    Add HoleFitPlugins and RawHoleFits · c311277b
    Matthías Páll Gissurarson authored
    This patch adds a new kind of plugin, Hole fit plugins. These plugins
    can change what candidates are considered when looking for valid hole
    fits, and add hole fits of their own. The type of a plugin is relatively
    simple,
    
    ```
    type FitPlugin = TypedHole -> [HoleFit] -> TcM [HoleFit]
    type CandPlugin = TypedHole -> [HoleFitCandidate] -> TcM [HoleFitCandidate]
    data HoleFitPlugin = HoleFitPlugin { candPlugin :: CandPlugin
                                       , fitPlugin :: FitPlugin }
    
    data TypedHole = TyH { tyHRelevantCts :: Cts
                           -- ^ Any relevant Cts to the hole
                         , tyHImplics :: [Implication]
                           -- ^ The nested implications of the hole with the
                           --   innermost implication first.
                         , tyHCt :: Maybe Ct
                           -- ^ The hole constraint itself, if available.
                         }
    
    This allows users and plugin writers to interact with the candidates and
    fits as they wish, even going as far as to allow them to reimplement the
    current functionality (since `TypedHole` contains all the relevant
    information).
    
    As an example, consider the following plugin:
    
    ```
    module HolePlugin where
    
    import GhcPlugins
    
    import TcHoleErrors
    
    import Data.List (intersect, stripPrefix)
    import RdrName (importSpecModule)
    
    import TcRnTypes
    
    import System.Process
    
    plugin :: Plugin
    plugin = defaultPlugin { holeFitPlugin = hfp, pluginRecompile = purePlugin }
    
    hfp :: [CommandLineOption] -> Maybe HoleFitPluginR
    hfp opts = Just (fromPureHFPlugin $ HoleFitPlugin (candP opts) (fp opts))
    
    toFilter :: Maybe String -> Maybe String
    toFilter = flip (>>=) (stripPrefix "_module_")
    
    replace :: Eq a => a -> a -> [a] -> [a]
    replace match repl str = replace' [] str
      where
        replace' sofar (x:xs) | x == match = replace' (repl:sofar) xs
        replace' sofar (x:xs) = replace' (x:sofar) xs
        replace' sofar [] = reverse sofar
    
    -- | This candidate plugin filters the candidates by module,
    --   using the name of the hole as module to search in
    candP :: [CommandLineOption] -> CandPlugin
    candP _ hole cands =
      do let he = case tyHCt hole of
                    Just (CHoleCan _ h) -> Just (occNameString $ holeOcc h)
                    _ -> Nothing
         case toFilter he of
            Just undscModName -> do let replaced = replace '_' '.' undscModName
                                    let res = filter (greNotInOpts [replaced]) cands
                                    return $ res
            _ -> return cands
      where greNotInOpts opts (GreHFCand gre)  = not $ null $ intersect (inScopeVia gre) opts
            greNotInOpts _ _ = True
            inScopeVia = map (moduleNameString . importSpecModule) . gre_imp
    
    -- Yes, it's pretty hacky, but it is just an example :)
    searchHoogle :: String -> IO [String]
    searchHoogle ty = lines <$> (readProcess "hoogle" [(show ty)] [])
    
    fp :: [CommandLineOption] -> FitPlugin
    fp ("hoogle":[]) hole hfs =
        do dflags <- getDynFlags
           let tyString = showSDoc dflags . ppr . ctPred <$> tyHCt hole
           res <- case tyString of
                    Just ty -> liftIO $ searchHoogle ty
                    _ -> return []
           return $ (take 2 $ map (RawHoleFit . text . ("Hoogle says: " ++)) res) ++ hfs
    fp _ _ hfs = return hfs
    
    ```
    
    with this plugin available, you can compile the following file
    
    ```
    {-# OPTIONS -fplugin=HolePlugin -fplugin-opt=HolePlugin:hoogle #-}
    module Main where
    
    import Prelude hiding (head, last)
    
    import Data.List (head, last)
    
    t :: [Int] -> Int
    t = _module_Prelude
    
    g :: [Int] -> Int
    g = _module_Data_List
    
    main :: IO ()
    main = print $ t [1,2,3]
    ```
    
    and get the following output:
    
    ```

    This relatively simple plugin has two functions, as an example of what
    is possible to do with hole fit plugins. The candidate plugin starts by
    filtering the candidates considered by module, indicated by the name of
    the hole (`_module_Data_List`). The second function is in the fit
    plugin, where the plugin invokes a local hoogle instance to search by
    the type of the hole.
    
    By adding the `RawHoleFit` type, we can also allow these completely free
    suggestions, used in the plugin above to display fits found by Hoogle.
    
    Additionally, the `HoleFitPluginR` wrapper can be used for plugins to
    maintain state between invocations, which can be used to speed up
    invocation of plugins that have expensive initialization.
    
    ```
    -- | HoleFitPluginR adds a TcRef to hole fit plugins so that plugins can
    -- track internal state. Note the existential quantification, ensuring that
    -- the state cannot be modified from outside the plugin.
    data HoleFitPluginR = forall s. HoleFitPluginR
      { hfPluginInit :: TcM (TcRef s)
        -- ^ Initializes the TcRef to be passed to the plugin
      , hfPluginRun :: TcRef s -> HoleFitPlugin
        -- ^ The function defining the plugin itself
      , hfPluginStop :: TcRef s -> TcM ()
        -- ^ Cleanup of state, guaranteed to be called even on error
      }
    ```
    
    Of course, the syntax here is up for debate, but hole fit plugins allow
    us to experiment relatively easily with ways to interact with
    typed-holes without having to dig deep into GHC.
