Description

Main functions for manipulating types and type-related things

Synopsis

Main data types representing Types

Types are any, but at least one, of:

Boxed
Iff its representation is a pointer to an object on the GC'd heap. Operationally, heap objects can be entered as a means of evaluation.
Lifted
Iff it has bottom as an element: An instance of a lifted type might diverge when evaluated. GHC Haskell's unboxed types are unlifted. An unboxed, but lifted type is not very useful. (Example: A byte-represented type, where evaluating 0xff computes the 12345678th collatz number modulo 0xff.) Only lifted types may be unified with a type variable.
Algebraic
Iff it is a type with one or more constructors, whether declared with data or newtype. An algebraic type is one that can be deconstructed with a case expression. There are algebraic types that are not lifted types, like unlifted data types or unboxed tuples.
Data
Iff it is a type declared with data, or a boxed tuple. There are also unlifted data types.
Primitive
Iff it is a built-in type that can't be expressed in Haskell.
Unlifted
Anything that isn't lifted is considered unlifted.

Currently, all primitive types are unlifted, but that's not necessarily the case: for example, Int could be primitive.

Some primitive types are unboxed, such as Int#, whereas some are boxed but unlifted (such as ByteArray#). The only primitive types that we classify as algebraic are the unboxed tuples.

Some examples of type classifications that may make this a bit clearer are:

Type          primitive       boxed           lifted          algebraic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Int#          Yes             No              No              No
ByteArray#    Yes             Yes             No              No
(# a, b #)  Yes             No              No              Yes
(# a | b #) Yes             No              No              Yes
(  a, b  )    No              Yes             Yes             Yes
[a]           No              Yes             Yes             Yes

A source type is a type that is a separate type as far as the type checker is concerned, but which has a more low-level representation as far as Core-to-Core passes and the rest of the back end is concerned.

You don't normally have to worry about this, as the utility functions in this module will automatically convert a source into a representation type if they are spotted, to the best of its abilities. If you don't want this to happen, use the equivalent functions from the TcType module.

type KindOrType = Type Source #

The key representation of types within the compiler

type PredType = Type Source #

A type of the form p of constraint kind represents a value whose type is the Haskell predicate p, where a predicate is what occurs before the => in a Haskell type.

We use PredType as documentation to mark those types that we guarantee to have this kind.

It can be expanded into its representation, but:

  • The type checker must treat it as opaque
  • The rest of the compiler treats it as transparent

Consider these examples:

f :: (Eq a) => a -> Int
g :: (?x :: Int -> Int) => a -> Int
h :: (r\l) => {r} => {l::Int | r}

Here the Eq a and ?x :: Int -> Int and rl are all called "predicates"

type ThetaType = [PredType] Source #

A collection of PredTypes

data Var Source #

Variable

Essentially a typed Name, that may also contain some additional information about the Var and its use sites.

type ForAllTyBinder = VarBndr TyCoVar ForAllTyFlag Source #

Variable Binder

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

A TyVarBinder is a binder with only TyVar

type Mult = Type Source #

Mult is a type alias for Type.

Mult must contain Type because multiplicity variables are mere type variables (of kind Multiplicity) in Haskell. So the simplest implementation is to make Mult be Type.

Multiplicities can be formed with: - One: GHC.Types.One (= oneDataCon) - Many: GHC.Types.Many (= manyDataCon) - Multiplication: GHC.Types.MultMul (= multMulTyCon)

So that Mult feels a bit more structured, we provide pattern synonyms and smart constructors for these.

data Scaled a Source #

A shorthand for data with an attached Mult element (the multiplicity).

type RuntimeRepType = Type Source #

Type synonym used for types of kind RuntimeRep.

Constructing and deconstructing types

getTyVar :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> TyVar Source #

Attempts to obtain the type variable underlying a Type, and panics with the given message if this is not a type variable type. See also getTyVar_maybe

getTyVar_maybe :: Type -> Maybe TyVar Source #

Attempts to obtain the type variable underlying a Type

repGetTyVar_maybe :: Type -> Maybe TyVar Source #

Attempts to obtain the type variable underlying a Type, without any expansion

getCastedTyVar_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (TyVar, CoercionN) Source #

