotations.

Note [Kind checking for type and class decls]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kind checking is done thus:

   1. Make up a kind variable for each parameter of the declarations,
      and extend the kind environment (which is in the TcLclEnv)

   2. Kind check the declarations

We need to kind check all types in the mutually recursive group
before we know the kind of the type variables.  For example:

  class C a where
     op :: D b => a -> b -> b

  class D c where
     bop :: (Monad c) => ...

Here, the kind of the locally-polymorphic type variable "b"
depends on *all the uses of class D*.  For example, the use of
Monad c in bop's type signature means that D must have kind Type->Type.

Note: we don't treat type synonyms specially (we used to, in the past);
in particular, even if we have a type synonym cycle, we still kind check
it normally, and test for cycles later (checkSynCycles).  The reason
we can get away with this is because we have more systematic TYPE r
inference, which means that we can do unification between kinds that
aren't lifted (this historically was not true.)

The downside of not directly reading off the kinds of the RHS of
type synonyms in topological order is that we don't transparently
support making synonyms of types with higher-rank kinds.  But
you can always specify a CUSK directly to make this work out.
See tc269 for an example.

Note [CUSKs and PolyKinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider

    data T (a :: *) = MkT (S a)   -- Has CUSK
    data S a = MkS (T Int) (S a)  -- No CUSK

Via inferInitialKinds we get
  T :: * -> *
  S :: kappa -> *

Then we call kcTyClDecl on each decl in the group, to constrain the
kind unification variables.  BUT we /skip/ the RHS of any decl with
a CUSK.  Here we skip the RHS of T, so we eventually get
  S :: forall k. k -> *

This gets us more polymorphism than we would otherwise get, similar
(but implemented strangely differently from) the treatment of type
signatures in value declarations.

However, we only want to do so when we have PolyKinds.
When we have NoPolyKinds, we don't skip those decls, because we have defaulting
(#16609). Skipping won't bring us more polymorphism when we have defaulting.
Consider

  data T1 a = MkT1 T2        -- No CUSK
  data T2 = MkT2 (T1 Maybe)  -- Has CUSK

If we skip the rhs of T2 during kind-checking, the kind of a remains unsolved.
With PolyKinds, we do generalization to get T1 :: forall a. a -> *. And the
program type-checks.
But with NoPolyKinds, we do defaulting to get T1 :: * -> *. Defaulting happens
in quantifyTyVars, which is called from generaliseTcTyCon. Then type-checking
(T1 Maybe) will throw a type error.

Summary: with PolyKinds, we must skip; with NoPolyKinds, we must /not/ skip.

Open type families
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This treatment of type synonyms only applies to Haskell 98-style synonyms.
General type functions can be recursive, and hence, appear in `alg_decls'.

The kind of an open type family is solely determined by its kind signature;
hence, only kind signatures participate in the construction of the initial
kind environment (as constructed by `inferInitialKind'). In fact, we ignore
instances of families altogether in the following. However, we need to include
the kinds of *associated* families into the construction of the initial kind
environment. (This is handled by `allDecls').

See also Note [Kind checking recursive type and class declarations]

Note [How TcTyCons work]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TcTyCons are used for two distinct purposes

1.  When recovering from a type error in a type declaration,
    we want to put the erroneous TyCon in the environment in a
    way that won't lead to more errors.  We use a TcTyCon for this;
    see makeRecoveryTyCon.

2.  When checking a type/class declaration (in module GHC.Tc.TyCl), we come
    upon knowledge of the eventual tycon in bits and pieces, and we use
    a TcTyCon to record what we know before we are ready to build the
    final TyCon.

    We first build a MonoTcTyCon, then generalise to a PolyTcTyCon
    See Note [TcTyCon, MonoTcTyCon, and PolyTcTyCon] in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType
    Specifically:

      S1) In kcTyClGroup, we use checkInitialKinds to get the
          utterly-final Kind of all TyCons in the group that
            (a) have a kind signature or
            (b) have a CUSK.
          This produces a PolyTcTyCon, that is, a TcTyCon in which the binders
          and result kind are full of TyVars (not TcTyVars).  No unification
          variables here; everything is in its final form.

      S2) In kcTyClGroup, we use inferInitialKinds to look over the
          declaration of any TyCon that lacks a kind signature or
          CUSK, to determine its "shape"; for example, the number of
          parameters, and any kind signatures.

          We record that shape record that shape in a MonoTcTyCon; it is
          "mono" because it has not been been generalised, and its binders
          and result kind may have free unification variables.

      S3) Still in kcTyClGroup, we use kcLTyClDecl to kind-check the
          body (class methods, data constructors, etc.) of each of
          these MonoTcTyCons, which has the effect of filling in the
          metavariables in the tycon's initial kind.

      S4) Still in kcTyClGroup, we use generaliseTyClDecl to generalize
          each MonoTcTyCon to get a PolyTcTyCon, with final TyVars in it,
          and a final, fixed kind.

      S5) Finally, back in TcTyClDecls, we extend the environment with
          the PolyTcTyCons, and typecheck each declaration (regardless
          of kind signatures etc) to get final TyCon.

    These TcTyCons are stored in the local environment in GHC.Tc.TyCl,
    until the real full TyCons can be created during desugaring. A
    desugared program should never have a TcTyCon.

3.  A MonoTcTyCon can contain unification variables, but a PolyTcTyCon
    does not: only skolem TcTyVars.

4.  tyConScopedTyVars.  A challenging piece in all of this is that we
    end up taking three separate passes over every declaration:
      - one in inferInitialKind (this pass look only at the head, not the body)
      - one in kcTyClDecls (to kind-check the body)
      - a final one in tcTyClDecls (to desugar)

    In the latter two passes, we need to connect the user-written type
    variables in an LHsQTyVars with the variables in the tycon's
    inferred kind. Because the tycon might not have a CUSK, this
    matching up is, in general, quite hard to do.  (Look through the
    git history between Dec 2015 and Apr 2016 for
    GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.splitTelescopeTvs!)

    Instead of trying, we just store the list of type variables to
    bring into scope, in the tyConScopedTyVars field of a MonoTcTyCon.
    These tyvars are brought into scope by the calls to
       tcExtendNameTyVarEnv (tcTyConScopedTyVars tycon)
    in kcTyClDecl.

    In a TcTyCon, why is tyConScopedTyVars :: [(Name,TcTyVar)] rather
    than just [TcTyVar]?  Consider these mutually-recursive decls
       data T (a :: k1) b = MkT (S a b)
       data S (c :: k2) d = MkS (T c d)
    We start with k1 bound to kappa1, and k2 to kappa2; so initially
    in the (Name,TcTyVar) pairs the Name is that of the TcTyVar. But
    then kappa1 and kappa2 get unified; so after the zonking in
    'generalise' in 'kcTyClGroup' the Name and TcTyVar may differ.

See also Note [Type checking recursive type and class declarations].

Note [Swizzling the tyvars before generaliseTcTyCon]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Note only applies when /inferring/ the kind of a TyCon.
If there is a separate kind signature, or a CUSK, we take an entirely
different code path.

For inference, consider
   class C (f :: k) x where
      type T f
      op :: D f => blah
   class D (g :: j) y where
      op :: C g => y -> blah

Here C and D are considered mutually recursive.  Neither has a CUSK.
Just before generalisation we have the (un-quantified) kinds
   C :: k1 -> k2 -> Constraint
   T :: k1 -> Type
   D :: k1 -> Type -> Constraint
Notice that f's kind and g's kind have been unified to 'k1'. We say
that k1 is the "representative" of k in C's decl, and of j in D's decl.

Now when quantifying, we'd like to end up with
   C :: forall {k2}. forall k. k -> k2 -> Constraint
   T :: forall k. k -> Type
   D :: forall j. j -> Type -> Constraint

That is, we want to swizzle the representative to have the Name given
by the user. Partly this is to improve error messages and the output of
:info in GHCi.  But it is /also/ important because the code for a
default method may mention the class variable(s), but at that point
(tcClassDecl2), we only have the final class tyvars available.
(Alternatively, we could record the scoped type variables in the
TyCon, but it's a nuisance to do so.)

Notes:

* On the input to generaliseTyClDecl, the mapping between the
  user-specified Name and the representative TyVar is recorded in the
  tyConScopedTyVars of the TcTyCon.  NB: you first need to zonk to see
  this representative TyVar.

* The swizzling is actually performed by swizzleTcTyConBndrs

* We must do the swizzling across the whole class decl. Consider
     class C f where
       type S (f :: k)
       type T f
  Here f's kind k is a parameter of C, and its identity is shared
  with S and T.  So if we swizzle the representative k at all, we
  must do so consistently for the entire declaration.

  Hence the call to check_duplicate_tc_binders is in generaliseTyClDecl,
  rather than in generaliseTcTyCon.

There are errors to catch here.  Suppose we had
   class E (f :: j) (g :: k) where
     op :: SameKind f g -> blah

Then, just before generalisation we will have the (unquantified)
   E :: k1 -> k1 -> Constraint

That's bad!  Two distinctly-named tyvars (j and k) have ended up with
the same representative k1.  So when swizzling, we check (in
check_duplicate_tc_binders) that two distinct source names map
to the same representative.

Here's an interesting case:
    class C1 f where
      type S (f :: k1)
      type T (f :: k2)
Here k1 and k2 are different Names, but they end up mapped to the
same representative TyVar.  To make the swizzling consistent (remember
we must have a single k across C1, S and T) we reject the program.

Another interesting case
    class C2 f where
      type S (f :: k) (p::Type)
      type T (f :: k) (p::Type->Type)

Here the two k's (and the two p's) get distinct Uniques, because they
are seen by the renamer as locally bound in S and T resp.  But again
the two (distinct) k's end up bound to the same representative TyVar.
You might argue that this should be accepted, but it's definitely
rejected (via an entirely different code path) if you add a kind sig:
    type C2' :: j -> Constraint
    class C2' f where
      type S (f :: k) (p::Type)
We get
    • Expected kind ‘j’, but ‘f’ has kind ‘k’
    • In the associated type family declaration for ‘S’

So we reject C2 too, even without the kind signature.  We have
to do a bit of work to get a good error message, since both k's
look the same to the user.

