Simon Peyton Jones pushed to branch wip/T26868 at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 18d3e6b1 by Simon Peyton Jones at 2026-03-27T17:26:59+00:00 Major refactor of free-variable functions For some time we have had two free-variable mechanims for types: * The "FV" mechanism, embodied in GHC.Utils.FV, which worked OK, but was fragile where eta-expansion was concerned. * The TyCoFolder mechanism, using a one-shot EndoOS accumulator I finally got tired of this and refactored the whole thing, thereby addressing #27080. Now we have * `GHC.Types.Var.FV`, which has a composable free-variable result type, very much in the spirit of the old `FV`, but much more robust. (It uses the "one shot trick".) * GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs now has just one technology for free variables. All this led to a lot of renaming. There are couple of error-message changes. The change in T18451 makes an already-poor error message even more mysterious. But it really needs a separate look. - - - - - 81 changed files: - compiler/GHC/Core/Coercion.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/FVs.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/DmdAnal.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/SetLevels.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Opt/Specialise.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Rules.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Subst.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCo/FVs.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/TyCo/Rep.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Type.hs - compiler/GHC/Core/Unify.hs - compiler/GHC/Hs/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Binds.hs - compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Ticks.hs - compiler/GHC/Iface/Ext/Ast.hs - compiler/GHC/Iface/Syntax.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Bind.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Env.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Expr.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Expr.hs-boot - compiler/GHC/Rename/HsType.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Lit.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Module.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Pat.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Splice.hs - compiler/GHC/Rename/Splice.hs-boot - compiler/GHC/Rename/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Deriv.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Errors/Hole.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/App.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Instance/Family.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Instance/FunDeps.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Module.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/TyCl/Utils.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/Constraint.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/Evidence.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Utils/TcType.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Utils/Unify.hs - compiler/GHC/Tc/Validity.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Name/Set.hs - + compiler/GHC/Types/Var/FV.hs - compiler/GHC/Types/Var/Set.hs - compiler/GHC/Utils/EndoOS.hs - − compiler/GHC/Utils/FV.hs - compiler/ghc.cabal.in - testsuite/tests/count-deps/CountDepsAst.stdout - testsuite/tests/count-deps/CountDepsParser.stdout - testsuite/tests/cpranal/should_compile/T18401.stderr - testsuite/tests/deriving/should_fail/deriving-via-fail4.stderr - testsuite/tests/indexed-types/should_fail/T2693.stderr - testsuite/tests/interface-stability/base-exports.stdout - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_compile/T10403.stderr - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_compile/T12844.stderr - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_compile/T15039a.stderr - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_compile/T15039b.stderr - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_compile/T15039c.stderr - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_compile/T15039d.stderr - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_fail/T10999.stderr - testsuite/tests/partial-sigs/should_fail/T12634.stderr - testsuite/tests/polykinds/T15789.stderr - testsuite/tests/polykinds/T18451.stderr - testsuite/tests/polykinds/T7328.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/DsSpecPragmas.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T24229a.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T24229b.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T24359a.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T26116.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/T4908.stderr - testsuite/tests/simplCore/should_compile/spec-inline.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/no_skolem_info/T20063.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/T25180.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/free_monad_hole_fits.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T10971d.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T12589.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T13311.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T17773.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T2846b.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T7851.stderr - testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_fail/T8603.stderr - utils/haddock/haddock-api/src/Haddock/GhcUtils.hs The diff was not included because it is too large.
