Another attempt to make unbound type

Sigh.  I'm trying to find the unbound type variables on the LHS of a
RULE.  I thought I could just gather free vars, but that does not work
well on an un-zonked LHS, because a big lambda might bind a type variable
that looks different (pre-zonking) but isn't really.

Oh well, back to plan B which is more work but more robust.

Now the zonking phase (in TcHsSyn) arranges to zonk types in a different
way (zonkTypeCollecting) on a rule LHS than in ordinary expressions
(zonkTypeZapping).  This is less dependent on the exact form of the LHS
(good) but involves another mutable variable (not unclean, but it's sad
to have to admit that mutable variables do sometimes allow you to make
non-invasive changes).

   Quantify over unbound type vars in RULE lhs's
--------------------------------

-- We need to gather the type variables mentioned on the LHS so we can
-- quantify over them.  Example:
--   data T a = C
--
--   foo :: T a -> Int
--   foo C = 1
--
--   {-# RULES "myrule"  foo C = 1 #-}
--
-- After type checking the LHS becomes (foo a (C a))
-- and we do not want to zap the unbound tyvar 'a' to (), because
-- that limits the applicability of the rule.  Instead, we
-- want to quantify over it!

This commit fixes the problem, discovered by Manuel.  It uses a
free-variable finder for RULE lhs's (TcRule.ruleLhsTvs) which relies
on the fact that the LHS of a rule can only take ver forms
(c.f RnSource.validRuleLhs).

Make Template Haskell into the HEAD
--------------------------------------

This massive commit transfers to the HEAD all the stuff that
Simon and Tim have been doing on Template Haskell.  The
meta-haskell-branch is no more!

WARNING: make sure that you

  * Update your links if you are using link trees.
    Some modules have been added, some have gone away.

  * Do 'make clean' in all library trees.
    The interface file format has changed, and you can
    get strange panics (sadly) if GHC tries to read old interface files:
    e.g.  ghc-5.05: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 5.05):
  Binary.get(TyClDecl): ForeignType

  * You need to recompile the rts too; Linker.c has changed

However the libraries are almost unaltered; just a tiny change in
Base, and to the exports in Prelude.

NOTE: so far as TH itself is concerned, expression splices work
fine, but declaration splices are not complete.

---------------
The main change
---------------

The main structural change: renaming and typechecking have to be
interleaved, because we can't rename stuff after a declaration splice
until after we've typechecked the stuff before (and the splice
itself).

* Combine the renamer and typecheker monads into one
(TcRnMonad, TcRnTypes)
  These two replace TcMonad and RnMonad

* Give them a single 'driver' (TcRnDriver).  This driver
  replaces TcModule.lhs and Rename.lhs

* The haskell-src library package has a module
Language/Haskell/THSyntax
  which defines the Haskell data type seen by the TH programmer.

* New modules:
hsSyn/Convert.hs  converts THSyntax -> HsSyn
deSugar/DsMeta.hs  converts HsSyn -> THSyntax

* New module typecheck/TcSplice type-checks Template Haskell splices.

-------------
Linking stuff
-------------

* ByteCodeLink has been split into
ByteCodeLink (which links)
ByteCodeAsm (which assembles)

* New module ghci/ObjLink is the object-code linker.

* compMan/CmLink is removed entirely (was out of place)
  Ditto CmTypes (which was tiny)

* Linker.c initialises the linker when it is first used (no need to call
  initLinker any more).  Template Haskell makes it harder to know when
  and whether to initialise the linker.

-------------------------------------
Gathering the LIE in the type checker
-------------------------------------

* Instead of explicitly gathering constraints in the LIE
tcExpr :: RenamedExpr -> TcM (TypecheckedExpr, LIE)
  we now dump the constraints into a mutable varabiable carried
  by the monad, so we get
tcExpr :: RenamedExpr -> TcM TypecheckedExpr

  Much less clutter in the code, and more efficient too.
  (Originally suggested by Mark Shields.)

-----------------
Remove "SysNames"
-----------------

Because the renamer and the type checker were entirely separate,
we had to carry some rather tiresome implicit binders (or "SysNames")
along inside some of the HsDecl data structures.  They were both
tiresome and fragile.

