                Notes on quantification
        --------------------------------------

Suppose we are about to do a generalisation step.
We have in our hand

        G       the environment
        T       the type of the RHS
        C       the constraints from that RHS

The game is to figure out

        Q       the set of type variables over which to quantify
        Ct      the constraints we will *not* quantify over
        Cq      the constraints we will quantify over

So we're going to infer the type

        forall Q. Cq => T

and float the constraints Ct further outwards.

Here are the things that *must* be true:

 (A)    Q intersect fv(G) = EMPTY                       limits how big Q can be
 (B)    Q superset fv(Cq union T) \ oclose(fv(G),C)     limits how small Q can be

(A) says we can't quantify over a variable that's free in the
environment.  (B) says we must quantify over all the truly free
variables in T, else we won't get a sufficiently general type.  We do
not *need* to quantify over any variable that is fixed by the free
vars of the environment G.

        BETWEEN THESE TWO BOUNDS, ANY Q WILL DO!

Example:        class H x y | x->y where ...

        fv(G) = {a}     C = {H a b, H c d}
                        T = c -> b

        (A)  Q intersect {a} is empty
        (B)  Q superset {a,b,c,d} \ oclose({a}, C) = {a,b,c,d} \ {a,b} = {c,d}

        So Q can be {c,d}, {b,c,d}

Other things being equal, however, we'd like to quantify over as few
variables as possible: smaller types, fewer type applications, more
constraints can get into Ct instead of Cq.


-----------------------------------------
We will make use of

  fv(T)         the free type vars of T

  oclose(vs,C)  The result of extending the set of tyvars vs
                using the functional dependencies from C

  grow(vs,C)    The result of extend the set of tyvars vs
                using all conceivable links from C.

                E.g. vs = {a}, C = {H [a] b, K (b,Int) c, Eq e}
                Then grow(vs,C) = {a,b,c}

                Note that grow(vs,C) `superset` grow(vs,simplify(C))
                That is, simplfication can only shrink the result of grow.

Notice that
   oclose is conservative one way:      v `elem` oclose(vs,C) => v is definitely fixed by vs
   grow is conservative the other way:  if v might be fixed by vs => v `elem` grow(vs,C)


-----------------------------------------

Choosing Q
~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a good way to choose Q:

        Q = grow( fv(T), C ) \ oclose( fv(G), C )

That is, quantify over all variable that that MIGHT be fixed by the
call site (which influences T), but which aren't DEFINITELY fixed by
G.  This choice definitely quantifies over enough type variables,
albeit perhaps too many.

Why grow( fv(T), C ) rather than fv(T)?  Consider

        class H x y | x->y where ...

        T = c->c
        C = (H c d)

  If we used fv(T) = {c} we'd get the type

        forall c. H c d => c -> b

  And then if the fn was called at several different c's, each of
  which fixed d differently, we'd get a unification error, because
  d isn't quantified.  Solution: quantify d.  So we must quantify
  everything that might be influenced by c.

Why not oclose( fv(T), C )?  Because we might not be able to see
all the functional dependencies yet:

        class H x y | x->y where ...
        instance H x y => Eq (T x y) where ...

        T = c->c
        C = (Eq (T c d))

  Now oclose(fv(T),C) = {c}, because the functional dependency isn't
  apparent yet, and that's wrong.  We must really quantify over d too.


There really isn't any point in quantifying over any more than
grow( fv(T), C ), because the call sites can't possibly influence
any other type variables.



        --------------------------------------
                Notes on ambiguity
        --------------------------------------

It's very hard to be certain when a type is ambiguous.  Consider

        class K x
        class H x y | x -> y
        instance H x y => K (x,y)

Is this type ambiguous?
        forall a b. (K (a,b), Eq b) => a -> a

Looks like it!  But if we simplify (K (a,b)) we get (H a b) and
now we see that a fixes b.  So we can't tell about ambiguity for sure
without doing a full simplification.  And even that isn't possible if
the context has some free vars that may get unified.  Urgle!

Here's another example: is this ambiguous?
        forall a b. Eq (T b) => a -> a
Not if there's an insance decl (with no context)
        instance Eq (T b) where ...

