Nick That looks outright wrong to me. Would you like to make a ticket for it? It should be easy to fix.
I’m surprised it has not caused more trouble before now. Well spotted and well diagnosed! Simon From: ghc-devs <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Nicolas Frisby Sent: 01 June 2019 04:24 To: [email protected] Subject: should TcCanonical.rewriteEvidence preserve ctev_nosh? A bit of context and then my question. https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/typecheck/TcCanonical.hs#L2226<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.haskell.org%2Fghc%2Fghc%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fcompiler%2Ftypecheck%2FTcCanonical.hs%23L2226&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7Cd90efcd1da6f4058c00c08d6e640c7c2%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636949563239275987&sdata=F7dgkceI2512TafrGNP38xvWAv2%2F6HKQscRnU%2Bypbf8%3D&reserved=0> declares `rewriteEvidence` with the comment that "rewriteEvidence old_ev new_pred co ... Returns a new_ev : new_pred, with same wanted/given/derived flag as old_ev". However, the `CtWanted` case just immediately calls `newWanted`, which ignores the incoming `ctev_nosh` flag and always uses `WDeriv`. ``` rewriteEvidence ev@(CtWanted { ctev_dest = dest , ctev_loc = loc }) new_pred co = do { mb_new_ev <- newWanted loc new_pred ``` (This is true in 8.6.5 and also right now at 6febc444c0abea6c033174aa0e813c950b9b2877.) Thus I'm seeing a [W] is become a [WD], which seems to contradict the comment's "same flag" claim. MY QUESTION ======> Is this "WD unsplitting" the intended behavior? See canonicalization tc-trace below. If it is intended, I'll probably write a follow-up question asking for more advice. The constraint solver is looping unproductively because my plugin keeps discarding the (re-)emitted [D] shadow as a tautology, then the [W] "unsplits" during canonicalization (even though my plugin didn't touch the [W]), this re-emits the same [D] (via a fundep), and so on. My continual disclaimer recently is that I'm seeing this behavior with my in-development plugin activated, so it's entirely I'm pushing GHC into unfamiliar waters or even just plain violating some invariants without realizing it. But this trace looks rather isolated from plugins.