Another case
    class C3 (f :: k1) where
      type S (f :: k2)

This will be rejected too.


Note [Type environment evolution]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we typecheck a group of declarations the type environment evolves.
Consider for example:
  data B (a :: Type) = MkB (Proxy 'MkB)

We do the following steps:

  1. Start of tcTyClDecls: use mkPromotionErrorEnv to initialise the
     type env with promotion errors
            B   :-> TyConPE
            MkB :-> DataConPE

  2. kcTyCLGroup
      - Do inferInitialKinds, which will signal a promotion
        error if B is used in any of the kinds needed to initialise
        B's kind (e.g. (a :: Type)) here

      - Extend the type env with these initial kinds (monomorphic for
        decls that lack a CUSK)
            B :-> TcTyCon <initial kind>
        (thereby overriding the B :-> TyConPE binding)
        and do kcLTyClDecl on each decl to get equality constraints on
        all those initial kinds

      - Generalise the initial kind, making a poly-kinded TcTyCon

  3. Back in tcTyDecls, extend the envt with bindings of the poly-kinded
     TcTyCons, again overriding the promotion-error bindings.

     But note that the data constructor promotion errors are still in place
     so that (in our example) a use of MkB will still be signalled as
     an error.

  4. Typecheck the decls.

  5. In tcTyClGroup, extend the envt with bindings for TyCon and DataCons


Note [Missed opportunity to retain higher-rank kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 'kcTyClGroup', there is a missed opportunity to make kind
inference work in a few more cases.  The idea is analogous
to Note [Special case for non-recursive function bindings]:

     * If we have an SCC with a single decl, which is non-recursive,
       instead of creating a unification variable representing the
       kind of the decl and unifying it with the rhs, we can just
       read the type directly of the rhs.

     * Furthermore, we can update our SCC analysis to ignore
       dependencies on declarations which have CUSKs: we don't
       have to kind-check these all at once, since we can use
       the CUSK to initialize the kind environment.

Unfortunately this requires reworking a bit of the code in
'kcLTyClDecl' so I've decided to punt unless someone shouts about it.

Note [Don't process associated types in getInitialKind]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously, we processed associated types in the thing_inside in getInitialKind,
but this was wrong -- we want to do ATs separately.
The consequence for not doing it this way is #15142:

  class ListTuple (tuple :: Type) (as :: [(k, Type)]) where
    type ListToTuple as :: Type

We assign k a kind kappa[1]. When checking the tuple (k, Type), we try to unify
kappa ~ Type, but this gets deferred because we bumped the TcLevel as we bring
`tuple` into scope. Thus, when we check ListToTuple, kappa[1] still hasn't
unified with Type. And then, when we generalize the kind of ListToTuple (which
indeed has a CUSK, according to the rules), we skolemize the free metavariable
kappa. Note that we wouldn't skolemize kappa when generalizing the kind of ListTuple,
because the solveEqualities in kcInferDeclHeader is at TcLevel 1 and so kappa[1]
will unify with Type.

Bottom line: as associated types should have no effect on a CUSK enclosing class,
we move processing them to a separate action, run after the outer kind has
been generalized.

{- Note [Required, Specified, and Inferred for types]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each forall'd type variable in a type or kind is one of

  * Required: an argument must be provided at every call site

  * Specified: the argument can be inferred at call sites, but
    may be instantiated with visible type/kind application

  * Inferred: the argument must be inferred at call sites; it
    is unavailable for use with visible type/kind application.

Why have Inferred at all? Because we just can't make user-facing
promises about the ordering of some variables. These might swizzle
around even between minor released. By forbidding visible type
application, we ensure users aren't caught unawares.

Go read Note [VarBndrs, TyCoVarBinders, TyConBinders, and visibility] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.

The question for this Note is this:
   given a TyClDecl, how are its quantified type variables classified?
Much of the debate is memorialized in #15743.

Here is our design choice. When inferring the ordering of variables
for a TyCl declaration (that is, for those variables that the user
has not specified the order with an explicit `forall`), we use the
following order:

 1. Inferred variables
 2. Specified variables; in the left-to-right order in which
    the user wrote them, modified by scopedSort (see below)
    to put them in dependency order.
 3. Required variables before a top-level ::
 4. All variables after a top-level ::

If this ordering does not make a valid telescope, we reject the definition.

Example:
  data SameKind :: k -> k -> *
  data Bad a (c :: Proxy b) (d :: Proxy a) (x :: SameKind b d)

For Bad:
  - a, c, d, x are Required; they are explicitly listed by the user
    as the positional arguments of Bad
  - b is Specified; it appears explicitly in a kind signature
  - k, the kind of a, is Inferred; it is not mentioned explicitly at all

Putting variables in the order Inferred, Specified, Required
gives us this telescope:
  Inferred:  k
  Specified: b : Proxy a
  Required : (a : k) (c : Proxy b) (d : Proxy a) (x : SameKind b d)

But this order is ill-scoped, because b's kind mentions a, which occurs
after b in the telescope. So we reject Bad.

Associated types
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For associated types everything above is determined by the
associated-type declaration alone, ignoring the class header.
Here is an example (#15592)
  class C (a :: k) b where
    type F (x :: b a)

In the kind of C, 'k' is Specified.  But what about F?
In the kind of F,

 * Should k be Inferred or Specified?  It's Specified for C,
   but not mentioned in F's declaration.

 * In which order should the Specified variables a and b occur?
   It's clearly 'a' then 'b' in C's declaration, but the L-R ordering
   in F's declaration is 'b' then 'a'.

In both cases we make the choice by looking at F's declaration alone,
so it gets the kind
   F :: forall {k}. forall b a. b a -> Type