You may say of this example that we should use the instance decl right
away, but you can't always do that:

        class J a b where ...
        instance J Int b where ...

        f :: forall a b. J a b => a -> a

(Notice: no functional dependency in J's class decl.)
Here f's type is perfectly fine, provided f is only called at Int.
It's premature to complain when meeting f's signature, or even
when inferring a type for f.



However, we don't *need* to report ambiguity right away.  It'll always
show up at the call site.... and eventually at main, which needs special
treatment.  Nevertheless, reporting ambiguity promptly is an excellent thing.

So here's the plan.  We WARN about probable ambiguity if

        fv(Cq) is not a subset of  oclose(fv(T) union fv(G), C)

(all tested before quantification).
That is, all the type variables in Cq must be fixed by the the variables
in the environment, or by the variables in the type.

Notice that we union before calling oclose.  Here's an example:

        class J a b c | a b -> c
        fv(G) = {a}

Is this ambiguous?
        forall b c. (J a b c) => b -> b

Only if we union {a} from G with {b} from T before using oclose,
do we see that c is fixed.

It's a bit vague exactly which C we should use for this oclose call.  If we
don't fix enough variables we might complain when we shouldn't (see
the above nasty example).  Nothing will be perfect.  That's why we can
only issue a warning.


Can we ever be *certain* about ambiguity?  Yes: if there's a constraint

        c in C such that fv(c) intersect (fv(G) union fv(T)) = EMPTY

then c is a "bubble"; there's no way it can ever improve, and it's
certainly ambiguous.  UNLESS it is a constant (sigh).  And what about
the nasty example?

        class K x
        class H x y | x -> y
        instance H x y => K (x,y)

Is this type ambiguous?
        forall a b. (K (a,b), Eq b) => a -> a

Urk.  The (Eq b) looks "definitely ambiguous" but it isn't.  What we are after
is a "bubble" that's a set of constraints

        Cq = Ca union Cq'  st  fv(Ca) intersect (fv(Cq') union fv(T) union fv(G)) = EMPTY

Hence another idea.  To decide Q start with fv(T) and grow it
by transitive closure in Cq (no functional dependencies involved).
Now partition Cq using Q, leaving the definitely-ambiguous and probably-ok.
The definitely-ambiguous can then float out, and get smashed at top level
(which squashes out the constants, like Eq (T a) above)


        --------------------------------------
                Notes on principal types
        --------------------------------------

    class C a where
      op :: a -> a

    f x = let g y = op (y::Int) in True

Here the principal type of f is (forall a. a->a)
but we'll produce the non-principal type
    f :: forall a. C Int => a -> a


        --------------------------------------
                Notes on implicit parameters
        --------------------------------------

Question 1: can we "inherit" implicit parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this:

        f x = (x::Int) + ?y

where f is *not* a top-level binding.
From the RHS of f we'll get the constraint (?y::Int).
There are two types we might infer for f:

        f :: Int -> Int

(so we get ?y from the context of f's definition), or

        f :: (?y::Int) => Int -> Int

At first you might think the first was better, becuase then
?y behaves like a free variable of the definition, rather than
having to be passed at each call site.  But of course, the WHOLE
IDEA is that ?y should be passed at each call site (that's what
dynamic binding means) so we'd better infer the second.

BOTTOM LINE: when *inferring types* you *must* quantify 
over implicit parameters. See the predicate isFreeWhenInferring.


Question 2: type signatures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUT WATCH OUT: When you supply a type signature, we can't force you
to quantify over implicit parameters.  For example:

        (?x + 1) :: Int

This is perfectly reasonable.  We do not want to insist on

        (?x + 1) :: (?x::Int => Int)

That would be silly.  Here, the definition site *is* the occurrence site,
so the above strictures don't apply.  Hence the difference between
tcSimplifyCheck (which *does* allow implicit paramters to be inherited)
and tcSimplifyCheckBind (which does not).

