{- Note [Function types]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FunTy is the constructor for a function type. Here are the details:
* The primitive function type constructor FUN has kind
FUN :: forall (m :: Multiplicity) ->
forall {r1 :: RuntimeRep} {r2 :: RuntimeRep}.
TYPE r1 ->
TYPE r2 ->
Type
mkTyConApp ensures that we convert a saturated application
TyConApp FUN [m,r1,r2,t1,t2] into FunTy FTF_T_T m t1 t2
dropping the 'r1' and 'r2' arguments; they are easily recovered
from 't1' and 't2'. The FunTyFlag is always FTF_T_T, because
we build constraint arrows (=>) with e.g. mkPhiTy and friends,
never `mkTyConApp funTyCon args`.
* For the time being its RuntimeRep quantifiers are left
inferred. This is to allow for it to evolve.
* Because the RuntimeRep args came first historically (that is,
the arrow type constructor gained these arguments before gaining
the Multiplicity argument), we wanted to be able to say
type (->) = FUN Many
which we do in library module GHC.Types. This means that the
Multiplicity argument must precede the RuntimeRep arguments --
and it means changing the name of the primitive constructor from
(->) to FUN.
* The multiplicity argument is dependent, because Typeable does not
support a type such as `Multiplicity -> forall {r1 r2 :: RuntimeRep}. ...`.
There is a plan to change the argument order and make the
multiplicity argument nondependent in #20164.
* Re the ft_af field: see Note [FunTyFlag] in GHC.Types.Var
See Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence]
This visibility info makes no difference in Core; it matters
only when we regard the type as a Haskell source type.
Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We treat differently:
(a) Predicate types
Test: isPredTy
Binders: DictIds
Kind: Constraint
Examples: (Eq a), and (a ~ b)
(b) Coercion types are primitive, unboxed equalities
Test: isCoVarTy
Binders: CoVars (can appear in coercions)
Kind: TYPE (TupleRep [])
Examples: (t1 ~# t2) or (t1 ~R# t2)
(c) Evidence types is the type of evidence manipulated by
the type constraint solver.
Test: isEvVarType
Binders: EvVars
Kind: Constraint or TYPE (TupleRep [])
Examples: all coercion types and predicate types
Coercion types and predicate types are mutually exclusive,
but evidence types are a superset of both.
When treated as a user type,
- Predicates (of kind Constraint) are invisible and are
implicitly instantiated
- Coercion types, and non-pred evidence types (i.e. not
of kind Constrain), are just regular old types, are
visible, and are not implicitly instantiated.
In a FunTy { ft_af = af } and af = FTF_C_T or FTF_C_C, the argument
type is always a Predicate type.
Note [Weird typing rule for ForAllTy]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are the typing rules for ForAllTy:
tyvar : Type
inner : TYPE r
tyvar does not occur in r
------------------------------------
ForAllTy (Bndr tyvar vis) inner : TYPE r
inner : TYPE r
------------------------------------
ForAllTy (Bndr covar vis) inner : Type
Note that the kind of the result depends on whether the binder is a
tyvar or a covar. The kind of a forall-over-tyvar is the same as
the kind of the inner type. This is because quantification over types
is erased before runtime. By contrast, the kind of a forall-over-covar
is always Type, because a forall-over-covar is compiled into a function
taking a 0-bit-wide erased coercion argument.
Because the tyvar form above includes r in its result, we must
be careful not to let any variables escape -- thus the last premise
of the rule above.
Note [Constraints in kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do we allow a type constructor to have a kind like
S :: Eq a => a -> Type
No, we do not. Doing so would mean would need a TyConApp like
S @k @(d :: Eq k) (ty :: k)
and we have no way to build, or decompose, evidence like
(d :: Eq k) at the type level.
But we admit one exception: equality. We /do/ allow, say,
MkT :: (a ~ b) => a -> b -> Type a b
Why? Because we can, without much difficulty. Moreover
we can promote a GADT data constructor (see TyCon
Note [Promoted data constructors]), like
data GT a b where
MkGT : a -> a -> GT a a
so programmers might reasonably expect to be able to
promote MkT as well.
How does this work?
* In GHC.Tc.Validity.checkConstraintsOK we reject kinds that
have constraints other than (a~b) and (a~~b).
* In Inst.tcInstInvisibleTyBinder we instantiate a call
of MkT by emitting
[W] co :: alpha ~# beta
and producing the elaborated term
MkT @alpha @beta (Eq# alpha beta co)
We don't generate a boxed "Wanted"; we generate only a
regular old /unboxed/ primitive-equality Wanted, and build
the box on the spot.
* How can we get such a MkT? By promoting a GADT-style data
constructor, written with an explicit equality constraint.
data T a b where
MkT :: (a~b) => a -> b -> T a b
See DataCon.mkPromotedDataCon
and Note [Promoted data constructors] in GHC.Core.TyCon
* We support both homogeneous (~) and heterogeneous (~~)
equality. (See Note [The equality types story]
in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim for a primer on these equality types.)
