\subsection{Wired in Ids}

%************************************************************************
Note [Wiredin Ids]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several reasons why an Id might appear in the wiredInIds:
(1) The ghcPrimIds are wired in because they can't be defined in
Haskell at all, although the can be defined in Core. They have
compulsory unfoldings, so they are always inlined and they have
no definition site. Their home module is GHC.Prim, so they
also have a description in primops.txt.pp, where they are called
'pseudoops'.
(2) The 'error' function, eRROR_ID, is wired in because we don't yet have
a way to express in an interface file that the result type variable
is 'open'; that is can be unified with an unboxed type
[The interface file format now carry such information, but there's
no way yet of expressing at the definition site for these
errorreporting functions that they have an 'open'
result type.
(3) Other error functions (rUNTIME_ERROR_ID) are wired in (a) because
the desugarer generates code that mentiones them directly, and
(b) for the same reason as eRROR_ID
(4) lazyId is wired in because the wiredin version overrides the
strictness of the version defined in GHC.Base
In cases (24), the function has a definition in a library module, and
can be called; but the wiredin version means that the details are
never read from that module's interface file; instead, the full definition
is right here.
\begin{code}
wiredInIds :: [Id]
wiredInIds
= [lazyId]
++ errorIds
++ ghcPrimIds
ghcPrimIds :: [Id]
ghcPrimIds
= [
realWorldPrimId,
unsafeCoerceId,
nullAddrId,
seqId
]
\end{code}

\subsection{Data constructors}
%* *
%************************************************************************
The wrapper for a constructor is an ordinary toplevel binding that evaluates
any strict args, unboxes any args that are going to be flattened, and calls
the worker.
We're going to build a constructor that looks like:
data (Data a, C b) => T a b = T1 !a !Int b
T1 = /\ a b ->
\d1::Data a, d2::C b ->
\p q r -> case p of { p ->
case q of { q ->
Con T1 [a,b] [p,q,r]}}
Notice that
* d2 is thrown away
one *could* construct dictionaries at the site the constructor
is used, but the dictionary isn't actually used.
* We have to check that we can construct Data dictionaries for
the types a and Int. Once we've done that we can throw d1 away too.
* We use (case p of q -> ...) to evaluate p, rather than "seq" because
all that matters is that the arguments are evaluated. "seq" is
very careful to preserve evaluation order, which we don't need
to be here.
You might think that we could simply give constructors some strictness
info, like PrimOps, and let CoreToStg do the lettocase transformation.
But we don't do that because in the case of primops and functions strictness
is a *property* not a *requirement*. In the case of constructors we need to
do something active to evaluate the argument.
Making an explicit case expression allows the simplifier to eliminate
it in the (common) case where the constructor arg is already evaluated.
Note [Wrappers for data instance tycons]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the case of data instances, the wrapper also applies the coercion turning
the representation type into the family instance type to cast the result of
the wrapper. For example, consider the declarations
data family Map k :: * -> *
data instance Map (a, b) v = MapPair (Map a (Pair b v))
The tycon to which the datacon MapPair belongs gets a unique internal
name of the form :R123Map, and we call it the representation tycon.
In contrast, Map is the family tycon (accessible via
tyConFamInst_maybe). A coercion allows you to move between
representation and family type. It is accessible from :R123Map via
tyConFamilyCoercion_maybe and has kind
Co123Map a b v :: {Map (a, b) v ~ :R123Map a b v}
The wrapper and worker of MapPair get the types
$WMapPair :: forall a b v. Map a (Map a b v) -> Map (a, b) v
$WMapPair a b v = MapPair a b v `cast` sym (Co123Map a b v)
MapPair :: forall a b v. Map a (Map a b v) -> :R123Map a b v
This coercion is conditionally applied by wrapFamInstBody.
It's a bit more complicated if the data instance is a GADT as well!
data instance T [a] where
T1 :: forall b. b -> T [Maybe b]
Hence we translate to
$WT1 :: forall b. b -> T [Maybe b]
$WT1 b v = T1 (Maybe b) b (Maybe b) v
`cast` sym (Co7T (Maybe b))
T1 :: forall c b. (c ~ Maybe b) => b -> :R7T c
Co7T a :: T [a] ~ :R7T a

Note [Newtype datacons]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "data constructor" for a newtype should always be vanilla. At one
point this wasn't true, because the newtype arising from
class C a => D a
looked like
newtype T:D a = D:D (C a)
so the data constructor for T:C had a single argument, namely the
predicate (C a). But now we treat that as an ordinary argument, not
part of the thetatype, so all is well.

\subsection{Dictionary selectors}
%* *
%************************************************************************
Selecting a field for a dictionary. If there is just one field, then
there's nothing to do.
Dictionary selectors may get nested foralltypes. Thus:
class Foo a where
op :: forall b. Ord b => a -> b -> b
Then the toplevel type for op is
op :: forall a. Foo a =>
forall b. Ord b =>
a -> b -> b
This is unlike ordinary record selectors, which have all the foralls
at the outside. When dealing with classes it's very convenient to
recover the original type signature from the class op selector.