What about when you supply a type signature for a binding?
Is it legal to give the following explicit, user type 
signature to f, thus:

        f :: Int -> Int
        f x = (x::Int) + ?y

At first sight this seems reasonable, but it has the nasty property
that adding a type signature changes the dynamic semantics.
Consider this:

        (let f x = (x::Int) + ?y
         in (f 3, f 3 with ?y=5))  with ?y = 6

                returns (3+6, 3+5)
vs
        (let f :: Int -> Int
             f x = x + ?y
         in (f 3, f 3 with ?y=5))  with ?y = 6

                returns (3+6, 3+6)

Indeed, simply inlining f (at the Haskell source level) would change the
dynamic semantics.

Nevertheless, as Launchbury says (email Oct 01) we can't really give the
semantics for a Haskell program without knowing its typing, so if you 
change the typing you may change the semantics.

To make things consistent in all cases where we are *checking* against
a supplied signature (as opposed to inferring a type), we adopt the
rule: 

        a signature does not need to quantify over implicit params.

[This represents a (rather marginal) change of policy since GHC 5.02,
which *required* an explicit signature to quantify over all implicit
params for the reasons mentioned above.]

But that raises a new question.  Consider 

        Given (signature)       ?x::Int
        Wanted (inferred)       ?x::Int, ?y::Bool

Clearly we want to discharge the ?x and float the ?y out.  But
what is the criterion that distinguishes them?  Clearly it isn't
what free type variables they have.  The Right Thing seems to be
to float a constraint that
        neither mentions any of the quantified type variables
        nor any of the quantified implicit parameters

See the predicate isFreeWhenChecking.


Question 3: monomorphism
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's a nasty corner case when the monomorphism restriction bites:

        z = (x::Int) + ?y

The argument above suggests that we *must* generalise
over the ?y parameter, to get
        z :: (?y::Int) => Int,
but the monomorphism restriction says that we *must not*, giving
        z :: Int.
Why does the momomorphism restriction say this?  Because if you have

        let z = x + ?y in z+z

you might not expect the addition to be done twice --- but it will if
we follow the argument of Question 2 and generalise over ?y.



Possible choices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(A) Always generalise over implicit parameters
    Bindings that fall under the monomorphism restriction can't
        be generalised

    Consequences:
        * Inlining remains valid
        * No unexpected loss of sharing
        * But simple bindings like
                z = ?y + 1
          will be rejected, unless you add an explicit type signature
          (to avoid the monomorphism restriction)
                z :: (?y::Int) => Int
                z = ?y + 1
          This seems unacceptable

(B) Monomorphism restriction "wins"
    Bindings that fall under the monomorphism restriction can't
        be generalised
    Always generalise over implicit parameters *except* for bindings
        that fall under the monomorphism restriction

    Consequences
        * Inlining isn't valid in general
        * No unexpected loss of sharing
        * Simple bindings like
                z = ?y + 1
          accepted (get value of ?y from binding site)

(C) Always generalise over implicit parameters
    Bindings that fall under the monomorphism restriction can't
        be generalised, EXCEPT for implicit parameters
    Consequences
        * Inlining remains valid
        * Unexpected loss of sharing (from the extra generalisation)
        * Simple bindings like
                z = ?y + 1
          accepted (get value of ?y from occurrence sites)


