I missed a crucial step in the wiring-in process of `CallStack` in D861,
the bit where you actually wire-in the Name... This led to a nasty bug
where GHC thought `CallStack` was not wired-in and tried to fingerprint
it, which failed because the defining module was not loaded.

But we don't need `CallStack` to be wired-in anymore since `error` and
`undefined` no longer need to be wired-in. So we just remove them all.

Updates haddock submodule.

GHC Trac Issues: #11331

As a result of some other unrelated changes I found that
IndTypesPerf was failing, and opened Trac #11408.  There's
a test in indexed-types/should-compile/T11408.

The bug was that a type like
 forall t. (MT (UL t) (UR t) ~ t) => UL t -> UR t -> Int
is in fact unambiguous, but it's a bit subtle to prove
that it is unambiguous.

In investigating, Dimitrios and I found several subtle
bugs in the constraint solver, fixed by this patch

* canRewrite was missing a Derived/Derived case.  This was
  lost by accident in Richard's big kind-equality patch.

* Interact.interactTyVarEq would discard [D] a ~ ty if there
  was a [W] a ~ ty in the inert set.  But that is wrong because
  the former can rewrite things that the latter cannot.
  Fix: a new function eqCanDischarge

* In TcSMonad.addInertEq, the process was outright wrong for
  a Given/Wanted in the (GWModel) case.  We were adding a new
  Derived without kicking out things that it could rewrite.
  Now the code is simpler (no special GWModel case), and works
  correctly.

* The special case in kickOutRewritable for [W] fsk ~ ty,
  turns out not to be needed.  (We emit a [D] fsk ~ ty which
  will do the job.

I improved comments and documentation, esp in TcSMonad.

Summary:
Certain syntactic elements have integers in them, such as fixity
specifications, SPECIALISE pragmas and so on.

The lexer will accept mult-radix literals, with arbitrary leading zeros
in these.

original literal text for use with API Annotations.

Consider

    type family F :: Type -> Type where
       F = TypeError (Text "Error")

Now, if we see something like `F Int` we should still report the custom
type error.

Summary:
The main goal here is enable stack traces in GHCi.  After this change,
if you start GHCi like this:

  ghci -fexternal-interpreter -prof

(which requires packages to be built for profiling, but not GHC
itself) then the interpreter manages cost-centre stacks during
execution and can produce a stack trace on request.  Call locations
are available for all interpreted code, and any compiled code that was
built with the `-fprof-auto` familiy of flags.

There are a couple of ways to get a stack trace:

* `error`/`undefined` automatically get one attached
* `Debug.Trace.traceStack` can be used anywhere, and prints the current
  stack

Because the interpreter is running in a separate process, only the
interpreted code is running in profiled mode and the compiler itself
isn't slowed down by profiling.

The GHCi debugger still doesn't work with -fexternal-interpreter,
although this patch gets it a step closer.  Most of the functionality
of breakpoints is implemented, but the runtime value introspection is
still not supported.

Along the way I also did some refactoring and added type arguments to
the various remote pointer types in `GHCi.RemotePtr`, so there's
better type safety and documentation in the bridge code between GHC
and ghc-iserv.

GHC Trac Issues: #11047, #11100

This change tidies up and simplifies (a bit) the knot-tying
when kind-checking groups of type and class declarations.

The trouble (shown by Trac #11356) was that we wanted an error message
(a kind-mismatch) that involved a type mentioned a (AThing k), which
blew up.

Since we now seem to have TcTyCons, I decided to use them here.
It's still not great, but it's easier to understand and more robust.

Trac #11437 showed that erroneous constraints from a 'deriving'
clause need to be wrapped in an Implication to properly scope
their skolems.

The main change is in TcDeriv.simplifyDeriv; the call to
buildImplicationFor is new.

Previously tidySkolemInfo used tidyOpenType, and returned a new
TidyEnv.  But that's not needed any more, because all the skolems
should be in scope in the constraint tree.

