Id

Contents

The main types

Description

GHC uses several kinds of name internally:

OccName: see "OccName#name_types"
RdrName: see "RdrName#name_types"
Name: see "Name#name_types"
Id represents names that not only have a Name but also a Type and some additional details (a IdInfo and one of LocalIdDetails or GlobalIdDetails) that are added, modified and inspected by various compiler passes. These Var names may either be global or local, see "Var#globalvslocal"
Var: see "Var#name_types"

Synopsis

The main types

data Var Source

Essentially a typed Name, that may also contain some additional information about the Var and it's use sites.

Instances

Data Var
Ord Var

Outputable Var
Uniquable Var
NamedThing Var
Typeable * Var

type Id = Var Source

isId :: Var -> Bool Source

Simple construction

mkGlobalId :: IdDetails -> Name -> Type -> IdInfo -> Id Source

For an explanation of global vs. local Ids, see "Var#globalvslocal"

mkVanillaGlobal :: Name -> Type -> Id Source

Make a global Id without any extra information at all

mkVanillaGlobalWithInfo :: Name -> Type -> IdInfo -> Id Source

Make a global Id with no global information but some generic IdInfo

mkLocalId :: Name -> Type -> Id Source

For an explanation of global vs. local Ids, see "Var#globalvslocal"

mkLocalIdWithInfo :: Name -> Type -> IdInfo -> Id Source

mkExportedLocalId :: Name -> Type -> Id Source

Create a local Id that is marked as exported. This prevents things attached to it from being removed as dead code.

mkSysLocal :: FastString -> Unique -> Type -> Id Source

Create a system local Id. These are local Ids (see "Var#globalvslocal") that are created by the compiler out of thin air

mkSysLocalM :: MonadUnique m => FastString -> Type -> m Id Source

mkUserLocal :: OccName -> Unique -> Type -> SrcSpan -> Id Source

Create a user local Id. These are local Ids (see "Var#globalvslocal") with a name and location that the user might recognize

mkUserLocalM :: MonadUnique m => OccName -> Type -> SrcSpan -> m Id Source

mkTemplateLocals :: [Type] -> [Id] Source

Create a template local for a series of types

mkTemplateLocalsNum :: Int -> [Type] -> [Id] Source

Create a template local for a series of type, but start from a specified template local

mkTemplateLocal :: Int -> Type -> Id Source

Create a template local: a family of system local Ids in bijection with Ints, typically used in unfoldings

mkWorkerId :: Unique -> Id -> Type -> Id Source

Workers get local names. CoreTidy will externalise these if necessary

mkWiredInIdName :: Module -> FastString -> Unique -> Id -> Name Source

Taking an Id apart

idName :: Id -> Name Source

idType :: Id -> Kind Source

idUnique :: Id -> Unique Source

idInfo :: Id -> IdInfo Source

idDetails :: Id -> IdDetails Source

idRepArity :: Id -> RepArity Source

recordSelectorFieldLabel :: Id -> (TyCon, FieldLabel) Source

If the Id is that for a record selector, extract the sel_tycon and label. Panic otherwise

Modifying an Id

setIdName :: Id -> Name -> Id Source

setIdUnique :: Id -> Unique -> Id Source

setIdType :: Id -> Type -> Id Source

Not only does this set the Id Type, it also evaluates the type to try and reduce space usage

setIdExported :: Id -> Id Source

setIdNotExported :: Id -> Id Source

globaliseId :: Id -> Id Source

If it's a local, make it global

localiseId :: Id -> Id Source

setIdInfo :: Id -> IdInfo -> Id Source

lazySetIdInfo :: Id -> IdInfo -> Id Source

modifyIdInfo :: (IdInfo -> IdInfo) -> Id -> Id Source

maybeModifyIdInfo :: Maybe IdInfo -> Id -> Id Source

zapLamIdInfo :: Id -> Id Source

zapDemandIdInfo :: Id -> Id Source

zapFragileIdInfo :: Id -> Id Source

transferPolyIdInfo :: Id -> [Var] -> Id -> Id Source

zapIdStrictness :: Id -> Id Source

Predicates on Ids

isImplicitId :: Id -> Bool Source

isImplicitId tells whether an Ids info is implied by other declarations, so we don't need to put its signature in an interface file, even if it's mentioned in some other interface unfolding.

isDeadBinder :: Id -> Bool Source

isStrictId :: Id -> Bool Source

This predicate says whether the Id has a strict demand placed on it or has a type such that it can always be evaluated strictly (i.e an unlifted type, as of GHC 7.6). We need to check separately whether the Id has a so-called "strict type" because if the demand for the given id hasn't been computed yet but id has a strict type, we still want isStrictId id to be True.

isExportedId :: Var -> Bool Source

isExportedIdVar means "don't throw this away"

isLocalId :: Var -> Bool Source

isGlobalId :: Var -> Bool Source

isRecordSelector :: Id -> Bool Source

isNaughtyRecordSelector :: Id -> Bool Source

isClassOpId_maybe :: Id -> Maybe Class Source

isDFunId :: Id -> Bool Source

isPrimOpId :: Id -> Bool Source

isPrimOpId_maybe :: Id -> Maybe PrimOp Source

isFCallId :: Id -> Bool Source

isFCallId_maybe :: Id -> Maybe ForeignCall Source

isDataConWorkId :: Id -> Bool Source

isDataConWorkId_maybe :: Id -> Maybe DataCon Source

isDataConId_maybe :: Id -> Maybe DataCon Source

idDataCon :: Id -> DataCon Source

Get from either the worker or the wrapper Id to the DataCon. Currently used only in the desugarer.

INVARIANT: idDataCon (dataConWrapId d) = d: remember, dataConWrapId can return either the wrapper or the worker

isConLikeId :: Id -> Bool Source

isBottomingId :: Id -> Bool Source

Returns true if an application to n args would diverge

idIsFrom :: Module -> Id -> Bool Source

hasNoBinding :: Id -> Bool Source

Returns True of an Id which may not have a binding, even though it is defined in this module.

Evidence variables

type DictId = EvId Source

isDictId :: Id -> Bool Source

dfunNSilent :: Id -> Int Source

isEvVar :: Var -> Bool Source

Inline pragma stuff

idInlinePragma :: Id -> InlinePragma Source

setInlinePragma :: Id -> InlinePragma -> Id Source

modifyInlinePragma :: Id -> (InlinePragma -> InlinePragma) -> Id Source

idInlineActivation :: Id -> Activation Source

setInlineActivation :: Id -> Activation -> Id Source

idRuleMatchInfo :: Id -> RuleMatchInfo Source

One-shot lambdas

isOneShotBndr :: Var -> Bool Source

Returns whether the lambda associated with the Id is certainly applied at most once This one is the "business end", called externally. It works on type variables as well as Ids, returning True Its main purpose is to encapsulate the Horrible State Hack

isOneShotLambda :: Id -> Bool Source

Returns whether the lambda associated with the Id is certainly applied at most once. You probably want to use isOneShotBndr instead

isProbablyOneShotLambda :: Id -> Bool Source

setOneShotLambda :: Id -> Id Source

clearOneShotLambda :: Id -> Id Source

updOneShotInfo :: Id -> OneShotInfo -> Id Source

setIdOneShotInfo :: Id -> OneShotInfo -> Id Source

isStateHackType :: Type -> Bool Source

stateHackOneShot :: OneShotInfo Source

Should we apply the state hack to values of this Type?

typeOneShot :: Type -> OneShotInfo Source
