It, in turn, must instantiate any type/dictionary args, before looking for an arrow type. But if it doesn't find an arrow type, it wants to generate a message like "f is applied to two arguments but its type only has one". To do that, it needs to know about the args that tcArgs has already munched up -- hence passing in n_val_args_in_call and arg_tys_so_far; and hence also the accumulating so_far arg to 'go'.

For example: 1. Consider f x = (*) We want to instantiate the type of (*) before returning, else we will infer the type f :: forall {a}. a -> forall b. Num b => b -> b -> b This is surely confusing for users. And worse, the monomorphism restriction won't work properly. The MR is dealt with in simplifyInfer, and simplifyInfer has no way of instantiating. This could perhaps be worked around, but it may be hard to know even when instantiation should happen. 2. Another reason. Consider f :: (?x :: Int) => a -> a g y = let ?x = 3::Int in f Here want to instantiate f's type so that the ?x::Int constraint gets discharged by the enclosing implicit-parameter binding. 3. Suppose one defines plus = (+). If we instantiate lazily, we will infer plus :: forall a. Num a => a -> a -> a. However, the monomorphism restriction compels us to infer plus :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer (or similar monotype). Indeed, the only way to know whether to apply the monomorphism restriction at all is to instantiate There is one place where we don't want to instantiate eagerly, namely in GHC.Tc.Module.tcRnExpr, which implements GHCi's :type command.

It's better to say that (Char->Char) ~ (forall a. a->a) fails. So roughly: * if the ty_expected has an outermost forall (i.e. skolemisation is the next thing we'd do) * and the ty_actual has no top-level polymorphism (but looking deeply) then we can revert to simple equality. But we need to be careful. These examples are all fine: * (Char->Char) <= (forall a. Char -> Char) ty_expected isn't really polymorphic * (Char->Char) <= (forall a. (a~Char) => a -> a) ty_expected isn't really polymorphic * (Char->Char) <= (forall a. F [a] Char -> Char) where type instance F [x] t = t ty_expected isn't really polymorphic If we prematurely go to equality we'll reject a program we should accept (e.g. #13752). So the test (which is only to improve error message) is very conservative: * ty_actual is /definitely/ monomorphic * ty_expected is /definitely/ polymorphic Note [Settting the argument context] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider we are doing the ambiguity check for the (bogus) f :: (forall a b. C b => a -> a) -> Int We'll call tcSubType ((forall a b. C b => a->a) -> Int ) ((forall a b. C b => a->a) -> Int ) with a UserTypeCtxt of (FunSigCtxt "f"). Then we'll do the co/contra thing on the argument type of the (->) -- and at that point we want to switch to a UserTypeCtxt of GenSigCtxt. Why? * Error messages. If we stick with FunSigCtxt we get errors like * Could not deduce: C b from the context: C b0 bound by the type signature for: f :: forall a b. C b => a->a But of course f does not have that type signature! Example tests: T10508, T7220a, Simple14 * Implications. We may decide to build an implication for the whole ambiguity check, but we don't need one for each level within it, and GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.alwaysBuildImplication checks the UserTypeCtxt. See Note [When to build an implication] Note [Wrapper returned from tcSubMult] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is no notion of multiplicity coercion in Core, therefore the wrapper returned by tcSubMult (and derived functions such as tcCheckUsage and checkManyPattern) is quite unlike any other wrapper: it checks whether the coercion produced by the constraint solver is trivial, producing a type error is it is not. This is implemented via the WpMultCoercion wrapper, as desugared by GHC.HsToCore.Binds.dsHsWrapper, which does the reflexivity check. This wrapper needs to be placed in the term; otherwise, checking of the eventual coercion won't be triggered during desugaring. But it can be put anywhere, since it doesn't affect the desugared code. Why do we check this in the desugarer? It's a convenient place, since it's right after all the constraints are solved. We need the constraints to be solved to check whether they are trivial or not. Plus there is precedent for type errors during desuraging (such as the levity polymorphism restriction).