How it works
~~~~~~~~~~~~
These design choices are implemented by two completely different code
paths for

  * Declarations with a standalone kind signature or a complete user-specified
    kind signature (CUSK). Handled by the kcCheckDeclHeader.

  * Declarations without a kind signature (standalone or CUSK) are handled by
    kcInferDeclHeader; see Note [Inferring kinds for type declarations].

Note that neither code path worries about point (4) above, as this
is nicely handled by not mangling the res_kind. (Mangling res_kinds is done
*after* all this stuff, in tcDataDefn's call to etaExpandAlgTyCon.)

We can tell Inferred apart from Specified by looking at the scoped
tyvars; Specified are always included there.

Design alternatives
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* For associated types we considered putting the class variables
  before the local variables, in a nod to the treatment for class
  methods. But it got too complicated; see #15592, comment:21ff.

* We rigidly require the ordering above, even though we could be much more
  permissive. Relevant musings are at
  https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/15743#note_161623
  The bottom line conclusion is that, if the user wants a different ordering,
  then can specify it themselves, and it is better to be predictable and dumb
  than clever and capricious.

  I (Richard) conjecture we could be fully permissive, allowing all classes
  of variables to intermix. We would have to augment ScopedSort to refuse to
  reorder Required variables (or check that it wouldn't have). But this would
  allow more programs. See #15743 for examples. Interestingly, Idris seems
  to allow this intermixing. The intermixing would be fully specified, in that
  we can be sure that inference wouldn't change between versions. However,
  would users be able to predict it? That I cannot answer.

Note [Inferring kinds for type declarations]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This note deals with /inference/ for type declarations
that do not have a CUSK.  Consider
  data T (a :: k1) k2 (x :: k2) = MkT (S a k2 x)
  data S (b :: k3) k4 (y :: k4) = MkS (T b k4 y)

We do kind inference as follows:

* Step 1: inferInitialKinds, and in particular kcInferDeclHeader.
  Make a unification variable for each of the Required and Specified
  type variables in the header.

  Record the connection between the Names the user wrote and the
  fresh unification variables in the tcTyConScopedTyVars field
  of the TcTyCon we are making
      [ (a,  aa)
      , (k1, kk1)
      , (k2, kk2)
      , (x,  xx) ]
  (I'm using the convention that double letter like 'aa' or 'kk'
  mean a unification variable.)

  These unification variables
    - Are TyVarTvs: that is, unification variables that can
      unify only with other type variables.
      See Note [TyVarTv] in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType

    - Have complete fresh Names; see GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType
      Note [Unification variables need fresh Names]

  Assign initial monomorphic kinds to S, T
          T :: kk1 -> * -> kk2 -> *
          S :: kk3 -> * -> kk4 -> *

* Step 2: kcTyClDecl. Extend the environment with a TcTyCon for S and
  T, with these monomorphic kinds.  Now kind-check the declarations,
  and solve the resulting equalities.  The goal here is to discover
  constraints on all these unification variables.

  Here we find that kk1 := kk3, and kk2 := kk4.

  This is why we can't use skolems for kk1 etc; they have to
  unify with each other.

* Step 3: generaliseTcTyCon. Generalise each TyCon in turn.
  We find the free variables of the kind, skolemise them,
  sort them out into Inferred/Required/Specified (see the above
  Note [Required, Specified, and Inferred for types]),
  and perform some validity checks.

  This makes the utterly-final TyConBinders for the TyCon.

  All this is very similar at the level of terms: see GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind
  Note [Quantified variables in partial type signatures]

  But there are some tricky corners: Note [Tricky scoping in generaliseTcTyCon]

* Step 4.  Extend the type environment with a TcTyCon for S and T, now
  with their utterly-final polymorphic kinds (needed for recursive
  occurrences of S, T).  Now typecheck the declarations, and build the
  final AlgTyCon for S and T resp.

The first three steps are in kcTyClGroup; the fourth is in
tcTyClDecls.

There are some wrinkles

* Do not default TyVarTvs.  We always want to kind-generalise over
  TyVarTvs, and /not/ default them to Type. By definition a TyVarTv is
  not allowed to unify with a type; it must stand for a type
  variable. Hence the check in GHC.Tc.Solver.defaultTyVarTcS, and
  GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType.defaultTyVar.  Here's another example (#14555):
     data Exp :: [TYPE rep] -> TYPE rep -> Type where
        Lam :: Exp (a:xs) b -> Exp xs (a -> b)
  We want to kind-generalise over the 'rep' variable.
  #14563 is another example.

* Duplicate type variables. Consider #11203
    data SameKind :: k -> k -> *
    data Q (a :: k1) (b :: k2) c = MkQ (SameKind a b)
  Here we will unify k1 with k2, but this time doing so is an error,
  because k1 and k2 are bound in the same declaration.

  We spot this during validity checking (checkForDuplicateScopeTyVars),
  in generaliseTcTyCon.

* Required arguments.  Even the Required arguments should be made
  into TyVarTvs, not skolems.  Consider
    data T k (a :: k)
  Here, k is a Required, dependent variable. For uniformity, it is helpful
  to have k be a TyVarTv, in parallel with other dependent variables.

* Duplicate skolemisation is expected.  When generalising in Step 3,
  we may find that one of the variables we want to quantify has
  already been skolemised.  For example, suppose we have already
  generalise S. When we come to T we'll find that kk1 (now the same as
  kk3) has already been skolemised.

  That's fine -- but it means that
    a) when collecting quantification candidates, in
       candidateQTyVarsOfKind, we must collect skolems
    b) quantifyTyVars should be a no-op on such a skolem

Note [Tricky scoping in generaliseTcTyCon]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider #16342
  class C (a::ka) x where
    cop :: D a x => x -> Proxy a -> Proxy a
    cop _ x = x :: Proxy (a::ka)

  class D (b::kb) y where
    dop :: C b y => y -> Proxy b -> Proxy b
    dop _ x = x :: Proxy (b::kb)

C and D are mutually recursive, by the time we get to
generaliseTcTyCon we'll have unified kka := kkb.

But when typechecking the default declarations for 'cop' and 'dop' in
tcDlassDecl2 we need {a, ka} and {b, kb} respectively to be in scope.
But at that point all we have is the utterly-final Class itself.

Conclusion: the classTyVars of a class must have the same Name as
that originally assigned by the user.  In our example, C must have
classTyVars {a, ka, x} while D has classTyVars {a, kb, y}.  Despite
the fact that kka and kkb got unified!

We achieve this sleight of hand in generaliseTcTyCon, using
the specialised function zonkRecTyVarBndrs.  We make the call
   zonkRecTyVarBndrs [ka,a,x] [kkb,aa,xxx]
where the [ka,a,x] are the Names originally assigned by the user, and
[kkb,aa,xx] are the corresponding (post-zonking, skolemised) TcTyVars.
zonkRecTyVarBndrs builds a recursive ZonkEnv that binds
   kkb :-> (ka :: <zonked kind of kkb>)
   aa  :-> (a  :: <konked kind of aa>)
   etc
That is, it maps each skolemised TcTyVars to the utterly-final
TyVar to put in the class, with its correct user-specified name.
When generalising D we'll do the same thing, but the ZonkEnv will map
   kkb :-> (kb :: <zonked kind of kkb>)
   bb  :-> (b  :: <konked kind of bb>)
   etc
Note that 'kkb' again appears in the domain of the mapping, but this
time mapped to 'kb'.  That's how C and D end up with differently-named
final TyVars despite the fact that we unified kka:=kkb

zonkRecTyVarBndrs we need to do knot-tying because of the need to
apply this same substitution to the kind of each.

Note [Inferring visible dependent quantification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider

  data T k :: k -> Type where
    MkT1 :: T Type Int
    MkT2 :: T (Type -> Type) Maybe

This looks like it should work. However, it is polymorphically recursive,
as the uses of T in the constructor types specialize the k in the kind
of T. This trips up our dear users (#17131, #17541), and so we add
a "landmark" context (which cannot be suppressed) whenever we
spot inferred visible dependent quantification (VDQ).

It's hard to know when we've actually been tripped up by polymorphic recursion
specifically, so we just include a note to users whenever we infer VDQ. The
testsuite did not show up a single spurious inclusion of this message.

The context is added in addVDQNote, which looks for a visible TyConBinder
that also appears in the TyCon's kind. (I first looked at the kind for
a visible, dependent quantifier, but Note [No polymorphic recursion] in
GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType defeats that approach.) addVDQNote is used in kcTyClDecl,
which is used only when inferring the kind of a tycon (never with a CUSK or
SAK).

Once upon a time, I (Richard E) thought that the tycon-kind could
not be a forall-type. But this is wrong: data T :: forall k. k -> Type
(with -XNoCUSKs) could end up here. And this is all OK.

If associated types had standalone kind signatures, would they wear them

  type T :: Type -> Type   |   class C a where
  class C a where          |     type T :: Type -> Type
    type T a               |     type T a

The (IN) variant is syntactically ambiguous:

  class C a where
    type T :: a   -- standalone kind signature?
    type T :: a   -- declaration header?

The (OUT) variant does not suffer from this issue, but it might not be the
direction in which we want to take Haskell: we seek to unify type families and
functions, and, by extension, associated types with class methods. And yet we
give class methods their signatures inside the class, not outside. Neither do
we have the counterpart of InstanceSigs for StandaloneKindSignatures.

For now, we dodge the question by using CUSKs for associated types instead of
standalone kind signatures. This is a simple addition to the rule we used to
have before standalone kind signatures:

  old rule:  associated type has a CUSK iff its parent class has a CUSK
  new rule:  associated type has a CUSK iff its parent class has a CUSK or a standalone kind signature

D1 and D2 are considered equivalent:

  data D2 :: Type where ...

The consequence of this assumption is that we reject D3 even though we
accept D4:

  data D3 where
    MkD3 :: ... -> D3 param

  data D4 :: Type -> Type where
    MkD4 :: ... -> D4 param

However, there are two twists:

  * For unlifted newtypes, we must relax the assumed result kind to (TYPE r):

      newtype D5 where
        MkD5 :: Int# -> D5

    See Note [Implementation of UnliftedNewtypes], STEP 1 and it's sub-note
    <Error Messages>.

  * For unlifted datatypes, we must relax the assumed result kind to
    (TYPE (BoxedRep l)) in the presence of a SAKS:

      type D6 :: Type -> TYPE (BoxedRep Unlifted)
      data D6 a = MkD6 a

{- Note [kcConDecls: kind-checking data type decls]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kcConDecls is used when we are inferring the kind of the type
constructor in a data type declaration.  E.g.
    data T f a = MkT (f a)
we want to infer the kind of 'f' and 'a'. The basic plan is described
in Note [Inferring kinds for type declarations]; here we are doing Step 2.

In the GADT case we may have this:
   data T f a where
      MkT :: forall g b. g b -> T g b

Notice that the variables f,a, and g,b are quite distinct.
Nevertheless, the type signature for MkT must still influence the kind
T which is (remember Step 1) something like
  T :: kappa1 -> kappa2 -> Type
Otherwise we'd infer the bogus kind
  T :: forall k1 k2. k1 -> k2 -> Type.

The type signature for MkT influences the kind of T simply by