* How do we prevent a MkT having an illegal constraint like
Eq a? We check for this at use-sites; see GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.tcTyVar,
specifically dc_theta_illegal_constraint.
* Notice that nothing special happens if
K :: (a ~# b) => blah
because (a ~# b) is not a predicate type, and is never
implicitly instantiated. (Mind you, it's not clear how you
could creates a type constructor with such a kind.) See
Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence]
* The existence of promoted MkT with an equality-constraint
argument is the (only) reason that the AnonTCB constructor
of TyConBndrVis carries an FunTyFlag.
For example, when we promote the data constructor
MkT :: forall a b. (a~b) => a -> b -> T a b
we get a PromotedDataCon with tyConBinders
Bndr (a :: Type) (NamedTCB Inferred)
Bndr (b :: Type) (NamedTCB Inferred)
Bndr (_ :: a ~ b) (AnonTCB FTF_C_T)
Bndr (_ :: a) (AnonTCB FTF_T_T))
Bndr (_ :: b) (AnonTCB FTF_T_T))
* One might reasonably wonder who *unpacks* these boxes once they are
made. After all, there is no type-level `case` construct. The
surprising answer is that no one ever does. Instead, if a GADT
constructor is used on the left-hand side of a type family equation,
that occurrence forces GHC to unify the types in question. For
example:
data G a where
MkG :: G Bool
type family F (x :: G a) :: a where
F MkG = False
When checking the LHS `F MkG`, GHC sees the MkG constructor and then must
unify F's implicit parameter `a` with Bool. This succeeds, making the equation
F Bool (MkG @Bool <Bool>) = False
Note that we never need unpack the coercion. This is because type
family equations are *not* parametric in their kind variables. That
is, we could have just said
type family H (x :: G a) :: a where
H _ = False
The presence of False on the RHS also forces `a` to become Bool,
giving us
H Bool _ = False
The fact that any of this works stems from the lack of phase
separation between types and kinds (unlike the very present phase
separation between terms and types).
Once we have the ability to pattern-match on types below top-level,
this will no longer cut it, but it seems fine for now.
Note [Arguments to type constructors]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because of kind polymorphism, in addition to type application we now
have kind instantiation. We reuse the same notations to do so.
For example:
Just (* -> *) Maybe
Right * Nat Zero
are represented by:
TyConApp (PromotedDataCon Just) [* -> *, Maybe]
TyConApp (PromotedDataCon Right) [*, Nat, (PromotedDataCon Zero)]
Important note: Nat is used as a *kind* and not as a type. This can be
confusing, since type-level Nat and kind-level Nat are identical. We
use the kind of (PromotedDataCon Right) to know if its arguments are
kinds or types.
This kind instantiation only happens in TyConApp currently.
Note [Non-trivial definitional equality]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is Int |> <*> the same as Int? YES! In order to reduce headaches,
we decide that any reflexive casts in types are just ignored.
(Indeed they must be. See Note [Respecting definitional equality].)
More generally, the `eqType` function, which defines Core's type equality
relation, ignores casts and coercion arguments, as long as the
two types have the same kind. This allows us to be a little sloppier
in keeping track of coercions, which is a good thing. It also means
that eqType does not depend on eqCoercion, which is also a good thing.
Why is this sensible? That is, why is something different than α-equivalence
appropriate for the implementation of eqType?
Anything smaller than ~ and homogeneous is an appropriate definition for
equality. The type safety of FC depends only on ~. Let's say η : τ ~ σ. Any
expression of type τ can be transmuted to one of type σ at any point by
casting. The same is true of expressions of type σ. So in some sense, τ and σ
are interchangeable.
But let's be more precise. If we examine the typing rules of FC (say, those in
https://richarde.dev/papers/2015/equalities/equalities.pdf)
there are several places where the same metavariable is used in two different
premises to a rule. (For example, see Ty_App.) There is an implicit equality
check here. What definition of equality should we use? By convention, we use
α-equivalence. Take any rule with one (or more) of these implicit equality
checks. Then there is an admissible rule that uses ~ instead of the implicit
check, adding in casts as appropriate.
The only problem here is that ~ is heterogeneous. To make the kinds work out
in the admissible rule that uses ~, it is necessary to homogenize the
coercions. That is, if we have η : (τ : κ1) ~ (σ : κ2), then we don't use η;
we use η |> kind η, which is homogeneous.
The effect of this all is that eqType, the implementation of the implicit
equality check, can use any homogeneous relation that is smaller than ~, as
those rules must also be admissible.
A more drawn out argument around all of this is presented in Section 7.2 of
Richard E's thesis (http://richarde.dev/papers/2016/thesis/eisenberg-thesis.pdf).
What would go wrong if we insisted on the casts matching? See the beginning of
Section 8 in the unpublished paper above. Theoretically, nothing at all goes
wrong. But in practical terms, getting the coercions right proved to be
nightmarish. And types would explode: during kind-checking, we often produce
reflexive kind coercions. When we try to cast by these, mkCastTy just discards
them. But if we used an eqType that distinguished between Int and Int |> <*>,
then we couldn't discard -- the output of kind-checking would be enormous,
and we would need enormous casts with lots of CoherenceCo's to straighten
them out.
