836 * Now unify with type of foo's arg, and we get:
837 {Num (C d a)} => C d a -> C d a
840 * Now abstract over the 'a', but float out the Num (C d a) constraint
841 because it does not 'really' mention a. (see exactTyVarsOfType)
842 The arg to foo becomes
845 * So we get a dict binding for Num (C d a), which is zonked to give
847 [Note Sept 04: now that we are zonking quantified type variables
848 on construction, the 'a' will be frozen as a regular tyvar on
849 quantification, so the floated dict will still have type (C d a).
850 Which renders this whole note moot; happily!]
852 * Then the \/\a abstraction has a zonked 'a' in it.
854 All very silly. I think its harmless to ignore the problem. We'll end up with
855 a \/\a in the final result but all the occurrences of a will be zonked to ()
857 Note [Zonking to Skolem]
858 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
859 We used to zonk quantified type variables to regular TyVars. However, this
860 leads to problems. Consider this program from the regression test suite:
862 eval :: Int -> String -> String -> String
863 eval 0 root actual = evalRHS 0 root actual
866 evalRHS 0 root actual = eval 0 root actual
868 It leads to the deferral of an equality
870 (String -> String -> String) ~ a
872 which is propagated up to the toplevel (see TcSimplify.tcSimplifyInferCheck).
873 In the meantime `a' is zonked and quantified to form `evalRHS's signature.
874 This has the *side effect* of also zonking the `a' in the deferred equality
875 (which at this point is being handed around wrapped in an implication
878 Finally, the equality (with the zonked `a') will be handed back to the
879 simplifier by TcRnDriver.tcRnSrcDecls calling TcSimplify.tcSimplifyTop.
880 If we zonk `a' with a regular type variable, we will have this regular type
881 variable now floating around in the simplifier, which in many places assumes to
882 only see proper TcTyVars.
884 We can avoid this problem by zonking with a skolem. The skolem is rigid
885 (which we requirefor a quantified variable), but is still a TcTyVar that the
886 simplifier knows how to deal with.

997 \subsection{Checking a user type}
999 %************************************************************************
1001 When dealing with a user-written type, we first translate it from an HsType
1002 to a Type, performing kind checking, and then check various things that should
1003 be true about it. We don't want to perform these checks at the same time
1004 as the initial translation because (a) they are unnecessary for interface-file
1005 types and (b) when checking a mutually recursive group of type and class decls,
1006 we can't "look" at the tycons/classes yet. Also, the checks are are rather
1007 diverse, and used to really mess up the other code.
1009 One thing we check for is 'rank'.
1011 Rank 0: monotypes (no foralls)
1012 Rank 1: foralls at the front only, Rank 0 inside
1013 Rank 2: foralls at the front, Rank 1 on left of fn arrow,
1015 basic ::= tyvar | T basic ... basic
1017 r2 ::= forall tvs. cxt => r2a
1018 r2a ::= r1 -> r2a | basic
1019 r1 ::= forall tvs. cxt => r0
1020 r0 ::= r0 -> r0 | basic
1022 Another thing is to check that type synonyms are saturated.
1023 This might not necessarily show up in kind checking.

1260 doing validity checking. This allows us to instantiate a synonym defn
1261 with a for-all type, or with a partially-applied type synonym.
1265 Here, T is partially applied, so it's illegal in H98. But if you
1266 expand S first, then T we get just
1270 IMPORTANT: suppose T is a type synonym. Then we must do validity
1271 checking on an appliation (T ty1 ty2)
1273 *either* before expansion (i.e. check ty1, ty2)
1274 *or* after expansion (i.e. expand T ty1 ty2, and then check)

1411 is ambiguous if P contains generic variables
1412 (i.e. one of the Vs) that are not mentioned in tau
1414 However, we need to take account of functional dependencies
1415 when we speak of 'mentioned in tau'. Example:
1416 class C a b | a -> b where ...
1418 forall x y. (C x y) => x
1419 is not ambiguous because x is mentioned and x determines y
1421 NB; the ambiguity check is only used for *user* types, not for types
1422 coming from inteface files. The latter can legitimately have
1423 ambiguous types. Example
1425 class S a where s :: a -> (Int,Int)
1426 instance S Char where s _ = (1,1)
1427 f:: S a => [a] -> Int -> (Int,Int)
1428 f (_::[a]) x = (a*x,b)
1429 where (a,b) = s (undefined::a)
1431 Here the worker for f gets the type
1432 fw :: forall a. S a => Int -> (# Int, Int #)
1434 If the list of tv_names is empty, we have a monotype, and then we
1435 don't need to check for ambiguity either, because the test can't fail

1483 In addition, GHC insists that at least one type variable

1707 Checking the context of a derived instance declaration
1709 %************************************************************************
1711 Note [Exotic derived instance contexts]
1712 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1713 In a 'derived' instance declaration, we *infer* the context. It's a
1714 bit unclear what rules we should apply for this; the Haskell report is
1715 silent. Obviously, constraints like (Eq a) are fine, but what about
1716 data T f a = MkT (f a) deriving( Eq )
1717 where we'd get an Eq (f a) constraint. That's probably fine too.
1719 One could go further: consider
1720 data T a b c = MkT (Foo a b c) deriving( Eq )
1721 instance (C Int a, Eq b, Eq c) => Eq (Foo a b c)
1723 Notice that this instance (just) satisfies the Paterson termination
1724 conditions. Then we *could* derive an instance decl like this:
1726 instance (C Int a, Eq b, Eq c) => Eq (T a b c)
1728 even though there is no instance for (C Int a), because there just
1729 *might* be an instance for, say, (C Int Bool) at a site where we
1730 need the equality instance for T's.
1732 However, this seems pretty exotic, and it's quite tricky to allow
1733 this, and yet give sensible error messages in the (much more common)
1734 case where we really want that instance decl for C.
1736 So for now we simply require that the derived instance context
1737 should have only type-variable constraints.
1739 Here is another example:
1740 data Fix f = In (f (Fix f)) deriving( Eq )
1741 Here, if we are prepared to allow -XUndecidableInstances we
1742 could derive the instance
1743 instance Eq (f (Fix f)) => Eq (Fix f)
1744 but this is so delicate that I don't think it should happen inside
1745 'deriving'. If you want this, write it yourself!
1747 NB: if you want to lift this condition, make sure you still meet the
1748 termination conditions! If not, the deriving mechanism generates
1749 larger and larger constraints. Example:
1751 data Seq a = Cons a (Seq (Succ a)) | Nil deriving Show
1753 Note the lack of a Show instance for Succ. First we'll generate
1754 instance (Show (Succ a), Show a) => Show (Seq a)
1756 instance (Show (Succ (Succ a)), Show (Succ a), Show a) => Show (Seq a)
1757 and so on. Instead we want to complain of no instance for (Show (Succ a)).
1761 Allow constraints which consist only of type variables, with no repeats.