Discussion
~~~~~~~~~~
None of these choices seems very satisfactory.  But at least we should
decide which we want to do.

It's really not clear what is the Right Thing To Do.  If you see

        z = (x::Int) + ?y

would you expect the value of ?y to be got from the *occurrence sites*
of 'z', or from the valuue of ?y at the *definition* of 'z'?  In the
case of function definitions, the answer is clearly the former, but
less so in the case of non-fucntion definitions.   On the other hand,
if we say that we get the value of ?y from the definition site of 'z',
then inlining 'z' might change the semantics of the program.

Choice (C) really says "the monomorphism restriction doesn't apply
to implicit parameters".  Which is fine, but remember that every
innocent binding 'x = ...' that mentions an implicit parameter in
the RHS becomes a *function* of that parameter, called at each
use of 'x'.  Now, the chances are that there are no intervening 'with'
clauses that bind ?y, so a decent compiler should common up all
those function calls.  So I think I strongly favour (C).  Indeed,
one could make a similar argument for abolishing the monomorphism
restriction altogether.

BOTTOM LINE: we choose (B) at present.  See tcSimplifyRestricted

tcSimplify is called when we *inferring* a type.  Here's the overall game plan:

    1. Compute Q = grow( fvs(T), C )

    2. Partition C based on Q into Ct and Cq.  Notice that ambiguous
       predicates will end up in Ct; we deal with them at the top level

    3. Try improvement, using functional dependencies

    4. If Step 3 did any unification, repeat from step 1
       (Unification can change the result of 'grow'.)

Note: we don't reduce dictionaries in step 2.  For example, if we have
Eq (a,b), we don't simplify to (Eq a, Eq b).  So Q won't be different
after step 2.  However note that we may therefore quantify over more
type variables than we absolutely have to.

For the guts, we need a loop, that alternates context reduction and
improvement with unification.  E.g. Suppose we have

        class C x y | x->y where ...

and tcSimplify is called with:
        (C Int a, C Int b)
Then improvement unifies a with b, giving
        (C Int a, C Int a)

If we need to unify anything, we rattle round the whole thing all over
again.

Example [LOOP]

        class If b t e r | b t e -> r
        instance If T t e t
        instance If F t e e
        class Lte a b c | a b -> c where lte :: a -> b -> c
        instance Lte Z b T
        instance (Lte a b l,If l b a c) => Max a b c

Wanted: Max Z (S x) y

Then we'll reduce using the Max instance to:
        (Lte Z (S x) l, If l (S x) Z y)
and improve by binding l->T, after which we can do some reduction
on both the Lte and If constraints.  What we *can't* do is start again
with (Max Z (S x) y)!

[NO TYVARS]

        class Y a b | a -> b where
            y :: a -> X b
        
        instance Y [[a]] a where
            y ((x:_):_) = X x
        
        k :: X a -> X a -> X a

        g :: Num a => [X a] -> [X a]
        g xs = h xs
            where
            h ys = ys ++ map (k (y [[0]])) xs

The excitement comes when simplifying the bindings for h.  Initially
try to simplify {y @ [[t1]] t2, 0 @ t1}, with initial qtvs = {t2}.
From this we get t1:=:t2, but also various bindings.  We can't forget
the bindings (because of [LOOP]), but in fact t1 is what g is
polymorphic in.

On the LHS of transformation rules we only simplify methods and constants,
getting dictionaries.  We want to keep all of them unsimplified, to serve
as the available stuff for the RHS of the rule.

The same thing is used for specialise pragmas. Consider

        f :: Num a => a -> a
        {-# SPECIALISE f :: Int -> Int #-}
        f = ...

The type checker generates a binding like:

        f_spec = (f :: Int -> Int)

and we want to end up with

        f_spec = _inline_me_ (f Int dNumInt)

But that means that we must simplify the Method for f to (f Int dNumInt)!
So tcSimplifyToDicts squeezes out all Methods.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  we *don't* want to do superclass commoning up.  Consider

        fromIntegral :: (Integral a, Num b) => a -> b
        {-# RULES "foo"  fromIntegral = id :: Int -> Int #-}

Here, a=b=Int, and Num Int is a superclass of Integral Int. But we *dont*
want to get

        forall dIntegralInt.
        fromIntegral Int Int dIntegralInt (scsel dIntegralInt) = id Int

because the scsel will mess up matching.  Instead we want

        forall dIntegralInt, dNumInt.
        fromIntegral Int Int dIntegralInt dNumInt = id Int

Hence "DontReduce NoSCs"

When we have
        let ?x = R in B

we must discharge all the ?x constraints from B.  We also do an improvement
step; if we have ?x::t1 and ?x::t2 we must unify t1, t2.

Actually, the constraints from B might improve the types in ?x. For example

        f :: (?x::Int) => Char -> Char
        let ?x = 3 in f 'c'

then the constraint (?x::Int) arising from the call to f will
