This is necessary because we often want to perform equality checks on the types right away, and it would be incredibly painful to do this on un-desugared types. Luckily, desugared types are close enough to HsTypes to make the error messages sane. During type-checking, we perform as little validity checking as possible. This is because some type-checking is done in a mutually-recursive knot, and if we look too closely at the tycons, we'll loop. This is why we always must use mkNakedTyConApp and mkNakedAppTys, etc., which never look at a tycon. The mkNamed... functions don't uphold Type invariants, but zonkTcTypeToType will repair this for us. Note that zonkTcType *is* safe within a knot, and can be done repeatedly with no ill effect: it just squeezes out metavariables. Generally, after type-checking, you will want to do validity checking, say with TcValidity.checkValidType. Validity checking ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some of the validity check could in principle be done by the kind checker, but not all: - During desugaring, we normalise by expanding type synonyms. Only after this step can we check things like type-synonym saturation e.g. type T k = k Int type S a = a Then (T S) is ok, because T is saturated; (T S) expands to (S Int); and then S is saturated. This is a GHC extension. - Similarly, also a GHC extension, we look through synonyms before complaining about the form of a class or instance declaration - Ambiguity checks involve functional dependencies, and it's easier to wait until knots have been resolved before poking into them Also, in a mutually recursive group of types, we can't look at the TyCon until we've finished building the loop. So to keep things simple, we postpone most validity checking until step (3). Knot tying ~~~~~~~~~~ During step (1) we might fault in a TyCon defined in another module, and it might (via a loop) refer back to a TyCon defined in this module. So when we tie a big knot around type declarations with ARecThing, so that the fault-in code can get the TyCon being defined. %************************************************************************ %* * Check types AND do validity checking * * ************************************************************************ -} funsSigCtxt :: [Located Name] -> UserTypeCtxt -- Returns FunSigCtxt, with no redundant-context-reporting, -- form a list of located names funsSigCtxt (L _ name1 : _) = FunSigCtxt name1 False funsSigCtxt [] = panic "funSigCtxt" addSigCtxt :: UserTypeCtxt -> LHsType GhcRn -> TcM a -> TcM a addSigCtxt ctxt hs_ty thing_inside = setSrcSpan (getLoc hs_ty) $ addErrCtxt (pprSigCtxt ctxt hs_ty) $ thing_inside pprSigCtxt :: UserTypeCtxt -> LHsType GhcRn -> SDoc -- (pprSigCtxt ctxt <extra> <type>) -- prints In the type signature for 'f': -- f :: <type> -- The <extra> is either empty or "the ambiguity check for" pprSigCtxt ctxt hs_ty | Just n <- isSigMaybe ctxt = hang (text "In the type signature:") 2 (pprPrefixOcc n <+> dcolon <+> ppr hs_ty) | otherwise = hang (text "In" <+> pprUserTypeCtxt ctxt <> colon) 2 (ppr hs_ty) tcHsSigWcType :: UserTypeCtxt -> LHsSigWcType GhcRn -> TcM Type -- This one is used when we have a LHsSigWcType, but in -- a place where wildards aren't allowed.

Answer: we use the same rule as for value bindings: * We always kind-generalise if the type signature is closed * Additionally, we attempt to generalise if we have NoMonoLocalBinds Trac #13337 shows the problem if we kind-generalise an open type (i.e. one that mentions in-scope tpe variable foo :: forall k (a :: k) proxy. (Typeable k, Typeable a) => proxy a -> String foo _ = case eqT :: Maybe (k :~: Type) of Nothing -> ... Just Refl -> case eqT :: Maybe (a :~: Int) of ... In the expression type sig on the last line, we have (a :: k) but (Int :: Type). Since (:~:) is kind-homogeneous, this requires k ~ *, which is true in the Refl branch of the outer case. That equality will be solved if we allow it to float out to the implication constraint for the Refl match, bnot not if we aggressively attempt to solve all equalities the moment they occur; that is, when checking (Maybe (a :~: Int)). (NB: solveEqualities fails unless it solves all the kind equalities, which is the right thing at top level.) So here the right thing is simply not to do kind generalisation! ************************************************************************ * * Type-checking modes * * ************************************************************************ The kind-checker is parameterised by a TcTyMode, which contains some information about where we're checking a type. The renamer issues errors about what it can. All errors issued here must concern things that the renamer can't handle. -} -- | Info about the context in which we're checking a type.

