Note [Herald for matchExpectedFunTys]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'herald' always looks like:
"The equation(s) for 'f' have"
"The abstraction (\x.e) takes"
"The section (+ x) expects"
"The function 'f' is applied to"
This is used to construct a message of form
The abstraction `\Just 1 -> ...' takes two arguments
but its type `Maybe a -> a' has only one
The equation(s) for `f' have two arguments
but its type `Maybe a -> a' has only one
The section `(f 3)' requires 'f' to take two arguments
but its type `Int -> Int' has only one
The function 'f' is applied to two arguments
but its type `Int -> Int' has only one
Note [matchExpectedFunTys]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
matchExpectedFunTys checks that an (Expected rho) has the form
of an n-ary function. It passes the decomposed type to the
thing_inside, and returns a wrapper to coerce between the two types
It's used wherever a language construct must have a functional type,
namely:
A lambda expression
A function definition
An operator section
This is not (currently) where deep skolemisation occurs;
matchExpectedFunTys does not skolmise nested foralls in the
expected type, because it expects that to have been done already

Note [Foralls to left of arrow]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
f (x :: forall a. a -> a) = x
We give 'f' the type (alpha -> beta), and then want to unify
the alpha with (forall a. a->a). We want to the arg and result
of (->) to have openTypeKind, and this also permits foralls, so
we are ok.

second, except that if the first is a synonym then the second may be a
de-synonym'd version. This way we get better error messages.

Note [Care with type applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: type applications need a bit of care!
They can match FunTy and TyConApp, so use splitAppTy_maybe
NB: we've already dealt with type variables and Notes,
so if one type is an App the other one jolly well better be too
Note [Unifying AppTy]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider unifying (m Int) ~ (IO Int) where m is a unification variable
that is now bound to (say) (Bool ->). Then we want to report
"Can't unify (Bool -> Int) with (IO Int)
and not
"Can't unify ((->) Bool) with IO"
That is why we use the "_np" variant of uType, which does not alter the error
message.
Note [Mismatched type lists and application decomposition]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we find two TyConApps, you might think that the argument lists
are guaranteed equal length. But they aren't. Consider matching
w (T x) ~ Foo (T x y)
We do match (w ~ Foo) first, but in some circumstances we simply create
a deferred constraint; and then go ahead and match (T x ~ T x y).
This came up in Trac #3950.
So either
(a) either we must check for identical argument kinds
when decomposing applications,
(b) or we must be prepared for ill-kinded unification sub-problems
Currently we adopt (b) since it seems more robust -- no need to maintain
a global invariant.
Note [Expanding synonyms during unification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We expand synonyms during unification, but:
* We expand *after* the variable case so that we tend to unify
variables with un-expanded type synonym. This just makes it
more likely that the inferred types will mention type synonyms
understandable to the user
* We expand *before* the TyConApp case. For example, if we have
type Phantom a = Int
and are unifying
Phantom Int ~ Phantom Char
it is *wrong* to unify Int and Char.
Note [Deferred Unification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We may encounter a unification ty1 ~ ty2 that cannot be performed syntactically,
and yet its consistency is undetermined. Previously, there was no way to still
make it consistent. So a mismatch error was issued.
Now these unfications are deferred until constraint simplification, where type
family instances and given equations may (or may not) establish the consistency.
Deferred unifications are of the form
F ... ~ ...
or x ~ ...
where F is a type function and x is a type variable.
E.g.
id :: x ~ y => x -> y
id e = e
involves the unfication x = y. It is deferred until we bring into account the
context x ~ y to establish that it holds.
If available, we defer original types (rather than those where closed type
synonyms have already been expanded via tcCoreView). This is, as usual, to
improve error messages.

