Type

Description

Main functions for manipulating types and type-related things

Synopsis

Main data types representing Types

Types are one of:

Unboxed
Iff its representation is other than a pointer Unboxed types are also unlifted.
Lifted
Iff it has bottom as an element. Closures always have lifted types: i.e. any let-bound identifier in Core must have a lifted type. Operationally, a lifted object is one that can be entered. 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. This is not the same as lifted types, because we also include unboxed tuples in this classification.
Data
Iff it is a type declared with data, or a boxed tuple.
Primitive
Iff it is a built-in type that can't be expressed in Haskell.

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.

data TyThing Source #

A global typecheckable-thing, essentially anything that has a name. Not to be confused with a TcTyThing, which is also a typecheckable thing but in the *local* context. See TcEnv for how to retrieve a TyThing given a Name.

type KindOrType = Type Source #

The key representation of types within the compiler

type PredType = Type Source #

A type of the form p of kind Constraint 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 TyCoVarBinder = VarBndr TyCoVar ArgFlag Source #

Variable Binder

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

A TyVarBinder is a binder with only TyVar

type KnotTied ty = ty Source #

A type labeled KnotTied might have knot-tied tycons in it. See Note [Type checking recursive type and class declarations] in TcTyClsDecls

Constructing and deconstructing types

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.

repSplitAppTys :: 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!

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

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

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

Does the AppTy split as in tcSplitAppTy_maybe, but assumes that any coreView stuff is already done. Refuses to look through (c => t)

Make an arrow type

mkFunTys :: [Type] -> Type -> Type Source #

Make nested arrow types

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

Attempts to extract the argument and result types from a type

funResultTy :: 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

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 #

Create the plain type constructor type which has been applied to no type arguments at all.

tyConAppTyCon_maybe :: Type -> Maybe TyCon Source #

The same as fst . splitTyConApp

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

Like tcSplitTyConApp_maybe but doesn't look through type synonyms.

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

Like tcSplitTyConApp but doesn't look through type synonyms.

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

Split a type constructor application into its type constructor and applied types. Note that this may fail 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). Consequently, you may need to zonk your type before using this function.

If you only need the TyCon, consider using tcTyConAppTyCon_maybe.

splitListTyConApp_maybe :: Type -> Maybe Type Source #

Attempts to tease a list type apart and gives the type of the elements if successful (looks through type synonyms)

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

Like splitTyConApp_maybe, but doesn't look through synonyms. This assumes the synonyms have already been dealt with.

mkForAllTy :: TyCoVar -> ArgFlag -> Type -> Type Source #

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

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

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

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

Like mkForAllTys, but assumes all variables are dependent and Inferred, 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 variablem

mkInvForAllTy :: TyVar -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkTyCoInvForAllTy, but tv should be a tyvar

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

Like mkTyCoInvForAllTys, but tvs should be a list of tyvar

splitForAllTys :: 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.

splitForAllVarBndrs :: Type -> ([TyCoVarBinder], Type) Source #

Like splitPiTys but split off only named binders and returns TyCoVarBinders rather than TyCoBinders

splitForAllTy_maybe :: Type -> Maybe (TyCoVar, Type) Source #

Attempts to take a forall type apart, but only if it's a proper forall, with a named binder

splitForAllTy :: Type -> (TyCoVar, Type) Source #

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

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

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

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

Takes a forall type apart, or panics

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

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

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 TyCoBinders, 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.

mkPiTys :: [TyCoBinder] -> Type -> Type Source #

Like mkTyCoPiTys, but does not check the occurrence of the binder

mkLamType :: Var -> Type -> Type Source #

Makes a (->) type or an implicit forall type, depending on whether it is given a type variable or a term variable. This is used, for example, when producing the type of a lambda. Always uses Inferred binders.

mkLamTypes :: [Var] -> Type -> Type Source #

mkLamType for multiple type or value arguments

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

isNumLitTy :: Type -> Maybe Integer Source #

Is this a numeric literal. We also look through type synonyms.

isStrLitTy :: Type -> Maybe FastString Source #

Is this a symbol literal. We also look through type synonyms.

isLitTy :: Type -> Maybe TyLit Source #

Is this a type literal (symbol or numeric).

getRuntimeRep_maybe :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Maybe Type Source #

Extract the RuntimeRep classifier of a type. For instance, getRuntimeRep_maybe Int = LiftedRep. Returns Nothing if this is not possible.

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

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

kindRep :: HasDebugCallStack => Kind -> Type 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

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 TyCoRep

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.

