GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType

Description

Types used in the typechecker

This module provides the Type interface for front-end parts of the compiler. These parts

  • treat "source types" as opaque: newtypes, and predicates are meaningful.
  • look through usage types
Synopsis

Documentation

type TcTyVar = Var Source #

Type variable that might be a metavariable

type KnotTied ty = ty Source #

A type labeled KnotTied might have knot-tied tycons in it. See Note [Type checking recursive type and class declarations] in GHC.Tc.TyCl

data ExpType Source #

An expected type to check against during type-checking. See Note [ExpType] in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcMType, where you'll also find manipulators.

mkCheckExpType :: TcType -> ExpType Source #

Make an ExpType suitable for checking.

data SyntaxOpType Source #

What to expect for an argument to a rebindable-syntax operator. Quite like Type, but allows for holes to be filled in by tcSyntaxOp. The callback called from tcSyntaxOp gets a list of types; the meaning of these types is determined by a left-to-right depth-first traversal of the SyntaxOpType tree. So if you pass in

SynAny `SynFun` (SynList `SynFun` SynType Int) `SynFun` SynAny

you'll get three types back: one for the first SynAny, the element type of the list, and one for the last SynAny. You don't get anything for the SynType, because you've said positively that it should be an Int, and so it shall be.

You'll also get three multiplicities back: one for each function arrow. See also Note [Linear types] in Multiplicity.

This is defined here to avoid defining it in GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr boot file.

Constructors

SynAny

Any type

SynRho

A rho type, skolemised or instantiated as appropriate

SynList

A list type. You get back the element type of the list

SynFun SyntaxOpType SyntaxOpType infixr 0

A function.

SynType ExpType

A known type.

mkInfSigmaTy :: [TyCoVar] -> [PredType] -> Type -> Type Source #

Make a sigma ty where all type variables are Inferred. That is, they cannot be used with visible type application.

mkSpecSigmaTy :: [TyVar] -> [PredType] -> Type -> Type Source #

Make a sigma ty where all type variables are "specified". That is, they can be used with visible type application

getTyVar :: String -> Type -> TyVar Source #

Attempts to obtain the type variable underlying a Type, and panics with the given message if this is not a type variable type. See also getTyVar_maybe

tcSplitForAllTyVars :: Type -> ([TyVar], Type) Source #

Like tcSplitPiTys, but splits off only named binders, returning just the tyvars.

tcSplitForAllInvisTyVars :: Type -> ([TyVar], Type) Source #

Like tcSplitForAllTyVars, but only splits ForAllTys with Invisible type variable binders.

tcSplitSomeForAllTyVars :: (ArgFlag -> Bool) -> Type -> ([TyVar], Type) Source #

Like tcSplitForAllTyVars, but only splits a ForAllTy if argf_pred argf is True, where argf is the visibility of the ForAllTy's binder and argf_pred is a predicate over visibilities provided as an argument to this function.

tcSplitForAllReqTVBinders :: Type -> ([TcReqTVBinder], Type) Source #

Like tcSplitForAllTyVars, but only splits ForAllTys with Required type variable binders. All split tyvars are annotated with ().

tcSplitForAllInvisTVBinders :: Type -> ([TcInvisTVBinder], Type) Source #

Like tcSplitForAllTyVars, but only splits ForAllTys with Invisible type variable binders. All split tyvars are annotated with their Specificity.

tcSplitPiTys :: Type -> ([TyBinder], Type) Source #

Splits a forall type into a list of TyBinders and the inner type. Always succeeds, even if it returns an empty list.

tcSplitPiTy_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (TyBinder, Type) Source #

Splits a type into a TyBinder and a body, if possible. Panics otherwise

tcSplitForAllTyVarBinders :: Type -> ([TyVarBinder], Type) Source #

Like tcSplitForAllTyVars, but splits off only named binders.

tcFunResultTyN :: HasDebugCallStack => Arity -> Type -> Type Source #

Strips off n *visible* arguments and returns the resulting type

tcSplitFunTysN :: Arity -> TcRhoType -> Either Arity ([Scaled TcSigmaType], TcSigmaType) Source #