kind-checking the result type (T g b), which will force 'f' and 'g' to
have the same kinds. This is the call to
    tcCheckLHsType res_ty (TheKind con_res_kind)
Because this is the result type of an arrow, we know the kind must be
of form (TYPE rr), and we get better error messages if we enforce that
here (e.g. test gadt10).

For unlifted newtypes only, we must ensure that the argument kind
and result kind are the same:
* In the H98 case, we need the result kind of the TyCon, to unify with
  the argument kind.

* In GADT syntax, this unification happens via the result kind passed
  to kcConGADTArgs. The tycon's result kind is not used at all in the
  GADT case.

Note [Using TyVarTvs for kind-checking GADTs]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider

  data Proxy a where
    MkProxy1 :: forall k (b :: k). Proxy b
    MkProxy2 :: forall j (c :: j). Proxy c

It seems reasonable that this should be accepted. But something very strange
is going on here: when we're kind-checking this declaration, we need to unify
the kind of `a` with k and j -- even though k and j's scopes are local to the type of
MkProxy{1,2}.

In effect, we are simply gathering constraints on the shape of Proxy's
kind, with no skolemisation or implication constraints involved at all.

The best approach we've come up with is to use TyVarTvs during the
kind-checking pass, rather than ordinary skolems. This is why we use
the "_Tv" variant, bindOuterSigTKBndrs_Tv.

Our only goal is to gather constraints on the kind of the type constructor;
we do not certify that the data declaration is well-kinded. For example:

  data SameKind :: k -> k -> Type
  data Bad a where
    MkBad :: forall k1 k2 (a :: k1) (b :: k2). Bad (SameKind a b)

which would be accepted by kcConDecl because k1 and k2 are
TyVarTvs. It is correctly rejected in the second pass, tcConDecl.
(Test case: polykinds/TyVarTvKinds3)

One drawback of this approach is sometimes it will accept a definition that
a (hypothetical) declarative specification would likely reject. As a general
rule, we don't want to allow polymorphic recursion without a CUSK. Indeed,
the whole point of CUSKs is to allow polymorphic recursion. Yet, the TyVarTvs
approach allows a limited form of polymorphic recursion *without* a CUSK.

To wit:
  data T a = forall k (b :: k). MkT (T b) Int
  (test case: dependent/should_compile/T14066a)

Note that this is polymorphically recursive, with the recursive occurrence
of T used at a kind other than a's kind. The approach outlined here accepts
this definition, because this kind is still a kind variable (and so the
TyVarTvs unify). Stepping back, I (Richard) have a hard time envisioning a
way to describe exactly what declarations will be accepted and which will
be rejected (without a CUSK). However, the accepted definitions are indeed
well-kinded and any rejected definitions would be accepted with a CUSK,
and so this wrinkle need not cause anyone to lose sleep.

Note [Recursion and promoting data constructors]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We don't want to allow promotion in a strongly connected component
when kind checking.

Consider:
  data T f = K (f (K Any))

When kind checking the `data T' declaration the local env contains the
mappings:
  T -> ATcTyCon <some initial kind>
  K -> APromotionErr

APromotionErr is only used for DataCons, and only used during type checking
in tcTyClGroup.

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

Note [Type checking recursive type and class declarations]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this point we have completed *kind-checking* of a mutually
recursive group of type/class decls (done in kcTyClGroup). However,
we discarded the kind-checked types (eg RHSs of data type decls);
note that kcTyClDecl returns ().  There are two reasons:

  * It's convenient, because we don't have to rebuild a
    kinded HsDecl (a fairly elaborate type)

  * It's necessary, because after kind-generalisation, the
    TyCons/Classes may now be kind-polymorphic, and hence need
    to be given kind arguments.

Example:
       data T f a = MkT (f a) (T f a)
During kind-checking, we give T the kind T :: k1 -> k2 -> *
and figure out constraints on k1, k2 etc. Then we generalise
to get   T :: forall k. (k->*) -> k -> *
So now the (T f a) in the RHS must be elaborated to (T k f a).

However, during tcTyClDecl of T (above) we will be in a recursive
"knot". So we aren't allowed to look at the TyCon T itself; we are only
allowed to put it (lazily) in the returned structures.  But when
kind-checking the RHS of T's decl, we *do* need to know T's kind (so
that we can correctly elaborate (T k f a).  How can we get T's kind
without looking at T?  Delicate answer: during tcTyClDecl, we extend

  *Global* env with T -> ATyCon (the (not yet built) final TyCon for T)
  *Local*  env with T -> ATcTyCon (TcTyCon with the polymorphic kind of T)

Then:

  * During GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.tcTyVar we look in the *local* env, to get the
    fully-known, not knot-tied TcTyCon for T.

  * Then, in GHC.Tc.Utils.Zonk.zonkTcTypeToType (and zonkTcTyCon in particular)
    we look in the *global* env to get the TyCon.

This fancy footwork (with two bindings for T) is only necessary for the
TyCons or Classes of this recursive group.  Earlier, finished groups,
live in the global env only.

See also Note [Kind checking recursive type and class declarations]

Note [Kind checking recursive type and class declarations]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before we can type-check the decls, we must kind check them. This
is done by establishing an "initial kind", which is a rather uninformed
guess at a tycon's kind (by counting arguments, mainly) and then
using this initial kind for recursive occurrences.

The initial kind is stored in exactly the same way during
kind-checking as it is during type-checking (Note [Type checking
recursive type and class declarations]): in the *local* environment,
with ATcTyCon. But we still must store *something* in the *global*
environment. Even though we discard the result of kind-checking, we
sometimes need to produce error messages. These error messages will
want to refer to the tycons being checked, except that they don't
exist yet, and it would be Terribly Annoying to get the error messages
to refer back to HsSyn. So we create a TcTyCon and put it in the
global env. This tycon can print out its name and knows its kind, but
any other action taken on it will panic. Note that TcTyCons are *not*
knot-tied, unlike the rather valid but knot-tied ones that occur
during type-checking.

Note [Declarations for wired-in things]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For wired-in things we simply ignore the declaration
and take the wired-in information.  That avoids complications.
e.g. the need to make the data constructor worker name for
     a constraint tuple match the wired-in one

Note [Datatype return kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several poorly lit corners around datatype/newtype return kinds.
This Note explains these.  We cover data/newtype families and instances
in Note [Data family/instance return kinds].

data    T a :: <kind> where ...   -- See Point DT4
newtype T a :: <kind> where ...   -- See Point DT5

DT1 Where this applies: Only GADT syntax for data/newtype/instance declarations
    can have declared return kinds. This Note does not apply to Haskell98
    syntax.

DT2 Where these kinds come from: The return kind is part of the TyCon kind, gotten either
     by checkInitialKind (standalone kind signature / CUSK) or
     inferInitialKind. It is extracted by bindTyClTyVars in tcTyClDecl1. It is
     then passed to tcDataDefn.

DT3 Eta-expansion: Any forall-bound variables and function arguments in a result kind
    become parameters to the type. That is, when we say

     data T a :: Type -> Type where ...

    we really mean for T to have two parameters. The second parameter
    is produced by processing the return kind in etaExpandAlgTyCon,
    called in tcDataDefn.

    See also Note [splitTyConKind] in GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.

DT4 Datatype return kind restriction: A data type return kind must end
    in a type that, after type-synonym expansion, yields `TYPE LiftedRep`. By
    "end in", we mean we strip any foralls and function arguments off before
    checking.

    Examples:
      data T1 :: Type                          -- good
      data T2 :: Bool -> Type                  -- good
      data T3 :: Bool -> forall k. Type        -- strange, but still accepted
      data T4 :: forall k. k -> Type           -- good
      data T5 :: Bool                          -- bad
      data T6 :: Type -> Bool                  -- bad

    Exactly the same applies to data instance (but not data family)
    declarations.  Examples
      data instance D1 :: Type                 -- good
      data instance D2 :: Bool -> Type         -- good

    We can "look through" type synonyms
      type Star = Type
      data T7 :: Bool -> Star                  -- good (synonym expansion ok)
      type Arrow = (->)
      data T8 :: Arrow Bool Type               -- good (ditto)

    But we specifically do *not* do type family reduction here.
      type family ARROW where
        ARROW = (->)
      data T9 :: ARROW Bool Type               -- bad

      type family F a where
        F Int  = Bool
        F Bool = Type
      data T10 :: Bool -> F Bool               -- bad

    The /principle/ here is that in the TyCon for a data type or data instance,
    we must be able to lay out all the type-variable binders, one by one, until
    we reach (TYPE xx).  There is no place for a cast here.  We could add one,
    but let's not!

    This check is done in checkDataKindSig. For data declarations, this
    call is in tcDataDefn; for data instances, this call is in tcDataFamInstDecl.

DT5 Newtype return kind restriction.
    If -XUnliftedNewtypes is not on, then newtypes are treated just
    like datatypes --- see (4) above.

    If -XUnliftedNewtypes is on, then a newtype return kind must end in
    TYPE xyz, for some xyz (after type synonym expansion). The "xyz"
    may include type families, but the TYPE part must be visible
    /without/ expanding type families (only synonyms).

    This kind is unified with the kind of the representation type (the
    type of the one argument to the one constructor). See also steps
    (2) and (3) of Note [Implementation of UnliftedNewtypes].

    The checks are done in the same places as for datatypes.
    Examples (assume -XUnliftedNewtypes):

      newtype N1 :: Type                       -- good
      newtype N2 :: Bool -> Type               -- good
      newtype N3 :: forall r. Bool -> TYPE r   -- good

      type family F (t :: Type) :: RuntimeRep
      newtype N4 :: forall t -> TYPE (F t)     -- good

      type family STAR where
        STAR = Type
      newtype N5 :: Bool -> STAR               -- bad

Note [Data family/instance return kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Within this note, understand "instance" to mean data or newtype
instance, and understand "family" to mean data family. No type
families or classes here. Some examples:

data family T a :: <kind>          -- See Point DF56

data    instance T [a] :: <kind> where ...   -- See Point DF2
newtype instance T [a] :: <kind> where ...   -- See Point DF2

Here is the Plan for Data Families:

DF0 Where these kinds come from:

    Families: The return kind is either written in a standalone signature
     or extracted from a family declaration in getInitialKind.
     If a family declaration is missing a result kind, it is assumed to be
     Type. This assumption is in getInitialKind for CUSKs or
     get_fam_decl_initial_kind for non-signature & non-CUSK cases.

   Instances: The data family already has a known kind. The return kind
     of an instance is then calculated by applying the data family tycon
     to the patterns provided, as computed by the typeKind lhs_ty in the
     end of tcDataFamInstHeader. In the case of an instance written in GADT
