GHC.Types.Name
Description
GHC uses several kinds of name internally:
OccName: see GHC.Types.Name.OccurrenceRdrName: see GHC.Types.Name.ReaderNameis the type of names that have had their scoping and binding resolved. They have anOccNamebut also aUniquethat disambiguates Names that have the sameOccNameand indeed is used for allNamecomparison. Names also contain information about where they originated from, see GHC.Types.NameId: see GHC.Types.IdVar: see GHC.Types.Var
- External, if they name things declared in other modules. Some external Names are wired in, i.e. they name primitives defined in the compiler itself
- Internal, if they name things in the module being compiled. Some internal Names are system names, if they are names manufactured by the compiler

Creating Names
mkSystemVarName :: Unique -> FastString -> Name Source #
mkSysTvName :: Unique -> FastString -> Name Source #
mkExternalName :: Unique -> Module -> OccName -> SrcSpan -> Name Source #
Create a name which definitely originates in the given module
mkWiredInName :: Module -> OccName -> Unique -> TyThing -> BuiltInSyntax -> Name Source #
Create a name which is actually defined by the compiler itself
Manipulating and deconstructing Names
nameUnique :: Name -> Unique Source #
nameOccName :: Name -> OccName Source #
nameNameSpace :: Name -> NameSpace Source #
nameModule :: HasDebugCallStack => Name -> Module Source #
localiseName :: Name -> Name Source #
Make the Name into an internal name, regardless of what it was to begin with
nameSrcLoc :: Name -> SrcLoc Source #
nameSrcSpan :: Name -> SrcSpan Source #
pprNameDefnLoc :: Name -> SDoc Source #
pprDefinedAt :: Name -> SDoc Source #
Predicates on Names
isSystemName :: Name -> Bool Source #
isInternalName :: Name -> Bool Source #
isExternalName :: Name -> Bool Source #
isTyVarName :: Name -> Bool Source #
isTyConName :: Name -> Bool Source #
isDataConName :: Name -> Bool Source #
isDynLinkName :: Platform -> Module -> Name -> Bool Source #
Will the Name come from a dynamically linked package?
isWiredInName :: Name -> Bool Source #
isWiredIn :: NamedThing thing => thing -> Bool Source #
isBuiltInSyntax :: Name -> Bool Source #
isHoleName :: Name -> Bool Source #
nameIsLocalOrFrom :: Module -> Name -> Bool Source #
Returns True if the name is
(a) Internal
(b) External but from the specified module
(c) External but from the interactive package
The key idea is that False means: the entity is defined in some other module you can find the details (type, fixity, instances) in some interface file those details will be stored in the EPT or HPT
True means: the entity is defined in this module or earlier in the GHCi session you can find details (type, fixity, instances) in the TcGblEnv or TcLclEnv
The isInteractiveModule part is because successive interactions of a GHCi session
each give rise to a fresh module (Ghci1, Ghci2, etc), but they all come
from the magic interactive package; and all the details are kept in the
TcLclEnv, TcGblEnv, NOT in the HPT or EPT.
See Note [The interactive package] in GHC.Runtime.Context
nameIsFromExternalPackage :: HomeUnit -> Name -> Bool Source #
Returns True if the Name comes from some other package: neither this package nor the interactive package.
stableNameCmp :: Name -> Name -> Ordering Source #
Compare Names lexicographically This only works for Names that originate in the source code or have been tidied.
Class NamedThing and overloaded friends
class NamedThing a where Source #
A class allowing convenient access to the Name of various datatypes