Split off exactly the specified number argument types Returns (Left m) if there are m missing arrows in the type (Right (tys,res)) if the type looks like t1 -> ... -> tn -> res

tcSplitTyConApp_maybe :: HasCallStack => Type -> Maybe (TyCon, [Type]) Source #

Split a type constructor application into its type constructor and applied types. Note that this may fail in the case of a FunTy with an argument of unknown kind FunTy (e.g. FunTy (a :: k) Int. since the kind of a isn't of the form TYPE rep). Consequently, you may need to zonk your type before using this function.

This does *not* split types headed with (=>), as that's not a TyCon in the type-checker.

If you only need the TyCon, consider using tcTyConAppTyCon_maybe.

tcRepSplitAppTy_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (Type, Type) Source #

Does the AppTy split as in tcSplitAppTy_maybe, but assumes that any coreView stuff is already done. Refuses to look through (c => t)

tcRepGetNumAppTys :: Type -> Arity Source #

Returns the number of arguments in the given type, without looking through synonyms. This is used only for error reporting. We don't look through synonyms because of #11313.

tcGetCastedTyVar_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (TyVar, CoercionN) Source #

If the type is a tyvar, possibly under a cast, returns it, along with the coercion. Thus, the co is :: kind tv ~N kind type

tcSplitSigmaTy :: Type -> ([TyVar], ThetaType, Type) Source #

Split a sigma type into its parts. This only splits invisible type variable binders, as these are the only forms of binder that the typechecker will implicitly instantiate.

tcSplitNestedSigmaTys :: Type -> ([TyVar], ThetaType, Type) Source #

Split a sigma type into its parts, going underneath as many ForAllTys as possible. For example, given this type synonym:

type Traversal s t a b = forall f. Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

if you called tcSplitSigmaTy on this type:

forall s t a b. Each s t a b => Traversal s t a b

then it would return ([s,t,a,b], [Each s t a b], Traversal s t a b). But if you instead called tcSplitNestedSigmaTys on the type, it would return ([s,t,a,b,f], [Each s t a b, Applicative f], (a -> f b) -> s -> f t).

eqType :: Type -> Type -> Bool Source #

Type equality on source types. Does not look through newtypes or PredTypes, but it does look through type synonyms. This first checks that the kinds of the types are equal and then checks whether the types are equal, ignoring casts and coercions. (The kind check is a recursive call, but since all kinds have type Type, there is no need to check the types of kinds.) See also Note [Non-trivial definitional equality] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.

eqTypes :: [Type] -> [Type] -> Bool Source #

Type equality on lists of types, looking through type synonyms but not newtypes.

eqTypeX :: RnEnv2 -> Type -> Type -> Bool Source #

Compare types with respect to a (presumably) non-empty RnEnv2.

pickyEqType :: TcType -> TcType -> Bool Source #

Like pickyEqTypeVis, but returns a Bool for convenience

tcEqType :: HasDebugCallStack => TcType -> TcType -> Bool Source #

tcEqType implements typechecker equality, as described in Note [Typechecker equality vs definitional equality].

tcEqTypeNoKindCheck :: TcType -> TcType -> Bool Source #

Just like tcEqType, but will return True for types of different kinds as long as their non-coercion structure is identical.

tcEqTypeVis :: TcType -> TcType -> Bool Source #

Like tcEqType, but returns True if the visible part of the types are equal, even if they are really unequal (in the invisible bits)

tcEqTyConApps :: TyCon -> [Type] -> TyCon -> [Type] -> Bool Source #

Check whether two TyConApps are the same; if the number of arguments are different, just checks the common prefix of arguments.

isRhoExpTy :: ExpType -> Bool Source #

Like isRhoTy, but also says True for Infer types

isFloatingTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Does a type represent a floating-point number?

isStringTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Is a type String?

isCallStackTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Is a type a CallStack?

isCallStackPred :: Class -> [Type] -> Maybe FastString Source #

Is a PredType a CallStack implicit parameter?