If the type is a tyvar, possibly under a cast, returns it, along with the coercion. Thus, the co is :: kind tv ~N kind ty

varType :: Var -> Kind Source #

The type or kind of the Var in question

mkAppTy :: Type -> Type -> Type Source #

Applies a type to another, as in e.g. k a

splitAppTy :: Type -> (Type, Type) Source #

Attempts to take a type application apart, as in splitAppTy_maybe, and panics if this is not possible

splitAppTys :: Type -> (Type, [Type]) Source #

Recursively splits a type as far as is possible, leaving a residual type being applied to and the type arguments applied to it. Never fails, even if that means returning an empty list of type applications.

splitAppTysNoView :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> (Type, [Type]) Source #

Like splitAppTys, but doesn't look through type synonyms

splitAppTy_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (Type, Type) Source #

Attempt to take a type application apart, whether it is a function, type constructor, or plain type application. Note that type family applications are NEVER unsaturated by this!

splitAppTyNoView_maybe :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Maybe (Type, Type) Source #

Does the AppTy split as in splitAppTy_maybe, but assumes that any coreView stuff is already done

tcSplitAppTyNoView_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (Type, Type) Source #

Just like splitAppTyNoView_maybe, but does not split (c => t) See Note [Decomposing fat arrow c=>t]

mkVisFunTyMany :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Type -> Type infixr 3 Source #

Make nested arrow types | Special, common, case: Arrow type with mult Many

splitFunTy :: Type -> (Mult, Type, Type) Source #

Attempts to extract the multiplicity, argument and result types from a type, and panics if that is not possible. See also splitFunTy_maybe

splitFunTy_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (FunTyFlag, Mult, Type, Type) Source #

Attempts to extract the multiplicity, argument and result types from a type

funResultTy :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Type Source #

Extract the function result type and panic if that is not possible

funArgTy :: Type -> Type Source #

Just like piResultTys but for a single argument Try not to iterate piResultTy, because it's inefficient to substitute one variable at a time; instead use 'piResultTys"

Extract the function argument type and panic if that is not possible

funTyConAppTy_maybe :: FunTyFlag -> Type -> Type -> Type -> Maybe (TyCon, [Type]) Source #

Given the components of a FunTy figure out the corresponding TyConApp.

tyConAppFunTy_maybe :: HasDebugCallStack => TyCon -> [Type] -> Maybe Type Source #

Return Just if this TyConApp should be represented as a FunTy

tyConAppFunCo_maybe :: HasDebugCallStack => Role -> TyCon -> [Coercion] -> Maybe Coercion Source #

Return Just if this TyConAppCo should be represented as a FunCo

mkFunctionType :: HasDebugCallStack => Mult -> Type -> Type -> Type Source #

This one works out the FunTyFlag from the argument type See GHC.Types.Var Note [FunTyFlag]

mkScaledFunctionTys :: [Scaled Type] -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkFunctionType, compute the FunTyFlag from the arguments

chooseFunTyFlag :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Type -> FunTyFlag Source #

See GHC.Types.Var Note [FunTyFlag]

mkTyConApp :: TyCon -> [Type] -> Type Source #

A key function: builds a TyConApp or FunTy as appropriate to its arguments. Applies its arguments to the constructor from left to right.

mkTyConTy :: TyCon -> Type Source #

(mkTyConTy tc) returns (TyConApp tc []) but arranges to share that TyConApp among all calls See Note [Sharing nullary TyConApps] So it's just an alias for tyConNullaryTy!

tyConAppTyCon_maybe :: Type -> Maybe TyCon Source #

The same as fst . splitTyConApp We can short-cut the FunTy case

tyConAppTyConPicky_maybe :: Type -> Maybe TyCon Source #

Retrieve the tycon heading this type, if there is one. Does not look through synonyms.

tyConAppArgs_maybe :: Type -> Maybe [Type] Source #

The same as snd . splitTyConApp

splitTyConApp_maybe :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Maybe (TyCon, [Type]) Source #

Attempts to tease a type apart into a type constructor and the application of a number of arguments to that constructor

splitTyConApp :: Type -> (TyCon, [Type]) Source #

Attempts to tease a type apart into a type constructor and the application of a number of arguments to that constructor. Panics if that is not possible. See also splitTyConApp_maybe

tcSplitTyConApp_maybe :: HasCallStack => Type -> Maybe (TyCon, [Type]) Source #

tcSplitTyConApp_maybe splits a type constructor application into its type constructor and applied types.

Differs from splitTyConApp_maybe in that it does *not* split types headed with (=>), as that's not a TyCon in the type-checker.