If ty involves a type function we may defer, which isn't very sensible. An egregious example of this was in test T9872a, which has a type signature Proxy :: Proxy (Solutions Cubes) Doing the ambiguity check on this signature generates the equality Solutions Cubes ~ Solutions Cubes and currently the constraint solver normalises both sides at vast cost. This little short-cut in 'defer' helps quite a bit. Note [Care with type applications] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: type applications need a bit of care! They can match FunTy and TyConApp, so use splitAppTy_maybe NB: we've already dealt with type variables and Notes, so if one type is an App the other one jolly well better be too Note [Mismatched type lists and application decomposition] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When we find two TyConApps, you might think that the argument lists are guaranteed equal length. But they aren't. Consider matching w (T x) ~ Foo (T x y) We do match (w ~ Foo) first, but in some circumstances we simply create a deferred constraint; and then go ahead and match (T x ~ T x y). This came up in #3950. So either (a) either we must check for identical argument kinds when decomposing applications, (b) or we must be prepared for ill-kinded unification sub-problems Currently we adopt (b) since it seems more robust -- no need to maintain a global invariant. Note [Expanding synonyms during unification] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We expand synonyms during unification, but: * We expand *after* the variable case so that we tend to unify variables with un-expanded type synonym. This just makes it more likely that the inferred types will mention type synonyms understandable to the user * Similarly, we expand *after* the CastTy case, just in case the CastTy wraps a variable. * We expand *before* the TyConApp case. For example, if we have type Phantom a = Int and are unifying Phantom Int ~ Phantom Char it is *wrong* to unify Int and Char. * The problem case immediately above can happen only with arguments to the tycon. So we check for nullary tycons *before* expanding. This is particularly helpful when checking (* ~ *), because * is now a type synonym. Note [Deferred unification] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We may encounter a unification ty1 ~ ty2 that cannot be performed syntactically, and yet its consistency is undetermined. Previously, there was no way to still make it consistent. So a mismatch error was issued. Now these unifications are deferred until constraint simplification, where type family instances and given equations may (or may not) establish the consistency. Deferred unifications are of the form F ... ~ ... or x ~ ... where F is a type function and x is a type variable. E.g. id :: x ~ y => x -> y id e = e involves the unification x = y. It is deferred until we bring into account the context x ~ y to establish that it holds. If available, we defer original types (rather than those where closed type synonyms have already been expanded via tcCoreView). This is, as usual, to improve error messages. ************************************************************************ * * uUnfilledVar and friends * * ************************************************************************ @uunfilledVar@ is called when at least one of the types being unified is a variable.

This note only applied to /homogeneous/ equalities, in which both sides have the same kind. There are three reasons not to unify: 1. (SKOL-ESC) Skolem-escape Consider the constraint forall[2] a[2]. alpha[1] ~ Maybe a[2] If we unify alpha := Maybe a, the skolem 'a' may escape its scope. The level alpha[1] says that alpha may be used outside this constraint, where 'a' is not in scope at all. So we must not unify. Bottom line: when looking at a constraint alpha[n] := ty, do not unify if any free variable of 'ty' has level deeper (greater) than n 2. (UNTOUCHABLE) Untouchable unification variables Consider the constraint forall[2] a[2]. b[1] ~ Int => alpha[1] ~ Int There is no (SKOL-ESC) problem with unifying alpha := Int, but it might not be the principal solution. Perhaps the "right" solution is alpha := b. We simply can't tell. See "OutsideIn(X): modular type inference with local assumptions", section 2.2. We say that alpha[1] is "untouchable" inside this implication. Bottom line: at amibient level 'l', when looking at a constraint alpha[n] ~ ty, do not unify alpha := ty if there are any given equalities between levels 'n' and 'l'. Exactly what is a "given equality" for the purpose of (UNTOUCHABLE)? Answer: see Note [Tracking Given equalities] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad 3. (TYVAR-TV) Unifying TyVarTvs and CycleBreakerTvs This precondition looks at the MetaInfo of the unification variable: * TyVarTv: When considering alpha{tyv} ~ ty, if alpha{tyv} is a TyVarTv it can only unify with a type variable, not with a structured type. So if 'ty' is a structured type, such as (Maybe x), don't unify. * CycleBreakerTv: never unified, except by restoreTyVarCycles. Needless to say, all three have wrinkles: * (SKOL-ESC) Promotion. Given alpha[n] ~ ty, what if beta[k] is free in 'ty', where beta is a unification variable, and k>n? 