If so, return the name of the parameter.

tcIsForAllTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Is this a ForAllTy with a named binder?

mkMinimalBySCs :: forall a. (a -> PredType) -> [a] -> [a] Source #

pickQuantifiablePreds :: TyVarSet -> TcThetaType -> TcThetaType Source #

When inferring types, should we quantify over a given predicate? Generally true of classes; generally false of equality constraints. Equality constraints that mention quantified type variables and implicit variables complicate the story. See Notes [Inheriting implicit parameters] and [Quantifying over equality constraints]

Finding type instances

tcTyFamInsts :: Type -> [(TyCon, [Type])] Source #

Finds outermost type-family applications occurring in a type, after expanding synonyms. In the list (F, tys) that is returned we guarantee that tys matches F's arity. For example, given type family F a :: * -> * (arity 1) calling tcTyFamInsts on (Maybe (F Int Bool) will return (F, [Int]), not (F, [Int,Bool])

This is important for its use in deciding termination of type instances (see #11581). E.g. type instance G [Int] = ...(F Int <big type>)... we don't need to take <big type> into account when asking if the calls on the RHS are smaller than the LHS

tcTyFamInstsAndVis :: Type -> [(Bool, TyCon, [Type])] Source #

Like tcTyFamInsts, except that the output records whether the type family and its arguments occur as an invisible argument in some type application. This information is useful because it helps GHC know when to turn on -fprint-explicit-kinds during error reporting so that users can actually see the type family being mentioned.

As an example, consider:

class C a
data T (a :: k)
type family F a :: k
instance C (T @(F Int) (F Bool))

There are two occurrences of the type family F in that C instance, so tcTyFamInstsAndVis (C (T @(F Int) (F Bool))) will return:

[ (True,  F, [Int])
, (False, F, [Bool]) ]

F Int is paired with True since it appears as an invisible argument to C, whereas F Bool is paired with False since it appears an a visible argument to C.

See also Note [Kind arguments in error messages] in GHC.Tc.Errors.

tcTyConAppTyFamInstsAndVis :: TyCon -> [Type] -> [(Bool, TyCon, [Type])] Source #

In an application of a TyCon to some arguments, find the outermost occurrences of type family applications within the arguments. This function will not consider the TyCon itself when checking for type family applications.

See tcTyFamInstsAndVis for more details on how this works (as this function is called inside of tcTyFamInstsAndVis).

isTyFamFree :: Type -> Bool Source #

Check that a type does not contain any type family applications.

Finding "exact" (non-dead) type variables

type Kind = Type Source #

The key type representing kinds in the compiler.

isLiftedTypeKind :: Kind -> Bool Source #

This version considers Constraint to be the same as *. Returns True if the argument is equivalent to Type/Constraint and False otherwise. See Note [Kind Constraint and kind Type]

isUnliftedTypeKind :: Kind -> Bool Source #

Returns True if the kind classifies unlifted types (like 'Int#') and False otherwise. Note that this returns False for levity-polymorphic kinds, which may be specialized to a kind that classifies unlifted types.

classifiesTypeWithValues :: Kind -> Bool Source #

Does this classify a type allowed to have values? Responds True to things like *, #, TYPE Lifted, TYPE v, Constraint.

True of any sub-kind of OpenTypeKind

type PredType = Type Source #

A type of the form p of constraint kind represents a value whose type is the Haskell predicate p, where a predicate is what occurs before the => in a Haskell type.

We use PredType as documentation to mark those types that we guarantee to have this kind.

It can be expanded into its representation, but:

  • The type checker must treat it as opaque
  • The rest of the compiler treats it as transparent

Consider these examples:

f :: (Eq a) => a -> Int
g :: (?x :: Int -> Int) => a -> Int
h :: (r\l) => {r} => {l::Int | r}

Here the Eq a and ?x :: Int -> Int and rl are all called "predicates"

type ThetaType = [PredType] Source #

A collection of PredTypes

data TyCoBinder Source #

A TyCoBinder represents an argument to a function. TyCoBinders can be dependent (Named) or nondependent (Anon). They may also be visible or not. See Note [TyCoBinders]

data TCvSubst Source #

Type & coercion substitution

The following invariants must hold of a TCvSubst:

  1. The in-scope set is needed only to guide the generation of fresh uniques
  2. In particular, the kind of the type variables in the in-scope set is not relevant
  3. The substitution is only applied ONCE! This is because in general such application will not reach a fixed point.