\subsection{DictFuns and default methods}
%* *
%************************************************************************
Important notes about dict funs and default methods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dict funs and default methods are *not* ImplicitIds. Their definition
involves userwritten code, so we can't figure out their strictness etc
based on fixed info, as we can for constructors and record selectors (say).
We build them as LocalIds, but with External Names. This ensures that
they are taken to account by freevariable finding and dependency
analysis (e.g. CoreFVs.exprFreeVars).
Why shouldn't they be bound as GlobalIds? Because, in particular, if
they are globals, the specialiser floats dict uses above their defns,
which prevents good simplifications happening. Also the strictness
analyser treats a occurrence of a GlobalId as imported and assumes it
contains strictness in its IdInfo, which isn't true if the thing is
bound in the same module as the occurrence.
It's OK for dfuns to be LocalIds, because we form the instanceenv to
pass on to the next module (md_insts) in CoreTidy, afer tidying
and globalising the toplevel Ids.
BUT make sure they are *exported* LocalIds (mkExportedLocalId) so
that they aren't discarded by the occurrence analyser.
\begin{code}
mkDefaultMethodId :: Id
-> Name
-> Id
mkDefaultMethodId sel_id dm_name = mkExportedLocalId dm_name (idType sel_id)
mkDictFunId :: Name
-> [TyVar]
-> ThetaType
-> Class
-> [Type]
-> Id
mkDictFunId dfun_name inst_tyvars dfun_theta clas inst_tys
= mkExportedLocalVar (DFunId is_nt) dfun_name dfun_ty vanillaIdInfo
where
is_nt = isNewTyCon (classTyCon clas)
dfun_ty = mkSigmaTy inst_tyvars dfun_theta (mkDictTy clas inst_tys)
\end{code}
%************************************************************************

\subsection{Undefinable}
%* *
%************************************************************************
These Ids can't be defined in Haskell. They could be defined in
unfoldings in the wiredin GHC.Prim interface file, but we'd have to
ensure that they were definitely, definitely inlined, because there is
no curried identifier for them. That's what mkCompulsoryUnfolding
does. If we had a way to get a compulsory unfolding from an interface
file, we could do that, but we don't right now.
unsafeCoerce# isn't so much a PrimOp as a phantom identifier, that
just gets expanded into a type coercion wherever it occurs. Hence we
add it as a builtin Id with an unfolding here.
The type variables we use here are "open" type variables: this means
they can unify with both unlifted and lifted types. Hence we provide
another gun with which to shoot yourself in the foot.

Note [seqId magic]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'GHC.Prim.seq' is special in several ways.
a) Its second arg can have an unboxed type
x `seq` (v +# w)
b) Its fixity is set in LoadIface.ghcPrimIface
c) It has quite a bit of desugaring magic.
See DsUtils.lhs Note [Desugaring seq (1)] and (2) and (3)
d) There is some special rule handing: Note [Userdefined RULES for seq]
e) See Note [Typing rule for seq] in TcExpr.
Note [Userdefined RULES for seq]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roman found situations where he had
case (f n) of _ -> e
where he knew that f (which was strict in n) would terminate if n did.
Notice that the result of (f n) is discarded. So it makes sense to
transform to
case n of _ -> e
Rather than attempt some general analysis to support this, I've added
enough support that you can do this using a rewrite rule:
RULE "f/seq" forall n. seq (f n) e = seq n e
You write that rule. When GHC sees a case expression that discards
its result, it mentally transforms it to a call to 'seq' and looks for
a RULE. (This is done in Simplify.rebuildCase.) As usual, the
correctness of the rule is up to you.
To make this work, we need to be careful that the magical desugaring
done in Note [seqId magic] item (c) is *not* done on the LHS of a rule.
Or rather, we arrange to undo it, in DsBinds.decomposeRuleLhs.
Note [Builtin RULES for seq]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also have the following builtin rule for seq
seq (x `cast` co) y = seq x y
This eliminates unnecessary casts and also allows other seq rules to
match more often. Notably,
seq (f x `cast` co) y --> seq (f x) y
and now a userdefined rule for seq (see Note [Userdefined RULES for seq])
may fire.
Note [lazyId magic]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lazy :: forall a?. a? -> a? (i.e. works for unboxed types too)
Used to lazify pseq: pseq a b = a `seq` lazy b
Also, no strictness: by being a builtin Id, all the info about lazyId comes from here,
not from GHC.Base.hi. This is important, because the strictness
analyser will spot it as strict!
Also no unfolding in lazyId: it gets "inlined" by a HACK in CorePrep.
It's very important to do this inlining *after* unfoldings are exposed
in the interface file. Otherwise, the unfolding for (say) pseq in the
interface file will not mention 'lazy', so if we inline 'pseq' we'll totally
miss the very thing that 'lazy' was there for in the first place.
See Trac #3259 for a real world example.
lazyId is defined in GHC.Base, so we don't *have* to inline it. If it
appears unapplied, we'll end up just calling it.
@realWorld#@ used to be a magic literal, \tr{void#}. If things get
nasty asis, change it back to a literal (@Literal@).
voidArgId is a Local Id used simply as an argument in functions
where we just want an arg to avoid having a thunk of unlifted type.
E.g.
x = \ void :: State# RealWorld -> (# p, q #)
This comes up in strictness analysis
\begin{code}
realWorldPrimId :: Id
realWorldPrimId
= pcMiscPrelId realWorldName realWorldStatePrimTy
(noCafIdInfo `setUnfoldingInfo` evaldUnfolding)
voidArgId :: Id
voidArgId
= mkSysLocal (fsLit "void") voidArgIdKey realWorldStatePrimTy
\end{code}
\begin{code}
pcMiscPrelId :: Name -> Type -> IdInfo -> Id
pcMiscPrelId name ty info
= mkVanillaGlobalWithInfo name ty info
\end{code}