force the binding for ?x to be of type Int.

When doing a binding group, we may have @Insts@ of local functions.
For example, we might have...
\begin{verbatim}
let f x = x + 1     -- orig local function (overloaded)
    f.1 = f Int     -- two instances of f
    f.2 = f Float
 in
    (f.1 5, f.2 6.7)
\end{verbatim}
The point is: we must drop the bindings for @f.1@ and @f.2@ here,
where @f@ is in scope; those @Insts@ must certainly not be passed
upwards towards the top-level.  If the @Insts@ were binding-ified up
there, they would have unresolvable references to @f@.

We pass in an @init_lie@ of @Insts@ and a list of locally-bound @Ids@.
For each method @Inst@ in the @init_lie@ that mentions one of the
@Ids@, we create a binding.  We return the remaining @Insts@ (in an
@LIE@), as well as the @HsBinds@ generated.

\begin{code}

The main context-reduction function is @reduce@.  Here's its game plan.

\begin{code}
reduceList :: (Int,[Inst])              -- Stack (for err msgs)

           -> [Inst]
           -> Avails
           -> TcM Avails
\end{code}

@reduce@ is passed
     try_me:    given an inst, this function returns
                  Reduce       reduce this

                  Free         return this in "frees"

     wanteds:   The list of insts to reduce
     state:     An accumulating parameter of type Avails
                that contains the state of the algorithm

  It returns a Avails.

The (n,stack) pair is just used for error reporting.
n is always the depth of the stack.
The stack is the stack of Insts being reduced: to produce X
I had to produce Y, to produce Y I had to produce Z, and so on.

Note [SUPER].  We have to be careful here.  If we are *given* d1:Ord a,
and want to deduce (d2:C [a]) where

        class Ord a => C a where
        instance Ord a => C [a] where ...

Then we'll use the instance decl to deduce C [a] and then add the
superclasses of C [a] to avails.  But we must not overwrite the binding
for d1:Ord a (which is given) with a superclass selection or we'll just
build a loop!  Hence looking for Given.  Crudely, Given is cheaper
than a selection.

If a dictionary constrains a type variable which is
        * not mentioned in the environment
        * and not mentioned in the type of the expression
then it is ambiguous. No further information will arise to instantiate
the type variable; nor will it be generalised and turned into an extra
parameter to a function.

It is an error for this to occur, except that Haskell provided for
certain rules to be applied in the special case of numeric types.
Specifically, if
        * at least one of its classes is a numeric class, and
        * all of its classes are numeric or standard
then the type variable can be defaulted to the first type in the
default-type list which is an instance of all the offending classes.

So here is the function which does the work.  It takes the ambiguous
dictionaries and either resolves them (producing bindings) or
complains.  It works by splitting the dictionary list by type
variable, and using @disambigOne@ to do the real business.

@tcSimplifyTop@ is called once per module to simplify all the constant
and ambiguous Insts.

We need to be careful of one case.  Suppose we have

        instance Num a => Num (Foo a b) where ...

and @tcSimplifyTop@ is given a constraint (Num (Foo x y)).  Then it'll simplify
to (Num x), and default x to Int.  But what about y??

It's OK: the final zonking stage should zap y to (), which is fine.

@disambigOne@ assumes that its arguments dictionaries constrain all
the same type variable.

ADR Comment 20/6/94: I've changed the @CReturnable@ case to default to
@()@ instead of @Int@.  I reckon this is the Right Thing to do since
the most common use of defaulting is code like:
\begin{verbatim}
        _ccall_ foo     `seqPrimIO` bar
\end{verbatim}
Since we're not using the result of @foo@, the result if (presumably)
@void@.

[Aside - why the defaulting mechanism is turned off when
 dealing with arguments and results to ccalls.

When typechecking _ccall_s, TcExpr ensures that the external
function is only passed arguments (and in the other direction,
results) of a restricted set of 'native' types. This is
implemented via the help of the pseudo-type classes,
@CReturnable@ (CR) and @CCallable@ (CC.)

The interaction between the defaulting mechanism for numeric
values and CC & CR can be a bit puzzling to the user at times.
For example,

    x <- _ccall_ f
    if (x /= 0) then
       _ccall_ g x
     else
       return ()

What type has 'x' got here? That depends on the default list
in operation, if it is equal to Haskell 98's default-default
of (Integer, Double), 'x' has type Double, since Integer
is not an instance of CR. If the default list is equal to
Haskell 1.4's default-default of (Int, Double), 'x' has type
Int.

To try to minimise the potential for surprises here, the
defaulting mechanism is turned off in the presence of
CCallable and CReturnable.
