Exemple: If we want to instantiate [(k1 :: BOX), (k2 :: BOX), (a :: k1 -> k2), (b :: k1)] we want [(?k1 :: BOX), (?k2 :: BOX), (?a :: ?k1 -> ?k2), (?b :: ?k1)] instead of the buggous [(?k1 :: BOX), (?k2 :: BOX), (?a :: k1 -> k2), (?b :: k1)] %************************************************************************ %* * MetaTvs (meta type variables; mutable) %* * %************************************************************************ \begin{code}

\end{code} Note [Zonking to Skolem] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We used to zonk quantified type variables to regular TyVars. However, this leads to problems. Consider this program from the regression test suite: eval :: Int -> String -> String -> String eval 0 root actual = evalRHS 0 root actual evalRHS :: Int -> a evalRHS 0 root actual = eval 0 root actual It leads to the deferral of an equality (wrapped in an implication constraint) forall a. () => ((String -> String -> String) ~ a) which is propagated up to the toplevel (see TcSimplify.tcSimplifyInferCheck). In the meantime `a' is zonked and quantified to form `evalRHS's signature. This has the *side effect* of also zonking the `a' in the deferred equality (which at this point is being handed around wrapped in an implication constraint). Finally, the equality (with the zonked `a') will be handed back to the simplifier by TcRnDriver.tcRnSrcDecls calling TcSimplify.tcSimplifyTop. If we zonk `a' with a regular type variable, we will have this regular type variable now floating around in the simplifier, which in many places assumes to only see proper TcTyVars. We can avoid this problem by zonking with a skolem. The skolem is rigid (which we require for a quantified variable), but is still a TcTyVar that the simplifier knows how to deal with. Note [Silly Type Synonyms] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider this: type C u a = u -- Note 'a' unused foo :: (forall a. C u a -> C u a) -> u foo x = ... bar :: Num u => u bar = foo (\t -> t + t) * From the (\t -> t+t) we get type {Num d} => d -> d where d is fresh. * Now unify with type of foo's arg, and we get: {Num (C d a)} => C d a -> C d a where a is fresh. * Now abstract over the 'a', but float out the Num (C d a) constraint because it does not 'really' mention a. (see exactTyVarsOfType) The arg to foo becomes \/\a -> \t -> t+t * So we get a dict binding for Num (C d a), which is zonked to give a = () [Note Sept 04: now that we are zonking quantified type variables on construction, the 'a' will be frozen as a regular tyvar on quantification, so the floated dict will still have type (C d a). Which renders this whole note moot; happily!] * Then the \/\a abstraction has a zonked 'a' in it. All very silly. I think its harmless to ignore the problem. We'll end up with a \/\a in the final result but all the occurrences of a will be zonked to () %************************************************************************ %* * Zonking %* * %************************************************************************ @tcGetGlobalTyVars@ returns a fully-zonked set of tyvars free in the environment.

\end{code} Note [Unflattening while zonking] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A bunch of wanted constraints could contain wanted equations of the form (F taus ~ alpha) where alpha is either an ordinary unification variable, or a flatten unification variable. These are ordinary wanted constraints and can/should be solved by ordinary unification alpha := F taus. However the constraint solving algorithm does not do that, as their 'inert' form is F taus ~ alpha. Hence, we need an extra step to 'unflatten' these equations by performing unification. This unification, if it happens at the end of constraint solving, cannot produce any more interactions in the constraint solver so it is safe to do it as the very very last step. We choose therefore to do it during zonking, in the function zonkFlats. This is in analogy to the zonking of given "flatten skolems" which are eliminated in favor of the underlying type that they are equal to. Note that, because we now have to affect *evidence* while zonking (setting some evidence binds to identities), we have to pass to the zonkWC function an evidence variable to collect all the extra variables. Note [How to unflatten] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How do we unflatten during zonking. Consider a bunch of flat constraints. Consider them one by one. For each such constraint C * Zonk C (to apply current substitution) * If C is of form F tys ~ alpha, where alpha is touchable and alpha is not mentioned in tys then unify alpha := F tys and discard C After processing all the flat constraints, zonk them again to propagate the inforamtion from later ones to earlier ones. Eg Start: (F alpha ~ beta, G Int ~ alpha) Then we get beta := F alpha alpha := G Int but we must apply the second unification to the first constraint. \begin{code}
