GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint

Description

This module defines types and simple operations over constraints, as used in the type-checker and constraint solver.

Synopsis

Documentation

type Xi = TcType Source #

A Xi-type is one that has been fully rewritten with respect to the inert set; that is, it has been rewritten by the algorithm in GHC.Tc.Solver.Rewrite. (Historical note: Xi, for years and years, meant that a type was type-family-free. It does *not* mean this any more.)

Defined in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint

Methods

ppr :: Ct -> SDoc Source #

type Cts = Bag Ct Source #

superClassesMightHelp :: WantedConstraints -> Bool Source #

True if taking superclasses of givens, or of wanteds (to perhaps expose more equalities or functional dependencies) might help to solve this constraint. See Note [When superclasses help]

isTopLevelUserTypeError :: PredType -> Bool Source #

Is this an user error message type, i.e. either the form TypeError err or Unsatisfiable err?

containsUserTypeError :: PredType -> Bool Source #

Does this constraint contain an user error message?

That is, the type is either of the form Unsatisfiable err, or it contains a type of the form TypeError msg, either at the top level or nested inside the type.

getUserTypeErrorMsg :: PredType -> Maybe ErrorMsgType Source #

A constraint is considered to be a custom type error, if it contains custom type errors anywhere in it. See Note [Custom type errors in constraints]

isUnsatisfiableCt_maybe :: Type -> Maybe ErrorMsgType Source #

Is this type an unsatisfiable constraint? If so, return the error message.

Get the flavour of the given Ct

ctEqRel :: Ct -> EqRel Source #

Get the equality relation for the given Ct

Returns the evidence Id for the argument Ct when this Ct is a Wanted.

Returns Nothing otherwise.

type ExpansionFuel = Int Source #

Says how many layers of superclasses can we expand. Invariant: ExpansionFuel should always be >= 0 see Note [Expanding Recursive Superclasses and ExpansionFuel]

data CtIrredReason Source #

Used to indicate extra information about why a CIrredCan is irreducible

Constructors

IrredShapeReason

This constraint has a non-canonical shape (e.g. c Int, for a variable c)

NonCanonicalReason CheckTyEqResult

An equality where some invariant other than (TyEq:H) of CEqCan is not satisfied; the CheckTyEqResult states exactly why

ReprEqReason

An equality that cannot be decomposed because it is representational. Example: a b ~R# Int. These might still be solved later. INVARIANT: The constraint is a representational equality constraint

ShapeMismatchReason

A nominal equality that relates two wholly different types, like Int ~# Bool or a b ~# 3. INVARIANT: The constraint is a nominal equality constraint

AbstractTyConReason

An equality like T a b c ~ Q d e where either T or Q is an abstract type constructor. See Note [Skolem abstract data] in GHC.Core.TyCon. INVARIANT: The constraint is an equality constraint between two TyConApps

cterHasNoProblem :: CheckTyEqResult -> Bool Source #

Check whether a CheckTyEqResult is marked successful.

cterFromKind :: CheckTyEqResult -> CheckTyEqResult Source #

Retain only information about occurs-check failures, because only that matters after recurring into a kind.

Constructors

WC 

Instances

Instances details
Outputable WantedConstraints Source # 
Instance details

Defined in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint

isSolvedWC :: WantedConstraints -> Bool Source #

Checks whether a the given wanted constraints are solved, i.e. that there are no simple constraints left and all the implications are solved.

tyCoVarsOfWC :: WantedConstraints -> TyCoVarSet Source #

Returns free variables of WantedConstraints as a non-deterministic set. See Note [Deterministic FV] in GHC.Utils.FV.

tyCoVarsOfWCList :: WantedConstraints -> [TyCoVar] Source #

Returns free variables of WantedConstraints as a deterministically ordered list. See Note [Deterministic FV] in GHC.Utils.FV.

insolubleCt :: Ct -> Bool Source #

Returns True of constraints that are definitely insoluble, as well as TypeError constraints. Can return True for Given constraints, unlike insolubleWantedCt.

The function is tuned for application after constraint solving i.e. assuming canonicalisation has been done That's why it looks only for IrredCt; all insoluble constraints are put into CIrredCan

nonDefaultableTyVarsOfWC :: WantedConstraints -> TyCoVarSet Source #

Gather all the type variables from WantedConstraints that it would be unhelpful to default. For the moment, these are only ConcreteTv metavariables participating in a nominal equality whose other side is not concrete; it's usually better to report those as errors instead of defaulting.