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

Try to split up a coercion type into the types that it coerces

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

partitionInvisibles :: [(a, ArgFlag)] -> ([a], [a]) Source #

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

tyConArgFlags :: TyCon -> [Type] -> [ArgFlag] 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
tyConArgFlags 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.

appTyArgFlags :: Type -> [Type] -> [ArgFlag] 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 appTyArgFlags comes in handy, since f Type Bool would be represented in Core using AppTys. (See also Trac #15792).

synTyConResKind :: TyCon -> Kind Source #

Find the result Kind of a type synonym, after applying it to its arity number of type variables Actually this function works fine on data types too, but they'd always return *, so we never need to ask

data TyCoMapper env m Source #

This describes how a "map" operation over a type/coercion should behave

mapCoercion :: Monad m => TyCoMapper env m -> env -> Coercion -> m Coercion Source #

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

Unwrap one layer of newtype on a type constructor and its arguments, using an eta-reduced version of the newtype if possible. This requires tys to have at least newTyConInstArity tycon elements.

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

Given a family instance TyCon and its arg types, return the corresponding family type. E.g:

data family T a
data instance T (Maybe b) = MkT b

Where the instance tycon is :RTL, so:

mkFamilyTyConApp :RTL Int  =  T (Maybe Int)

mkPrimEqPred :: Type -> Type -> Type Source #

Creates a primitive type equality predicate. Invariant: the types are not Coercions

mkPrimEqPredRole :: Role -> Type -> Type -> PredType Source #

Makes a lifted equality predicate at the given role

mkHeteroPrimEqPred :: Kind -> Kind -> Type -> Type -> Type Source #

Creates a primite type equality predicate with explicit kinds

mkHeteroReprPrimEqPred :: Kind -> Kind -> Type -> Type -> Type Source #

Creates a primitive representational type equality predicate with explicit kinds

data EqRel Source #

A choice of equality relation. This is separate from the type Role because Phantom does not define a (non-trivial) equality relation.

Like maybe, but for binders.

isVisibleArgFlag :: ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Does this ArgFlag classify an argument that is written in Haskell?

isInvisibleArgFlag :: ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Does this ArgFlag classify an argument that is not written in Haskell?

isVisibleBinder :: TyCoBinder -> Bool Source #

Does this binder bind a visible argument?

isInvisibleBinder :: TyCoBinder -> Bool Source #

Does this binder bind an invisible argument?

Common type constructors

funTyCon :: TyCon Source #

The (->) type constructor.

(->) :: forall (rep1 :: RuntimeRep) (rep2 :: RuntimeRep).
        TYPE rep1 -> TYPE rep2 -> *

Predicates on types

isForAllTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Checks whether this is a proper forall (with a named binder)

isForAllTy_ty :: Type -> Bool Source #

Like isForAllTy, but returns True only if it is a tyvar binder

isForAllTy_co :: Type -> Bool Source #

Like isForAllTy, but returns True only if it is a covar binder

isPiTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Is this a function or forall?

isCoVarType :: Type -> Bool Source #

Does this type classify a core (unlifted) Coercion? At either role nominal or representational (t1 ~ t2) See Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence]

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 CoreSyn.) 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]

isLiftedType_maybe :: HasDebugCallStack => Type -> Maybe Bool Source #

Returns Just True if this type is surely lifted, Just False if it is surely unlifted, Nothing if we can't be sure (i.e., it is levity polymorphic), and panics if the kind does not have the shape TYPE r.

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

See Type for what an unlifted type is. Panics on levity polymorphic types.

isAlgType :: Type -> Bool Source #

See Type for what an algebraic type is. Should only be applied to types, as opposed to e.g. partially saturated type constructors

isDataFamilyAppType :: Type -> Bool Source #

Check whether a type is a data family type

isPrimitiveType :: Type -> Bool Source #

Returns true of types that are opaque to Haskell.

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

Computes whether an argument (or let right hand side) should be computed strictly or lazily, based only on its type. Currently, it's just isUnliftedType. Panics on levity-polymorphic types.

isRuntimeRepTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Is this the type RuntimeRep?

isRuntimeRepVar :: TyVar -> Bool Source #

Is a tyvar of type RuntimeRep?

isRuntimeRepKindedTy :: Type -> Bool Source #

Is this a type of kind RuntimeRep? (e.g. LiftedRep)

dropRuntimeRepArgs :: [Type] -> [Type] Source #

Drops prefix of RuntimeRep constructors in TyConApps. Useful for e.g. dropping 'LiftedRep arguments of unboxed tuple TyCon applications:

dropRuntimeRepArgs [ 'LiftedRep, 'IntRep , String, Int]

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

Extract the RuntimeRep classifier of a type. For instance, getRuntimeRep_maybe Int = LiftedRep. Panics if this is not possible.