Note that this may fail (in funTyConAppTy_maybe) in the case of a FunTy with an argument of unknown kind FunTy (e.g. `FunTy (a :: k) Int`, since the kind of a isn't of the form `TYPE rep`. This isn't usually a problem but may be temporarily the cas during canonicalization: see Note [Decomposing FunTy] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical and Note [The Purely Kinded Type Invariant (PKTI)] in GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType, Wrinkle around FunTy

Consequently, you may need to zonk your type before using this function.

mkForAllTy :: ForAllTyBinder -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkTyCoForAllTy, but does not check the occurrence of the binder See Note [Unused coercion variable in ForAllTy]

mkForAllTys :: [ForAllTyBinder] -> Type -> Type Source #

Wraps foralls over the type using the provided TyCoVars from left to right

mkInvisForAllTys :: [InvisTVBinder] -> Type -> Type Source #

Wraps foralls over the type using the provided InvisTVBinders from left to right

mkTyCoInvForAllTys :: [TyCoVar] -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkForAllTys, but assumes all variables are dependent and Inferred, a common case

mkSpecForAllTy :: TyVar -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkForAllTy, but assumes the variable is dependent and Specified, a common case

mkSpecForAllTys :: [TyVar] -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkForAllTys, but assumes all variables are dependent and Specified, a common case

mkVisForAllTys :: [TyVar] -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkForAllTys, but assumes all variables are dependent and visible

mkTyCoInvForAllTy :: TyCoVar -> Type -> Type Source #

Make a dependent forall over an Inferred variable

mkInfForAllTy :: TyVar -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkTyCoInvForAllTy, but tv should be a tyvar

mkInfForAllTys :: [TyVar] -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkTyCoInvForAllTys, but tvs should be a list of tyvar

splitForAllTyCoVars :: Type -> ([TyCoVar], Type) Source #

Take a ForAllTy apart, returning the list of tycovars and the result type. This always succeeds, even if it returns only an empty list. Note that the result type returned may have free variables that were bound by a forall.

splitForAllTyVars :: Type -> ([TyVar], Type) Source #

Like splitForAllTyCoVars, but split only for tyvars. This always succeeds, even if it returns only an empty list. Note that the result type returned may have free variables that were bound by a forall.

splitForAllReqTyBinders :: Type -> ([ReqTyBinder], Type) Source #

Like splitForAllTyCoVars, but only splits ForAllTys with Required type variable binders. Furthermore, each returned tyvar is annotated with ().

splitForAllInvisTyBinders :: Type -> ([InvisTyBinder], Type) Source #

Like splitForAllTyCoVars, but only splits ForAllTys with Invisible type variable binders. Furthermore, each returned tyvar is annotated with its Specificity.

Take a forall type apart, or panics if that is not possible.

splitForAllTyVar_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (TyVar, Type) Source #

Like splitForAllTyCoVar_maybe, but only returns Just if it is a tyvar binder.

splitForAllCoVar_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (CoVar, Type) Source #

Like splitForAllTyCoVar_maybe, but only returns Just if it is a covar binder.

splitPiTy_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (PiTyBinder, Type) Source #

Attempts to take a forall type apart; works with proper foralls and functions

splitPiTy :: Type -> (PiTyBinder, Type) Source #

Takes a forall type apart, or panics

splitPiTys :: Type -> ([PiTyBinder], Type) Source #

Split off all PiTyBinders to a type, splitting both proper foralls and functions

getRuntimeArgTys :: Type -> [(Scaled Type, FunTyFlag)] Source #

Extracts a list of run-time arguments from a function type, looking through newtypes to the right of arrows.

Examples:

   newtype Identity a = I a

   getRuntimeArgTys (Int -> Bool -> Double) == [(Int, FTF_T_T), (Bool, FTF_T_T)]
   getRuntimeArgTys (Identity Int -> Bool -> Double) == [(Identity Int, FTF_T_T), (Bool, FTF_T_T)]
   getRuntimeArgTys (Int -> Identity (Bool -> Identity Double)) == [(Int, FTF_T_T), (Bool, FTF_T_T)]
   getRuntimeArgTys (forall a. Show a => Identity a -> a -> Int -> Bool)
            == [(Show a, FTF_C_T), (Identity a, FTF_T_T),(a, FTF_T_T),(Int, FTF_T_T)]

Note that, in the last case, the returned types might mention an out-of-scope type variable. This function is used only when we really care about the kinds of the returned types, so this is OK.

