(e.g, data T a = T1 a deriving( Eq )) In this case, mb_wildcard = Nothing. - A standalone declaration with an extra-constraints wildcard (e.g., deriving instance _ => Eq (Foo a)) In this case, mb_wildcard = Just loc, where loc is the location of the extra-constraints wildcard. Here we must infer an instance context, and generate instance declaration instance Eq a => Eq (T a) where ... * SupplyContext theta: standalone deriving deriving instance Eq a => Eq (T a) Here we only need to fill in the bindings; the instance context (theta) is user-supplied For the InferContext case, we must figure out the instance context (inferConstraintsStock). Suppose we are inferring the instance context for C t1 .. tn (T s1 .. sm) There are two cases * (T s1 .. sm) :: * (the normal case) Then we behave like Eq and guess (C t1 .. tn t) for each data constructor arg of type t. More details below. * (T s1 .. sm) :: * -> * (the functor-like case) Then we behave like Functor. In both cases we produce a bunch of un-simplified constraints and them simplify them in simplifyInstanceContexts; see Note [Simplifying the instance context]. In the functor-like case, we may need to unify some kind variables with * in order for the generated instance to be well-kinded. An example from #10524: newtype Compose (f :: k2 -> *) (g :: k1 -> k2) (a :: k1) = Compose (f (g a)) deriving Functor Earlier in the deriving pipeline, GHC unifies the kind of Compose f g (k1 -> *) with the kind of Functor's argument (* -> *), so k1 := *. But this alone isn't enough, since k2 wasn't unified with *: instance (Functor (f :: k2 -> *), Functor (g :: * -> k2)) => Functor (Compose f g) where ... The two Functor constraints are ill-kinded. To ensure this doesn't happen, we: 1. Collect all of a datatype's subtypes which require functor-like constraints. 2. For each subtype, create a substitution by unifying the subtype's kind with (* -> *). 3. Compose all the substitutions into one, then apply that substitution to all of the in-scope type variables and the instance types. Note [Getting base classes] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Functor and Typeable are defined in package 'base', and that is not available when compiling 'ghc-prim'. So we must be careful that 'deriving' for stuff in ghc-prim does not use Functor or Typeable implicitly via these lookups. Note [Deriving and unboxed types] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We have some special hacks to support things like data T = MkT Int# deriving ( Show ) Specifically, we use GHC.Tc.Deriv.Generate.box to box the Int# into an Int (which we know how to show), and append a '#'. Parentheses are not required for unboxed values (`MkT -3#` is a valid expression). Note [Superclasses of derived instance] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In general, a derived instance decl needs the superclasses of the derived class too. So if we have data T a = ...deriving( Ord ) then the initial context for Ord (T a) should include Eq (T a). Often this is redundant; we'll also generate an Ord constraint for each constructor argument, and that will probably generate enough constraints to make the Eq (T a) constraint be satisfied too. But not always; consider: data S a = S instance Eq (S a) instance Ord (S a) data T a = MkT (S a) deriving( Ord ) instance Num a => Eq (T a) The derived instance for (Ord (T a)) must have a (Num a) constraint! Similarly consider: data T a = MkT deriving( Data ) Here there *is* no argument field, but we must nevertheless generate a context for the Data instances: instance Typeable a => Data (T a) where ... ************************************************************************ * * Finding the fixed point of deriving equations * * ************************************************************************ Note [Simplifying the instance context] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider data T a b = C1 (Foo a) (Bar b) | C2 Int (T b a) | C3 (T a a) deriving (Eq) We want to come up with an instance declaration of the form instance (Ping a, Pong b, ...) => Eq (T a b) where x == y = ... It is pretty easy, albeit tedious, to fill in the code "...". The trick is to figure out what the context for the instance decl is, namely Ping, Pong and friends. Let's call the context reqd for the T instance of class C at types (a,b, ...) C (T a b). Thus: Eq (T a b) = (Ping a, Pong b, ...) Now we can get a (recursive) equation from the data decl. This part is done by inferConstraintsStock. Eq (T a b) = Eq (Foo a) u Eq (Bar b) -- From C1 u Eq (T b a) u Eq Int -- From C2 u Eq (T a a) -- From C3 Foo and Bar may have explicit instances for Eq, in which case we can just substitute for them. Alternatively, either or both may have their Eq instances given by deriving clauses, in which case they form part of the system of equations. Now all we need do is simplify and solve the equations, iterating to find the least fixpoint. This is done by simplifyInstanceConstraints. Notice that the order of the arguments can switch around, as here in the recursive calls to T. Let's suppose Eq (Foo a) = Eq a, and Eq (Bar b) = Ping b. We start with: Eq (T a b) = {} -- The empty set Next iteration: Eq (T a b) = Eq (Foo a) u Eq (Bar b) -- From C1 u Eq (T b a) u Eq Int -- From C2 u Eq (T a a) -- From C3 After simplification: = Eq a u Ping b u {} u {} u {} = Eq a u Ping b Next iteration: Eq (T a b) = Eq (Foo a) u Eq (Bar b) -- From C1 u Eq (T b a) u Eq Int -- From C2 u Eq (T a a) -- From C3 After simplification: = Eq a u Ping b u (Eq b u Ping a) u (Eq a u Ping a) = Eq a u Ping b u Eq b u Ping a The next iteration gives the same result, so this is the fixpoint. We need to make a canonical form of the RHS to ensure convergence. We do this by simplifying the RHS to a form in which - the classes constrain only tyvars - the list is sorted by tyvar (major key) and then class (minor key) - no duplicates, of course Note [Deterministic simplifyInstanceContexts] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Canonicalisation uses nonDetCmpType which is nondeterministic. Sorting with nonDetCmpType puts the returned lists in a nondeterministic order. If we were to return them, we'd get class constraints in nondeterministic order. Consider: data ADT a b = Z a b deriving Eq The generated code could be either: instance (Eq a, Eq b) => Eq (Z a b) where Or: instance (Eq b, Eq a) => Eq (Z a b) where To prevent the order from being nondeterministic we only canonicalize when comparing and return them in the same order as simplifyDeriv returned them.