     syntax, there are potentially *two* return kinds: the one computed from
     applying the data family tycon to the patterns, and the one given by
     the user. This second kind is checked by the tc_kind_sig function within
     tcDataFamInstHeader. See also DF3, below.

DF1 In a data/newtype instance, we treat the kind of the /data family/,
    once instantiated, as the "master kind" for the representation
    TyCon.  For example:
        data family T1 :: Type -> Type -> Type
        data instance T1 Int :: F Bool -> Type where ...
    The "master kind" for the representation TyCon R:T1Int comes
    from T1, not from the signature on the data instance.  It is as
    if we declared
        data R:T1Int :: Type -> Type where ...
     See Note [Liberalising data family return kinds] for an alternative
     plan.  But this current plan is simple, and ensures that all instances
     are simple instantiations of the master, without strange casts.

     An example with non-trivial instantiation:
        data family T2 :: forall k. Type -> k
        data instance T2 :: Type -> Type -> Type where ...
     Here 'k' gets instantiated with (Type -> Type), driven by
     the signature on the 'data instance'. (See also DT3 of
     Note [Datatype return kinds] about eta-expansion, which applies here,
     too; see tcDataFamInstDecl's call of etaExpandAlgTyCon.)

     A newtype example:

       data Color = Red | Blue
       type family Interpret (x :: Color) :: RuntimeRep where
         Interpret 'Red = 'IntRep
         Interpret 'Blue = 'WordRep
       data family Foo (x :: Color) :: TYPE (Interpret x)
       newtype instance Foo 'Red :: TYPE IntRep where
         FooRedC :: Int# -> Foo 'Red

    Here we get that Foo 'Red :: TYPE (Interpret Red), and our
    representation newtype looks like
         newtype R:FooRed :: TYPE (Interpret Red) where
            FooRedC :: Int# -> R:FooRed
    Remember: the master kind comes from the /family/ tycon.

DF2 /After/ this instantiation, the return kind of the master kind
    must obey the usual rules for data/newtype return kinds (DT4, DT5)
    of Note [Datatype return kinds].  Examples:
        data family T3 k :: k
        data instance T3 Type where ...          -- OK
        data instance T3 (Type->Type) where ...  -- OK
        data instance T3 (F Int) where ...       -- Not OK

DF3 Any kind signatures on the data/newtype instance are checked for
    equality with the master kind (and hence may guide instantiation)
    but are otherwise ignored. So in the T1 example above, we check
    that (F Int ~ Type) by unification; but otherwise ignore the
    user-supplied signature from the /family/ not the /instance/.

    We must be sure to instantiate any trailing invisible binders
    before doing this unification.  See the call to tcInstInvisibleBinders
    in tcDataFamInstHeader. For example:
       data family D :: forall k. k
       data instance D :: Type               -- forall k. k   <:  Type
       data instance D :: Type -> Type       -- forall k. k   <:  Type -> Type
         -- NB: these do not overlap
    we must instantiate D before unifying with the signature in the
    data instance declaration

DF4 We also (redundantly) check that any user-specified return kind
    signature in the data instance also obeys DT4/DT5.  For example we
    reject
        data family T1 :: Type -> Type -> Type
        data instance T1 Int :: Type -> F Int
    even if (F Int ~ Type).  We could omit this check, because we
    use the master kind; but it seems more uniform to check it, again
    with checkDataKindSig.

DF5 Data /family/ return kind restrictions. Consider
       data family D8 a :: F a
    where F is a type family.  No data/newtype instance can instantiate
    this so that it obeys the rules of DT4 or DT5.  So GHC proactively
    rejects the data /family/ declaration if it can never satisfy (DT4)/(DT5).
    Remember that a data family supports both data and newtype instances.

    More precisely, the return kind of a data family must be either
        * TYPE xyz (for some type xyz) or
        * a kind variable
    Only in these cases can a data/newtype instance possibly satisfy (DT4)/(DT5).
    This is checked by the call to checkDataKindSig in tcFamDecl1.  Examples:

      data family D1 :: Type              -- good
      data family D2 :: Bool -> Type      -- good
      data family D3 k :: k               -- good
      data family D4 :: forall k -> k     -- good
      data family D5 :: forall k. k -> k  -- good
      data family D6 :: forall r. TYPE r  -- good
      data family D7 :: Bool -> STAR      -- bad (see STAR from point 5)

DF6 Two return kinds for instances: If an instance has two return kinds,
    one from the family declaration and one from the instance declaration
    (see point DF3 above), they are unified. More accurately, we make sure
    that the kind of the applied data family is a subkind of the user-written
    kind. GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.checkExpectedKind normally does this check for types, but
    that's overkill for our needs here. Instead, we just instantiate any
    invisible binders in the (instantiated) kind of the data family
    (called lhs_kind in tcDataFamInstHeader) with tcInstInvisibleTyBinders
    and then unify the resulting kind with the kind written by the user.
    This unification naturally produces a coercion, which we can drop, as
    the kind annotation on the instance is redundant (except perhaps for
    effects of unification).

    This all is Wrinkle (3) in Note [Implementation of UnliftedNewtypes].

Note [Liberalising data family return kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Could we allow this?
   type family F a where { F Int = Type }
   data family T a :: F a
   data instance T Int where
      MkT :: T Int

In the 'data instance', T Int :: F Int, and F Int = Type, so all seems
well.  But there are lots of complications:

* The representation constructor R:TInt presumably has kind Type.
  So the axiom connecting the two would have to look like
       axTInt :: T Int ~ R:TInt |> sym axFInt
  and that doesn't match expectation in DataFamInstTyCon
  in AlgTyConFlav

* The wrapper can't have type
     $WMkT :: Int -> T Int
  because T Int has the wrong kind.  It would have to be
     $WMkT :: Int -> (T Int) |> axFInt

* The code for $WMkT would also be more complicated, needing
  two coherence coercions. Try it!

* Code for pattern matching would be complicated in an
  exactly dual way.

So yes, we could allow this, but we currently do not. That's
why we have DF2 in Note [Data family/instance return kinds].

Note [Implementation of UnliftedNewtypes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Expected behavior of UnliftedNewtypes:

* Proposal: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0013-unlifted-newtypes.rst
* Discussion: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/98

What follows is a high-level overview of the implementation of the
proposal.

STEP 1: Getting the initial kind, as done by inferInitialKind. We have
two sub-cases:

* With a SAK/CUSK: no change in kind-checking; the tycon is given the kind
  the user writes, whatever it may be.

* Without a SAK/CUSK: If there is no kind signature, the tycon is given
  a kind `TYPE r`, for a fresh unification variable `r`. We do this even
  when -XUnliftedNewtypes is not on; see <Error Messages>, below.

STEP 2: Kind-checking, as done by kcTyClDecl. This step is skipped for CUSKs.
The key function here is kcConDecl, which looks at an individual constructor
declaration. When we are processing a newtype (but whether or not -XUnliftedNewtypes
is enabled; see <Error Messages>, below), we generate a correct ContextKind
for the checking argument types: see getArgExpKind.

Examples of newtypes affected by STEP 2, assuming -XUnliftedNewtypes is
enabled (we use r0 to denote a unification variable):

newtype Foo rep = MkFoo (forall (a :: TYPE rep). a)
+ kcConDecl unifies (TYPE r0) with (TYPE rep), where (TYPE r0)
  is the kind that inferInitialKind invented for (Foo rep).

data Color = Red | Blue
type family Interpret (x :: Color) :: RuntimeRep where
  Interpret 'Red = 'IntRep
  Interpret 'Blue = 'WordRep
data family Foo (x :: Color) :: TYPE (Interpret x)
newtype instance Foo 'Red = FooRedC Int#
+ kcConDecl unifies TYPE (Interpret 'Red) with TYPE 'IntRep

Note that, in the GADT case, we might have a kind signature with arrows
(newtype XYZ a b :: Type -> Type where ...). We want only the final
component of the kind for checking in kcConDecl, so we call etaExpanAlgTyCon
in kcTyClDecl.

STEP 3: Type-checking (desugaring), as done by tcTyClDecl. The key function
here is tcConDecl. Once again, we must use getArgExpKind to ensure that the
representation type's kind matches that of the newtype, for two reasons:

  A. It is possible that a GADT has a CUSK. (Note that this is *not*
     possible for H98 types.) Recall that CUSK types don't go through
     kcTyClDecl, so we might not have done this kind check.
  B. We need to produce the coercion to put on the argument type
     if the kinds are different (for both H98 and GADT).

Example of (B):

type family F a where
  F Int = LiftedRep

newtype N :: TYPE (F Int) where
  MkN :: Int -> N

We really need to have the argument to MkN be (Int |> TYPE (sym axF)), where
axF :: F Int ~ LiftedRep. That way, the argument kind is the same as the
newtype kind, which is the principal correctness condition for newtypes.

Wrinkle: Consider (#17021, typecheck/should_fail/T17021)

    type family Id (x :: a) :: a where
      Id x = x

    newtype T :: TYPE (Id LiftedRep) where
      MkT :: Int -> T

  In the type of MkT, we must end with (Int |> TYPE (sym axId)) -> T,
  never Int -> (T |> TYPE axId); otherwise, the result type of the
  constructor wouldn't match the datatype. However, type-checking the
  HsType T might reasonably result in (T |> hole). We thus must ensure
  that this cast is dropped, forcing the type-checker to add one to
  the Int instead.

  Why is it always safe to drop the cast? This result type is type-checked by
  tcHsOpenType, so its kind definitely looks like TYPE r, for some r. It is
  important that even after dropping the cast, the type's kind has the form
  TYPE r. This is guaranteed by restrictions on the kinds of datatypes.
  For example, a declaration like `newtype T :: Id Type` is rejected: a
  newtype's final kind always has the form TYPE r, just as we want.

Note that this is possible in the H98 case only for a data family, because
the H98 syntax doesn't permit a kind signature on the newtype itself.

There are also some changes for dealing with families:

1. In tcFamDecl1, we suppress a tcIsLiftedTypeKind check if
   UnliftedNewtypes is on. This allows us to write things like:
     data family Foo :: TYPE 'IntRep

2. In a newtype instance (with -XUnliftedNewtypes), if the user does
   not write a kind signature, we want to allow the possibility that
   the kind is not Type, so we use newOpenTypeKind instead of liftedTypeKind.
   This is done in tcDataFamInstHeader in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance. Example:

       data family Bar (a :: RuntimeRep) :: TYPE a
       newtype instance Bar 'IntRep = BarIntC Int#
       newtype instance Bar 'WordRep :: TYPE 'WordRep where
         BarWordC :: Word# -> Bar 'WordRep

   The data instance corresponding to IntRep does not specify a kind signature,
   so tc_kind_sig just returns `TYPE r0` (where `r0` is a fresh metavariable).
   The data instance corresponding to WordRep does have a kind signature, so
   we use that kind signature.

3. A data family and its newtype instance may be declared with slightly
   different kinds. See point DF6 in Note [Data family/instance return kinds]

There's also a change in the renamer:

* In GHC.RenameSource.rnTyClDecl, enabling UnliftedNewtypes changes what is means
  for a newtype to have a CUSK. This is necessary since UnliftedNewtypes
  means that, for newtypes without kind signatures, we must use the field