I also removed a (now-unnecessary) field of UnifyForAllSkol

Starting with GHC 7.10 and base-4.8, `Monad` implies `Applicative`,
which allows to simplify some definitions to exploit the superclass
relationship. This a first refactoring to that end.

This re-working of the typechecker algorithm is based on
the paper "Visible type application", by Richard Eisenberg,
Stephanie Weirich, and Hamidhasan Ahmed, to be published at
ESOP'16.

This patch introduces -XTypeApplications, which allows users
to say, for example `id @Int`, which has type `Int -> Int`. See
the changes to the user manual for details.

This patch addresses tickets #10619, #5296, #10589.

The main change is to add PatSynPE to PromotionErr, so that
when we get an ill-staged use of a pattern synonym we get a
civilised error message.

We were already doing this in half-baked form in tcValBinds, but
this patch tidies up the impl (which previously used a hack rather
than APromotionErr), and does it in tcTyClsInstDecls too.

Various tickets have revealed bad shortcomings in the typechecking of
pattern type synonyms.  Discussed a lot in (the latter part of)
Trac #11224.

This patch fixes the most complex issues:

- Both parser and renamer now treat pattern synonyms as an
  ordinary LHsSigType.  Nothing special.  Hooray.

- tcPatSynSig (now in TcPatSyn) typechecks the signature, and
  decomposes it into its pieces.
  See Note [Pattern synonym signatures]

- tcCheckPatSyn has had a lot of refactoring.
  See Note [Checking against a pattern signature]

The result is a lot tidier and more comprehensible.
Plus, it actually works!

NB: this patch doesn't actually address the precise
    target of #11224, namely "inlining pattern synonym
    does not preserve semantics".  That's an unrelated
    bug, with a separate patch.

GHC Trac Issues: #11224

Richard, pls take a look

Summary:
(Apologies for the size of this patch, I couldn't make a smaller one
that was validate-clean and also made sense independently)

(Some of this code is derived from GHCJS.)

This commit adds support for running interpreted code (for GHCi and
TemplateHaskell) in a separate process.  The functionality is
experimental, so for now it is off by default and enabled by the flag
-fexternal-interpreter.

Reaosns we want this:

* compiling Template Haskell code with -prof does not require
  building the code without -prof first

* when GHC itself is profiled, it can interpret unprofiled code, and
  the same applies to dynamic linking.  We would no longer need to
  force -dynamic-too with TemplateHaskell, and we can load ordinary
  objects into a dynamically-linked GHCi (and vice versa).

* An unprofiled GHCi can load and run profiled code, which means it
  can use the stack-trace functionality provided by profiling without
  taking the performance hit on the compiler that...

This supercedes the Note recently written in TysWiredIn.

This patch fulfils the request in Trac #11067, #10318, and #10592,
by lifting the conservative restrictions on superclass constraints.

These restrictions are there (and have been since Haskell was born) to
ensure that the transitive superclasses of a class constraint is a finite
set.  However (a) this restriction is conservative, and can be annoying
when there really is no recursion, and (b) sometimes genuinely recursive
superclasses are useful (see the tickets).

Dimitrios and I worked out that there is actually a relatively simple way
to do the job. It’s described in some detail in

   Note [The superclass story] in TcCanonical
   Note [Expanding superclasses] in TcType

In brief, the idea is to expand superclasses only finitely, but to
iterate (using a loop that already existed) if there are more
superclasses to explore.

Other small things

- I improved grouping of error messages a bit in TcErrors

- I re-centred the haddock.compiler test, which was at 9.8%
  above the norm, and which this patch pushed slightly over

Eric Seidel authored Dec 12, 2015 and Ben Gamari committed Dec 12, 2015

We can't just solve CallStack constraints indiscriminately when they
occur in the RHS of a let-binder. The top-level given CallStack (if
any) will not be in scope, so I've re-worked the CallStack solver as
follows:

1. CallStacks are treated like regular IPs unless one of the following
   two rules apply.

2. In a function call, we push the call-site onto a NEW wanted
   CallStack, which GHC will solve as a regular IP (either directly from a
   given, or by quantifying over it in a local let).