Hence, we instantiate the type variables using tcInstSkolTyVars, not tcInstSuperSkolTyVars. We do this skolemisation in GHC.Tc.Deriv.mkEqnHelp, a function which occurs very early in the deriving pipeline, so that by the time GHC needs to infer the instance context, all of the types in the computed DerivSpec have been skolemised appropriately. After the instance context inference has completed, GHC zonks the TcTyVars in the DerivSpec to ensure that types like a[sk:1] do not appear in -ddump-deriv output. All of this is only needed when inferring an instance context, i.e., the InferContext case. For the SupplyContext case, we don't bother skolemising at all. Note [Gathering and simplifying constraints for DeriveAnyClass] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DeriveAnyClass works quite differently from stock and newtype deriving in the way it gathers and simplifies constraints to be used in a derived instance's context. Stock and newtype deriving gather constraints by looking at the data constructors of the data type for which we are deriving an instance. But DeriveAnyClass doesn't need to know about a data type's definition at all! To see why, consider this example of DeriveAnyClass: class Foo a where bar :: forall b. Ix b => a -> b -> String default bar :: (Show a, Ix c) => a -> c -> String bar x y = show x ++ show (range (y,y)) baz :: Eq a => a -> a -> Bool default baz :: (Ord a, Show a) => a -> a -> Bool baz x y = compare x y == EQ Because 'bar' and 'baz' have default signatures, this generates a top-level definition for these generic default methods $gdm_bar :: forall a. Foo a => forall c. (Show a, Ix c) => a -> c -> String $gdm_bar x y = show x ++ show (range (y,y)) (and similarly for baz). Now consider a 'deriving' clause data Maybe s = ... deriving anyclass Foo This derives an instance of the form: instance (CX) => Foo (Maybe s) where bar = $gdm_bar baz = $gdm_baz Now it is GHC's job to fill in a suitable instance context (CX). If GHC were typechecking the binding bar = $gdm_bar it would * skolemise the expected type of bar * instantiate the type of $gdm_bar with meta-type variables * build an implication constraint [STEP DAC BUILD] So that's what we do. Fortunately, there is already functionality within GHC to that does all of the above—namely, tcSubTypeSigma. In the example above, we want to use tcSubTypeSigma to check the following subtyping relation: forall c. (Show a, Ix c) => Maybe s -> c -> String -- actual type <= forall b. (Ix b) => Maybe s -> b -> String -- expected type That is, we check that the type of $gdm_bar (the actual type) is more polymorphic than the type of bar (the expected type). We use SubTypePredSpec, a special form of PredSpec that is only used by DeriveAnyClass, to store the actual and expected types. (Aside: having a separate SubTypePredSpec is not strictly necessary, as we could theoretically construct this implication constraint by hand and store it in a SimplePredSpec. In fact, GHC used to do this. However, this is easier said than done, and there were numerous subtle bugs that resulted from getting this step wrong, such as #20719. Ultimately, we decided that special-casing a PredSpec specifically for DeriveAnyClass was worth it.) tcSubTypeSigma will ultimately spit out an implication constraint, which will look something like this (call it C1): forall[2] b. Ix b => (Show (Maybe s), Ix cc, Maybe s -> b -> String ~ Maybe s -> cc -> String) Here: * The level of this forall constraint is forall[2], because we are later going to wrap it in a forall[1] in [STEP DAC RESIDUAL] * The 'b' comes from the quantified type variable in the expected type of bar. The 'cc' is a unification variable that comes from instantiating the quantified type variable 'c' in $gdm_bar's type. The finer details of skolemisation and metavariable instantiation are handled behind the scenes by tcSubTypeSigma. * It is important that `b` be distinct from `cc`. In this example, this is clearly the case, but it is not always so obvious when the type variables are hidden behind type synonyms. Suppose the example were written like this, for example: type Method a = forall b. Ix b => a -> b -> String class Foo a where bar :: Method a default bar :: Show a => Method a bar = ... Both method signatures quantify a `b` once the `Method` type synonym is expanded. To ensure that GHC doesn't confuse the two `b`s during typechecking, tcSubTypeSigma instantiates the `b` in the original signature with a fresh skolem and the `b` in the default signature with a fresh unification variable. Doing so prevents #20719 from happening. * The (Ix b) constraint comes from the context of bar's type. The (Show (Maybe s)) and (Ix cc) constraints come from the context of $gdm_bar's type. * The equality constraint (Maybe s -> b -> String) ~ (Maybe s -> cc -> String) comes from marrying up the instantiated type