  inside the data constructor to determine the result kind.
  See Note [Unlifted Newtypes and CUSKs] for more detail.

For completeness, it was also necessary to make coerce work on
unlifted types, resolving #13595.

<Error Messages>: It's tempting to think that the expected kind for a newtype
constructor argument when -XUnliftedNewtypes is *not* enabled should just be Type.
But this leads to difficulty in suggesting to enable UnliftedNewtypes. Here is
an example:

  newtype A = MkA Int#

If we expect the argument to MkA to have kind Type, then we get a kind-mismatch
error. The problem is that there is no way to connect this mismatch error to
-XUnliftedNewtypes, and suggest enabling the extension. So, instead, we allow
the A to type-check, but then find the problem when doing validity checking (and
where we get make a suitable error message). One potential worry is

  {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-}
  newtype B a = MkB a

This turns out OK, because unconstrained RuntimeReps default to LiftedRep, just
as we would like. Another potential problem comes in a case like

  -- no UnliftedNewtypes

  data family D :: k
  newtype instance D = MkD Any

Here, we want inference to tell us that k should be instantiated to Type in
the instance. With the approach described here (checking for Type only in
the validity checker), that will not happen. But I cannot think of a non-contrived
example that will notice this lack of inference, so it seems better to improve
error messages than be able to infer this instantiation.

Note [Implementation of UnliftedDatatypes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Expected behavior of UnliftedDatatypes:

* Proposal: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0265-unlifted-datatypes.rst
* Discussion: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/265

The implementation heavily leans on Note [Implementation of UnliftedNewtypes].

In the frontend, the following tweaks have been made in the typechecker:

* STEP 1: In the inferInitialKinds phase, newExpectedKind gives data type
  constructors a result kind of `TYPE r` with a fresh unification variable
  `r :: RuntimeRep` when there is a SAKS. (Same as for UnliftedNewtypes.)
  Not needed with a CUSK, because it can't specify result kinds.
  If there's a GADTSyntax result kind signature, we keep on using that kind.

  Similarly, for data instances without a kind signature, we use
  `TYPE r` as the result kind, to support the following code:

    data family F a :: UnliftedType
    data instance F Int = TInt

  The omission of a kind signature for `F` should not mean a result kind
  of `Type` (and thus a kind error) here.

* STEP 2: No change to kcTyClDecl.

* STEP 3: In GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.checkDataKindSig, we make sure that the result
  kind of the data declaration is actually `Type` or `TYPE (BoxedRep l)`,
  for some `l`. If UnliftedDatatypes is not activated, we emit an error with a
  suggestion in the latter case.

  Why not start out with `TYPE (BoxedRep l)` in the first place? Because then
  we get worse kind error messages in e.g. saks_fail010:

     -     Couldn't match expected kind: TYPE ('GHC.Types.BoxedRep t0)
     -                  with actual kind: * -> *
     +     Expected a type, but found something with kind ‘* -> *’
           In the data type declaration for ‘T’

  It seems `TYPE r` already has appropriate pretty-printing support.

The changes to Core, STG and Cmm are of rather cosmetic nature.
The IRs are already well-equipped to handle unlifted types, and unlifted
datatypes are just a new sub-class thereof.

{- Note [Type-checking default assoc decls]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this default declaration for an associated type

   class C a where
      type F (a :: k) b :: Type
      type F (x :: j) y = Proxy x -> y

Note that the class variable 'a' doesn't scope over the default assoc
decl, nor do the type variables `k` and `b`. Instead, the default decl is
treated more like a top-level type instance. However, we store the default rhs
(Proxy x -> y) in F's TyCon, using F's own type variables, so we need to
convert it to (Proxy a -> b). We do this in the tcDefaultAssocDecl function by
creating a substitution [j |-> k, x |-> a, b |-> y] and applying this
substitution to the RHS.

In order to create this substitution, we must first ensure that all of
the arguments in the default instance consist of distinct type variables.
Checking for this property proves surprisingly tricky. Three potential places
where GHC could check for this property include:

1. Before typechecking (in the parser or renamer)
2. During typechecking (in tcDefaultAssocDecl)
3. After typechecking (using GHC.Tc.Validity)

Currently, GHC picks option (3) and implements this check using
GHC.Tc.Validity.checkValidAssocTyFamDeflt. GHC previously used options (1) and
(2), but neither option quite worked out for reasons that we will explain
shortly.

The first thing that checkValidAssocTyFamDeflt does is check that all arguments
in an associated type family default are type variables. As a motivating
example, consider this erroneous program (inspired by #11361):

   class C a where
      type F (a :: k) b :: Type
      type F x        b = x

If you squint, you'll notice that the kind of `x` is actually Type. However,
we cannot substitute from [Type |-> k], so we reject this default. This also
explains why GHC no longer implements option (1) above, since figuring out that
`x`'s kind is Type would be much more difficult without the knowledge that the
typechecker provides.

Next, checkValidAssocTyFamDeflt checks that all arguments are distinct. Here is
another offending example, this time taken from #13971:

   class C2 (a :: j) where
      type F2 (a :: j) (b :: k)
      type F2 (x :: z) y = SameKind x y
   data SameKind :: k -> k -> Type

All of the arguments in the default equation for `F2` are type variables, so
that passes the first check. However, if we were to build this substitution,
then both `j` and `k` map to `z`! In terms of visible kind application, it's as
if we had written `type F2 @z @z x y = SameKind @z x y`, which makes it clear
that we have duplicated a use of `z` on the LHS. Therefore, `F2`'s default is
also rejected.

There is one more design consideration in play here: what error message should
checkValidAssocTyFamDeflt produce if one of its checks fails? Ideally, it would
be something like this:

  Illegal duplicate variable ‘z’ in:
    ‘type F2 @z @z x y = ...’
    The arguments to ‘F2’ must all be distinct type variables

This requires printing out the arguments to the associated type family. This
can be dangerous, however. Consider this example, adapted from #18648:

  class C3 a where
     type F3 a
     type F3 (F3 a) = a

F3's default is illegal, since its argument is not a bare type variable. But
note that when we typecheck F3's default, the F3 type constructor is knot-tied.
Therefore, if we print the type `F3 a` in an error message, GHC will diverge!
This is the reason why GHC no longer implements option (2) above and instead
waits until /after/ typechecking has finished, at which point the typechecker
knot has been worked out.

As one final point, one might worry that the typechecker knot could cause the
substitution that tcDefaultAssocDecl creates to diverge, but this is not the
case. Since the LHS of a valid associated type family default is always just
variables, it won't contain any tycons. Accordingly, the patterns used in the
substitution won't actually be knot-tied, even though we're in the knot. (This
is too delicate for my taste, but it works.) If we're dealing with /invalid/
default, such as F3's above, then we simply create an empty substitution and
rely on checkValidAssocTyFamDeflt throwing an error message afterwards before
any damage is done.

{- Note [Instantiating a family tycon]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's possible that kind-checking the result of a family tycon applied to
its patterns will instantiate the tycon further. For example, we might
have

  type family F :: k where
    F = Int
    F = Maybe

After checking (F :: forall k. k) (with no visible patterns), we still need
to instantiate the k. With data family instances, this problem can be even
more intricate, due to Note [Arity of data families] in GHC.Core.FamInstEnv. See
indexed-types/should_compile/T12369 for an example.

So, the kind-checker must return the new skolems and args (that is, Type
or (Type -> Type) for the equations above) and the instantiated kind.

Note [Generalising in tcTyFamInstEqnGuts]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have something like
  type instance forall (a::k) b. F (Proxy t1) _ = rhs

Then  imp_vars = [k], exp_bndrs = [a::k, b]

We want to quantify over all the free vars of the LHS including
  * any invisible kind variables arising from instantiating tycons,
    such as Proxy
  * wildcards such as '_' above

The wildcards are particularly awkward: they may need to be quantified
  - before the explicit variables k,a,b
  - after them
  - or even interleaved with them
  c.f. Note [Naughty quantification candidates] in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType

So, we use bindOuterFamEqnTKBndrs (which does not create an implication for
the telescope), and generalise over /all/ the variables in the LHS,
without treating the explicitly-quantified ones specially. Wrinkles:

 - When generalising, include the explicit user-specified forall'd
   variables, so that we get an error from Validity.checkFamPatBinders
   if a forall'd variable is not bound on the LHS

 - We still want to complain about a bad telescope among the user-specified
   variables.  So in checkFamTelescope we emit an implication constraint
   quantifying only over them, purely so that we get a good telescope error.

  - Note that, unlike a type signature like
       f :: forall (a::k). blah
    we do /not/ care about the Inferred/Specified designation or order for
    the final quantified tyvars.  Type-family instances are not invoked
    directly in Haskell source code, so visible type application etc plays
    no role.

See also Note [Re-quantify type variables in rules] in
GHC.Tc.Gen.Rule, which explains a /very/ similar design when
generalising over the type of a rewrite rule.

{- Note [Constraints in patterns]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NB: This isn't the whole story. See comment in tcFamTyPats.

At first glance, it seems there is a complicated story to tell in tcFamTyPats
around constraint solving. After all, type family patterns can now do
GADT pattern-matching, which is jolly complicated. But, there's a key fact
which makes this all simple: everything is at top level! There cannot
be untouchable type variables. There can't be weird interaction between
case branches. There can't be global skolems.

This means that the semantics of type-level GADT matching is a little
different than term level. If we have

  data G a where
    MkGBool :: G Bool

And then

  type family F (a :: G k) :: k
  type instance F MkGBool = True

we get

  axF : F Bool (MkGBool <Bool>) ~ True

Simple! No casting on the RHS, because we can affect the kind parameter
to F.

If we ever introduce local type families, this all gets a lot more
complicated, and will end up looking awfully like term-level GADT
pattern-matching.


** The new story **

Here is really what we want:

The matcher really can't deal with covars in arbitrary spots in coercions.
But it can deal with covars that are arguments to GADT data constructors.
So we somehow want to allow covars only in precisely those spots, then use
them as givens when checking the RHS. TODO (RAE): Implement plan.

Note [Quantified kind variables of a family pattern]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider   type family KindFam (p :: k1) (q :: k1)
           data T :: Maybe k1 -> k2 -> *
           type instance KindFam (a :: Maybe k) b = T a b -> Int
The HsBSig for the family patterns will be ([k], [a])

Then in the family instance we want to
  * Bring into scope [ "k" -> k:*, "a" -> a:k ]
