\section[TcType]{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

The "tc" prefix is for "TypeChecker", because the type checker
is the principal client.

The type checker divides the generic Type world into the
following more structured beasts:

sigma ::= forall tyvars. phi
        -- A sigma type is a qualified type
        --
        -- Note that even if 'tyvars' is empty, theta
        -- may not be: e.g.   (?x::Int) => Int

        -- Note that 'sigma' is in prenex form:
        -- all the foralls are at the front.
        -- A 'phi' type has no foralls to the right of
        -- an arrow

phi :: theta => rho

rho ::= sigma -> rho
     |  tau

-- A 'tau' type has no quantification anywhere
-- Note that the args of a type constructor must be taus
tau ::= tyvar
     |  tycon tau_1 .. tau_n
     |  tau_1 tau_2
     |  tau_1 -> tau_2

-- In all cases, a (saturated) type synonym application is legal,
-- provided it expands to the required form.

Note [TcTyVars and TyVars in the typechecker]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The typechecker uses a lot of type variables with special properties,
notably being a unification variable with a mutable reference.  These
use the 'TcTyVar' variant of Var.Var.

Note, though, that a /bound/ type variable can (and probably should)
be a TyVar.  E.g
    forall a. a -> a
Here 'a' is really just a deBruijn-number; it certainly does not have
a signficant TcLevel (as every TcTyVar does).  So a forall-bound type
variable should be TyVars; and hence a TyVar can appear free in a TcType.

The type checker and constraint solver can also encounter /free/ type
variables that use the 'TyVar' variant of Var.Var, for a couple of
reasons:

  - When typechecking a class decl, say
       class C (a :: k) where
          foo :: T a -> Int
    We have first kind-check the header; fix k and (a:k) to be
    TyVars, bring 'k' and 'a' into scope, and kind check the
    signature for 'foo'.  In doing so we call solveEqualities to
    solve any kind equalities in foo's signature.  So the solver
    may see free occurrences of 'k'.

    See calls to tcExtendTyVarEnv for other places that ordinary
    TyVars are bought into scope, and hence may show up in the types
    and kinds generated by TcHsType.

  - The pattern-match overlap checker calls the constraint solver,
    long afer TcTyVars have been zonked away

It's convenient to simply treat these TyVars as skolem constants,
which of course they are.  We give them a level number of "outermost",
so they behave as global constants.  Specifically:

* Var.tcTyVarDetails succeeds on a TyVar, returning
  vanillaSkolemTv, as well as on a TcTyVar.

* tcIsTcTyVar returns True for both TyVar and TcTyVar variants
  of Var.Var.  The "tc" prefix means "a type variable that can be
  encountered by the typechecker".

This is a bit of a change from an earlier era when we remoselessly
insisted on real TcTyVars in the type checker.  But that seems
unnecessary (for skolems, TyVars are fine) and it's now very hard
to guarantee, with the advent of kind equalities.

Note [Coercion variables in free variable lists]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several places in the GHC codebase where functions like
tyCoVarsOfType, tyCoVarsOfCt, et al. are used to compute the free type
variables of a type. The "Co" part of these functions' names shouldn't be
dismissed, as it is entirely possible that they will include coercion variables
in addition to type variables! As a result, there are some places in TcType
where we must take care to check that a variable is a _type_ variable (using
isTyVar) before calling tcTyVarDetails--a partial function that is not defined
for coercion variables--on the variable. Failing to do so led to
GHC Trac #12785.

************************************************************************

TyVarDetails gives extra info about type variables, used during type
checking.  It's attached to mutable type variables only.
It's knot-tied back to Var.hs.  There is no reason in principle
why Var.hs shouldn't actually have the definition, but it "belongs" here.

Note [Signature skolems]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A TyVarTv is a specialised variant of TauTv, with the following invarints:

    * A TyVarTv can be unified only with a TyVar,
      not with any other type

    * Its MetaDetails, if filled in, will always be another TyVarTv
      or a SkolemTv

TyVarTvs are only distinguished to improve error messages.
Consider this

  data T (a:k1) = MkT (S a)
  data S (b:k2) = MkS (T b)

When doing kind inference on {S,T} we don't want *skolems* for k1,k2,
because they end up unifying; we want those TyVarTvs again.

Note [TyVars and TcTyVars during type checking]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Var type has constructors TyVar and TcTyVar.  They are used
as follows:

* TcTyVar: used /only/ during type checking.  Should never appear
  afterwards.  May contain a mutable field, in the MetaTv case.