3. If, after the constraint solver is done, any wanted CallStacks
   remain, we default them to the empty CallStack. This rule exists mainly
   to clean up after rule 2 in a top-level binder with no given CallStack.

In rule (2) we have to be careful to emit the new wanted with an
IPOccOrigin instead of an OccurrenceOf origin, so rule (2) doesn't fire
again. This is a bit shady but I've updated the Note to explain the
trick.

GHC Trac Issues: #10845

This implements the ideas originally put forward in
"System FC with Explicit Kind Equality" (ICFP'13).

There are several noteworthy changes with this patch:
 * We now have casts in types. These change the kind
   of a type. See new constructor `CastTy`.

 * All types and all constructors can be promoted.
   This includes GADT constructors. GADT pattern matches
   take place in type family equations. In Core,
   types can now be applied to coercions via the
   `CoercionTy` constructor.

 * Coercions can now be heterogeneous, relating types
   of different kinds. A coercion proving `t1 :: k1 ~ t2 :: k2`
   proves both that `t1` and `t2` are the same and also that
   `k1` and `k2` are the same.

 * The `Coercion` type has been significantly enhanced.
   The documentation in `docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf` reflects
   the new reality.

 * The type of `*` is now `*`. No more `BOX`.

 * Users can write explicit kind variables in their code,
   anywhere they can write type variables. For backward compatibility,
   automatic inference of kind-variable binding is still permitted.

 * The new extension `TypeInType` turns on the new user-facing
   features.

 * Type families and synonyms are now promoted to kinds. This causes
   trouble with parsing `*`, leading to the somewhat awkward new
   `HsAppsTy` constructor for `HsType`. This is dispatched with in
   the renamer, where the kind `*` can be told apart from a
   type-level multiplication operator. Without `-XTypeInType` the
   old behavior persists. With `-XTypeInType`, you need to import
   `Data.Kind` to get `*`, also known as `Type`.

 * The kind-checking algorithms in TcHsType have been significantly
   rewritten to allow for enhanced kinds.

 * The new features are still quite experimental and may be in flux.

 * TODO: Several open tickets: #11195, #11196, #11197, #11198, #11203.

 * TODO: Update user manual.

Tickets addressed: #9017, #9173, #7961, #10524, #8566, #11142.
Updates Haddock submodule.

* Remove unused Kind result of getUserTypeErrorMsg
* Rename isUserErrorTy  -->   userTypeError_maybe

This patch adresses several problems concerned with exhaustiveness and
redundancy checking of pattern matching. The list of improvements includes:

* Making the check type-aware (handles GADTs, Type Families, DataKinds, etc.).
  This fixes #4139, #3927, #8970 and other related tickets.

* Making the check laziness-aware. Cases that are overlapped but affect
  evaluation are issued now with "Patterns have inaccessible right hand side".
  Additionally, "Patterns are overlapped" is now replaced by "Patterns are
  redundant".

* Improved messages for literals. This addresses tickets #5724, #2204, etc.

* Improved reasoning concerning cases where simple and overloaded
  patterns are matched (See #322).

* Substantially improved reasoning for pattern guards. Addresses #3078.

* OverloadedLists extension does not break exhaustiveness checking anymore
  (addresses #9951). Note that in general this cannot be handled but if we know
  that an argument has type '[a]', we treat it as a list since, the instance of
  'IsList' gives the identity for both 'fromList' and 'toList'. If the type is
  not clear or is not the list type, then the check cannot do much still. I am
  a bit concerned about OverlappingInstances though, since one may override the
  '[a]' instance with e.g. an '[Int]' instance that is not the identity.

* Improved reasoning for nested pattern matching (partial solution). Now we
  propagate type and (some) term constraints deeper when checking, so we can
  detect more inconsistencies. For example, this is needed for #4139.