  * Kind-check the RHS
  * Quantify the type instance over k and k', as well as a,b, thus
       type instance [k, k', a:Maybe k, b:k']
                     KindFam (Maybe k) k' a b = T k k' a b -> Int

Notice that in the third step we quantify over all the visibly-mentioned
type variables (a,b), but also over the implicitly mentioned kind variables
(k, k').  In this case one is bound explicitly but often there will be
none. The role of the kind signature (a :: Maybe k) is to add a constraint
that 'a' must have that kind, and to bring 'k' into scope.

{- Note [GADT return types]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
  data family T :: forall k. k -> Type
  data instance T (a :: Type) where
    MkT :: forall b. T b

What kind does `b` have in the signature for MkT?
Since the return type must be an instance of the type in the header,
we must have (b :: Type), but you can't tell that by looking only at
the type of the data constructor; you have to look at the header too.
If you wrote it out fully, it'd look like
  data instance T @Type (a :: Type) where
    MkT :: forall (b::Type). T @Type b

We could reject the program, and expect the user to add kind
annotations to `MkT` to restrict the signature.  But an easy and
helpful alternative is this: simply instantiate the type from the
header with fresh unification variables, and unify with the return
type of `MkT`. That will force `b` to have kind `Type`.  See #8707
and #14111.

Wrikles
* At first sight it looks as though this would completely subsume the
  return-type check in checkValidDataCon.  But it does not. Suppose we
  have
     data instance T [a] where
        MkT :: T (F (Maybe a))

  where F is a type function.  Then maybe (F (Maybe a)) evaluates to
  [a], so unifyType will succeed.  But we discard the coercion
  returned by unifyType; and we really don't want to accept this
  program.  The check in checkValidDataCon will, however, reject it.
  TL;DR: keep the check in checkValidDataCon.

* Consider a data type, rather than a data instance, declaration
     data S a where { MkS :: b -> S [b]  }
  In tcConDecl, S is knot-tied, so we don't want to unify (S alpha)
  with (S [b]). To put it another way, unifyType should never see a
  TcTycon.  Simple solution: do *not* do the extra unifyType for
  data types (DDataType) only for data instances (DDataInstance); in
  the latter the family constructor is not knot-tied so there is no
  problem.

* Consider this (from an earlier form of GHC itself):

     data Pass = Parsed | ...
     data GhcPass (c :: Pass) where
       GhcPs :: GhcPs
       ...
     type GhcPs   = GhcPass 'Parsed

   Now GhcPs and GhcPass are mutually recursive. If we did unifyType
   for datatypes like GhcPass, we would not be able to expand the type
   synonym (it'd still be a TcTyCon).  So again, we don't do unifyType
   for data types; we leave it to checkValidDataCon.

   We /do/ perform the unifyType for data /instances/, but a data
   instance doesn't declare a new (user-visible) type constructor, so
   there is no mutual recursion with type synonyms to worry about.
   All good.

   TL;DR we do support mutual recursion between type synonyms and
   data type/instance declarations, as above.

Note [GADT return kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
   type family Star where Star = Type
   data T :: Type where
      MkT :: Int -> T

If, for some stupid reason, tcInferLHsTypeKind on the return type of
MkT returned (T |> ax, Star), then the return-type check in
checkValidDataCon would reject the decl (although of course there is
nothing wrong with it).  We are implicitly requiring tha
tcInferLHsTypeKind doesn't any gratuitous top-level casts.

Note [Function arrows in GADT constructors]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the absence of -XLinearTypes, we always interpret function arrows
in GADT constructor types as linear, even if the user wrote an
unrestricted arrow. See the "Without -XLinearTypes" section of the
linear types GHC proposal (#111). We opt to do this in the
typechecker, and not in an earlier pass, to ensure that the AST
matches what the user wrote (#18791).

Note [Infix GADT constructors]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We do not currently have syntax to declare an infix constructor in GADT syntax,
but it makes a (small) difference to the Show instance.  So as a slightly
ad-hoc solution, we regard a GADT data constructor as infix if
  a) it is an operator symbol
  b) it has two arguments
  c) there is a fixity declaration for it
For example:
   infix 6 (:--:)
   data T a where
     (:--:) :: t1 -> t2 -> T Int


Note [rejigConRes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a delicacy around checking the return types of a datacon. The
central problem is dealing with a declaration like

  data T a where
    MkT :: T a -> Q a

Note that the return type of MkT is totally bogus. When creating the T
tycon, we also need to create the MkT datacon, which must have a "rejigged"
return type. That is, the MkT datacon's type must be transformed to have
a uniform return type with explicit coercions for GADT-like type parameters.
This rejigging is what rejigConRes does. The problem is, though, that checking
that the return type is appropriate is much easier when done over *Type*,
not *HsType*, and doing a call to tcMatchTy will loop because T isn't fully
defined yet.

So, we want to make rejigConRes lazy and then check the validity of
the return type in checkValidDataCon.  To do this we /always/ return a
6-tuple from rejigConRes (so that we can compute the return type from it, which
checkValidDataCon needs), but the first three fields may be bogus if
the return type isn't valid (the last equation for rejigConRes).

This is better than an earlier solution which reduced the number of
errors reported in one pass.  See #7175, and #10836.

{- Note [mkGADTVars]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Running example:

data T (k1 :: *) (k2 :: *) (a :: k2) (b :: k2) where
  MkT :: forall (x1 : *) (y :: x1) (z :: *).
         T x1 * (Proxy (y :: x1), z) z

We need the rejigged type to be

  MkT :: forall (x1 :: *) (k2 :: *) (a :: k2) (b :: k2).
         forall (y :: x1) (z :: *).
         (k2 ~ *, a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z), b ~ z)
      => T x1 k2 a b

You might naively expect that z should become a universal tyvar,
not an existential. (After all, x1 becomes a universal tyvar.)
But z has kind * while b has kind k2, so the return type
   T x1 k2 a z
is ill-kinded.  Another way to say it is this: the universal
tyvars must have exactly the same kinds as the tyConTyVars.

So we need an existential tyvar and a heterogeneous equality
constraint. (The b ~ z is a bit redundant with the k2 ~ * that
comes before in that b ~ z implies k2 ~ *. I'm sure we could do
some analysis that could eliminate k2 ~ *. But we don't do this
yet.)

The data con signature has already been fully kind-checked.
The return type

  T x1 * (Proxy (y :: x1), z) z
becomes
  qtkvs    = [x1 :: *, y :: x1, z :: *]
  res_tmpl = T x1 * (Proxy x1 y, z) z

We start off by matching (T k1 k2 a b) with (T x1 * (Proxy x1 y, z) z). We
know this match will succeed because of the validity check (actually done
later, but laziness saves us -- see Note [rejigConRes]).
Thus, we get

  subst := { k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> *, a |-> (Proxy x1 y, z), b |-> z }

Now, we need to figure out what the GADT equalities should be. In this case,
we *don't* want (k1 ~ x1) to be a GADT equality: it should just be a
renaming. The others should be GADT equalities. We also need to make
sure that the universally-quantified variables of the datacon match up
with the tyvars of the tycon, as required for Core context well-formedness.
(This last bit is why we have to rejig at all!)

`choose` walks down the tycon tyvars, figuring out what to do with each one.
It carries two substitutions:
  - t_sub's domain is *template* or *tycon* tyvars, mapping them to variables
    mentioned in the datacon signature.
  - r_sub's domain is *result* tyvars, names written by the programmer in
    the datacon signature. The final rejigged type will use these names, but
    the subst is still needed because sometimes the printed name of these variables
    is different. (See choose_tv_name, below.)

Before explaining the details of `choose`, let's just look at its operation
on our example:

  choose [] [] {} {} [k1, k2, a, b]
  -->          -- first branch of `case` statement
  choose
    univs:    [x1 :: *]
    eq_spec:  []
    t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1}
    r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
    t_tvs:    [k2, a, b]
  -->          -- second branch of `case` statement
  choose
    univs:    [k2 :: *, x1 :: *]
    eq_spec:  [k2 ~ *]
    t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> k2}
    r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
    t_tvs:    [a, b]
  -->          -- second branch of `case` statement
  choose
    univs:    [a :: k2, k2 :: *, x1 :: *]
    eq_spec:  [ a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z)
              , k2 ~ * ]
    t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> k2, a |-> a}
    r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
    t_tvs:    [b]
  -->          -- second branch of `case` statement
  choose
    univs:    [b :: k2, a :: k2, k2 :: *, x1 :: *]
    eq_spec:  [ b ~ z
              , a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z)
              , k2 ~ * ]
    t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> k2, a |-> a, b |-> z}
    r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
    t_tvs:    []
  -->          -- end of recursion
  ( [x1 :: *, k2 :: *, a :: k2, b :: k2]
  , [k2 ~ *, a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z), b ~ z]
  , {x1 |-> x1} )

`choose` looks up each tycon tyvar in the matching (it *must* be matched!).

* If it finds a bare result tyvar (the first branch of the `case`
  statement), it checks to make sure that the result tyvar isn't yet
  in the list of univ_tvs.  If it is in that list, then we have a
  repeated variable in the return type, and we in fact need a GADT
  equality.

* It then checks to make sure that the kind of the result tyvar
  matches the kind of the template tyvar. This check is what forces
  `z` to be existential, as it should be, explained above.

* Assuming no repeated variables or kind-changing, we wish to use the
  variable name given in the datacon signature (that is, `x1` not
  `k1`), not the tycon signature (which may have been made up by
  GHC). So, we add a mapping from the tycon tyvar to the result tyvar
  to t_sub.

* If we discover that a mapping in `subst` gives us a non-tyvar (the
  second branch of the `case` statement), then we have a GADT equality
  to create.  We create a fresh equality, but we don't extend any
  substitutions. The template variable substitution is meant for use
  in universal tyvar kinds, and these shouldn't be affected by any
  GADT equalities.

This whole algorithm is quite delicate, indeed. I (Richard E.) see two ways
of simplifying it:

1) The first branch of the `case` statement is really an optimization, used
in order to get fewer GADT equalities. It might be possible to make a GADT
equality for *every* univ. tyvar, even if the equality is trivial, and then
either deal with the bigger type or somehow reduce it later.

2) This algorithm strives to use the names for type variables as specified
by the user in the datacon signature. If we always used the tycon tyvar
names, for example, this would be simplified. This change would almost
certainly degrade error messages a bit, though.

Note [Substitution in template variables kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

data G (a :: Maybe k) where
  MkG :: G Nothing

With explicit kind variables

data G k (a :: Maybe k) where
  MkG :: G k1 (Nothing k1)

Note how k1 is distinct from k. So, when we match the template
`G k a` against `G k1 (Nothing k1)`, we get a subst