'beta' stands for a monotype, and since it is part of a level-n type (equal to alpha[n]), we must /promote/ beta to level n. Just make up a fresh gamma[n], and unify beta[k] := gamma[n]. * (TYVAR-TV) Unification variables. Suppose alpha[tyv,n] is a level-n TyVarTv (see Note [TyVarTv] in GHC.Tc.Types.TcMType)? Now consider alpha[tyv,n] ~ Bool. We don't want to unify because that would break the TyVarTv invariant. What about alpha[tyv,n] ~ beta[tau,n], where beta is an ordinary TauTv? Again, don't unify, because beta might later be unified with, say Bool. (If levels permit, we reverse the orientation here; see Note [TyVar/TyVar orientation].) * (UNTOUCHABLE) Untouchability. When considering (alpha[n] ~ ty), how do we know whether there are any given equalities between level n and the ambient level? We answer in two ways: * In the eager unifier, we only unify if l=n. If not, alpha may be untouchable, and defer to the constraint solver. This check is made in GHC.Tc.Utils.uUnifilledVar2, in the guard isTouchableMetaTyVar. * In the constraint solver, we track where Given equalities occur and use that to guard unification in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.unifyTest More details in Note [Tracking Given equalities] in GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet Historical note: in the olden days (pre 2021) the constraint solver also used to unify only if l=n. Equalities were "floated" out of the implication in a separate step, so that they would become touchable. But the float/don't-float question turned out to be very delicate, as you can see if you look at the long series of Notes associated with GHC.Tc.Solver.floatEqualities, around Nov 2020. It's much easier to unify in-place, with no floating. Note [TyVar/TyVar orientation] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Given (a ~ b), should we orient the CEqCan as (a~b) or (b~a)? This is a surprisingly tricky question! This is invariant (TyEq:TV). The question is answered by swapOverTyVars, which is used - in the eager unifier, in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.uUnfilledVar1 - in the constraint solver, in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.canEqCanLHS2 First note: only swap if you have to! See Note [Avoid unnecessary swaps] So we look for a positive reason to swap, using a three-step test: * Level comparison. If 'a' has deeper level than 'b', put 'a' on the left. See Note [Deeper level on the left] * Priority. If the levels are the same, look at what kind of type variable it is, using 'lhsPriority'. Generally speaking we always try to put a MetaTv on the left in preference to SkolemTv or RuntimeUnkTv: a) Because the MetaTv may be touchable and can be unified b) Even if it's not touchable, GHC.Tc.Solver.floatEqualities looks for meta tyvars on the left Tie-breaking rules for MetaTvs: - CycleBreakerTv: This is essentially a stand-in for another type; it's untouchable and should have the same priority as a skolem: 0. - TyVarTv: These can unify only with another tyvar, but we can't unify a TyVarTv with a TauTv, because then the TyVarTv could (transitively) get a non-tyvar type. So give these a low priority: 1. - TauTv: This is the common case; we want these on the left so that they can be written to: 2. - RuntimeUnkTv: These aren't really meta-variables used in type inference, but just a convenience in the implementation of the GHCi debugger. Eagerly write to these: 3. See Note [RuntimeUnkTv] in GHC.Runtime.Heap.Inspect. * Names. If the level and priority comparisons are all equal, try to eliminate a TyVar with a System Name in favour of ones with a Name derived from a user type signature * Age. At one point in the past we tried to break any remaining ties by eliminating the younger type variable, based on their Uniques. See Note [Eliminate younger unification variables] (which also explains why we don't do this any more) Note [Unification variables on the left] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For wanteds, but not givens, swap (skolem ~ meta-tv) regardless of level, so that the unification variable is on the left. * We /don't/ want this for Givens because if we ave [G] a[2] ~ alpha[1] [W] Bool ~ a[2] we want to rewrite the wanted to Bool ~ alpha[1], so we can float the constraint and solve it. * But for Wanteds putting the unification variable on the left means an easier job when floating, and when reporting errors -- just fewer cases to consider. In particular, we get better skolem-escape messages: see #18114 Note [Deeper level on the left] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The most important thing is that we want to put tyvars with the deepest level on the left. The reason to do so differs for Wanteds and Givens, but either way, deepest wins! Simple. * Wanteds. Putting the deepest variable on the left maximise the chances that it's a touchable meta-tyvar which can be solved. * Givens. Suppose we have something like forall a[2]. b[1] ~ a[2] => beta[1] ~ a[2] If we orient the Given a[2] on the left, we'll rewrite the Wanted to (beta[1] ~ b[1]), and that can float out of the