of $gdm_bar with the specified type of bar. Notice that the type variables from the instance, 's' in this case, are global to this constraint. Note that it is vital that we instantiate the `c` in $gdm_bar's type with a new unification variable for each iteration of simplifyDeriv. If we re-use the same unification variable across multiple iterations, then bad things can happen, such as #14933. Similarly for 'baz', tcSubTypeSigma gives the constraint C2 forall[2]. Eq (Maybe s) => (Ord a, Show a, Maybe s -> Maybe s -> Bool ~ Maybe s -> Maybe s -> Bool) In this case baz has no local quantification, so the implication constraint has no local skolems and there are no unification variables. [STEP DAC SOLVE] We can combine these two implication constraints into a single constraint (C1, C2), and simplify, unifying cc:=b, to get: forall[2] b. Ix b => Show a /\ forall[2]. Eq (Maybe s) => (Ord a, Show a) [STEP DAC HOIST] Let's call that (C1', C2'). Now we need to hoist the unsolved constraints out of the implications to become our candidate for (CX). That is done by approximateWC, which will return: (Show a, Ord a, Show a) Now we can use mkMinimalBySCs to remove superclasses and duplicates, giving (Show a, Ord a) And that's what GHC uses for CX. [STEP DAC RESIDUAL] In this case we have solved all the leftover constraints, but what if we don't? Simple! We just form the final residual constraint forall[1] s. CX => (C1',C2') and simplify that. In simple cases it'll succeed easily, because CX literally contains the constraints in C1', C2', but if there is anything more complicated it will be reported in a civilised way. Note [Error reporting for deriving clauses] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A surprisingly tricky aspect of deriving to get right is reporting sensible error messages. In particular, if simplifyDeriv reaches a constraint that it cannot solve, which might include: 1. Insoluble constraints 2. "Exotic" constraints (See Note [Exotic derived instance contexts]) Then we report an error immediately in simplifyDeriv. Another possible choice is to punt and let another part of the typechecker (e.g., simplifyInstanceContexts) catch the errors. But this tends to lead to worse error messages, so we do it directly in simplifyDeriv. simplifyDeriv checks for errors in a clever way. If the deriving machinery infers the context (Foo a)--that is, if this instance is to be generated: instance Foo a => ... Then we form an implication of the form: forall a. Foo a => And pass it to the simplifier. If the context (Foo a) is enough to discharge all the constraints in , then everything is hunky-dory. But if contains, say, an insoluble constraint, then (Foo a) won't be able to solve it, causing GHC to error. Note [Exotic derived instance contexts] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a 'derived' instance declaration, we *infer* the context. It's a bit unclear what rules we should apply for this; the Haskell report is silent. Obviously, constraints like (Eq a) are fine, but what about data T f a = MkT (f a) deriving( Eq ) where we'd get an Eq (f a) constraint. That's probably fine too. One could go further: consider data T a b c = MkT (Foo a b c) deriving( Eq ) instance (C Int a, Eq b, Eq c) => Eq (Foo a b c) Notice that this instance (just) satisfies the Paterson termination conditions. Then we *could* derive an instance decl like this: instance (C Int a, Eq b, Eq c) => Eq (T a b c) even though there is no instance for (C Int a), because there just *might* be an instance for, say, (C Int Bool) at a site where we need the equality instance for T's. However, this seems pretty exotic, and it's quite tricky to allow this, and yet give sensible error messages in the (much more common) case where we really want that instance decl for C. So for now we simply require that the derived instance context should have only type-variable constraints. Here is another example: data Fix f = In (f (Fix f)) deriving( Eq ) Here, if we are prepared to allow -XUndecidableInstances we could derive the instance instance Eq (f (Fix f)) => Eq (Fix f) but this is so delicate that I don't think it should happen inside 'deriving'. If you want this, write it yourself! NB: if you want to lift this condition, make sure you still meet the termination conditions! If not, the deriving mechanism generates larger and larger constraints. Example: data Succ a = S a data Seq a = Cons a (Seq (Succ a)) | Nil deriving Show Note the lack of a Show instance for Succ. First we'll generate instance (Show (Succ a), Show a) => Show (Seq a) and then instance (Show (Succ (Succ a)), Show (Succ a), Show a) => Show (Seq a) and so on. Instead we want to complain of no instance for (Show (Succ a)). The bottom line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Allow constraints which consist only of type variables, with no repeats. -}