For example: rank2 :: (forall a. a -> a) -> () x = rank2 id When checking the body of `x`, we can instantiate `id` with a metavariable. Then, when we're checking the application of `rank2`, we notice that we really need a polymorphic `id`, and then re-generalize over the unconstrained metavariable. In types, however, we're not so lucky, because *we cannot re-generalize*! There is no lambda. So, we must be careful only to instantiate at the last possible moment, when we're sure we're never going to want the lost polymorphism again. This is done in calls to tcInstBinders. To implement this behavior, we use bidirectional type checking, where we explicitly think about whether we know the kind of the type we're checking or not. Note that there is a difference between not knowing a kind and knowing a metavariable kind: the metavariables are TauTvs, and cannot become forall-quantified kinds. Previously (before dependent types), there were no higher-rank kinds, and so we could instantiate early and be sure that no types would have polymorphic kinds, and so we could always assume that the kind of a type was a fresh metavariable. Not so anymore, thus the need for two algorithms. For HsType forms that can never be kind-polymorphic, we implement only the "down" direction, where we safely assume a metavariable kind. For HsType forms that *can* be kind-polymorphic, we implement just the "up" (functions with "infer" in their name) version, as we gain nothing by also implementing the "down" version. Note [Future-proofing the type checker] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As discussed in Note [Bidirectional type checking], each HsType form is handled in *either* tc_infer_hs_type *or* tc_hs_type. These functions are mutually recursive, so that either one can work for any type former. But, we want to make sure that our pattern-matches are complete. So, we have a bunch of repetitive code just so that we get warnings if we're missing any patterns. -} ------------------------------------------ -- | Check and desugar a type, returning the core type and its -- possibly-polymorphic kind.

We must zonk the types before making the DataCon, because once built we can't change it. So we must traverse the type. BUT the parent TyCon is knot-tied, so we can't look at it yet. So we must be careful not to use "smart constructors" for types that look at the TyCon or Class involved. * Hence the use of mkNakedXXX functions. These do *not* enforce the invariants (for example that we use (FunTy s t) rather than (TyConApp (->) [s,t])). * The zonking functions establish invariants (even zonkTcType, a change from previous behaviour). So we must never inspect the result of a zonk that might mention a knot-tied TyCon. This is generally OK because we zonk *kinds* while kind-checking types. And the TyCons in kinds shouldn't be knot-tied, because they come from a previous mutually recursive group. * TcHsSyn.zonkTcTypeToType also can safely check/establish invariants. This is horribly delicate. I hate it. A good example of how delicate it is can be seen in Trac #7903. Note [GADT kind self-reference] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A promoted type cannot be used in the body of that type's declaration. Trac #11554 shows this example, which made GHC loop: import Data.Kind data P (x :: k) = Q data A :: Type where B :: forall (a :: A). P a -> A In order to check the constructor B, we need to have the promoted type A, but in order to get that promoted type, B must first be checked. To prevent looping, a TyConPE promotion error is given when tcTyVar checks an ATcTyCon in kind mode. Any ATcTyCon is a TyCon being defined in the current recursive group (see data type decl for TcTyThing), and all such TyCons are illegal in kinds. Trac #11962 proposes checking the head of a data declaration separately from its constructors. This would allow the example above to pass. Note [Body kind of a HsForAllTy] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The body of a forall is usually a type, but in principle there's no reason to prohibit *unlifted* types. In fact, GHC can itself construct a function with an