Would anything go wrong if eqType looked through type families? No, not at
all. But that makes eqType rather hard to implement.
Thus, the guideline for eqType is that it should be the largest
easy-to-implement relation that is still smaller than ~ and homogeneous. The
precise choice of relation is somewhat incidental, as long as the smart
constructors and destructors in Type respect whatever relation is chosen.
Another helpful principle with eqType is this:
(EQ) If (t1 `eqType` t2) then I can replace t1 by t2 anywhere.
This principle also tells us that eqType must relate only types with the
same kinds.
Interestingly, it must be the case that the free variables of t1 and t2
might be different, even if t1 `eqType` t2. A simple example of this is
if we have both cv1 :: k1 ~ k2 and cv2 :: k1 ~ k2 in the environment.
Then t1 = t |> cv1 and t2 = t |> cv2 are eqType; yet cv1 is in the free
vars of t1 and cv2 is in the free vars of t2. Unless we choose to implement
eqType to be just α-equivalence, this wrinkle around free variables
remains.
Yet not all is lost: we can say that any two equal types share the same
*relevant* free variables. Here, a relevant variable is a shallow
free variable (see Note [Shallow and deep free variables] in GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs)
that does not appear within a coercion. Note that type variables can
appear within coercions (in, say, a Refl node), but that coercion variables
cannot appear outside a coercion. We do not (yet) have a function to
extract relevant free variables, but it would not be hard to write if
the need arises.
Note [Respecting definitional equality]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note [Non-trivial definitional equality] introduces the property (EQ).
How is this upheld?
Any function that pattern matches on all the constructors will have to
consider the possibility of CastTy. Presumably, those functions will handle
CastTy appropriately and we'll be OK.
More dangerous are the splitXXX functions. Let's focus on splitTyConApp.
We don't want it to fail on (T a b c |> co). Happily, if we have
(T a b c |> co) `eqType` (T d e f)
then co must be reflexive. Why? eqType checks that the kinds are equal, as
well as checking that (a `eqType` d), (b `eqType` e), and (c `eqType` f).
By the kind check, we know that (T a b c |> co) and (T d e f) have the same
kind. So the only way that co could be non-reflexive is for (T a b c) to have
a different kind than (T d e f). But because T's kind is closed (all tycon kinds
are closed), the only way for this to happen is that one of the arguments has
to differ, leading to a contradiction. Thus, co is reflexive.
Accordingly, by eliminating reflexive casts, splitTyConApp need not worry
about outermost casts to uphold (EQ). Eliminating reflexive casts is done
in mkCastTy. This is (EQ1) below.
Unfortunately, that's not the end of the story. Consider comparing
(T a b c) =? (T a b |> (co -> <Type>)) (c |> co)
These two types have the same kind (Type), but the left type is a TyConApp
while the right type is not. To handle this case, we say that the right-hand
type is ill-formed, requiring an AppTy never to have a casted TyConApp
on its left. It is easy enough to pull around the coercions to maintain
this invariant, as done in Type.mkAppTy. In the example above, trying to
form the right-hand type will instead yield (T a b (c |> co |> sym co) |> <Type>).
Both the casts there are reflexive and will be dropped. Huzzah.
This idea of pulling coercions to the right works for splitAppTy as well.
However, there is one hiccup: it's possible that a coercion doesn't relate two
Pi-types. For example, if we have @type family Fun a b where Fun a b = a -> b@,
then we might have (T :: Fun Type Type) and (T |> axFun) Int. That axFun can't
be pulled to the right. But we don't need to pull it: (T |> axFun) Int is not
`eqType` to any proper TyConApp -- thus, leaving it where it is doesn't violate
our (EQ) property.
In order to detect reflexive casts reliably, we must make sure not
to have nested casts: we update (t |> co1 |> co2) to (t |> (co1 `TransCo` co2)).
This is (EQ2) below.
One other troublesome case is ForAllTy. See Note [Weird typing rule for ForAllTy].
The kind of the body is the same as the kind of the ForAllTy. Accordingly,
ForAllTy tv (ty |> co) and (ForAllTy tv ty) |> co
are `eqType`. But only the first can be split by splitForAllTy. So we forbid
the second form, instead pushing the coercion inside to get the first form.
This is done in mkCastTy.
In sum, in order to uphold (EQ), we need the following invariants:
(EQ1) No decomposable CastTy to the left of an AppTy, where a decomposable
cast is one that relates either a FunTy to a FunTy or a
ForAllTy to a ForAllTy.
(EQ2) No reflexive casts in CastTy.
(EQ3) No nested CastTys.
(EQ4) No CastTy over (ForAllTy (Bndr tyvar vis) body).
See Note [Weird typing rule for ForAllTy]
These invariants are all documented above, in the declaration for Type.

TyConApp funTyCon [mult, arg_rep, res_rep, arg, res]
where
arg :: TYPE arg_rep
res :: TYPE res_rep
Note that the vis field of a FunTy appears nowhere in the
equivalent TyConApp. In Core, this is OK, because we no longer
care about the visibility of the argument in a FunTy
(the vis distinguishes between arg -> res and arg => res).