Now that the typechecker and renamer are more intimately coupled,
we can eliminate SysNames (well, mostly... default methods still
carry something similar).

-------------
Clean up HsPat
-------------

One big clean up is this: instead of having two HsPat types (InPat and
OutPat), they are now combined into one.  This is more consistent with
the way that HsExpr etc is handled; there are some 'Out' constructors
for the type checker output.

So:
HsPat.InPat --> HsPat.Pat
HsPat.OutPat --> HsPat.Pat
No 'pat' type parameter in HsExpr, HsBinds, etc

Constructor patterns are nicer now: they use
HsPat.HsConDetails
for the three cases of constructor patterns:
prefix, infix, and record-bindings

The *same* data type HsConDetails is used in the type
declaration of the data type (HsDecls.TyData)

Lots of associated clean-up operations here and there.  Less code.
Everything is wonderful.

[project @ 2002-09-06 14:34:13 by simonmar]
Partial rewrite of the POSIX library.

The main purpose of this sweep is to remove the last dependencies of
the compiler on hslibs.  When I've committed the associated compiler
changes, only the 'base' package will be required to bootstrap the
compiler.  Additionally to build GHCi, the 'readline' and 'unix'
packages will be required.

The new POSIX library lives mostly in libraries/unix, with a few bits
required for compiler bootstrapping in libraries/base.  The 'base'
package is mostly free of hsc2hs code to make bootstrapping from HC
files easier, but the 'unix' package will use hsc2hs liberally.

The old POSIX library continues to provide more-or-less the same
interface as before, although some of the types are more correct now
(previously lots of POSIX types were just mapped to Int).  The new
interface is largely the same as the old, except that some new
functionality from the latest POSIX spec has been added (eg. symbolic
links).

So far, the new POSIX library has signal support, directory/file
operations and lots of stuff from unistd.h.  The module names are:

  System.Posix
The main dude, exports everything

  System.Posix.Types
All the POSIX types, using the same naming scheme as
        Foreign.C.Types, Eg. CUid, COff, etc.  Many of these types
        were previously exported by GHC.Posix.

        Additionally exports the "nicer" names used by the old POSIX
library for compatibility (eg. ProcessID == CPid, FileMode ==
CMode, etc.)

All reasonable instances are derived for these types.

  System.Posix.Signals
Signal support, contains most of which was in PosixProcPrim before.
The RTS interface to the signal handling support has been
rationalised slightly.

  System.Posix.Directory
  Directory support, most were in PosixFiles before.

  System.Posix.Files
File operations, most were in PosixFiles before.

  System.Posix.Unistd
(for want of a better name) Miscellaneous bits that mostly come
from the unistd.h header file.  PosixProcEnv before.

The rest of the library should pan out like so:

  System.Posix.IO
  System.Posix.Error   (maybe)
  System.Posix.Process
  System.Posix.Terminal

(I've no doubt broken Win32 support, but I'm checking the build at the moment).

Selector Thunk Fix, take II.

The previous version didn't deal well with selector thunks which point
to more selector thunks, and on closer inspection the method was
flawed.  Now I've introduced a function

StgClosure *eval_selector_thunk( int field, StgClosure * )

recursively evaluate more selector thunks, but it does this in a

Housekeeping:

  - The main goal is to remove dependencies on hslibs for a
    bootstrapped compiler, leaving only a requirement that the
    packages base, haskell98 and readline are built in stage 1 in
    order to bootstrap.  We're almost there: Posix is still required
    for signal handling, but all other dependencies on hslibs are now
    gone.

    Uses of Addr and ByteArray/MutableByteArray array are all gone
    from the compiler.  PrimPacked defines the Ptr type for GHC 4.08
    (which didn't have it), and it defines simple BA and MBA types to
    replace uses of ByteArray and MutableByteArray respectively.

  - Clean up import lists.  HsVersions.h now defines macros for some
    modules which have moved between GHC versions.  eg. one now
    imports 'GLAEXTS' to get at unboxed types and primops in the
    compiler.

    Many import lists have been sorted as per the recommendations in
    the new style guidelines in the commentary.

I've built the compiler with GHC 4.08.2, 5.00.2, 5.02.3, 5.04 and
itself, and everything still works here.  Doubtless I've got something
wrong, though.