unboxed tuple inside a for-all (via CPR analysis; see typecheck/should_compile/tc170). Moreover in instance heads we get forall-types with kind Constraint. It's tempting to check that the body kind is either * or #. But this is wrong. For example: class C a b newtype N = Mk Foo deriving (C a) We're doing newtype-deriving for C. But notice how `a` isn't in scope in the predicate `C a`. So we quantify, yielding `forall a. C a` even though `C a` has kind `* -> Constraint`. The `forall a. C a` is a bit cheeky, but convenient. Bottom line: don't check for * or # here. Note [Body kind of a HsQualTy] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If ctxt is non-empty, the HsQualTy really is a /function/, so the kind of the result really is '*', and in that case the kind of the body-type can be lifted or unlifted. However, consider instance Eq a => Eq [a] where ... or f :: (Eq a => Eq [a]) => blah Here both body-kind of the HsQualTy is Constraint rather than *. Rather crudely we tell the difference by looking at exp_kind. It's very convenient to typecheck instance types like any other HsSigType. Admittedly the '(Eq a => Eq [a]) => blah' case is erroneous, but it's better to reject in checkValidType. If we say that the body kind should be '*' we risk getting TWO error messages, one saying that Eq [a] doens't have kind '*', and one saying that we need a Constraint to the left of the outer (=>). How do we figure out the right body kind? Well, it's a bit of a kludge: I just look at the expected kind. If it's Constraint, we must be in this instance situation context. It's a kludge because it wouldn't work if any unification was involved to compute that result kind -- but it isn't. (The true way might be to use the 'mode' parameter, but that seemed like a sledgehammer to crack a nut.) Note [Inferring tuple kinds] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Give a tuple type (a,b,c), which the parser labels as HsBoxedOrConstraintTuple, we try to figure out whether it's a tuple of kind * or Constraint. Step 1: look at the expected kind Step 2: infer argument kinds If after Step 2 it's not clear from the arguments that it's Constraint, then it must be *. Once having decided that we re-check the Check the arguments again to give good error messages in eg. `(Maybe, Maybe)` Note that we will still fail to infer the correct kind in this case: type T a = ((a,a), D a) type family D :: Constraint -> Constraint While kind checking T, we do not yet know the kind of D, so we will default the kind of T to * -> *. It works if we annotate `a` with kind `Constraint`. Note [Desugaring types] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The type desugarer is phase 2 of dealing with HsTypes. Specifically: * It transforms from HsType to Type * It zonks any kinds. The returned type should have no mutable kind or type variables (hence returning Type not TcType): - any unconstrained kind variables are defaulted to (Any *) just as in TcHsSyn. - there are no mutable type variables because we are kind-checking a type Reason: the returned type may be put in a TyCon or DataCon where it will never subsequently be zonked. You might worry about nested scopes: ..a:kappa in scope.. let f :: forall b. T '[a,b] -> Int In this case, f's type could have a mutable kind variable kappa in it; and we might then default it to (Any *) when dealing with f's type signature. But we don't expect this to happen because we can't get a lexically scoped type variable with a mutable kind variable in it. A delicate point, this. If it becomes an issue we might need to distinguish top-level from nested uses. Moreover * it cannot fail, * it does no unifications * it does no validity checking, except for structural matters, such as (a) spurious ! annotations. (b) a class used as a type Note [Kind of a type splice] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider these terms, each with TH type splice inside: [| e1 :: Maybe $(..blah..) |] [| e2 :: $(..blah..) |] When kind-checking the type signature, we'll kind-check the splice $(..blah..); we want to give it a kind that can fit in any context, as if $(..blah..) :: forall k. k.

