GHC.Core.TyCon

Synopsis

Main TyCon data types

data TyCon Source #

TyCons represent type constructors. Type constructors are introduced by things such as:

1) Data declarations: data Foo = ... creates the Foo type constructor of kind *

2) Type synonyms: type Foo = ... creates the Foo type constructor

3) Newtypes: newtype Foo a = MkFoo ... creates the Foo type constructor of kind * -> *

4) Class declarations: class Foo where creates the Foo type constructor of kind *

This data type also encodes a number of primitive, built in type constructors such as those for function and tuple types.

Constructors

AbstractTyCon

Says that we know nothing about this data type, except that it's represented by a pointer. Used when we export a data type abstractly into an .hi file.

DataTyCon

Information about those TyCons derived from a data declaration. This includes data types with no constructors at all.

Fields

  • data_cons :: [DataCon]

    The data type constructors; can be empty if the user declares the type to have no constructors

    INVARIANT: Kept in order of increasing DataCon tag (see the tag assignment in mkTyConTagMap)

  • data_cons_size :: Int

    Cached value: length data_cons

  • is_enum :: Bool

    Cached value: is this an enumeration type? See Note [Enumeration types]

TupleTyCon 

Fields

SumTyCon

An unboxed sum type.

Fields

  • data_cons :: [DataCon]

    The data type constructors; can be empty if the user declares the type to have no constructors

    INVARIANT: Kept in order of increasing DataCon tag (see the tag assignment in mkTyConTagMap)

  • data_cons_size :: Int

    Cached value: length data_cons

NewTyCon

Information about those TyCons derived from a newtype declaration

Fields

visibleDataCons :: AlgTyConRhs -> [DataCon] Source #

Both type classes as well as family instances imply implicit type constructors. These implicit type constructors refer to their parent structure (ie, the class or family from which they derive) using a type of the following form.

Extract those DataCons that we are able to learn about. Note that visibility in this sense does not correspond to visibility in the context of any particular user program!

data AlgTyConFlav Source #

Constructors

VanillaAlgTyCon TyConRepName

An ordinary type constructor has no parent.

UnboxedAlgTyCon (Maybe TyConRepName)

An unboxed type constructor. The TyConRepName is a Maybe since we currently don't allow unboxed sums to be Typeable since there are too many of them. See #13276.

ClassTyCon Class TyConRepName

Type constructors representing a class dictionary. See Note [ATyCon for classes] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep

DataFamInstTyCon (CoAxiom Unbranched) TyCon [Type]

Type constructors representing an *instance* of a *data* family. Parameters:

1) The type family in question

2) Instance types; free variables are the tyConTyVars of the current TyCon (not the family one). INVARIANT: the number of types matches the arity of the family TyCon

3) A CoTyCon identifying the representation type with the type instance family

data RuntimeRepInfo Source #

Some promoted datacons signify extra info relevant to GHC. For example, the IntRep constructor of RuntimeRep corresponds to the IntRep constructor of PrimRep. This data structure allows us to store this information right in the TyCon. The other approach would be to look up things like RuntimeRep's PrimRep by known-key every time. See also Note [Getting from RuntimeRep to PrimRep] in GHC.Types.RepType

Constructors

NoRRI

an ordinary promoted data con

RuntimeRep ([Type] -> [PrimRep])

A constructor of RuntimeRep. The argument to the function should be the list of arguments to the promoted datacon.

VecCount Int

A constructor of VecCount

VecElem PrimElemRep

-> TyCon 

Makes a tycon suitable for use during type-checking. It stores a variety of details about the definition of the TyCon, but no right-hand side. It lives only during the type-checking of a mutually-recursive group of tycons; it is then zonked to a proper TyCon in zonkTcTyCon. See also Note [Kind checking recursive type and class declarations] in GHC.Tc.TyCl.

noTcTyConScopedTyVars :: [(Name, TcTyVar)] Source #

No scoped type variables (to be used with mkTcTyCon).

Predicates on TyCons

isAlgTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Returns True if the supplied TyCon resulted from either a data or newtype declaration

isVanillaAlgTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Returns True for vanilla AlgTyCons -- that is, those created with a data or newtype declaration.

isConstraintKindCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Returns True for the TyCon of the Constraint kind.

isClassTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this TyCon that for a class instance?

isFamInstTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this TyCon that for a data family instance?

isPrimTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Does this TyCon represent something that cannot be defined in Haskell?

isTupleTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Does this TyCon represent a tuple?

NB: when compiling Data.Tuple, the tycons won't reply True to isTupleTyCon, because they are built as AlgTyCons. However they get spat into the interface file as tuple tycons, so I don't think it matters.

isUnboxedTupleTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this the TyCon for an unboxed tuple?

isBoxedTupleTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this the TyCon for a boxed tuple?

isUnboxedSumTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this the TyCon for an unboxed sum?

isPromotedTupleTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this the TyCon for a promoted tuple?

isTypeSynonymTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this a TyCon representing a regular H98 type synonym (type)?

mustBeSaturated :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

True iff we can decompose (T a b c) into ((T a b) c) I.e. is it injective and generative w.r.t nominal equality? That is, if (T a b) ~N d e f, is it always the case that (T ~N d), (a ~N e) and (b ~N f)? Specifically NOT true of synonyms (open and otherwise)

It'd be unusual to call mustBeSaturated on a regular H98 type synonym, because you should probably have expanded it first But regardless, it's not decomposable

isPromotedDataCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this a PromotedDataCon?

isPromotedDataCon_maybe :: TyCon -> Maybe DataCon Source #

Retrieves the promoted DataCon if this is a PromotedDataCon;

isKindTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this tycon really meant for use at the kind level? That is, should it be permitted without -XDataKinds?

isDataTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Returns True for data types that are definitely represented by heap-allocated constructors. These are scrutinised by Core-level case expressions, and they get info tables allocated for them.

Generally, the function will be true for all data types and false for newtypes, unboxed tuples, unboxed sums and type family TyCons. But it is not guaranteed to return True in all cases that it could.

NB: for a data type family, only the instance TyCons get an info table. The family declaration TyCon does not

isEnumerationTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this an algebraic TyCon which is just an enumeration of values?

isNewTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this TyCon that for a newtype

isAbstractTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Test if the TyCon is algebraic but abstract (invisible data constructors)

Is this a TyCon, synonym or otherwise, that defines a family?

isOpenFamilyTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this a TyCon, synonym or otherwise, that defines a family with instances?

Is this a synonym TyCon that can have may have further instances appear?

isOpenTypeFamilyTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this an open type family TyCon?

isClosedSynFamilyTyConWithAxiom_maybe :: TyCon -> Maybe (CoAxiom Branched) Source #

Is this a non-empty closed type family? Returns Nothing for abstract or empty closed families.

tyConInjectivityInfo :: TyCon -> Injectivity Source #

tyConInjectivityInfo tc returns Injective is is tc is an injective tycon (where is states for which tyConBinders tc is injective), or NotInjective otherwise.

isUnliftedTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this TyCon unlifted (i.e. cannot contain bottom)? Note that this can only be true for primitive and unboxed-tuple TyCons

isGadtSyntaxTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this an algebraic TyCon declared with the GADT syntax?

isInjectiveTyCon :: TyCon -> Role -> Bool Source #

isInjectiveTyCon is true of TyCons for which this property holds (where X is the role passed in): If (T a1 b1 c1) ~X (T a2 b2 c2), then (a1 ~X1 a2), (b1 ~X2 b2), and (c1 ~X3 c2) (where X1, X2, and X3, are the roles given by tyConRolesX tc X) See also Note [Decomposing equality] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical

isGenerativeTyCon :: TyCon -> Role -> Bool Source #

isGenerativeTyCon is true of TyCons for which this property holds (where X is the role passed in): If (T tys ~X t), then (t's head ~X T). See also Note [Decomposing equality] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical

Is this an AlgTyConRhs of a TyCon that is generative and injective with respect to representational equality?

Is this TyCon for an associated type?

Get the enclosing class TyCon (if there is one) for the given TyCon.

tyConFlavourAssoc_maybe :: TyConFlavour -> Maybe TyCon Source #

Get the enclosing class TyCon (if there is one) for the given TyConFlavour

isImplicitTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Identifies implicit tycons that, in particular, do not go into interface files (because they are implicitly reconstructed when the interface is read).

Note that:

  • Associated families are implicit, as they are re-constructed from the class declaration in which they reside, and
  • Family instances are not implicit as they represent the instance body (similar to a dfun does that for a class instance).
  • Tuples are implicit iff they have a wired-in name (namely: boxed and unboxed tuples are wired-in and implicit, but constraint tuples are not)

isTyConWithSrcDataCons :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Check if the tycon actually refers to a proper `data` or `newtype` with user defined constructors rather than one from a class or other construction.

isTcTyCon :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Is this a TcTyCon? (That is, one only used during type-checking?)

isTcLevPoly :: TyCon -> Bool Source #

Could this TyCon ever be levity-polymorphic when fully applied? True is safe. False means we're sure. Does only a quick check based on the TyCon's category. Precondition: The fully-applied TyCon has kind (TYPE blah)

If the TyCon has more than one constructor, or represents a primitive or function type constructor then Nothing is returned. In any other case, the function panics