  • *Warning**: this function can return an infinite list. For example:
  newtype N a = MkN (a -> N a)
  getRuntimeArgTys (N a) == repeat (a, FTF_T_T)

mkTyConBindersPreferAnon Source #

Arguments

:: [TyVar]

binders

-> TyCoVarSet

free variables of result

-> [TyConBinder] 

Given a list of type-level vars and the free vars of a result kind, makes PiTyBinders, preferring anonymous binders if the variable is, in fact, not dependent. e.g. mkTyConBindersPreferAnon (k:*),(b:k),(c:k) We want (k:*) Named, (b:k) Anon, (c:k) Anon

All non-coercion binders are visible.

piResultTys :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> [Type] -> Type Source #

(piResultTys f_ty [ty1, .., tyn]) gives the type of (f ty1 .. tyn) where f :: f_ty piResultTys is interesting because: 1. f_ty may have more for-alls than there are args 2. Less obviously, it may have fewer for-alls For case 2. think of: piResultTys (forall a.a) [forall b.b, Int] This really can happen, but only (I think) in situations involving undefined. For example: undefined :: forall a. a Term: undefined (forall b. b->b) Int This term should have type (Int -> Int), but notice that there are more type args than foralls in undefineds type.

applyTysX :: [TyVar] -> Type -> [Type] -> Type Source #

dropForAlls :: Type -> Type Source #

Drops all ForAllTys

mkFamilyTyConApp :: TyCon -> [Type] -> Type Source #

splitRuntimeRep_maybe :: RuntimeRepType -> Maybe (TyCon, [Type]) Source #

(splitRuntimeRep_maybe rr) takes a Type rr :: RuntimeRep, and returns the (TyCon,[Type]) for the RuntimeRep, if possible, where the TyCon is one of the promoted DataCons of RuntimeRep. Remember: the unique on TyCon that is a a promoted DataCon is the same as the unique on the DataCon See Note [Promoted data constructors] in GHC.Core.TyCon May not be possible if rr is a type variable or type family application

kindRep_maybe :: HasDebugCallStack => Kind -> Maybe RuntimeRepType Source #

Given a kind (TYPE rr) or (CONSTRAINT rr), extract its RuntimeRep classifier rr. For example, kindRep_maybe * = Just LiftedRep Returns Nothing if the kind is not of form (TYPE rr)

kindRep :: HasDebugCallStack => Kind -> RuntimeRepType Source #

Extract the RuntimeRep classifier of a type from its kind. For example, kindRep * = LiftedRep; Panics if this is not possible. Treats * and Constraint as the same

getLevity :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Type Source #

Extract the PromDataConInfo of a type. For example, getLevity Int = Lifted, or getLevity (Array# Int) = Unlifted.

Panics if this is not possible. Does not look through type family applications.

levityType_maybe :: LevityType -> Maybe Levity Source #

levity_maybe takes a Type of kind Levity, and returns its levity May not be possible for a type variable or type family application

mkCastTy :: Type -> Coercion -> Type Source #

Make a CastTy. The Coercion must be nominal. Checks the Coercion for reflexivity, dropping it if it's reflexive. See Note [Respecting definitional equality] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep

userTypeError_maybe :: Type -> Maybe Type Source #

Is this type a custom user error? If so, give us the kind and the error message.

pprUserTypeErrorTy :: Type -> SDoc Source #

Render a type corresponding to a user type error into a SDoc.

coAxNthLHS :: CoAxiom br -> Int -> Type Source #

Get the type on the LHS of a coercion induced by a type/data family instance.

splitInvisPiTys :: Type -> ([PiTyBinder], Type) Source #

Like splitPiTys, but returns only *invisible* binders, including constraints. Stops at the first visible binder.

splitInvisPiTysN :: Int -> Type -> ([PiTyBinder], Type) Source #

Same as splitInvisPiTys, but stop when - you have found n PiTyBinders, - or you run out of invisible binders

filterOutInvisibleTypes :: TyCon -> [Type] -> [Type] Source #

Given a TyCon and a list of argument types, filter out any invisible (i.e., Inferred or Specified) arguments.

filterOutInferredTypes :: TyCon -> [Type] -> [Type] Source #

Given a TyCon and a list of argument types, filter out any Inferred arguments.

partitionInvisibleTypes :: TyCon -> [Type] -> ([Type], [Type]) Source #

Given a TyCon and a list of argument types, partition the arguments into:

  1. Inferred or Specified (i.e., invisible) arguments and
  2. Required (i.e., visible) arguments

Given a list of things paired with their visibilities, partition the things into (invisible things, visible things).

tyConForAllTyFlags :: TyCon -> [Type] -> [ForAllTyFlag] Source #

Given a TyCon and a list of argument types to which the TyCon is applied, determine each argument's visibility (Inferred, Specified, or Required).