SameKind b c d has no binding site. So it gets bound implicitly, at the top. The problem is that d's kind mentions `a`. So it's all ill-scoped. The way we check for this is to gather all variables *bound* in a type variable's scope. The type variable's kind should not mention any of these variables. That is, d's kind can't mention a, b, or c. We can't just check to make sure that d's kind is in scope, because we might be about to kindGeneralize. A little messy, but it works. Note [Dependent LHsQTyVars] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We track (in the renamer) which explicitly bound variables in a LHsQTyVars are manifestly dependent; only precisely these variables may be used within the LHsQTyVars. We must do this so that kcHsTyVarBndrs can produce the right TyConBinders, and tell Anon vs. Required. Example data T k1 (a:k1) (b:k2) c = MkT (Proxy a) (Proxy b) (Proxy c) Here (a:k1),(b:k2),(c:k3) are Anon (explicitly specified as a binder, not used in the kind of any other binder k1 is Required (explicitly specifed as a binder, but used in the kind of another binder i.e. dependently) k2 is Specified (not explicitly bound, but used in the kind of another binder) k3 in Inferred (not lexically in scope at all, but inferred by kind inference) and T :: forall {k3} k1. forall k3 -> k1 -> k2 -> k3 -> * See Note [TyVarBndrs, TyVarBinders, TyConBinders, and visibility] in TyCoRep. kcHsTyVarBndrs uses the hsq_dependent field to decide whether k1, a, b, c should be Required or Anon. Earlier, thought it would work simply to do a free-variable check during kcHsTyVarBndrs, but this is bogus, because there may be unsolved equalities about. And we don't want to eagerly solve the equalities, because we may get further information after kcHsTyVarBndrs is called. (Recall that kcHsTyVarBndrs is usually called from getInitialKind. The only other case is in kcConDecl.) This is what implements the rule that all variables intended to be dependent must be manifestly so. Sidenote: It's quite possible that later, we'll consider (t -> s) as a degenerate case of some (pi (x :: t) -> s) and then this will all get more permissive. -} tcWildCardBinders :: [Name] -> ([(Name, TcTyVar)] -> TcM a) -> TcM a tcWildCardBinders = tcWildCardBindersX new_tv where new_tv name = do { kind <- newMetaKindVar ; newSkolemTyVar name kind } tcWildCardBindersX :: (Name -> TcM TcTyVar) -> [Name] -> ([(Name, TcTyVar)] -> TcM a) -> TcM a tcWildCardBindersX new_wc wc_names thing_inside = do { wcs <- mapM new_wc wc_names ; let wc_prs = wc_names `zip` wcs ; tcExtendTyVarEnv2 wc_prs $ thing_inside wc_prs } -- | Kind-check a 'LHsQTyVars'.

For example, consider T :: forall k. k -> * f :: (forall a. T a -> Int) -> Int When kind-checking f's type signature we generalise the kind at the outermost level, thus: f1 :: forall k. (forall (a:k). T k a -> Int) -> Int -- YES! and *not* at the inner forall: f2 :: (forall k. forall (a:k). T k a -> Int) -> Int -- NO! Reason: same as for HM inference on value level declarations, we want to infer the most general type. The f2 type signature would be *less applicable* than f1, because it requires a more polymorphic argument. NB: There are no explicit kind variables written in f's signature. When there are, the renamer adds these kind variables to the list of variables bound by the forall, so you can indeed have a type that's higher-rank in its kind. But only by explicit request. Note [Kinds of quantified type variables] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ tcTyVarBndrsGen quantifies over a specified list of type variables, *and* over the kind variables mentioned in the kinds of those tyvars. Note that we must zonk those kinds (obviously) but less obviously, we must return type variables whose kinds are zonked too. Example (a :: k7) where k7 := k9 -> k9 We must return [k9, a:k9->k9] and NOT [k9, a:k7] Reason: we're going to turn this into a for-all type, forall k9. forall (a:k7). blah which the type checker will then instantiate, and instantiate does not look through unification variables! Hence using zonked_kinds when forming tvs'. Note [Free-floating kind vars] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider data T = MkT (forall (a :: k). Proxy a) -- from test ghci/scripts/T7873 This is not an existential datatype, but a higher-rank one (the forall to the right of MkT). Also consider data S a = MkS (Proxy (a :: k)) According to the rules around implicitly-bound kind variables, in both cases those k's scope over the whole declaration. The renamer grabs it and adds it to the hsq_implicits field of the HsQTyVars of the tycon. So it must be in scope during type-checking, but we want to reject T while accepting S. Why reject T? Because the kind variable isn't fixed by anything. For a variable like k to be implicit, it needs to be mentioned in the kind of a tycon tyvar. But it isn't. Why accept S? Because kind inference tells us that a has kind k, so