(See Note [Deriving strategies] in GHC.Tc.Deriv.) Some deriving strategies impose stricter requirements on the types involved in the derived instance than others, and these differences are factored out into the DerivSpecMechanism type. Suppose that the derived instance looks like this: instance ... => C arg_1 ... arg_n Each deriving strategy imposes restrictions on arg_1 through arg_n as follows: * stock (DerivSpecStock): Stock deriving requires that: - n must be a positive number. This is checked by GHC.Tc.Deriv.expectNonNullaryClsArgs - arg_n must be an application of an algebraic type constructor. Here, "algebraic type constructor" means: + An ordinary data type constructor, or + A data family type constructor such that the arguments it is applied to give rise to a data family instance. This is checked by GHC.Tc.Deriv.expectAlgTyConApp. This extra structure is witnessed by the DerivInstTys data type, which stores arg_1 through arg_(n-1) (dit_cls_tys), the algebraic type constructor (dit_tc), and its arguments (dit_tc_args). A DerivInstTys value can be seen as a more structured representation of the denv_inst_tys field of DerivEnv. If dit_tc is an ordinary data type constructor, then dit_rep_tc/dit_rep_tc_args are the same as dit_tc/dit_tc_args. If dit_tc is a data family type constructor, then dit_rep_tc is the representation type constructor for the data family instance, and dit_rep_tc_args are the arguments to the representation type constructor in the corresponding instance. * newtype (DerivSpecNewtype): Newtype deriving imposes the same DerivInstTys requirements as stock deriving. This is necessary because we need to know what the underlying type that the newtype wraps is, and this information can only be learned by knowing dit_rep_tc. * anyclass (DerivSpecAnyclass): DeriveAnyClass is the most permissive deriving strategy of all, as it essentially imposes no requirements on the derived instance. This is because DeriveAnyClass simply derives an empty instance, so it does not need any particular knowledge about the types involved. It can do several things that stock/newtype deriving cannot do (#13154): - n can be 0. That is, one is allowed to anyclass-derive an instance with no arguments to the class, such as in this example: class C deriving anyclass instance C - One can derive an instance for a type that is not headed by a type constructor, such as in the following example: class C (n :: Nat) deriving instance C 0 deriving instance C 1 ... - One can derive an instance for a data family with no data family instances, such as in the following example: data family Foo a class C a deriving anyclass instance C (Foo a) * via (DerivSpecVia): Like newtype deriving, DerivingVia requires that n must be a positive number. This is because when one derives something like this: deriving via Foo instance C Bar Then the generated code must specifically mention Bar. However, in contrast with newtype deriving, DerivingVia does *not* require Bar to be an application of an algebraic type constructor. This is because the generated code simply defers to invoking `coerce`, which does not need to know anything in particular about Bar (besides that it is representationally equal to Foo). This allows DerivingVia to do some things that are not possible with newtype deriving, such as deriving instances for data families without data instances (#13154): data family Foo a newtype ByBar a = ByBar a class Baz a where ... instance Baz (ByBar a) where ... deriving via ByBar (Foo a) instance Baz (Foo a) -} -- | Whether GHC is processing a @deriving@ clause or a standalone deriving -- declaration. data DerivContext = InferContext (Maybe SrcSpan) -- ^ @'InferContext mb_wildcard@ is either: -- -- * A @deriving@ clause (in which case -- @mb_wildcard@ is 'Nothing'). -- -- * A standalone deriving declaration with -- an extra-constraints wildcard as the -- context (in which case @mb_wildcard@ is -- @'Just' loc@, where @loc@ is the location -- of the wildcard. -- -- GHC should infer the context. | SupplyContext ThetaType -- ^ @'SupplyContext' theta@ is a standalone -- deriving declaration, where @theta@ is the -- context supplied by the user. instance Outputable DerivContext where ppr (InferContext standalone) = text "InferContext" <+> ppr standalone ppr (SupplyContext theta) = text "SupplyContext" <+> ppr theta -- | Records whether a particular class can be derived by way of an -- /originative/ deriving strategy (i.e., @stock@ or @anyclass@). -- -- See @Note [Deriving strategies]@ in "GHC.Tc.Deriv". data OriginativeDerivStatus = CanDeriveStock StockGenFns -- Stock class, can derive | StockClassError !DeriveInstanceErrReason -- Stock class, but can't do it | CanDeriveAnyClass -- See Note [Deriving any class] | NonDerivableClass -- Cannot derive with either stock or anyclass -- | Describes how to generate instance bindings ('stock_gen_binds') and -- associated type family instances ('stock_gen_fam_insts') for a particular -- stock-derived instance. data StockGenFns = StockGenFns { stock_gen_binds :: SrcSpan -> DerivInstTys -> TcM (LHsBinds GhcPs, [LSig GhcPs], Bag AuxBindSpec, [Name]) -- ^ Describes how to generate instance bindings for a stock-derived -- instance. -- -- This function takes two arguments: -- -- 1.

