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.

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 #

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

type TyVarBinder = TyVarBndr TyVar ArgFlag Source #

Type Variable Binder

A TyVarBinder is the binder of a ForAllTy It's convenient to define this synonym here rather its natural home in TyCoRep, because it's used in DataCon.hs-boot

binderVar :: TyVarBndr tv argf -> tv Source #

binderVars :: [TyVarBndr tv argf] -> [tv] Source #

binderArgFlag :: TyVarBndr tv argf -> argf Source #

binderKind :: TyVarBndr TyVar argf -> Kind Source #

isVisibleArgFlag :: ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Does this ArgFlag classify an argument that is written in Haskell?

isInvisibleArgFlag :: ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Does this ArgFlag classify an argument that is not written in Haskell?

sameVis :: ArgFlag -> ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Do these denote the same level of visibility? Required arguments are visible, others are not. So this function equates Specified and Inferred. Used for printing.

mkTyVarBinder :: ArgFlag -> Var -> TyVarBinder Source #

Make a named binder

mkTyVarBinders :: ArgFlag -> [TyVar] -> [TyVarBinder] Source #

Make many named binders