it's all OK. Our approach depends on whether or not the datatype has a CUSK. Non-CUSK: In the first pass (kcTyClTyVars) we just bring k into scope. In the second pass (tcTyClTyVars), we check to make sure that k has been unified with some other variable (or generalized over, making k into a skolem). If it hasn't been, then it must be a free-floating kind var. Error. CUSK: When we determine the tycon's final, never-to-be-changed kind in kcHsTyVarBndrs, we check to make sure all implicitly-bound kind vars are indeed mentioned in a kind somewhere. If not, error. We also perform free-floating kind var analysis for type family instances (see #13985). Here is an interesting example: type family T :: k type instance T = (Nothing :: Maybe a) Upon a cursory glance, it may appear that the kind variable `a` is free-floating above, since there are no (visible) LHS patterns in `T`. However, there is an *invisible* pattern due to the return kind, so inside of GHC, the instance looks closer to this: type family T @k :: k type instance T @(Maybe a) = (Nothing :: Maybe a) Here, we can see that `a` really is bound by a LHS type pattern, so `a` is in fact not free-floating. Contrast that with this example: type instance T = Proxy (Nothing :: Maybe a) This would looks like this inside of GHC: type instance T @(*) = Proxy (Nothing :: Maybe a) So this time, `a` is neither bound by a visible nor invisible type pattern on the LHS, so it would be reported as free-floating. Finally, here's one more brain-teaser (from #9574). In the example below: class Funct f where type Codomain f :: * instance Funct ('KProxy :: KProxy o) where type Codomain 'KProxy = NatTr (Proxy :: o -> *) As it turns out, `o` is not free-floating in this example. That is because `o` bound by the kind signature of the LHS type pattern 'KProxy. To make this more obvious, one can also write the instance like so: instance Funct ('KProxy :: KProxy o) where type Codomain ('KProxy :: KProxy o) = NatTr (Proxy :: o -> *) -} -------------------- -- getInitialKind has made a suitably-shaped kind for the type or class -- Look it up in the local environment.

An annoying difficulty happens if there are more than 62 inferred constraints. Then we need to fill in the TcTyVar with (say) a 70-tuple. Where do we find the TyCon? For good reasons we only have constraint tuples up to 62 (see Note [How tuples work] in TysWiredIn). So how can we make a 70-tuple? This was the root cause of Trac #14217. It's incredibly tiresome, because we only need this type to fill in the hole, to communicate to the error reporting machinery. Nothing more. So I use a HACK: * I make an /ordinary/ tuple of the constraints, in TcBinds.chooseInferredQuantifiers. This is ill-kinded because ordinary tuples can't contain constraints, but it works fine. And for ordinary tuples we don't have the same limit as for constraint tuples (which need selectors and an assocated class). * Because it is ill-kinded, it trips an assert in writeMetaTyVar, so now I disable the assertion if we are writing a type of kind Constraint. (That seldom/never normally happens so we aren't losing much.) Result works fine, but it may eventually bite us. ************************************************************************ * * Pattern signatures (i.e signatures that occur in patterns) * * ********************************************************************* -} tcHsPatSigType :: UserTypeCtxt -> LHsSigWcType GhcRn -- The type signature -> TcM ( [(Name, TcTyVar)] -- Wildcards , [(Name, TcTyVar)] -- The new bit of type environment, binding -- the scoped type variables , TcType) -- The type -- Used for type-checking type signatures in -- (a) patterns e.g f (x::Int) = e -- (b) RULE forall bndrs e.g. forall (x::Int). f x = x -- -- This may emit constraints tcHsPatSigType ctxt sig_ty | HsWC { hswc_wcs = sig_wcs, hswc_body = ib_ty } <- sig_ty , HsIB { hsib_vars = sig_vars, hsib_body = hs_ty } <- ib_ty = addSigCtxt ctxt hs_ty $ do { (implicit_tvs, (wcs, sig_ty)) <- tcWildCardBindersX newWildTyVar sig_wcs $ \ wcs -> tcImplicitTKBndrsX new_implicit_tv sig_vars $ do { sig_ty <- tcHsOpenType hs_ty ; return ((wcs, sig_ty), allBoundVariables sig_ty) } ; emitWildCardHoleConstraints wcs ; sig_ty <- zonkTcType sig_ty ; checkValidType ctxt sig_ty ; tv_pairs <- mapM mk_tv_pair implicit_tvs ; traceTc "tcHsPatSigType" (ppr sig_vars) ; return (wcs, tv_pairs, sig_ty) } where new_implicit_tv name = do { kind <- newMetaKindVar ; tv <- new_tv name kind ; return (tv, False) } -- "False" means that these tyvars aren't yet in scope new_tv = case ctxt of RuleSigCtxt {} -> newSkolemTyVar _ -> newSigTyVar -- See Note [Pattern signature binders] -- See Note [Unifying SigTvs] mk_tv_pair tv = do { tv' <- zonkTcTyVarToTyVar tv ; return (tyVarName tv, tv') } -- The Name is one of sig_vars, the lexically scoped name -- But if it's a SigTyVar, it might have been unified -- with an existing in-scope skolem, so we must zonk -- here.

