Ah, it seems Tidy doesn’t traverse the bindings that are created for typeclass methods. I guess the idea is that I should be able to recreate them from the typeclass declaration? So how do I know 1. which bindings exactly should be saved to reconstruct my original full desugared module and 2. How do I fill in these missing pieces during reconstruction?

OK, I must be doing something wrong then. I am now looking at Tidy (not Prep) output, and I see Core like this:

 

  showsPrec :: forall a. Show a => Int -> a -> ShowS

  [GblId[ClassOp],

   Arity=1,

   Caf=NoCafRefs,

   Str=<S!P(SL,A,A)>,

   RULES: Built in rule for showsPrec: "Class op showsPrec"]

  showsPrec

    = \ (@a_a1G3) (v_B1 :: Show a_a1G3) ->

        case v_B1 of v_B1 { C:Show v_B2 v_B3 v_B4 -> v_B2 }

 

so if I’m reading this right, these vs are still shadowing.

 

I am using tidyProgram on the output of hscSimplify, and then taking the cg_binds of its result. What else should I do to get tidy (heh) Tidy output?

So does that mean Tidy produces unique `occNameFS`s, and then `Prep`
breaks them?

 

Tidy does not produce unique OccNames.  Rather, it avoids shadowing, so that if you delete all the uniques and print out the program (which is precisely what happens in an .hi file) you'll still get something sensible.

 

I'm not sure whether or not Prep maintains this invariant.  There is no particular reason it should.  It might, but it is not (currently) a goal.
