Var

Contents

The main data type and synonyms

Description

GHC uses several kinds of name internally:

OccName: see OccName
RdrName: see RdrName
Name: see Name
Id: see Id
Var is a synonym for the Id type but it may additionally potentially contain type variables, which have a Kind rather than a Type and only contain some extra details during typechecking.

These Var names may either be global or local, see Var

Global Ids and Vars are those that are imported or correspond to a data constructor, primitive operation, or record selectors. Local Ids 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 #

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

Taking `Var`s apart

varName :: Var -> Name Source #

varUnique :: Var -> Unique Source #

varType :: Var -> Kind Source #

The type or kind of the Var in question

Modifying `Var`s

setVarName :: Var -> Name -> Var Source #

setVarUnique :: Var -> Unique -> Var Source #

setVarType :: Id -> Type -> Id Source #

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

Constructing, taking apart, modifying `Id`s

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

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

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

Exported Vars will not be removed as dead code

idInfo :: Id -> IdInfo Source #

idDetails :: Id -> IdDetails Source #

lazySetIdInfo :: Id -> IdInfo -> Var Source #

setIdDetails :: Id -> IdDetails -> Id Source #

globaliseId :: Id -> Id Source #

If it's a local, make it global

setIdExported :: Id -> Id Source #

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

setIdNotExported :: Id -> Id Source #

We can only do this to LocalIds

Predicates

isId :: Var -> Bool Source #

isTKVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

isTyVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

isTcTyVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

isLocalVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

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

isLocalId :: Var -> Bool Source #

isCoVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

isNonCoVarId :: Var -> Bool Source #

isTyCoVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

isGlobalId :: Var -> Bool Source #

isExportedId :: Var -> Bool Source #

isExportedIdVar means "don't throw this away"

mustHaveLocalBinding :: Var -> Bool Source #

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