I am still not satisfied with several things but I would like to address at
least the following before the next release:
    Term constraints are too many and not printed for non-exhaustive matches
(with the exception of literals). This sometimes results in two identical (in
appearance) uncovered warnings. Unless we actually show their difference, I
would like to have a single warning.

This patch began as a modest refactoring of HsType and friends, to
clarify and tidy up exactly where quantification takes place in types.
Although initially driven by making the implementation of wildcards more
tidy (and fixing a number of bugs), I gradually got drawn into a pretty
big process, which I've been doing on and off for quite a long time.

There is one compiler performance regression as a result of all
this, in perf/compiler/T3064.  I still need to look into that.

* The principal driving change is described in Note [HsType binders]
  in HsType.  Well worth reading!

* Those data type changes drive almost everything else.  In particular
  we now statically know where

       (a) implicit quantification only (LHsSigType),
           e.g. in instance declaratios and SPECIALISE signatures

       (b) implicit quantification and wildcards (LHsSigWcType)
           can appear, e.g. in function type signatures

* As part of this change, HsForAllTy is (a) simplified (no wildcards)
  and (b) split into HsForAllTy and HsQualTy.  The two contructors
  appear when and only when the correponding user-level construct
  appears.  Again see Note [HsType binders].

  HsExplicitFlag disappears altogether.

* Other simplifications

     - ExprWithTySig no longer needs an ExprWithTySigOut variant

     - TypeSig no longer needs a PostRn name [name] field
       for wildcards

     - PatSynSig records a LHsSigType rather than the decomposed
       pieces

     - The mysterious 'GenericSig' is now 'ClassOpSig'

* Renamed LHsTyVarBndrs to LHsQTyVars

* There are some uninteresting knock-on changes in Haddock,
  because of the HsSyn changes

I also did a bunch of loosely-related changes:

* We already had type synonyms CoercionN/CoercionR for nominal and
  representational coercions.  I've added similar treatment for

      TcCoercionN/TcCoercionR

      mkWpCastN/mkWpCastN

  All just type synonyms but jolly useful.

* I record-ised ForeignImport and ForeignExport

* I improved the (poor) fix to Trac #10896, by making
  TcTyClsDecls.checkValidTyCl recover from errors, but adding a
  harmless, abstract TyCon to the envt if so.

* I did some significant refactoring in RnEnv.lookupSubBndrOcc,
  for reasons that I have (embarrassingly) now totally forgotten.
  It had to do with something to do with import and export

This is the second attempt at merging D757.

This patch implements the idea floated in Trac #9858, namely that we
should generate type-representation information at the data type
declaration site, rather than when solving a Typeable constraint.

However, this turned out quite a bit harder than I expected. I still
think it's the right thing to do, and it's done now, but it was quite
a struggle.

See particularly

 * Note [Grand plan for Typeable] in TcTypeable (which is a new module)
 * Note [The overall promotion story] in DataCon (clarifies existing
stuff)

The most painful bit was that to generate Typeable instances (ie
TyConRepName bindings) for every TyCon is tricky for types in ghc-prim
etc:

 * We need to have enough data types around to *define* a TyCon
 * Many of these types are wired-in

Also, to minimise the code generated for each data type, I wanted to
generate pure data, not CAFs with unpackCString# stuff floating about.

Performance
~~~~~~~~~~~
Three perf/compiler tests start to allocate quite a bit more. This isn't
surprising, because they all allocate zillions of data types, with
practically no other code, esp. T1969

 * T1969:    GHC allocates 19% more
 * T4801:    GHC allocates 13% more
 * T5321FD:  GHC allocates 13% more
 * T9675:    GHC allocates 11% more
 * T783:     GHC allocates 11% more
 * T5642:    GHC allocates 10% more

I'm treating this as acceptable. The payoff comes in Typeable-heavy
code.

Remaining to do
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * I think that "TyCon" and "Module" are over-generic names to use for
   the runtime type representations used in GHC.Typeable. Better might
be
   "TrTyCon" and "TrModule". But I have not yet done this

 * Add more info the the "TyCon" e.g. source location where it was
   defined

 * Use the new "Module" type to help with Trac Trac #10068

 * It would be possible to generate TyConRepName (ie Typeable
   instances) selectively rather than all the time. We'd need to persist
   the information in interface files. Lacking a motivating reason I
have
   not done this, but it would not be difficult.

Refactoring
~~~~~~~~~~~
As is so often the case, I ended up refactoring more than I intended.
In particular