implication. Otherwise it can't. By putting the deepest variable on the left we maximise our changes of eliminating skolem capture. See also GHC.Tc.Solver.Monad Note [Let-bound skolems] for another reason to orient with the deepest skolem on the left. IMPORTANT NOTE: this test does a level-number comparison on skolems, so it's important that skolems have (accurate) level numbers. See #15009 for an further analysis of why "deepest on the left" is a good plan. Note [Avoid unnecessary swaps] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If we swap without actually improving matters, we can get an infinite loop. Consider work item: a ~ b inert item: b ~ c We canonicalise the work-item to (a ~ c). If we then swap it before adding to the inert set, we'll add (c ~ a), and therefore kick out the inert guy, so we get new work item: b ~ c inert item: c ~ a And now the cycle just repeats Historical Note [Eliminate younger unification variables] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Given a choice of unifying alpha := beta or beta := alpha we try, if possible, to eliminate the "younger" one, as determined by `ltUnique`. Reason: the younger one is less likely to appear free in an existing inert constraint, and hence we are less likely to be forced into kicking out and rewriting inert constraints. This is a performance optimisation only. It turns out to fix #14723 all by itself, but clearly not reliably so! It's simple to implement (see nicer_to_update_tv2 in swapOverTyVars). But, to my surprise, it didn't seem to make any significant difference to the compiler's performance, so I didn't take it any further. Still it seemed too nice to discard altogether, so I'm leaving these notes. SLPJ Jan 18. Note [Prevent unification with type families] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We prevent unification with type families because of an uneasy compromise. It's perfectly sound to unify with type families, and it even improves the error messages in the testsuite. It also modestly improves performance, at least in some cases. But it's disastrous for test case perf/compiler/T3064. Here is the problem: Suppose we have (F ty) where we also have [G] F ty ~ a. What do we do? Do we reduce F? Or do we use the given? Hard to know what's best. GHC reduces. This is a disaster for T3064, where the type's size spirals out of control during reduction. If we prevent unification with type families, then the solver happens to use the equality before expanding the type family. It would be lovely in the future to revisit this problem and remove this extra, unnecessary check. But we retain it for now as it seems to work better in practice. Revisited in Nov '20, along with removing flattening variables. Problem is still present, and the solution is still the same. Note [Refactoring hazard: metaTyVarUpdateOK] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I (Richard E.) have a sad story about refactoring this code, retained here to prevent others (or a future me!) from falling into the same traps. It all started with #11407, which was caused by the fact that the TyVarTy case of defer_me didn't look in the kind. But it seemed reasonable to simply remove the defer_me check instead. It referred to two Notes (since removed) that were out of date, and the fast_check code in occurCheckExpand seemed to do just about the same thing as defer_me. The one piece that defer_me did that wasn't repeated by occurCheckExpand was the type-family check. (See Note [Prevent unification with type families].) So I checked the result of occurCheckExpand for any type family occurrences and deferred if there were any. This was done in commit e9bf7bb5cc9fb3f87dd05111aa23da76b86a8967 . This approach turned out not to be performant, because the expanded type was bigger than the original type, and tyConsOfType (needed to see if there are any type family occurrences) looks through type synonyms. So it then struck me that we could dispense with the defer_me check entirely. This simplified the code nicely, and it cut the allocations in T5030 by half. But, as documented in Note [Prevent unification with type families], this destroyed performance in T3064. Regardless, I missed this regression and the change was committed as 3f5d1a13f112f34d992f6b74656d64d95a3f506d . Bottom lines: * defer_me is back, but now fixed w.r.t. #11407. * Tread carefully before you start to refactor here. There can be lots of hard-to-predict consequences. Note [Type synonyms and the occur check] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generally speaking we try to update a variable with type synonyms not expanded, which improves later error messages, unless looking inside a type synonym may help resolve a spurious occurs check error. Consider: type A a = () f :: (A a -> a -> ()) -> () f = \ _ -> () x :: () x = f (\ x p -> p x) We will eventually get a constraint of the form t ~ A t. The ok function above will properly expand the type (A t) to just (), which is ok to be unified with t. If we had unified with the original type A t, we would lead the type checker into an infinite loop. Hence, if the occurs check fails for a type synonym application, then (and *only* then), the ok function expands the synonym to detect opportunities for occurs check success using the underlying definition of the type synonym. The same applies later on in the constraint interaction code; see GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact, function @occ_check_ok@. Note [Non-TcTyVars in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Because the same code is now shared between unifying types and unifying kinds, we sometimes will see proper TyVars floating around the unifier. Example (from test case polykinds/PolyKinds12): type family Apply (f :: k1 -> k2) (x :: k1) :: k2 type instance Apply g y = g y When checking the instance declaration, we first *kind-check* the LHS and RHS, discovering that the instance really should be type instance Apply k3 k4 (g :: k3 -> k4) (y :: k3) = g y During this kind-checking, all the tyvars will be TcTyVars. Then, however, as a second pass, we desugar the RHS (which is done in functions prefixed with "tc" in GHC.Tc.TyCl"). By this time, all the kind-vars are proper TyVars, not TcTyVars, get some kind unification must happen. Thus, we always check if a TyVar is a TcTyVar before asking if it's a meta-tyvar. This used to not be necessary for type-checking (that is, before * :: *) because expressions get desugared via an algorithm separate from type-checking (with wrappers, etc.). Types get desugared very differently, causing this wibble in behavior seen here. -} -- | Breaks apart a function kind into its pieces. matchExpectedFunKind :: Outputable fun => fun -- ^ type, only for errors -> Arity -- ^ n: number of desired arrows -> TcKind -- ^ fun_ kind -> TcM Coercion -- ^ co :: fun_kind ~ (arg1 -> ... -> argn -> res) matchExpectedFunKind hs_ty n k = go n k where go 0 k = return (mkNomReflCo k) go n k | Just k' <- tcView k = go n k' go n k@(TyVarTy kvar) | isMetaTyVar kvar = do { maybe_kind <- readMetaTyVar kvar ; case maybe_kind of Indirect fun_kind -> go n fun_kind Flexi -> defer n k } go n (FunTy { ft_mult = w, ft_arg = arg, ft_res = res }) = do { co <- go (n-1) res ; return (mkTcFunCo Nominal (mkTcNomReflCo w) (mkTcNomReflCo arg) co) } go n other = defer n other defer n k = do { arg_kinds <- newMetaKindVars n ; res_kind <- newMetaKindVar ; let new_fun = mkVisFunTysMany arg_kinds res_kind origin = TypeEqOrigin { uo_actual = k , uo_expected = new_fun , uo_thing = Just (ppr hs_ty) , uo_visible = True } ; uType KindLevel origin k new_fun } {- ********************************************************************* * * Equality invariant checking * * ********************************************************************* -} {- Note [Checking for foralls] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unless we have -XImpredicativeTypes (which is a totally unsupported feature), we do not want to unify alpha ~ (forall a. a->a) -> Int So we look for foralls hidden inside the type, and it's convenient to do that at the same time as the occurs check (which looks for occurrences of alpha). However, it's not just a question of looking for foralls /anywhere/! Consider (alpha :: forall k. k->*) ~ (beta :: forall k. k->*) This is legal; e.g. dependent/should_compile/T11635. We don't want to reject it because of the forall in beta's kind, but (see Note [Occurrence checking: look inside kinds] in GHC.Core.Type) we do need to look in beta's kind. So we carry a flag saying if a 'forall' is OK, and switch the flag on when stepping inside a kind. Why is it OK? Why does it not count as impredicative polymorphism? The reason foralls are bad is because we reply on "seeing" foralls when doing implicit instantiation. But the forall inside the kind is fine. We'll generate a kind equality constraint (forall k. k->*) ~ (forall k. k->*) to check that the kinds of lhs and rhs are compatible. If alpha's kind had instead been (alpha :: kappa) then this kind equality would rightly complain about unifying kappa with (forall k. k->*) -} ---------------- {-# NOINLINE checkTyVarEq #-} -- checkTyVarEq becomes big after the `inline` fires checkTyVarEq :: DynFlags -> TcTyVar -> TcType -> CheckTyEqResult checkTyVarEq dflags tv ty = inline checkTypeEq dflags (TyVarLHS tv) ty -- inline checkTypeEq so that the `case`s over the CanEqLHS get blasted away {-# NOINLINE checkTyFamEq #-} -- checkTyFamEq becomes big after the `inline` fires checkTyFamEq :: DynFlags -> TyCon -- type function -> [TcType] -- args, exactly saturated -> TcType -- RHS -> CheckTyEqResult -- always drops cteTypeFamily checkTyFamEq dflags fun_tc fun_args ty = inline checkTypeEq dflags (TyFamLHS fun_tc fun_args) ty `cterRemoveProblem` cteTypeFamily -- inline checkTypeEq so that the `case`s over the CanEqLHS get blasted away checkTypeEq :: DynFlags -> CanEqLHS -> TcType -> CheckTyEqResult -- If cteHasNoProblem (checkTypeEq dflags lhs rhs), then lhs ~ rhs -- is a canonical CEqCan. -- -- In particular, this looks for: -- (a) a forall type (forall a. blah) -- (b) a predicate type (c => ty) -- (c) a type family; see Note [Prevent unification with type families] -- (d) a blocking coercion hole -- (e) an occurrence of the LHS (occurs check) -- -- Note that an occurs-check does not mean "definite error".