* TyVar: is never seen by the constraint solver, except locally
  inside a type like (forall a. [a] ->[a]), where 'a' is a TyVar.
  We instantiate these with TcTyVars before exposing the type
  to the constraint solver.

I have swithered about the latter invariant, excluding TyVars from the
constraint solver.  It's not strictly essential, and indeed
(historically but still there) Var.tcTyVarDetails returns
vanillaSkolemTv for a TyVar.

But ultimately I want to seeparate Type from TcType, and in that case
we would need to enforce the separation.

Note [TcLevel and untouchable type variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Each unification variable (MetaTv)
  and each Implication
  has a level number (of type TcLevel)

* INVARIANTS.  In a tree of Implications,

    (ImplicInv) The level number (ic_tclvl) of an Implication is
                STRICTLY GREATER THAN that of its parent

    (SkolInv)   The level number of the skolems (ic_skols) of an
                Implication is equal to the level of the implication
                itself (ic_tclvl)

    (GivenInv)  The level number of a unification variable appearing
                in the 'ic_given' of an implication I should be
                STRICTLY LESS THAN the ic_tclvl of I

    (WantedInv) The level number of a unification variable appearing
                in the 'ic_wanted' of an implication I should be
                LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO the ic_tclvl of I
                See Note [WantedInv]

* A unification variable is *touchable* if its level number
  is EQUAL TO that of its immediate parent implication,
  and it is a TauTv or TyVarTv (but /not/ FlatMetaTv or FlatSkolTv)

Note [WantedInv]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why is WantedInv important?  Consider this implication, where
the constraint (C alpha[3]) disobeys WantedInv:

   forall[2] a. blah => (C alpha[3])
                        (forall[3] b. alpha[3] ~ b)

We can unify alpha:=b in the inner implication, because 'alpha' is
touchable; but then 'b' has excaped its scope into the outer implication.

Note [Skolem escape prevention]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We only unify touchable unification variables.  Because of
(WantedInv), there can be no occurrences of the variable further out,
so the unification can't cause the skolems to escape. Example:
     data T = forall a. MkT a (a->Int)
     f x (MkT v f) = length [v,x]
We decide (x::alpha), and generate an implication like
      [1]forall a. (a ~ alpha[0])
But we must not unify alpha:=a, because the skolem would escape.

For the cases where we DO want to unify, we rely on floating the
equality.   Example (with same T)
     g x (MkT v f) = x && True
We decide (x::alpha), and generate an implication like
      [1]forall a. (Bool ~ alpha[0])
We do NOT unify directly, bur rather float out (if the constraint
does not mention 'a') to get
      (Bool ~ alpha[0]) /\ [1]forall a.()
and NOW we can unify alpha.

The same idea of only unifying touchables solves another problem.
Suppose we had
   (F Int ~ uf[0])  /\  [1](forall a. C a => F Int ~ beta[1])
In this example, beta is touchable inside the implication. The
first solveSimpleWanteds step leaves 'uf' un-unified. Then we move inside
the implication where a new constraint
       uf  ~  beta
emerges. If we (wrongly) spontaneously solved it to get uf := beta,
the whole implication disappears but when we pop out again we are left with
(F Int ~ uf) which will be unified by our final zonking stage and
uf will get unified *once more* to (F Int).

Note [TcLevel assignment]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We arrange the TcLevels like this

   0   Top level
   1   First-level implication constraints
   2   Second-level implication constraints
   ...etc...

{- Note [anyRewritableTyVar must be role-aware]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
anyRewritableTyVar is used during kick-out from the inert set,
to decide if, given a new equality (a ~ ty), we should kick out
a constraint C.  Rather than gather free variables and see if 'a'
is among them, we instead pass in a predicate; this is just efficiency.

Moreover, consider
  work item:   [G] a ~R f b
  inert item:  [G] b ~R f a
We use anyRewritableTyVar to decide whether to kick out the inert item,
on the grounds that the work item might rewrite it. Well, 'a' is certainly
free in [G] b ~R f a.  But because the role of a type variable ('f' in
this case) is nominal, the work item can't actually rewrite the inert item.
Moreover, if we were to kick out the inert item the exact same situation
would re-occur and we end up with an infinite loop in which each kicks
out the other (Trac #14363).

{- Note [Expanding superclasses]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we expand superclasses, we use the following algorithm:

expand( so_far, pred ) returns the transitive superclasses of pred,
                               not including pred itself
 1. If pred is not a class constraint, return empty set
       Otherwise pred = C ts
 2. If C is in so_far, return empty set (breaks loops)
 3. Find the immediate superclasses constraints of (C ts)
 4. For each such sc_pred, return (sc_pred : expand( so_far+C, D ss )

Notice that

 * With normal Haskell-98 classes, the loop-detector will never bite,
   so we'll get all the superclasses.

