[GHC] #14662: Partial type signatures + mutual recursion = confusion

#14662: Partial type signatures + mutual recursion = confusion -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I'm trying to understand better how partial type signatures interact with mutual recursion. This is all in 8.4.1-alpha1. Example 1: {{{#!hs f :: forall a. _ -> a -> a f _ x = g True x g :: forall b. _ -> b -> b g _ x = f 'x' x }}} This works -- no problem. Example 2: {{{#!hs f :: forall a. _ -> a -> a f _ x = snd (g True 'a', x) g :: forall b. _ -> b -> b g _ x = f 'x' x }}} This fails, explaining that GHC inferred `g :: Bool -> a -> a` and that `a` doesn't match `Char` (in the second argument of the call site in the body of `f`). This is unsatisfactory because clearly `g` should be ''instantiated'' at `Char`. The manual does say that polymorphic recursion isn't available with partial type signatures, and I suppose this is an example of polymorphic (mutual) recursion. Example 3: {{{#!hs f :: forall a. _ -> a -> a f _ x = snd (g True 'a', x) where g :: forall b. _ -> b -> b g _ y = f 'x' y }}} This is accepted. This is the same example as the last one, but now `g` is local. It does not capture any variables (including type variables) from `f`, so it seems to me that it should be equivalent to Example 2. But somehow GHC is clever enough to accept. Example 4: {{{#!hs thdOf3 (_, _, c) = c f :: forall a. _ -> a -> a f _ x = thdOf3 (g True 'a', g False 5, x) where g :: forall b. _ -> b -> b g _ y = f 'x' y }}} This works, too. Note that `g` is applied at several different types, so it really is being generalized. Example 5: {{{#!hs f :: Int -> forall a. _ -> a -> a f n _ x = snd (g n True 'a', x) g :: Int -> forall b. _ -> b -> b g n _ x = f n 'x' x }}} This is accepted. This is the same as Example 2, but each function now takes an `Int`, which is simply passed back and forth. Evidently, when you write the type non-prenex, polymorphic recursion is OK. Example 6: {{{#!hs f :: Int -> forall a. _ -> a -> a f n _ x = snd (f n True 'x', x) }}} This is accepted, even though it's blatantly using polymorphic recursion. Example 7: {{{#!hs f :: forall a. _ -> a -> a f _ x = snd (f True 'x', x) }}} This is rejected as polymorphically recursive. -------------------------- Something is fishy here. It's not the explicit prenex `forall`s -- leaving those out doesn't change the behavior. I guess my big question is this: * If the user quantifies a partial type signature (either by using `forall`, or just using an out-of-scope type variable and using Haskell's implicit quantification), why can't we use polymorphic recursion with that variable? I understand why we can't use polymorphic recursion with wildcards. ----------------------------------- A little background for context: I'm struggling (in my work on #14066) with GHC's use of `SigTv`s for partial type signatures. I don't have a better suggestion, but `SigTv`s never make me feel good. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14662> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

If I change it to `f x = __impossible "Oops!"`, ghc crashes. The definition of `__impossible` is simply `__impossible s = error $ s ++ "some text"`. The code can be found here: https://github.com/NICTA/cogent/blob/92c40530cbcbac77469865e096dab3228a2fb9… and https://github.com/NICTA/cogent/blob/92c40530cbcbac77469865e096dab3228a2fb9… It seems that this bug is not limited to 8.2.2; it also happened in 8.2.1. I'm happy to provide more information, if someone can advice me what is needed. I'll also try to shrink it to a small test case. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14777> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