In the type-checker, we are careful not to decompose FunTys
with an invisible argument. See also Note [Decomposing fat arrow c=>t]
in GHC.Core.Type.
In order to compare FunTys while respecting how they could
expand into TyConApps, we must check
the kinds of the arg and the res.
Note [When we quantify over a coercion variable]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ForAllTyBinder in a ForAllTy can be (most often) a TyVar or (rarely)
a CoVar. We support quantifying over a CoVar here in order to support
a homogeneous (~#) relation (someday -- not yet implemented). Here is
the example:
type (:~~:) :: forall k1 k2. k1 -> k2 -> Type
data a :~~: b where
HRefl :: a :~~: a
Assuming homogeneous equality (that is, with
(~#) :: forall k. k -> k -> TYPE (TupleRep '[])
) after rejigging to make equalities explicit, we get a constructor that
looks like
HRefl :: forall k1 k2 (a :: k1) (b :: k2).
forall (cv :: k1 ~# k2). (a |> cv) ~# b
=> (:~~:) k1 k2 a b
Note that we must cast `a` by a cv bound in the same type in order to
make this work out.
See also https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/dependent-haskell/phase2
which gives a general road map that covers this space.
Having this feature in Core does *not* mean we have it in source Haskell.
See #15710 about that.
Note [Unused coercion variable in ForAllTy]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have
\(co:t1 ~# t2). e
What type should we give to the above expression?
(1) forall (co:t1 ~# t2) -> t
(2) (t1 ~# t2) -> t
If co is used in t, (1) should be the right choice.
if co is not used in t, we would like to have (1) and (2) equivalent.
However, we want to keep eqType simple and don't want eqType (1) (2) to return
True in any case.
We decide to always construct (2) if co is not used in t.
Thus in mkLamType, we check whether the variable is a coercion
variable (of type (t1 ~# t2), and whether it is un-used in the
body. If so, it returns a FunTy instead of a ForAllTy.
There are cases we want to skip the check. For example, the check is
unnecessary when it is known from the context that the input variable
is a type variable. In those cases, we use mkForAllTy.
Note [Weird typing rule for ForAllTy]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the (truncated) typing rule for the dependent ForAllTy:
inner : TYPE r
tyvar is not free in r
----------------------------------------
ForAllTy (Bndr tyvar vis) inner : TYPE r
Note that the kind of `inner` is the kind of the overall ForAllTy. This is
necessary because every ForAllTy over a type variable is erased at runtime.
Thus the runtime representation of a ForAllTy (as encoded, via TYPE rep, in
the kind) must be the same as the representation of the body. We must check
for skolem-escape, though. The skolem-escape would prevent a definition like
undefined :: forall (r :: RuntimeRep) (a :: TYPE r). a
because the type's kind (TYPE r) mentions the out-of-scope r. Luckily, the real
type of undefined is
undefined :: forall (r :: RuntimeRep) (a :: TYPE r). HasCallStack => a
and that HasCallStack constraint neatly sidesteps the potential skolem-escape
problem.
If the bound variable is a coercion variable:
inner : TYPE r
covar is free in inner
------------------------------------
ForAllTy (Bndr covar vis) inner : Type
Here, the kind of the ForAllTy is just Type, because coercion abstractions
are *not* erased. The "covar is free in inner" premise is solely to maintain
the representation invariant documented in
Note [Unused coercion variable in ForAllTy]. Though there is surface similarity
between this free-var check and the one in the tyvar rule, these two restrictions
are truly unrelated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Invariant 1: Refl lifting
Refl (similar for GRefl r ty MRefl) is always lifted as far as possible.
For example
(Refl T) (Refl a) (Refl b) is normalised (by mkAppCo) to (Refl (T a b)).
You might think that a consequences is:
Every identity coercion has Refl at the root
But that's not quite true because of coercion variables. Consider
g where g :: Int~Int
Left h where h :: Maybe Int ~ Maybe Int
etc. So the consequence is only true of coercions that
have no coercion variables.
Invariant 2: TyConAppCo
An application of (Refl T) to some coercions, at least one of which is
NOT the identity, is normalised to TyConAppCo. (They may not be
fully saturated however.) TyConAppCo coercions (like all coercions
other than Refl) are NEVER the identity.
Note [Generalized reflexive coercion]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GRefl is a generalized reflexive coercion (see #15192). It wraps a kind
coercion, which might be reflexive (MRefl) or any coercion (MCo co). The typing
rules for GRefl:
ty : k1
------------------------------------
GRefl r ty MRefl: ty ~r ty
ty : k1 co :: k1 ~ k2
------------------------------------
GRefl r ty (MCo co) : ty ~r ty |> co
Consider we have
g1 :: s ~r t
s :: k1
g2 :: k1 ~ k2
and we want to construct a coercions co which has type
(s |> g2) ~r t
We can define
co = Sym (GRefl r s g2) ; g1
It is easy to see that
Refl == GRefl Nominal ty MRefl :: ty ~n ty
A nominal reflexive coercion is quite common, so we keep the special form Refl to
save allocation.