Main data types representing Kinds

type Kind = Type Source #

The key type representing kinds in the compiler.

Finding the kind of a type

isTypeLevPoly :: Type -> Bool Source #

Returns True if a type is levity polymorphic. Should be the same as (isKindLevPoly . typeKind) but much faster. Precondition: The type has kind (TYPE blah)

resultIsLevPoly :: Type -> Bool Source #

Looking past all pi-types, is the end result potentially levity polymorphic? Example: True for (forall r (a :: TYPE r). String -> a) Example: False for (forall r1 r2 (a :: TYPE r1) (b :: TYPE r2). a -> b -> Type)

tcIsLiftedTypeKind :: Kind -> Bool Source #

Is this kind equivalent to *?

This considers Constraint to be distinct from *. For a version that treats them as the same type, see isLiftedTypeKind.

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 FV.

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

closeOverKindsDSet :: DTyVarSet -> DTyVarSet Source #

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

closeOverKindsFV :: [TyVar] -> FV Source #

Given a list of tyvars returns a deterministic FV computation that returns the given tyvars with the kind variables free in the kinds of the given tyvars.

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

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

closeOverKinds :: TyVarSet -> TyVarSet Source #

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

noFreeVarsOfType :: Type -> Bool Source #

Returns True if this type has no free variables. Should be the same as isEmptyVarSet . tyCoVarsOfType, but faster in the non-forall case.

splitVisVarsOfType :: Type -> Pair TyCoVarSet Source #

Retrieve the free variables in this type, splitting them based on whether they are used visibly or invisibly. Invisible ones come first.

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

Well-scoped lists of variables

dVarSetElemsWellScoped :: DVarSet -> [Var] Source #

Extract a well-scoped list of variables from a deterministic set of variables. The result is deterministic. NB: There used to exist varSetElemsWellScoped :: VarSet -> [Var] which took a non-deterministic set and produced a non-deterministic well-scoped list. If you care about the list being well-scoped you also most likely care about it being in deterministic order.

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 RnTypes

tyCoVarsOfTypeWellScoped :: Type -> [TyVar] Source #

Get the free vars of a type in scoped order

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

Get the free vars of types in scoped order

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

Given the suffix of a telescope, returns the prefix. Ex: given [(k :: j), (a :: Proxy k)], returns [(j :: *)].

Type comparison

eqType :: Type -> Type -> Bool Source #

Type equality on source types. Does not look through newtypes or PredTypes, but it does look through type synonyms. This first checks that the kinds of the types are equal and then checks whether the types are equal, ignoring casts and coercions. (The kind check is a recursive call, but since all kinds have type Type, there is no need to check the types of kinds.) See also Note [Non-trivial definitional equality] in TyCoRep.

eqTypeX :: RnEnv2 -> Type -> Type -> Bool Source #

Compare types with respect to a (presumably) non-empty RnEnv2.

eqTypes :: [Type] -> [Type] -> Bool Source #

Type equality on lists of types, looking through type synonyms but not newtypes.

nonDetCmpTc :: TyCon -> TyCon -> Ordering Source #

Compare two TyCons. NB: This should never see Constraint (as recognized by Kind.isConstraintKindCon) which is considered a synonym for Type in Core. See Note [Kind Constraint and kind Type] in Kind. See Note [nonDetCmpType nondeterminism]

Forcing evaluation of types

seqType :: Type -> () Source #

seqTypes :: [Type] -> () Source #

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 considers Constraint to be a synonym of TYPE LiftedRep.

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

tcView :: Type -> Maybe Type Source #

Gives the typechecker view of a type. This unwraps synonyms but leaves Constraint alone. c.f. coreView, which turns Constraint into TYPE LiftedRep. Returns Nothing if no unwrapping happens. See also Note [coreView vs tcView]

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

data TCvSubst Source #

Type & coercion substitution

The following invariants must hold of a TCvSubst:

  1. The in-scope set is needed only to guide the generation of fresh uniques
  2. In particular, the kind of the type variables in the in-scope set is not relevant
  3. The substitution is only applied ONCE! This is because in general such application will not reach a fixed point.