However, the behavior of `main` is affected by the presence of `bar`, since it will print different output depending on whether `MkFoo` is defined using record selectors or not. Therefore, we do not to issue a "Defined but not used: ‘bar’" warning for this module, since removing `bar` changes the program's behavior. This is the reason behind the [Name] part of the return type of `hasStockDeriving`—it tracks all of the record selector `Name`s for which -Wunused-binds should be suppressed. Currently, the only three stock derived classes that require this are Read, Show, and Generic, as their derived code all depend on the record selectors of the derived data type's constructors.

standalone-deriving declaration, are for: * a stock class like Eq or Show, for which GHC knows how to generate the instance code * a newtype, via the mechanism enabled by GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving The DeriveAnyClass extension adds a third way to derive instances, based on empty instance declarations. The canonical use case is in combination with GHC.Generics and default method signatures. These allow us to have instance declarations being empty, but still useful, e.g. data T a = ...blah..blah... deriving( Generic ) instance C a => C (T a) -- No 'where' clause where C is some "random" user-defined class. This boilerplate code can be replaced by the more compact data T a = ...blah..blah... deriving( Generic, C ) if DeriveAnyClass is enabled. This is not restricted to Generics; any class can be derived, simply giving rise to an empty instance. See Note [Gathering and simplifying constraints for DeriveAnyClass] in GHC.Tc.Deriv.Infer for an explanation hof how the instance context is inferred for DeriveAnyClass. Note [Check that the type variable is truly universal] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Functor and Traversable instances, we must check that the *last argument* of the type constructor is used truly universally quantified. Example data T a b where T1 :: a -> b -> T a b -- Fine! Vanilla H-98 T2 :: b -> c -> T a b -- Fine! Existential c, but we can still map over 'b' T3 :: b -> T Int b -- Fine! Constraint 'a', but 'b' is still polymorphic T4 :: Ord b => b -> T a b -- No! 'b' is constrained T5 :: b -> T b b -- No! 'b' is constrained T6 :: T a (b,b) -- No! 'b' is constrained Notice that only the first of these constructors is vanilla H-98. We only need to take care about the last argument (b in this case). See #8678. Eg. for T1-T3 we can write fmap f (T1 a b) = T1 a (f b) fmap f (T2 b c) = T2 (f b) c fmap f (T3 x) = T3 (f x) We need not perform these checks for Foldable instances, however, since functions in Foldable can only consume existentially quantified type variables, rather than produce them (as is the case in Functor and Traversable functions.) As a result, T can have a derived Foldable instance: foldr f z (T1 a b) = f b z foldr f z (T2 b c) = f b z foldr f z (T3 x) = f x z foldr f z (T4 x) = f x z foldr f z (T5 x) = f x z foldr _ z T6 = z See Note [DeriveFoldable with ExistentialQuantification] in GHC.Tc.Deriv.Functor. For Functor and Traversable, we must take care not to let type synonyms unfairly reject a type for not being truly universally quantified. An example of this is: type C (a :: Constraint) b = a data T a b = C (Show a) b => MkT b Here, the existential context (C (Show a) b) does technically mention the last type variable b. But this is OK, because expanding the type synonym C would give us the context (Show a), which doesn't mention b. Therefore, we must make sure to expand type synonyms before performing this check. Not doing so led to #13813. -}