Note [SelCo]
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Coercion form SelCo allows us to decompose a structural coercion, one
between ForallTys, or TyConApps, or FunTys.
There are three forms, split by the CoSel field inside the SelCo:
SelTyCon, SelForAll, and SelFun.
* SelTyCon:
co : (T s1..sn) ~r0 (T t1..tn)
T is a data type, not a newtype, nor an arrow type
r = tyConRole tc r0 i
i < n (i is zero-indexed)
----------------------------------
SelCo (SelTyCon i r) : si ~r ti
"Not a newtype": see Note [SelCo and newtypes]
"Not an arrow type": see SelFun below
See Note [SelCo Cached Roles]
* SelForAll:
co : forall (a:k1).t1 ~r0 forall (a:k2).t2
----------------------------------
SelCo SelForAll : k1 ~N k2
NB: SelForAll always gives a Nominal coercion.
* The SelFun form, for functions, has three sub-forms for the three
components of the function type (multiplicity, argument, result).
co : (s1 %{m1}-> t1) ~r0 (s2 %{m2}-> t2)
r = funRole r0 SelMult
----------------------------------
SelCo (SelFun SelMult) : m1 ~r m2
co : (s1 %{m1}-> t1) ~r0 (s2 %{m2}-> t2)
r = funRole r0 SelArg
----------------------------------
SelCo (SelFun SelArg) : s1 ~r s2
co : (s1 %{m1}-> t1) ~r0 (s2 %{m2}-> t2)
r = funRole r0 SelRes
----------------------------------
SelCo (SelFun SelRes) : t1 ~r t2
Note [FunCo]
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just as FunTy has a ft_af :: FunTyFlag field, FunCo (which connects
two function types) has two FunTyFlag fields:
funco_afl, funco_afr :: FunTyFlag
In all cases, the FunTyFlag is recoverable from the kinds of the argument
and result types/coercions; but experiments show that it's better to
cache it.
Why does FunCo need /two/ flags? If we have a single method class,
implemented as a newtype
class C a where { op :: [a] -> a }
then we can have a coercion
co :: C Int ~R ([Int]->Int)
So now we can define
FunCo co <Bool> : (C Int => Bool) ~R (([Int]->Int) -> Bool)
Notice that the left and right arrows are different! Hence two flags,
one for coercionLKind and one for coercionRKind.
Note [Coercion axioms applied to coercions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reason coercion axioms can be applied to coercions and not just
types is to allow for better optimization. There are some cases where
we need to be able to "push transitivity inside" an axiom in order to
expose further opportunities for optimization.
For example, suppose we have
C a : t[a] ~ F a
g : b ~ c
and we want to optimize
sym (C b) ; t[g] ; C c
which has the kind
F b ~ F c
(stopping through t[b] and t[c] along the way).
We'd like to optimize this to just F g -- but how? The key is
that we need to allow axioms to be instantiated by *coercions*,
not just by types. Then we can (in certain cases) push
transitivity inside the axiom instantiations, and then react
opposite-polarity instantiations of the same axiom. In this
case, e.g., we match t[g] against the LHS of (C c)'s kind, to
obtain the substitution a |-> g (note this operation is sort
of the dual of lifting!) and hence end up with
C g : t[b] ~ F c
which indeed has the same kind as t[g] ; C c.
Now we have
sym (C b) ; C g
which can be optimized to F g.
Note [CoAxiom index]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A CoAxiom has 1 or more branches. Each branch has contains a list
of the free type variables in that branch, the LHS type patterns,
and the RHS type for that branch. When we apply an axiom to a list
of coercions, we must choose which branch of the axiom we wish to
use, as the different branches may have different numbers of free
type variables. (The number of type patterns is always the same
among branches, but that doesn't quite concern us here.)
The Int in the AxiomInstCo constructor is the 0-indexed number
of the chosen branch.
Note [Forall coercions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Constructing coercions between forall-types can be a bit tricky,
because the kinds of the bound tyvars can be different.
The typing rule is:
kind_co : k1 ~ k2
tv1:k1 |- co : t1 ~ t2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ForAllCo tv1 kind_co co : all tv1:k1. t1 ~
all tv1:k2. (t2[tv1 |-> tv1 |> sym kind_co])
First, the TyCoVar stored in a ForAllCo is really an optimisation: this field
should be a Name, as its kind is redundant. Thinking of the field as a Name
is helpful in understanding what a ForAllCo means.
The kind of TyCoVar always matches the left-hand kind of the coercion.
The idea is that kind_co gives the two kinds of the tyvar. See how, in the
conclusion, tv1 is assigned kind k1 on the left but kind k2 on the right.
Of course, a type variable can't have different kinds at the same time. So,
we arbitrarily prefer the first kind when using tv1 in the inner coercion
co, which shows that t1 equals t2.
The last wrinkle is that we need to fix the kinds in the conclusion. In
t2, tv1 is assumed to have kind k1, but it has kind k2 in the conclusion of
the rule. So we do a kind-fixing substitution, replacing (tv1:k1) with
(tv1:k2) |> sym kind_co. This substitution is slightly bizarre, because it
mentions the same name with different kinds, but it *is* well-kinded, noting
that `(tv1:k2) |> sym kind_co` has kind k1.
