Here is the key stuff from GHC.TypeNats class KnownNat (n :: Nat) where natSing :: SNat n newtype SNat (n :: Nat) = SNat Natural Conceptually, this class has infinitely many instances: instance KnownNat 0 where natSing = SNat 0 instance KnownNat 1 where natSing = SNat 1 instance KnownNat 2 where natSing = SNat 2 ... In practice, we solve `KnownNat` predicates in the type-checker (see GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact) because we can't have infinitely many instances. The evidence (aka "dictionary") for `KnownNat` is of the form `EvLit (EvNum n)`. We make the following assumptions about dictionaries in GHC: 1. The "dictionary" for classes with a single method---like `KnownNat`---is a newtype for the type of the method, so using a evidence amounts to a coercion, and 2. Newtypes use the same representation as their definition types. So, the evidence for `KnownNat` is just a value of the representation type, wrapped in two newtype constructors: one to make it into a `SNat` value, and another to make it into a `KnownNat` dictionary. Also note that `natSing` and `SNat` are never actually exposed from the library---they are just an implementation detail. Instead, users see a more convenient function, defined in terms of `natSing`: natVal :: KnownNat n => proxy n -> Natural The reason we don't use this directly in the class is that it is simpler and more efficient to pass around a Natural rather than an entire function, especially when the `KnownNat` evidence is packaged up in an existential. The story for kind `Symbol` is analogous: * class KnownSymbol * newtype SSymbol * Evidence: a Core literal (e.g. mkNaturalExpr) Note [Fabricating Evidence for Literals in Backpack] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let `T` be a type of kind `Nat`. When solving for a purported instance of `KnownNat T`, ghc tries to resolve the type `T` to an integer `n`, in which case the evidence `EvLit (EvNum n)` is generated on the fly. It might appear that this is sufficient as users cannot define their own instances of `KnownNat`. However, for backpack module this would not work (see issue #15379). Consider the signature `Abstract` > signature Abstract where > data T :: Nat > instance KnownNat T and a module `Util` that depends on it: > module Util where > import Abstract > printT :: IO () > printT = do print $ natVal (Proxy :: Proxy T) Clearly, we need to "use" the dictionary associated with `KnownNat T` in the module `Util`, but it is too early for the compiler to produce a real dictionary as we still have not fixed what `T` is. Only when we mixin a concrete module > module Concrete where > type T = 42 do we really get hold of the underlying integer. So the strategy that we follow is the following 1. If T is indeed available as a type alias for an integer constant, generate the dictionary on the fly, failing which 2. Look up the type class environment for the evidence. Finally actual code gets generate for Util only when a module like Concrete gets "mixed-in" in place of the signature Abstract. As a result all things, including the typeclass instances, in Concrete gets reexported. So `KnownNat` gets resolved the normal way post-Backpack. A similar generation works for `KnownSymbol` as well -} matchKnownNat :: DynFlags -> Bool -- True <=> caller is the short-cut solver -- See Note [Shortcut solving: overlap] -> Class -> [Type] -> TcM ClsInstResult matchKnownNat _ _ clas [ty] -- clas = KnownNat | Just n <- isNumLitTy ty = makeLitDict clas ty (mkNaturalExpr n) matchKnownNat df sc clas tys = matchInstEnv df sc clas tys -- See Note [Fabricating Evidence for Literals in Backpack] for why -- this lookup into the instance environment is required. matchKnownSymbol :: DynFlags -> Bool -- True <=> caller is the short-cut solver -- See Note [Shortcut solving: overlap] -> Class -> [Type] -> TcM ClsInstResult matchKnownSymbol _ _ clas [ty] -- clas = KnownSymbol | Just s <- isStrLitTy ty = do et <- mkStringExprFS s makeLitDict clas ty et matchKnownSymbol df sc clas tys = matchInstEnv df sc clas tys -- See Note [Fabricating Evidence for Literals in Backpack] for why -- this lookup into the instance environment is required. matchKnownChar :: DynFlags -> Bool -- True <=> caller is the short-cut solver -- See Note [Shortcut solving: overlap] -> Class -> [Type] -> TcM ClsInstResult matchKnownChar _ _ clas [ty] -- clas = KnownChar | Just s <- isCharLitTy ty = makeLitDict clas ty (mkCharExpr s) matchKnownChar df sc clas tys = matchInstEnv df sc clas tys -- See Note [Fabricating Evidence for Literals in Backpack] for why -- this lookup into the instance environment is required. makeLitDict :: Class -> Type -> EvExpr -> TcM ClsInstResult -- makeLitDict adds a coercion that will convert the literal into a dictionary -- of the appropriate type.