T a (a->Int) f (T x (f :: b->Int)) = blah Here * The pattern (T p1 p2) creates a *skolem* type variable 'a_sk', It must be a skolem so that that it retains its identity, and TcErrors.getSkolemInfo can thereby find the binding site for the skolem. * The type signature pattern (f :: b->Int) makes a fresh meta-tyvar b_sig (a SigTv), and binds "b" :-> b_sig in the envt * Then unification makes b_sig := a_sk That's why we must make b_sig a MetaTv (albeit a SigTv), not a SkolemTv, so that it can unify to a_sk. * Finally, in 'blah' we must have the envt "b" :-> a_sk. The pair ("b" :-> a_sk) is returned by tcHsPatSigType, constructed by mk_tv_pair in that function. Another example (Trac #13881): fl :: forall (l :: [a]). Sing l -> Sing l fl (SNil :: Sing (l :: [y])) = SNil When we reach the pattern signature, 'l' is in scope from the outer 'forall': "a" :-> a_sk :: * "l" :-> l_sk :: [a_sk] We make up a fresh meta-SigTv, y_sig, for 'y', and kind-check the pattern signature Sing (l :: [y]) That unifies y_sig := a_sk. We return from tcHsPatSigType with the pair ("y" :-> a_sk). For RULE binders, though, things are a bit different (yuk). RULE "foo" forall (x::a) (y::[a]). f x y = ... Here this really is the binding site of the type variable so we'd like to use a skolem, so that we get a complaint if we unify two of them together. Note [Unifying SigTvs] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ALAS we have no decent way of avoiding two SigTvs getting unified. Consider f (x::(a,b)) (y::c)) = [fst x, y] Here we'd really like to complain that 'a' and 'c' are unified. But for the reasons above we can't make a,b,c into skolems, so they are just SigTvs that can unify. And indeed, this would be ok, f x (y::c) = case x of (x1 :: a1, True) -> [x,y] (x1 :: a2, False) -> [x,y,y] Here the type of x's first component is called 'a1' in one branch and 'a2' in the other. We could try insisting on the same OccName, but they definitely won't have the sane lexical Name. I think we could solve this by recording in a SigTv a list of all the in-scope variables that it should not unify with, but it's fiddly. ************************************************************************ * * Checking kinds * * ************************************************************************ -} unifyKinds :: [LHsType GhcRn] -> [(TcType, TcKind)] -> TcM ([TcType], TcKind) unifyKinds rn_tys act_kinds = do { kind <- newMetaKindVar ; let check rn_ty (ty, act_kind) = checkExpectedKind (unLoc rn_ty) ty act_kind kind ; tys' <- zipWithM check rn_tys act_kinds ; return (tys', kind) } {- ************************************************************************ * * Sort checking kinds * * ************************************************************************ tcLHsKindSig converts a user-written kind to an internal, sort-checked kind.