This all really would work storing just a Name in the ForAllCo. But we can't
add Names to, e.g., VarSets, and there generally is just an impedance mismatch
in a bunch of places. So we use tv1. When we need tv2, we can use
setTyVarKind.
Note [Predicate coercions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have
g :: a~b
How can we coerce between types
([c]~a) => [a] -> c
and
([c]~b) => [b] -> c
where the equality predicate *itself* differs?
Answer: we simply treat (~) as an ordinary type constructor, so these
types really look like
((~) [c] a) -> [a] -> c
((~) [c] b) -> [b] -> c
So the coercion between the two is obviously
((~) [c] g) -> [g] -> c
Another way to see this to say that we simply collapse predicates to
their representation type (see Type.coreView and Type.predTypeRep).
This collapse is done by mkPredCo; there is no PredCo constructor
in Coercion. This is important because we need Nth to work on
predicates too:
SelCo (SelTyCon 1) ((~) [c] g) = g
See Simplify.simplCoercionF, which generates such selections.
Note [Roles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roles are a solution to the GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving problem, articulated
in #1496. The full story is in docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf. Also, see
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/roles-implementation
Here is one way to phrase the problem:
Given:
newtype Age = MkAge Int
type family F x
type instance F Age = Bool
type instance F Int = Char
This compiles down to:
axAge :: Age ~ Int
axF1 :: F Age ~ Bool
axF2 :: F Int ~ Char
Then, we can make:
(sym (axF1) ; F axAge ; axF2) :: Bool ~ Char
Yikes!
The solution is _roles_, as articulated in "Generative Type Abstraction and
Type-level Computation" (POPL 2010), available at
http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~sweirich/papers/popl163af-weirich.pdf
The specification for roles has evolved somewhat since that paper. For the
current full details, see the documentation in docs/core-spec. Here are some
highlights.
We label every equality with a notion of type equivalence, of which there are
three options: Nominal, Representational, and Phantom. A ground type is
nominally equivalent only with itself. A newtype (which is considered a ground
type in Haskell) is representationally equivalent to its representation.
Anything is "phantomly" equivalent to anything else. We use "N", "R", and "P"
to denote the equivalences.
The axioms above would be:
axAge :: Age ~R Int
axF1 :: F Age ~N Bool
axF2 :: F Age ~N Char
Then, because transitivity applies only to coercions proving the same notion
of equivalence, the above construction is impossible.
However, there is still an escape hatch: we know that any two types that are
nominally equivalent are representationally equivalent as well. This is what
the form SubCo proves -- it "demotes" a nominal equivalence into a
representational equivalence. So, it would seem the following is possible:
sub (sym axF1) ; F axAge ; sub axF2 :: Bool ~R Char -- WRONG
What saves us here is that the arguments to a type function F, lifted into a
coercion, *must* prove nominal equivalence. So, (F axAge) is ill-formed, and
we are safe.
Roles are attached to parameters to TyCons. When lifting a TyCon into a
coercion (through TyConAppCo), we need to ensure that the arguments to the
TyCon respect their roles. For example:
data T a b = MkT a (F b)
If we know that a1 ~R a2, then we know (T a1 b) ~R (T a2 b). But, if we know
that b1 ~R b2, we know nothing about (T a b1) and (T a b2)! This is because
the type function F branches on b's *name*, not representation. So, we say
that 'a' has role Representational and 'b' has role Nominal. The third role,
Phantom, is for parameters not used in the type's definition. Given the
following definition
data Q a = MkQ Int
the Phantom role allows us to say that (Q Bool) ~R (Q Char), because we
can construct the coercion Bool ~P Char (using UnivCo).
See the paper cited above for more examples and information.
Note [TyConAppCo roles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The TyConAppCo constructor has a role parameter, indicating the role at
which the coercion proves equality. The choice of this parameter affects
the required roles of the arguments of the TyConAppCo. To help explain
it, assume the following definition:
type instance F Int = Bool -- Axiom axF : F Int ~N Bool
newtype Age = MkAge Int -- Axiom axAge : Age ~R Int
data Foo a = MkFoo a -- Role on Foo's parameter is Representational
TyConAppCo Nominal Foo axF : Foo (F Int) ~N Foo Bool
For (TyConAppCo Nominal) all arguments must have role Nominal. Why?
So that Foo Age ~N Foo Int does *not* hold.
TyConAppCo Representational Foo (SubCo axF) : Foo (F Int) ~R Foo Bool
TyConAppCo Representational Foo axAge : Foo Age ~R Foo Int
For (TyConAppCo Representational), all arguments must have the roles
corresponding to the result of tyConRoles on the TyCon. This is the
whole point of having roles on the TyCon to begin with. So, we can
have Foo Age ~R Foo Int, if Foo's parameter has role R.
If a Representational TyConAppCo is over-saturated (which is otherwise fine),
the spill-over arguments must all be at Nominal. This corresponds to the
behavior for AppCo.