 * Since there is only a finite number of distinct classes, expansion
   must terminate.

 * The loop breaking is a bit conservative. Notably, a tuple class
   could contain many times without threatening termination:
      (Eq a, (Ord a, Ix a))
   And this is try of any class that we can statically guarantee
   as non-recursive (in some sense).  For now, we just make a special
   case for tuples.  Something better would be cool.

Note [Lift equality constaints when quantifying]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can't quantify over a constraint (t1 ~# t2) because that isn't a
predicate type; see Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence]
in Type.hs.

So we have to 'lift' it to (t1 ~ t2).  Similarly (~R#) must be lifted
to Coercible.

This tiresome lifting is the reason that pick_me (in
pickQuantifiablePreds) returns a Maybe rather than a Bool.

Note [Quantifying over equality constraints]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Should we quantify over an equality constraint (s ~ t)?  In general, we don't.
Doing so may simply postpone a type error from the function definition site to
its call site.  (At worst, imagine (Int ~ Bool)).

However, consider this
         forall a. (F [a] ~ Int) => blah
Should we quantify over the (F [a] ~ Int)?  Perhaps yes, because at the call
site we will know 'a', and perhaps we have instance  F [Bool] = Int.
So we *do* quantify over a type-family equality where the arguments mention
the quantified variables.

Note [Inheriting implicit parameters]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this:

        f x = (x::Int) + ?y

where f is *not* a top-level binding.
From the RHS of f we'll get the constraint (?y::Int).
There are two types we might infer for f:

        f :: Int -> Int

(so we get ?y from the context of f's definition), or

        f :: (?y::Int) => Int -> Int

At first you might think the first was better, because then
?y behaves like a free variable of the definition, rather than
having to be passed at each call site.  But of course, the WHOLE
IDEA is that ?y should be passed at each call site (that's what
dynamic binding means) so we'd better infer the second.

BOTTOM LINE: when *inferring types* you must quantify over implicit
parameters, *even if* they don't mention the bound type variables.
Reason: because implicit parameters, uniquely, have local instance
declarations. See pickQuantifiablePreds.

Note [Visible type application]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GHC implements a generalisation of the algorithm described in the
"Visible Type Application" paper (available from
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~sweirich/publications.html). A key part
of that algorithm is to distinguish user-specified variables from inferred
variables. For example, the following should typecheck:

  f :: forall a b. a -> b -> b
  f = const id

  g = const id

  x = f @Int @Bool 5 False
  y = g 5 @Bool False

The idea is that we wish to allow visible type application when we are
instantiating a specified, fixed variable. In practice, specified, fixed
variables are either written in a type signature (or
annotation), OR are imported from another module. (We could do better here,
for example by doing SCC analysis on parts of a module and considering any
type from outside one's SCC to be fully specified, but this is very confusing to
users. The simple rule above is much more straightforward and predictable.)

So, both of f's quantified variables are specified and may be instantiated.
But g has no type signature, so only id's variable is specified (because id
is imported). We write the type of g as forall {a}. a -> forall b. b -> b.
Note that the a is in braces, meaning it cannot be instantiated with
visible type application.

Tracking specified vs. inferred variables is done conveniently by a field
in TyBinder.

given a (illegal) declaration like:

foreign import ccall "dynamic"
  foo :: FunPtr (CDouble -> IO ()) -> CInt -> IO ()

result type 'CInt -> IO ()', and return False, as they are not equal.

Note [Paterson conditions on PredTypes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are considering whether *class* constraints terminate
(see Note [Paterson conditions]). Precisely, the Paterson conditions
would have us check that "the constraint has fewer constructors and variables
(taken together and counting repetitions) than the head.".

However, we can be a bit more refined by looking at which kind of constraint
this actually is. There are two main tricks:

 1. It seems like it should be OK not to count the tuple type constructor
    for a PredType like (Show a, Eq a) :: Constraint, since we don't
    count the "implicit" tuple in the ThetaType itself.

    In fact, the Paterson test just checks *each component* of the top level
    ThetaType against the size bound, one at a time. By analogy, it should be
    OK to return the size of the *largest* tuple component as the size of the
    whole tuple.

 2. Once we get into an implicit parameter or equality we
    can't get back to a class constraint, so it's safe
    to say "size 0".  See Trac #4200.

NB: we don't want to detect PredTypes in sizeType (and then call
sizePred on them), or we might get an infinite loop if that PredType
is irreducible. See Trac #5581.