Wrinkle: consider the following scenario:

T :: forall k. k -> k
tyConForAllTyFlags T [forall m. m -> m -> m, S, R, Q]

After substituting, we get

T (forall m. m -> m -> m) :: (forall m. m -> m -> m) -> forall n. n -> n -> n

Thus, the first argument is invisible, S is visible, R is invisible again, and Q is visible.

appTyForAllTyFlags :: Type -> [Type] -> [ForAllTyFlag] Source #

Given a Type and a list of argument types to which the Type is applied, determine each argument's visibility (Inferred, Specified, or Required).

Most of the time, the arguments will be Required, but not always. Consider f :: forall a. a -> Type. In f Type Bool, the first argument (Type) is Specified and the second argument (Bool) is Required. It is precisely this sort of higher-rank situation in which appTyForAllTyFlags comes in handy, since f Type Bool would be represented in Core using AppTys. (See also #15792).

isCoVarType :: Type -> Bool Source #

Does this type classify a core (unlifted) Coercion? At either role nominal or representational (t1 ~# t2) or (t1 ~R# t2) See Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep

isValidJoinPointType :: JoinArity -> Type -> Bool Source #

Determine whether a type could be the type of a join point of given total arity, according to the polymorphism rule. A join point cannot be polymorphic in its return type, since given join j a b x y z = e1 in e2, the types of e1 and e2 must be the same, and a and b are not in scope for e2. (See Note [The polymorphism rule of join points] in GHC.Core.) Returns False also if the type simply doesn't have enough arguments.

Note that we need to know how many arguments (type *and* value) the putative join point takes; for instance, if j :: forall a. a -> Int then j could be a binary join point returning an Int, but it could *not* be a unary join point returning a -> Int.

TODO: See Note [Excess polymorphism and join points]

tyConAppNeedsKindSig Source #

Arguments

:: Bool

-> TyCon 
-> Int

-> Bool

Does T t_1 ... t_n need a kind signature? (Where n is the number of arguments)

Does a TyCon (that is applied to some number of arguments) need to be ascribed with an explicit kind signature to resolve ambiguity if rendered as a source-syntax type? (See Note [When does a tycon application need an explicit kind signature?] for a full explanation of what this function checks for.)

Main data types representing Kinds

type Kind = Type Source #

The key type representing kinds in the compiler.

Finding the kind of a type

typeHasFixedRuntimeRep :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Bool Source #

Returns True if a type has a syntactically fixed runtime rep, as per Note [Fixed RuntimeRep] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Concrete.

This function is equivalent to `isFixedRuntimeRepKind . typeKind` but much faster.

Common Kind

Type free variables

tyCoFVsOfType :: Type -> FV Source #

The worker for tyCoFVsOfType and tyCoFVsOfTypeList. The previous implementation used unionVarSet which is O(n+m) and can make the function quadratic. It's exported, so that it can be composed with other functions that compute free variables. See Note [FV naming conventions] in GHC.Utils.FV.

Eta-expanded because that makes it run faster (apparently) See Note [FV eta expansion] in GHC.Utils.FV for explanation.

tyCoVarsOfTypeDSet :: Type -> DTyCoVarSet Source #

tyCoFVsOfType that returns free variables of a type in a deterministic set. For explanation of why using VarSet is not deterministic see Note [Deterministic FV] in GHC.Utils.FV.

expandTypeSynonyms :: Type -> Type Source #

Expand out all type synonyms. Actually, it'd suffice to expand out just the ones that discard type variables (e.g. type Funny a = Int) But we don't know which those are currently, so we just expand all.

expandTypeSynonyms only expands out type synonyms mentioned in the type, not in the kinds of any TyCon or TyVar mentioned in the type.