TyConAppCo Phantom Foo (UnivCo Phantom Int Bool) : Foo Int ~P Foo Bool
All arguments must have role Phantom. This one isn't strictly
necessary for soundness, but this choice removes ambiguity.
The rules here dictate the roles of the parameters to mkTyConAppCo
(should be checked by Lint).
Note [SelCo and newtypes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have
newtype N a = MkN Int
type role N representational
This yields axiom
NTCo:N :: forall a. N a ~R Int
We can then build
co :: forall a b. N a ~R N b
co = NTCo:N a ; sym (NTCo:N b)
for any `a` and `b`. Because of the role annotation on N, if we use
SelCo, we'll get out a representational coercion. That is:
SelCo (SelTyCon 0 r) co :: forall a b. a ~r b
Yikes! Clearly, this is terrible. The solution is simple: forbid
SelCo to be used on newtypes if the internal coercion is representational.
See the SelCo equation for GHC.Core.Lint.lintCoercion.
This is not just some corner case discovered by a segfault somewhere;
it was discovered in the proof of soundness of roles and described
in the "Safe Coercions" paper (ICFP '14).
Note [SelCo Cached Roles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why do we cache the role of SelCo in the SelCo constructor?
Because computing role(Nth i co) involves figuring out that
co :: T tys1 ~ T tys2
using coercionKind, and finding (coercionRole co), and then looking
at the tyConRoles of T. Avoiding bad asymptotic behaviour here means
we have to compute the kind and role of a coercion simultaneously,
which makes the code complicated and inefficient.
This only happens for SelCo. Caching the role solves the problem, and
allows coercionKind and coercionRole to be simple.
See #11735
Note [InstCo roles]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is (essentially) the typing rule for InstCo:
g :: (forall a. t1) ~r (forall a. t2)
w :: s1 ~N s2
------------------------------- InstCo
InstCo g w :: (t1 [a |-> s1]) ~r (t2 [a |-> s2])
Note that the Coercion w *must* be nominal. This is necessary
because the variable a might be used in a "nominal position"
(that is, a place where role inference would require a nominal
role) in t1 or t2. If we allowed w to be representational, we
could get bogus equalities.
A more nuanced treatment might be able to relax this condition
somewhat, by checking if t1 and/or t2 use their bound variables
in nominal ways. If not, having w be representational is OK.

UnivCoProvenance
%* *
%************************************************************************
A UnivCo is a coercion whose proof does not directly express its role
and kind (indeed for some UnivCos, like PluginProv, there /is/ no proof).
The different kinds of UnivCo are described by UnivCoProvenance. Really
each is entirely separate, but they all share the need to represent their
role and kind, which is done in the UnivCo constructor.
-}
-- | For simplicity, we have just one UnivCo that represents a coercion from
-- some type to some other type, with (in general) no restrictions on the
-- type. The UnivCoProvenance specifies more exactly what the coercion really
-- is and why a program should (or shouldn't!) trust the coercion.
-- It is reasonable to consider each constructor of 'UnivCoProvenance'
-- as a totally independent coercion form; their only commonality is
-- that they don't tell you what types they coercion between. (That info
-- is in the 'UnivCo' constructor of 'Coercion'.

{- Note [Phantom coercions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
data T a = T1 | T2
Then we have
T s ~R T t
for any old s,t. The witness for this is (TyConAppCo T Rep co),
where (co :: s ~P t) is a phantom coercion built with PhantomProv.
The role of the UnivCo is always Phantom. The Coercion stored is the
(nominal) kind coercion between the types
kind(s) ~N kind (t)
Note [Coercion holes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During typechecking, constraint solving for type classes works by
- Generate an evidence Id, d7 :: Num a
- Wrap it in a Wanted constraint, [W] d7 :: Num a
- Use the evidence Id where the evidence is needed
- Solve the constraint later
- When solved, add an enclosing let-binding let d7 = .... in ....
which actually binds d7 to the (Num a) evidence
For equality constraints we use a different strategy. See Note [The
equality types story] in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim for background on equality constraints.
- For /boxed/ equality constraints, (t1 ~N t2) and (t1 ~R t2), it's just
like type classes above. (Indeed, boxed equality constraints *are* classes.)
- But for /unboxed/ equality constraints (t1 ~R# t2) and (t1 ~N# t2)
we use a different plan
For unboxed equalities:
- Generate a CoercionHole, a mutable variable just like a unification
variable
- Wrap the CoercionHole in a Wanted constraint; see GHC.Tc.Utils.TcEvDest
- Use the CoercionHole in a Coercion, via HoleCo
- Solve the constraint later
- When solved, fill in the CoercionHole by side effect, instead of
doing the let-binding thing
The main reason for all this is that there may be no good place to let-bind
the evidence for unboxed equalities:
- We emit constraints for kind coercions, to be used to cast a
type's kind. These coercions then must be used in types. Because
they might appear in a top-level type, there is no place to bind
these (unlifted) coercions in the usual way.