The goal of #11371 is to migrate all the calls of substCoUnchecked to substCo and remove this function. Please don't use in new code.

substTheta :: HasCallStack => TCvSubst -> ThetaType -> ThetaType Source #

Substitute within a ThetaType The substitution has to satisfy the invariants described in Note [The substitution invariant].

isUnliftedType :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Bool Source #

See Type for what an unlifted type is. Panics on levity polymorphic types; See mightBeUnliftedType for a more approximate predicate that behaves better in the presence of levity polymorphism.

isPrimitiveType :: Type -> Bool Source #

Returns true of types that are opaque to Haskell.

tcView :: Type -> Maybe Type Source #

Gives the typechecker view of a type. This unwraps synonyms but leaves Constraint alone. c.f. coreView, which turns Constraint into Type. Returns Nothing if no unwrapping happens. See also Note [coreView vs tcView]

coreView :: Type -> Maybe Type Source #

This function strips off the top layer only of a type synonym application (if any) its underlying representation type. Returns Nothing if there is nothing to look through. This function considers Constraint to be a synonym of Type.

By being non-recursive and inlined, this case analysis gets efficiently joined onto the case analysis that the caller is already doing

tyCoFVsOfType :: Type -> FV Source #

The worker for tyCoFVsOfType and tyCoFVsOfTypeList. The previous implementation used unionVarSet which is O(n+m) and can make the function quadratic. It's exported, so that it can be composed with other functions that compute free variables. See Note [FV naming conventions] in GHC.Utils.FV.

Eta-expanded because that makes it run faster (apparently) See Note [FV eta expansion] in GHC.Utils.FV for explanation.

tyCoVarsOfTypeDSet :: Type -> DTyCoVarSet Source #

tyCoFVsOfType that returns free variables of a type in a deterministic set. For explanation of why using VarSet is not deterministic see Note [Deterministic FV] in GHC.Utils.FV.

tyCoVarsOfTypesDSet :: [Type] -> DTyCoVarSet Source #

Returns free variables of types, including kind variables as a deterministic set. For type synonyms it does not expand the synonym.

closeOverKindsDSet :: DTyVarSet -> DTyVarSet Source #

Add the kind variables free in the kinds of the tyvars in the given set. Returns a deterministic set.

tyCoVarsOfTypeList :: Type -> [TyCoVar] Source #

tyCoFVsOfType that returns free variables of a type in deterministic order. For explanation of why using VarSet is not deterministic see Note [Deterministic FV] in GHC.Utils.FV.

tyCoVarsOfTypesList :: [Type] -> [TyCoVar] Source #

Returns free variables of types, including kind variables as a deterministically ordered list. For type synonyms it does not expand the synonym.

scopedSort :: [TyCoVar] -> [TyCoVar] Source #

Do a topological sort on a list of tyvars, so that binders occur before occurrences E.g. given [ a::k, k::*, b::k ] it'll return a well-scoped list [ k::*, a::k, b::k ]

This is a deterministic sorting operation (that is, doesn't depend on Uniques).

It is also meant to be stable: that is, variables should not be reordered unnecessarily. This is specified in Note [ScopedSort] See also Note [Ordering of implicit variables] in GHC.Rename.HsType

tcTyConVisibilities :: TyCon -> [Bool] Source #

For every arg a tycon can take, the returned list says True if the argument is taken visibly, and False otherwise. Ends with an infinite tail of Trues to allow for oversaturation.

isNextTyConArgVisible :: TyCon -> [Type] -> Bool Source #

If the tycon is applied to the types, is the next argument visible?

isNextArgVisible :: TcType -> Bool Source #

Should this type be applied to a visible argument?