Keep this synchronized with synonymTyConsOfType

Closing over kinds

closeOverKindsDSet :: DTyVarSet -> DTyVarSet Source #

Add the kind variables free in the kinds of the tyvars in the given set. Returns a deterministic set.

closeOverKindsList :: [TyVar] -> [TyVar] Source #

Add the kind variables free in the kinds of the tyvars in the given set. Returns a deterministically ordered list.

Well-scoped lists of variables

scopedSort :: [TyCoVar] -> [TyCoVar] Source #

Do a topological sort on a list of tyvars, so that binders occur before occurrences E.g. given [ a::k, k::*, b::k ] it'll return a well-scoped list [ k::*, a::k, b::k ]

This is a deterministic sorting operation (that is, doesn't depend on Uniques).

It is also meant to be stable: that is, variables should not be reordered unnecessarily. This is specified in Note [ScopedSort] See also Note [Ordering of implicit variables] in GHC.Rename.HsType

tyCoVarsOfTypeWellScoped :: Type -> [TyVar] Source #

Get the free vars of a type in scoped order

Other views onto Types

coreView :: Type -> Maybe Type Source #

This function strips off the top layer only of a type synonym application (if any) its underlying representation type. Returns Nothing if there is nothing to look through.

This function does not look through type family applications.

By being non-recursive and inlined, this case analysis gets efficiently joined onto the case analysis that the caller is already doing

tyConsOfType :: Type -> UniqSet TyCon Source #

All type constructors occurring in the type; looking through type synonyms, but not newtypes. When it finds a Class, it returns the class TyCon.

Main type substitution data types

type TvSubstEnv = TyVarEnv Type Source #

A substitution of Types for TyVars and Kinds for KindVars

type IdSubstEnv = IdEnv CoreExpr Source #

A substitution of Exprs for non-coercion Ids

data Subst Source #

Type & coercion & id substitution

The Subst data type defined in this module contains substitution for tyvar, covar and id. However, operations on IdSubstEnv (mapping from Id to CoreExpr) that require the definition of the Expr data type are defined in GHC.Core.Subst to avoid circular module dependency.

Methods

ppr :: Subst -> SDoc Source #

Manipulating type substitutions

zipTvSubst :: HasDebugCallStack => [TyVar] -> [Type] -> Subst Source #

Generates the in-scope set for the Subst from the types in the incoming environment. No CoVars or Ids, please!

mkTvSubstPrs :: [(TyVar, Type)] -> Subst Source #

Generates the in-scope set for the TCvSubst from the types in the incoming environment. No CoVars, please! The InScopeSet is just a thunk so with a bit of luck it'll never be evaluated

zapSubst :: Subst -> Subst Source #

Remove all substitutions that might have been built up while preserving the in-scope set originally called zapSubstEnv

getSubstInScope :: Subst -> InScopeSet Source #

Find the in-scope set: see Note [The substitution invariant]

getSubstRangeTyCoFVs :: Subst -> VarSet Source #

Returns the free variables of the types in the range of a substitution as a non-deterministic set.

extendSubstInScope :: Subst -> Var -> Subst Source #

Add the Var to the in-scope set

extendSubstInScopeList :: Subst -> [Var] -> Subst Source #

Add the Vars to the in-scope set: see also extendInScope

extendSubstInScopeSet :: Subst -> VarSet -> Subst Source #

Add the Vars to the in-scope set: see also extendInScope

extendCvSubst :: Subst -> CoVar -> Coercion -> Subst Source #

Add a substitution from a CoVar to a Coercion to the Subst: you must ensure that the in-scope set satisfies Note [The substitution invariant] after extending the substitution like this

extendTvSubst :: Subst -> TyVar -> Type -> Subst Source #

Add a substitution for a TyVar to the Subst The TyVar *must* be a real TyVar, and not a CoVar You must ensure that the in-scope set is such that Note [The substitution invariant] holds after extending the substitution like this.

extendTvSubstList :: Subst -> [(TyVar, Type)] -> Subst Source #

Adds multiple TyVar substitutions to the Subst: see also extendTvSubst

composeTCvSubst :: Subst -> Subst -> Subst Source #

Composes two substitutions, applying the second one provided first, like in function composition. This function leaves IdSubstEnv untouched because IdSubstEnv is not used during substitution for types.

zipTyEnv :: HasDebugCallStack => [TyVar] -> [Type] -> TvSubstEnv Source #

The InScopeSet is just a thunk so with a bit of luck it'll never be evaluated

isEmptyTCvSubst :: Subst -> Bool Source #

Checks whether the tyvar and covar environments are empty. This function should be used over isEmptySubst when substituting for types, because types currently do not contain expressions; we can safely disregard the expression environment when deciding whether to skip a substitution. Using isEmptyTCvSubst gives us a non-trivial performance boost (up to 70% less allocation for T18223)

Performing substitution on types and kinds

substTyUnchecked :: Subst -> Type -> Type Source #

Substitute within a Type disabling the sanity checks. The problems that the sanity checks in substTy catch are described in Note [The substitution invariant]. The goal of #11371 is to migrate all the calls of substTyUnchecked to substTy and remove this function. Please don't use in new code.

The goal of #11371 is to migrate all the calls of substTysUnchecked to substTys and remove this function. Please don't use in new code.

substThetaUnchecked :: Subst -> ThetaType -> ThetaType Source #

Substitute within a ThetaType disabling the sanity checks. The problems that the sanity checks in substTys catch are described in Note [The substitution invariant]. The goal of #11371 is to migrate all the calls of substThetaUnchecked to substTheta and remove this function. Please don't use in new code.

substTyWithUnchecked :: [TyVar] -> [Type] -> Type -> Type Source #

Type substitution, see zipTvSubst. Disables sanity checks. The problems that the sanity checks in substTy catch are described in Note [The substitution invariant]. The goal of #11371 is to migrate all the calls of substTyUnchecked to substTy and remove this function. Please don't use in new code.

substCo :: HasDebugCallStack => Subst -> Coercion -> Coercion Source #

Substitute within a Coercion The substitution has to satisfy the invariants described in Note [The substitution invariant].

substCoUnchecked :: Subst -> Coercion -> Coercion Source #

Substitute within a Coercion disabling sanity checks. The problems that the sanity checks in substCo catch are described in Note [The substitution invariant]. The goal of #11371 is to migrate all the calls of substCoUnchecked to substCo and remove this function. Please don't use in new code.

substCoWithUnchecked :: [TyVar] -> [Type] -> Coercion -> Coercion Source #

Coercion substitution, see zipTvSubst. Disables sanity checks. The problems that the sanity checks in substCo catch are described in Note [The substitution invariant]. The goal of #11371 is to migrate all the calls of substCoUnchecked to substCo and remove this function. Please don't use in new code.

Tidying type related things up for printing

tidyType :: TidyEnv -> Type -> Type Source #

Tidy a Type

See Note [Strictness in tidyType and friends]

tidyTypes :: TidyEnv -> [Type] -> [Type] Source #

Tidy a list of Types

See Note [Strictness in tidyType and friends]

tidyOpenTypes :: TidyEnv -> [Type] -> (TidyEnv, [Type]) Source #

Grabs the free type variables, tidies them and then uses tidyType to work over the type itself

tidyVarBndrs :: TidyEnv -> [TyCoVar] -> (TidyEnv, [TyCoVar]) Source #

This tidies up a type for printing in an error message, or in an interface file.

It doesn't change the uniques at all, just the print names.

tidyFreeTyCoVars :: TidyEnv -> [TyCoVar] -> TidyEnv Source #

Add the free TyVars to the env in tidy form, so that we can tidy the type they are free in

tidyOpenTyCoVar :: TidyEnv -> TyCoVar -> (TidyEnv, TyCoVar) Source #

Treat a new TyCoVar as a binder, and give it a fresh tidy name using the environment if one has not already been allocated. See also tidyVarBndr

tidyTopType :: Type -> Type Source #

Calls tidyType on a top-level type (i.e. with an empty tidying environment)

Kinds

isTYPEorCONSTRAINT :: Kind -> Bool Source #

Does this classify a type allowed to have values? Responds True to things like *, TYPE Lifted, TYPE IntRep, TYPE v, Constraint.

True of a kind `TYPE _` or `CONSTRAINT _`

isConcrete :: Type -> Bool Source #

Tests whether the given type is concrete, i.e. it whether it consists only of concrete type constructors, concrete type variables, and applications.

See Note [Concrete types] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Concrete.

isFixedRuntimeRepKind :: HasDebugCallStack => Kind -> Bool Source #

Checks that a kind of the form Type, Constraint or 'TYPE r is concrete. See isConcrete.

Precondition: The type has kind `TYPE blah` or `CONSTRAINT blah`