For forall's the case is clear: we simply don't have a TypeRep for them. For qualified but not polymorphic types, like (Eq a => a -> a), things are murkier. But: * We don't need a TypeRep for these things. TypeReps are for monotypes only. * Perhaps we could treat `=>` as another type constructor for `Typeable` purposes, and thus support things like `Eq Int => Int`, however, at the current state of affairs this would be an odd exception as no other class works with impredicative types. For now we leave it off, until we have a better story for impredicativity. Note [Typeable for Nat and Symbol] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We have special Typeable instances for Nat and Symbol. Roughly we have this instance, implemented here by doTyLit: instance KnownNat n => Typeable (n :: Nat) where typeRep = typeNatTypeRep @n where Data.Typeable.Internal.typeNatTypeRep :: KnownNat a => TypeRep a Ultimately typeNatTypeRep uses 'natSing' from KnownNat to get a runtime value 'n'; it turns it into a string with 'show' and uses that to whiz up a TypeRep TyCon for 'n', with mkTypeLitTyCon. See #10348.

Then GHC will automatically solve a constraint like HasField "foo" (T Int) b by emitting a new wanted T alpha -> [alpha] ~# T Int -> b and building a HasField dictionary out of the selector function `foo`, appropriately cast. The HasField class is defined (in GHC.Records) thus: class HasField (x :: k) r a | x r -> a where getField :: r -> a Since this is a one-method class, it is represented as a newtype. Hence we can solve `HasField "foo" (T Int) b` by taking an expression of type `T Int -> b` and casting it using the newtype coercion. Note that foo :: forall y . T y -> [y] so the expression we construct is foo @alpha |> co where co :: (T alpha -> [alpha]) ~# HasField "foo" (T Int) b is built from co1 :: (T alpha -> [alpha]) ~# (T Int -> b) which is the new wanted, and co2 :: (T Int -> b) ~# HasField "foo" (T Int) b which can be derived from the newtype coercion. If `foo` is not in scope, or has a higher-rank or existentially quantified type, then the constraint is not solved automatically, but may be solved by a user-supplied HasField instance. Similarly, if we encounter a HasField constraint where the field is not a literal string, or does not belong to the type, then we fall back on the normal constraint solver behaviour. Note [Unused name reporting and HasField] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When a HasField constraint is solved by the type-checker, we must record a use of the corresponding field name, as otherwise it might be reported as unused. See #19213. We need to call keepAlive to add the name to the tcg_keep set, which accumulates names used by the constraint solver, as described by Note [Tracking unused binding and imports] in GHC.Tc.Types. We need to call addUsedGRE as well because there may be a deprecation warning on the field, which will be reported by addUsedGRE. But calling addUsedGRE without keepAlive is not enough, because the field might be defined locally, and addUsedGRE extends tcg_used_gres with imported GREs only. -} -- See Note [HasField instances] matchHasField :: DynFlags -> Bool -> Class -> [Type] -> TcM ClsInstResult matchHasField dflags short_cut clas tys = do { fam_inst_envs <- tcGetFamInstEnvs ; rdr_env <- getGlobalRdrEnv ; case tys of -- We are matching HasField {k} x r a...