Note [OpenTypeKind accepts foralls]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a common paradigm:
foo :: (forall a. a -> a) -> Int
foo = error "urk"
To make this work we need to instantiate 'error' with a polytype.
A similar case is
bar :: Bool -> (forall a. a->a) -> Int
bar True = \x. (x 3)
bar False = error "urk"
Here we need to instantiate 'error' with a polytype.
But 'error' has an OpenTypeKind type variable, precisely so that
we can instantiate it with Int#. So we also allow such type variables
to be instantiate with foralls. It's a bit of a hack, but seems
straightforward.
Note [Conservative unification check]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When unifying (tv ~ rhs), w try to avoid creating deferred constraints
only for efficiency. However, we do not unify (the defer_me check) if
a) There's an occurs check (tv is in fvs(rhs))
b) There's a type-function call in 'rhs'
If we fail defer_me we use occurCheckExpand to try to make it pass,
(see Note [Type synonyms and the occur check]) and then use defer_me
again to check. Example: Trac #4917)
a ~ Const a b
where type Const a b = a. We can solve this immediately, even when
'a' is a skolem, just by expanding the synonym.
We always defer type-function calls, even if it's be perfectly safe to
unify, eg (a ~ F [b]). Reason: this ensures that the constraint
solver gets to see, and hence simplify the type-function call, which
in turn might simplify the type of an inferred function. Test ghci046
is a case in point.
More mysteriously, test T7010 gave a horrible error
T7010.hs:29:21:
Couldn't match type `Serial (ValueTuple Float)' with `IO Float'
Expected type: (ValueTuple Vector, ValueTuple Vector)
Actual type: (ValueTuple Vector, ValueTuple Vector)
because an insoluble type function constraint got mixed up with
a soluble one when flattening. I never fully understood this, but
deferring type-function applications made it go away :-(.
T5853 also got a less-good error message with more aggressive
unification of type functions.
Moreover the Note [Type family sharing] gives another reason, but
again I'm not sure if it's really valid.
Note [Type synonyms and the occur check]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generally speaking we try to update a variable with type synonyms not
expanded, which improves later error messages, unless looking
inside a type synonym may help resolve a spurious occurs check
error. Consider:
type A a = ()
f :: (A a -> a -> ()) -> ()
f = \ _ -> ()
x :: ()
x = f (\ x p -> p x)
We will eventually get a constraint of the form t ~ A t. The ok function above will
properly expand the type (A t) to just (), which is ok to be unified with t. If we had
unified with the original type A t, we would lead the type checker into an infinite loop.
Hence, if the occurs check fails for a type synonym application, then (and *only* then),
the ok function expands the synonym to detect opportunities for occurs check success using
the underlying definition of the type synonym.
The same applies later on in the constraint interaction code; see TcInteract,
function @occ_check_ok@.
Note [Type family sharing]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We must avoid eagerly unifying type variables to types that contain function symbols,
because this may lead to loss of sharing, and in turn, in very poor performance of the
constraint simplifier. Assume that we have a wanted constraint:
{
m1 ~ [F m2],
m2 ~ [F m3],
m3 ~ [F m4],
D m1,
D m2,
D m3
}
where D is some type class. If we eagerly unify m1 := [F m2], m2 := [F m3], m3 := [F m4],
then, after zonking, our constraint simplifier will be faced with the following wanted
constraint:
{
D [F [F [F m4]]],
D [F [F m4]],
D [F m4]
}
which has to be flattened by the constraint solver. In the absence of
a flat-cache, this may generate a polynomially larger number of
flatten skolems and the constraint sets we are working with will be
polynomially larger.
Instead, if we defer the unifications m1 := [F m2], etc. we will only
be generating three flatten skolems, which is the maximum possible
sharing arising from the original constraint. That's why we used to
use a local "ok" function, a variant of TcType.occurCheckExpand.
HOWEVER, we *do* now have a flat-cache, which effectively recovers the
sharing, so there's no great harm in losing it -- and it's generally
more efficient to do the unification up-front.

data LookupTyVarResult
= Unfilled TcTyVarDetails
| Filled TcType
lookupTcTyVar :: TcTyVar -> TcM LookupTyVarResult
lookupTcTyVar tyvar
| MetaTv { mtv_ref = ref } <- details
= do { meta_details <- readMutVar ref
; case meta_details of
Indirect ty -> return (Filled ty)
Flexi -> do { is_touchable <- isTouchableTcM tyvar
; if is_touchable then
return (Unfilled details)
else
return (Unfilled vanillaSkolemTv) } }
| otherwise
= return (Unfilled details)
where
details = ASSERT2( isTcTyVar tyvar, ppr tyvar )
tcTyVarDetails tyvar

updateMeta tv1 ref1 ty2
= do { writeMetaTyVarRef tv1 ref1 ty2
; return (mkTcNomReflCo ty2) }
\end{code}
Note [Unifying untouchables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We treat an untouchable type variable as if it was a skolem. That
ensures it won't unify with anything. It's a slight had, because
we return a made-up TcTyVarDetails, but I think it works smoothly.
%************************************************************************

Kind unification
%* *
%************************************************************************
Unifying kinds is much, much simpler than unifying types.
One small wrinkle is that as far as the user is concerned, types of kind
Constraint should only be allowed to occur where we expect *exactly* that kind.
We SHOULD NOT allow a type of kind fact to appear in a position expecting
one of argTypeKind or openTypeKind.
The situation is different in the core of the compiler, where we are perfectly
happy to have types of kind Constraint on either end of an arrow.
Note [Kind variables can be untouchable]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We must use the careful function lookupTcTyVar to see if a kind
variable is filled or unifiable. It checks for touchablity, and kind
variables can certainly be untouchable --- for example the variable
might be bound outside an enclosing existental pattern match that
binds an inner kind variable, which we don't want ot escape outside.
This, or something closely related, was teh cause of Trac #8985.
Note [Unifying kind variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rather hackily, kind variables can be TyVars not just TcTyVars.
Main reason is in
data instance T (D (x :: k)) = ...con-decls...
Here we bring into scope a kind variable 'k', and use it in the
con-decls. BUT the con-decls will be finished and frozen, and
are not amenable to subsequent substitution, so it makes sense
to have the *final* kind-variable (a KindVar, not a TcKindVar) in
scope. So at least during kind unification we can encounter a
KindVar.
Hence the isTcTyVar tests before calling lookupTcTyVar.
