\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * Cycles in class and type synonym declarations %* * %************************************************************************ Checking for class-decl loops is easy, because we don't allow class decls in interface files. We allow type synonyms in hi-boot files, but we *trust* hi-boot files, so we don't check for loops that involve them. So we only look for synonym loops in the module being compiled. We check for type synonym and class cycles on the *source* code. Main reasons: a) Otherwise we'd need a special function to extract type-synonym tycons from a type, whereas we have extractHsTyNames already b) If we checked for type synonym loops after building the TyCon, we can't do a hoistForAllTys on the type synonym rhs, (else we fall into a black hole) which seems unclean. Apart from anything else, it'd mean that a type-synonym rhs could have for-alls to the right of an arrow, which means adding new cases to the validity checker Indeed, in general, checking for cycles beforehand means we need to be less careful about black holes through synonym cycles. The main disadvantage is that a cycle that goes via a type synonym in an .hi-boot file can lead the compiler into a loop, because it assumes that cycles only occur entirely within the source code of the module being compiled. But hi-boot files are trusted anyway, so this isn't much worse than (say) a kind error. [ NOTE ---------------------------------------------- If we reverse this decision, this comment came from tcTyDecl1, and should go back there -- dsHsType, not tcHsKindedType, to avoid a loop. tcHsKindedType does hoisting, -- which requires looking through synonyms... and therefore goes into a loop -- on (erroneously) recursive synonyms. -- Solution: do not hoist synonyms, because they'll be hoisted soon enough -- when they are substituted We'd also need to add back in this definition synTyConsOfType :: Type -> [TyCon] -- Does not look through type synonyms at all -- Return a list of synonym tycons synTyConsOfType ty = nameEnvElts (go ty) where go :: Type -> NameEnv TyCon -- The NameEnv does duplicate elim go (TyVarTy v) = emptyNameEnv go (TyConApp tc tys) = go_tc tc tys go (AppTy a b) = go a `plusNameEnv` go b go (FunTy a b) = go a `plusNameEnv` go b go (PredTy (IParam _ ty)) = go ty go (PredTy (ClassP cls tys)) = go_s tys -- Ignore class go (ForAllTy _ ty) = go ty go_tc tc tys | isSynTyCon tc = extendNameEnv (go_s tys) (tyConName tc) tc | otherwise = go_s tys go_s tys = foldr (plusNameEnv . go) emptyNameEnv tys ---------------------------------------- END NOTE ] \begin{code}

\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * Deciding which type constructors are recursive %* * %************************************************************************ Identification of recursive TyCons ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The knot-tying parameters: @rec_details_list@ is an alist mapping @Name@s to @TyThing@s. Identifying a TyCon as recursive serves two purposes 1. Avoid infinite types. Non-recursive newtypes are treated as "transparent", like type synonyms, after the type checker. If we did this for all newtypes, we'd get infinite types. So we figure out for each newtype whether it is "recursive", and add a coercion if so. In effect, we are trying to "cut the loops" by identifying a loop-breaker. 2. Avoid infinite unboxing. This is nothing to do with newtypes. Suppose we have data T = MkT Int T f (MkT x t) = f t Well, this function diverges, but we don't want the strictness analyser to diverge. But the strictness analyser will diverge because it looks deeper and deeper into the structure of T. (I believe there are examples where the function does something sane, and the strictness analyser still diverges, but I can't see one now.) Now, concerning (1), the FC2 branch currently adds a coercion for ALL newtypes. I did this as an experiment, to try to expose cases in which the coercions got in the way of optimisations. If it turns out that we can indeed always use a coercion, then we don't risk recursive types, and don't need to figure out what the loop breakers are. For newtype *families* though, we will always have a coercion, so they are always loop breakers! So you can easily adjust the current algorithm by simply treating all newtype families as loop breakers (and indeed type families). I think. For newtypes, we label some as "recursive" such that INVARIANT: there is no cycle of non-recursive newtypes In any loop, only one newtype need be marked as recursive; it is a "loop breaker". Labelling more than necessary as recursive is OK, provided the invariant is maintained. A newtype M.T is defined to be "recursive" iff (a) it is declared in an hi-boot file (see RdrHsSyn.hsIfaceDecl) (b) it is declared in a source file, but that source file has a companion hi-boot file which declares the type or (c) one can get from T's rhs to T via type synonyms, or non-recursive newtypes *in M* e.g. newtype T = MkT (T -> Int) (a) is conservative; declarations in hi-boot files are always made loop breakers. That's why in (b) we can restrict attention to tycons in M, because any loops through newtypes outside M will be broken by those newtypes (b) ensures that a newtype is not treated as a loop breaker in one place and later as a non-loop-breaker. This matters in GHCi particularly, when a newtype T might be embedded in many types in the environment, and then T's source module is compiled. We don't want T's recursiveness to change. The "recursive" flag for algebraic data types is irrelevant (never consulted) for types with more than one constructor. An algebraic data type M.T is "recursive" iff it has just one constructor, and (a) it is declared in an hi-boot file (see RdrHsSyn.hsIfaceDecl) (b) it is declared in a source file, but that source file has a companion hi-boot file which declares the type or (c) one can get from its arg types to T via type synonyms, or by non-recursive newtypes or non-recursive product types in M e.g. data T = MkT (T -> Int) Bool Just like newtype in fact A type synonym is recursive if one can get from its right hand side back to it via type synonyms. (This is reported as an error.) A class is recursive if one can get from its superclasses back to it. (This is an error too.) Hi-boot types ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A data type read from an hi-boot file will have an AbstractTyCon as its AlgTyConRhs and will respond True to isHiBootTyCon. The idea is that we treat these as if one could get from these types to anywhere. So when we see module Baz where import {-# SOURCE #-} Foo( T ) newtype S = MkS T then we mark S as recursive, just in case. What that means is that if we see import Baz( S ) newtype R = MkR S then we don't need to look inside S to compute R's recursiveness. Since S is imported (not from an hi-boot file), one cannot get from R back to S except via an hi-boot file, and that means that some data type will be marked recursive along the way. So R is unconditionly non-recursive (i.e. there'll be a loop breaker elsewhere if necessary) This in turn means that we grovel through fewer interface files when computing recursiveness, because we need only look at the type decls in the module being compiled, plus the outer structure of directly-mentioned types. \begin{code}

        -- type synonym in a hi-boot file) we can get an infinite
        -- loop.  We could program round this, but it'd make the code
        -- rather less nice, so I'm not going to do that yet.

    single_con_tycons = filter (isSingleton . tyConDataCons) all_tycons
        -- Both newtypes and data types, with exactly one data constructor
    (new_tycons, prod_tycons) = partition isNewTyCon single_con_tycons
        -- NB: we do *not* call isProductTyCon because that checks
	--     for vanilla-ness of data constructors; and that depends
	--     on empty existential type variables; and that is figured
	--     out by tcResultType; which uses tcMatchTy; which uses