[ k |-> k1, a |-> Nothing k1 ]. Even though this subst has two
mappings, we surely don't want to add (k, k1) to the list of
GADT equalities -- that would be overly complex and would create
more untouchable variables than we need. So, when figuring out
which tyvars are GADT-like and which aren't (the fundamental
job of `choose`), we want to treat `k` as *not* GADT-like.
Instead, we wish to substitute in `a`'s kind, to get (a :: Maybe k1)
instead of (a :: Maybe k). This is the reason for dealing
with a substitution in here.

However, we do not *always* want to substitute. Consider

data H (a :: k) where
  MkH :: H Int

With explicit kind variables:

data H k (a :: k) where
  MkH :: H * Int

Here, we have a kind-indexed GADT. The subst in question is
[ k |-> *, a |-> Int ]. Now, we *don't* want to substitute in `a`'s
kind, because that would give a constructor with the type

MkH :: forall (k :: *) (a :: *). (k ~ *) -> (a ~ Int) -> H k a

The problem here is that a's kind is wrong -- it needs to be k, not *!
So, if the matching for a variable is anything but another bare variable,
we drop the mapping from the substitution before proceeding. This
was not an issue before kind-indexed GADTs because this case could
never happen.

{- Note [Recover from validity error]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We recover from a validity error in a type or class, which allows us
to report multiple validity errors. In the failure case we return a
TyCon of the right kind, but with no interesting behaviour
(makeRecoveryTyCon). Why?  Suppose we have
   type T a = Fun
where Fun is a type family of arity 1.  The RHS is invalid, but we
want to go on checking validity of subsequent type declarations.
So we replace T with an abstract TyCon which will do no harm.
See indexed-types/should_fail/BadSock and #10896

Some notes:

* We must make fakes for promoted DataCons too. Consider (#15215)
      data T a = MkT ...
      data S a = ...T...MkT....
  If there is an error in the definition of 'T' we add a "fake type
  constructor" to the type environment, so that we can continue to
  typecheck 'S'.  But we /were not/ adding a fake anything for 'MkT'
  and so there was an internal error when we met 'MkT' in the body of
  'S'.

  Similarly for associated types.

* Painfully, we *don't* want to do this for classes.
  Consider tcfail041:
     class (?x::Int) => C a where ...
     instance C Int
  The class is invalid because of the superclass constraint.  But
  we still want it to look like a /class/, else the instance bleats
  that the instance is mal-formed because it hasn't got a class in
  the head.

  This is really bogus; now we have in scope a Class that is invalid
  in some way, with unknown downstream consequences.  A better
  alternative might be to make a fake class TyCon.  A job for another day.

* Previously, we used implicitTyConThings to snaffle out the parts
  to add to the context. The problem is that this also grabs data con
  wrapper Ids. These could be filtered out. But, painfully, getting
  the wrapper Ids checks the DataConRep, and forcing the DataConRep
  can panic if there is a representation-polymorphic argument. This is #18534.
  We don't need the wrapper Ids here anyway. So the code just takes what
  it needs, via child_tycons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider:
  type T :: TYPE (BoxedRep l)
  data T = MkT
This is not OK: we get
  MkT :: forall l. T @l :: TYPE (BoxedRep l)
which is ill-kinded.

For ordinary type signatures f :: blah, we make this check as part of kind-checking
the type signature; see Note [Escaping kind in type signatures] in GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.
But for data constructors we check the type piecemeal, and there is no very
convenient place to do it.  For example, note that it only applies for /nullary/
constructors.  If we had
  data T = MkT Int
then the type of MkT would be MkT :: forall l. Int -> T @l, which is fine.

So we make the check in checkValidDataCon.

Historical note: we used to do the check in checkValidType (#20929 discusses).

{- Note [Class method constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haskell 2010 is supposed to reject
  class C a where
    op :: Eq a => a -> a
where the method type constrains only the class variable(s).  (The extension
-XConstrainedClassMethods switches off this check.)  But regardless
we should not reject
  class C a where
    op :: (?x::Int) => a -> a
as pointed out in #11793. So the test here rejects the program if
  * -XConstrainedClassMethods is off
  * the tyvars of the constraint are non-empty
  * all the tyvars are class tyvars, none are locally quantified

Note [Abort when superclass cycle is detected]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We must avoid doing the ambiguity check for the methods (in
checkValidClass.check_op) when there are already errors accumulated.
This is because one of the errors may be a superclass cycle, and
superclass cycles cause canonicalization to loop. Here is a
representative example:

  class D a => C a where
    meth :: D a => ()
  class C a => D a

This fixes #9415, #9739

Note [Default method type signatures must align]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GHC enforces the invariant that a class method's default type signature
must "align" with that of the method's non-default type signature, as per
GHC #12918. For instance, if you have:

  class Foo a where
    bar :: forall b. Context => a -> b

Then a default type signature for bar must be alpha equivalent to
(forall b. a -> b). That is, the types must be the same modulo differences in
contexts. So the following would be acceptable default type signatures:

    default bar :: forall b. Context1 => a -> b
    default bar :: forall x. Context2 => a -> x

But the following are NOT acceptable default type signatures:

    default bar :: forall b. b -> a
    default bar :: forall x. x
    default bar :: a -> Int

Note that a is bound by the class declaration for Foo itself, so it is
not allowed to differ in the default type signature.

The default type signature (default bar :: a -> Int) deserves special mention,
since (a -> Int) is a straightforward instantiation of (forall b. a -> b). To
write this, you need to declare the default type signature like so:

    default bar :: forall b. (b ~ Int). a -> b

As noted in #12918, there are several reasons to do this:

1. It would make no sense to have a type that was flat-out incompatible with
   the non-default type signature. For instance, if you had:

     class Foo a where
       bar :: a -> Int
       default bar :: a -> Bool

   Then that would always fail in an instance declaration. So this check
   nips such cases in the bud before they have the chance to produce
   confusing error messages.

2. Internally, GHC uses TypeApplications to instantiate the default method in
   an instance. See Note [Default methods in instances] in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.
   Thus, GHC needs to know exactly what the universally quantified type
   variables are, and when instantiated that way, the default method's type
   must match the expected type.

3. Aesthetically, by only allowing the default type signature to differ in its
   context, we are making it more explicit the ways in which the default type
   signature is less polymorphic than the non-default type signature.

You might be wondering: why are the contexts allowed to be different, but not
the rest of the type signature? That's because default implementations often
rely on assumptions that the more general, non-default type signatures do not.
For instance, in the Enum class declaration:

    class Enum a where
      enum :: [a]
      default enum :: (Generic a, GEnum (Rep a)) => [a]
      enum = map to genum

    class GEnum f where
      genum :: [f a]

The default implementation for enum only works for types that are instances of
Generic, and for which their generic Rep type is an instance of GEnum. But
clearly enum doesn't _have_ to use this implementation, so naturally, the
context for enum is allowed to be different to accommodate this. As a result,
when we validity-check default type signatures, we ignore contexts completely.

Note that when checking whether two type signatures match, we must take care to
split as many foralls as it takes to retrieve the tau types we which to check.
See Note [Splitting nested sigma types in class type signatures].

Extra note: July 22.  If we have
   class C a b where
      op :: op_ty
      default op :: def_ty
      op = blah

then we'll generate something like
   $gdm_op :: C a b => def_ty
   $gdm_op = blah

We expect to write an instance that looks (in effect) like this:
   instance G => C t1 t2 where
      op = $gdm_op  -- Added when you leave out binding for 'op'

So we need that
  assuming constraints G, and C t1 t2,
  we have (def_ty[t1/a,t2/b] <= op_ty[t1/a,t2/b]

In the validity check, we want to check that there is such a G.
E.g. if we check  def_ty <= op_ty, and get an insoluble constraint
(Int~Bool), we know there will never be such a G, and can complain.

This seems to be a more general way of thinking about the problem.
But no one is complaining, so it'll have to wait for another day

Note [Splitting nested sigma types in class type signatures]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this type synonym and class definition:

  type Traversal s t a b = forall f. Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

  class Each s t a b where
    each         ::                                      Traversal s t a b
    default each :: (Traversable g, s ~ g a, t ~ g b) => Traversal s t a b

It might seem obvious that the tau types in both type signatures for `each`
are the same, but actually getting GHC to conclude this is surprisingly tricky.
That is because in general, the form of a class method's non-default type
signature is:

  forall a. C a => forall d. D d => E a b

And the general form of a default type signature is:

  forall f. F f => E a f -- The variable `a` comes from the class

So it you want to get the tau types in each type signature, you might find it
reasonable to call tcSplitSigmaTy twice on the non-default type signature, and
call it once on the default type signature. For most classes and methods, this
will work, but Each is a bit of an exceptional case. The way `each` is written,
it doesn't quantify any additional type variables besides those of the Each
class itself, so the non-default type signature for `each` is actually this:

  forall s t a b. Each s t a b => Traversal s t a b

Notice that there _appears_ to only be one forall. But there's actually another
forall lurking in the Traversal type synonym, so if you call tcSplitSigmaTy
twice, you'll also go under the forall in Traversal! That is, you'll end up
with:

  (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

A problem arises because you only call tcSplitSigmaTy once on the default type
signature for `each`, which gives you

  Traversal s t a b

Or, equivalently:

  forall f. Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

This is _not_ the same thing as (a -> f b) -> s -> f t! So now tcMatchTy will
say that the tau types for `each` are not equal.

A solution to this problem is to use tcSplitNestedSigmaTys instead of
tcSplitSigmaTy. tcSplitNestedSigmaTys will always split any foralls that it
sees until it can't go any further, so if you called it on the default type
signature for `each`, it would return (a -> f b) -> s -> f t like we desired.

Note [Checking partial record field]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This check checks the partial record field selector, and warns (#7169).

For example:

  data T a = A { m1 :: a, m2 :: a } | B { m1 :: a }

The function 'm2' is partial record field, and will fail when it is applied to
'B'. The warning identifies such partial fields. The check is performed at the
declaration of T, not at the call-sites of m2.

The warning can be suppressed by prefixing the field-name with an underscore.
For example:

  data T a = A { m1 :: a, _m2 :: a } | B { m1 :: a }