 * In TyCon, a type *family* (whether type or data) is repesented by a
   FamilyTyCon
     * a algebraic data type (including data/newtype instances) is
       represented by AlgTyCon This wasn't true before; a data family
       was represented as an AlgTyCon. There are some corresponding
       changes in IfaceSyn.

     * Also get rid of the (unhelpfully named) tyConParent.

 * In TyCon define 'Promoted', isomorphic to Maybe, used when things are
   optionally promoted; and use it elsewhere in GHC.

 * Cleanup handling of knownKeyNames

 * Each TyCon, including promoted TyCons, contains its TyConRepName, if
   it has one. This is, in effect, the name of its Typeable instance.

GHC Trac Issues: #9858

This patch implements an improvment that I've wanted to do for ages, but
never gotten around to.

Unused imports are computed based on how imported entities occur (qualified,
unqualified).   This info was accumulated in tcg_used_rdrnames :: Set RdrName.
But that was a huge pain, and it got worse when we introduced duplicate
record fields.

The Right Thing is to record tcg_used_gres :: [GlobalRdrElt], which records
the GRE *after* filtering with pickGREs.  See Note [GRE filtering] in RdrName.
This is much, much bette.  This patch deletes quite a bit of code, and is
conceptually much easier to follow.

 * T4801:   GHC allocates 14% more
 * T5321FD: GHC allocates 13% more
 * T783:    GHC allocates 12% more
 * T9675:   GHC allocates 12% more
 * T5642:   GHC allocates 10% more
 * T9961:   GHC allocates 6% more

 * T9203:   Program allocates 54% less

I'm treating this as acceptable. The payoff comes in Typeable-heavy
code.

Remaining to do
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * I think that "TyCon" and "Module" are over-generic names to use for
   the runtime type representations used in GHC.Typeable. Better might be
   "TrTyCon" and "TrModule". But I have not yet done this

 * Add more info the the "TyCon" e.g. source location where it was
   defined

 * Use the new "Module" type to help with Trac Trac #10068

 * It would be possible to generate TyConRepName (ie Typeable
   instances) selectively rather than all the time. We'd need to persist
   the information in interface files. Lacking a motivating reason I have
   not done this, but it would not be difficult.

Refactoring
~~~~~~~~~~~
As is so often the case, I ended up refactoring more than I intended.
In particular

 * In TyCon, a type *family* (whether type or data) is repesented by a
   FamilyTyCon
     * a algebraic data type (including data/newtype instances) is
       represented by AlgTyCon This wasn't true before; a data family
       was represented as an AlgTyCon. There are some corresponding
       changes in IfaceSyn.

     * Also get rid of the (unhelpfully named) tyConParent.

 * In TyCon define 'Promoted', isomorphic to Maybe, used when things are
   optionally promoted; and use it elsewhere in GHC.

 * Cleanup handling of knownKeyNames

 * Each TyCon, including promoted TyCons, contains its TyConRepName, if
   it has one. This is, in effect, the name of its Typeable instance.

Requires update of the haddock submodule.

This patch refactors pure/(*>) and return/(>>) in MRP-friendly way, i.e.
such that the explicit definitions for `return` and `(>>)` match the
MRP-style default-implementation, i.e.

  return = pure

and

  (>>) = (*>)

This way, e.g. all `return = pure` definitions can easily be grepped and
removed in GHC 8.1;