- A coercion for (forall a. t1) ~ (forall a. t2) will look like
forall a. (coercion for t1~t2)
But the coercion for (t1~t2) may mention 'a', and we don't have
let-bindings within coercions. We could add them, but coercion
holes are easier.
- Moreover, nothing is lost from the lack of let-bindings. For
dictionaries want to achieve sharing to avoid recomputing the
dictionary. But coercions are entirely erased, so there's little
benefit to sharing. Indeed, even if we had a let-binding, we
always inline types and coercions at every use site and drop the
binding.
Other notes about HoleCo:
* INVARIANT: CoercionHole and HoleCo are used only during type checking,
and should never appear in Core. Just like unification variables; a Type
can contain a TcTyVar, but only during type checking. If, one day, we
use type-level information to separate out forms that can appear during
type-checking vs forms that can appear in core proper, holes in Core will
be ruled out.
* See Note [CoercionHoles and coercion free variables]
* Coercion holes can be compared for equality like other coercions:
by looking at the types coerced.
Note [CoercionHoles and coercion free variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why does a CoercionHole contain a CoVar, as well as reference to
fill in? Because we want to treat that CoVar as a free variable of
the coercion. See #14584, and Note [What prevents a
constraint from floating] in GHC.Tc.Solver, item (4):
forall k. [W] co1 :: t1 ~# t2 |> co2
[W] co2 :: k ~# *
Here co2 is a CoercionHole. But we /must/ know that it is free in
co1, because that's all that stops it floating outside the
implication.
Note [ProofIrrelProv]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A ProofIrrelProv is a coercion between coercions. For example:
data G a where
MkG :: G Bool
In core, we get
G :: * -> *
MkG :: forall (a :: *). (a ~ Bool) -> G a
Now, consider 'MkG -- that is, MkG used in a type -- and suppose we want
a proof that ('MkG a1 co1) ~ ('MkG a2 co2). This will have to be
TyConAppCo Nominal MkG [co3, co4]
where
co3 :: co1 ~ co2
co4 :: a1 ~ a2
Note that
co1 :: a1 ~ Bool
co2 :: a2 ~ Bool
Here,
co3 = UnivCo (ProofIrrelProv co5) Nominal (CoercionTy co1) (CoercionTy co2)
where
co5 :: (a1 ~ Bool) ~ (a2 ~ Bool)
co5 = TyConAppCo Nominal (~#) [<*>, <*>, co4, <Bool>]

foldType and foldCoercion
* *
********************************************************************* -}
{- Note [foldType]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
foldType is a bit more powerful than perhaps it looks:
* You can fold with an accumulating parameter, via
TyCoFolder env (Endo a)
Recall newtype Endo a = Endo (a->a)
* You can fold monadically with a monad M, via
TyCoFolder env (M a)
provided you have
instance .. => Monoid (M a)
Note [mapType vs foldType]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We define foldType here, but mapType in module Type. Why?
* foldType is used in GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs for finding free variables.
It's a very simple function that analyses a type,
but does not construct one.
* mapType constructs new types, and so it needs to call
the "smart constructors", mkAppTy, mkCastTy, and so on.
These are sophisticated functions, and can't be defined
here in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.
Note [Specialising foldType]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We inline foldType at every call site (there are not many), so that it
becomes specialised for the particular monoid *and* TyCoFolder at
that site. This is just for efficiency, but walking over types is
done a *lot* in GHC, so worth optimising.
We were worried that
TyCoFolder env (Endo a)
might not eta-expand. Recall newtype Endo a = Endo (a->a).
In particular, given
fvs :: Type -> TyCoVarSet
fvs ty = appEndo (foldType tcf emptyVarSet ty) emptyVarSet
tcf :: TyCoFolder enf (Endo a)
tcf = TyCoFolder { tcf_tyvar = do_tv, ... }
where
do_tvs is tv = Endo do_it
where
do_it acc | tv `elemVarSet` is = acc
| tv `elemVarSet` acc = acc
| otherwise = acc `extendVarSet` tv
we want to end up with
fvs ty = go emptyVarSet ty emptyVarSet
where
go env (TyVarTy tv) acc = acc `extendVarSet` tv
..etc..
And indeed this happens.
- Selections from 'tcf' are done at compile time
- 'go' is nicely eta-expanded.
We were also worried about
deep_fvs :: Type -> TyCoVarSet
deep_fvs ty = appEndo (foldType deep_tcf emptyVarSet ty) emptyVarSet
deep_tcf :: TyCoFolder enf (Endo a)
deep_tcf = TyCoFolder { tcf_tyvar = do_tv, ... }
where
do_tvs is tv = Endo do_it
where
do_it acc | tv `elemVarSet` is = acc
| tv `elemVarSet` acc = acc
| otherwise = deep_fvs (varType tv)
`unionVarSet` acc
`extendVarSet` tv
Here deep_fvs and deep_tcf are mutually recursive, unlike fvs and tcf.
But, amazingly, we get good code here too. GHC is careful not to mark
TyCoFolder data constructor for deep_tcf as a loop breaker, so the
record selections still cancel. And eta expansion still happens too.

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:
