GHC.Types.Var

Description

GHC uses several kinds of name internally:

These Var names may either be global or local, see GHC.Types.Var

Global Vars and Vars are those that are imported or correspond to a data constructor, primitive operation, or record selectors. Local Vars and Vars are those bound within an expression (e.g. by a lambda) or at the top level of the module being compiled.

Synopsis

The main data type and synonyms

data Var Source #

Variable

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

Taking Vars apart

varType :: Var -> Kind Source #

The type or kind of the Var in question

Modifying Vars

updateVarType :: (Type -> Type) -> Var -> Var Source #

Update a Vars type. Does not update the multiplicity stored in an Var, if any. Because of the possibility for abuse, ASSERTs that there is no multiplicity to update.

updateVarTypeM :: Monad m => (Type -> m Type) -> Var -> m Var Source #

Update a Vars type monadically. Does not update the multiplicity stored in an Var, if any. Because of the possibility for abuse, ASSERTs that there is no multiplicity to update.

Constructing, taking apart, modifying Vars

mkExportedLocalVar :: IdDetails -> Name -> Type -> IdInfo -> Id Source #

Exported Vars will not be removed as dead code

globaliseId :: Id -> Id Source #

If it's a local, make it global

setIdExported :: Id -> Id Source #

Exports the given local Var. Can also be called on global Vars, such as data constructors and class operations, which are born as global Vars and automatically exported

setIdNotExported :: Id -> Id Source #

We can only do this to LocalIds

updateIdTypeAndMultM :: Monad m => (Type -> m Type) -> Id -> m Id Source #

Predicates

isId :: Var -> Bool Source #

Is this a value-level (i.e., computationally relevant) Varentifier? Satisfies isId = not . isTyVar.

isTyVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

Is this a type-level (i.e., computationally irrelevant, thus erasable) variable? Satisfies isTyVar = not . isId.

isLocalVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

isLocalVar returns True for type variables as well as local Vars These are the variables that we need to pay attention to when finding free variables, or doing dependency analysis.

isCoVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

Is this a coercion variable? Satisfies isId v ==> isCoVar v == not (isNonCoVarId v).

isNonCoVarId :: Var -> Bool Source #

Is this a term variable (Var) that is not a coercion variable? Satisfies isId v ==> isCoVar v == not (isNonCoVarId v).

isExportedId :: Var -> Bool Source #

isExportedIdVar means "don't throw this away"

mustHaveLocalBinding :: Var -> Bool Source #

mustHaveLocalBinding returns True of Vars and Vars that must have a binding in this module. The converse is not quite right: there are some global Vars that must have bindings, such as record selectors. But that doesn't matter, because it's only used for assertions

ArgFlags

data ArgFlag Source #

Argument Flag

Is something required to appear in source Haskell (Required), permitted by request (Specified) (visible type application), or prohibited entirely from appearing in source Haskell (Inferred)? See Note [VarBndrs, TyCoVarBinders, TyConBinders, and visibility] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep

data AnonArgFlag Source #

The non-dependent version of ArgFlag. See Note [AnonArgFlag] Appears here partly so that it's together with its friends ArgFlag and ForallVisFlag, but also because it is used in IfaceType, rather early in the compilation chain

Constructors

VisArg

Used for (->): an ordinary non-dependent arrow. The argument is visible in source code.

InvisArg

Used for (=>): a non-dependent predicate arrow. The argument is invisible in source code.

nonDetCmpVar :: Var -> Var -> Ordering Source #

Compare Vars by their Uniques. This is what Ord Var does, provided here to make it explicit at the call-site that it can introduce non-determinism. See Note [Unique Determinism]
