#12580: Eagerly simplify inherently-coherent instances -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 (Type checker) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1/docs/html/libraries/ghc-8.0.1/src/…] explains that `~~` and `~` are "inherently coherent", so GHC can reduce them immediately to their constraints. It seems to me that certain user- written classes can also be seen to be inherently coherent in this fashion. Specifically, given {{{#!hs class constraintC => C a1 a2 ... instance constraintI => C a1 a2 ... }}} where `a1`, `a2`, etc., are type variables, `C` is inherently coherent if both of the following hold: 1. `C` has no methods whatsoever. 2. `constraintC` entails `constraintI` (so the constraints are effectively identical). I believe in these cases GHC can and probably should reduce `C a1 a2` immediately to `constraintC`. Condition (2) is more general that we really need; in realistic cases, the constraints will be identical up to alpha renaming because most people don't write obfuscated code. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12580> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Remember: * This ticket was raised 4+ years ago (strewth!) when there were huge debates raging about the "Records problem" and a great deal of nothing had been achieved. (It was even before PolyKinds and type-level Strings IIRC.) I wanted to free up some of the design space. * I am not an implementor, so what the ticket requests is in terms of an end-programmer's view. * My remarks just above (and back then) re field labels vs selectors are in terms of the language report [section 3.15] "[Field] Selectors are top level bindings ... This [name] shadowing only affects selector functions; in record construction (Section 3.15.2) and update (Section 3.15.3), field labels cannot be confused with ordinary variables." > When I read this ticket I didn't imagine that enabling this flag would allow duplicate field labels, ... No that wasn't the aim. I was merely aiming to avoid gobbling up the name space. DuplicateRecordFields is a different way to avoid it. > ... just suppress the generation of the field accessors. > > Anyway, this ticket was instructive because it showed how tightly intertwined the implementation is. Yes. Isn't it! I rather wish I hadn't found that out. We still seem a long way from a decent records system. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5972#comment:17> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This ticket was written way before SPJ and Adam arrived at that approach. There might still be some lensaholics who hanker after the namespace. For the record ... > > > A field label and record selector are currently the same thing. > > You might think that because they are spelt the same, and one always comes with the other under H98, but actually as at H98 they're not.

It is not first-class; only syntax sugar for positional access to the fields of the constructor. > > I agree there are namespace concerns if a user creates their own function with the same name (which is indeed the purpose). This chiefly affects module export/import. See the link in the OP for more detail. > > > It would seem that a correct solution would place field labels in a separate namespace ... > > I believe the pre-DuplicateRecordFields implementation unsugarred the field labels so they didn't occupy a namespace atall. Perhaps the situation is now different with Overloaded labels. Hi Ant, yes, I am one of those 'lensaholics'. Adam is right that I was referring to the implementation where a field label is identified by the `Name` of the selector (in the non-overloaded case). I don't think this is related to overloaded record fields really. When I read this ticket I didn't imagine that enabling this flag would allow duplicate field labels, just suppress the generation of the field accessors. Anyway, this ticket was instructive because it showed how tightly intertwined the implementation is. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5972#comment:16> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
