Var

Description
GHC uses several kinds of name internally:
OccName: see OccNameRdrName: see RdrNameName: see NameId: see IdVaris a synonym for theIdtype but it may additionally potentially contain type variables, which have aKindrather than aTypeand only contain some extra details during typechecking.
These Var names may either be global or local, see Var
Global Ids and Vars are those that are imported or correspond
to a data constructor, primitive operation, or record selectors.
Local Ids and Vars are those bound within an expression
(e.g. by a lambda) or at the top level of the module being compiled.

The main data type and synonyms
Taking Vars apart
Modifying Vars
Constructing, taking apart, modifying Ids
mkExportedLocalVar :: IdDetails -> Name -> Type -> IdInfo -> Id Source #
Exported Vars will not be removed as dead code
globaliseId :: Id -> Id Source #
If it's a local, make it global
setIdExported :: Id -> Id Source #
setIdNotExported :: Id -> Id Source #
We can only do this to LocalIds
Predicates
isLocalVar :: Var -> Bool Source #
isLocalVar returns True for type variables as well as local Ids
These are the variables that we need to pay attention to when finding free
variables, or doing dependency analysis.
isNonCoVarId :: Var -> Bool Source #
isGlobalId :: Var -> Bool Source #
isExportedId :: Var -> Bool Source #
isExportedIdVar means "don't throw this away"
mustHaveLocalBinding :: Var -> Bool Source #
mustHaveLocalBinding returns True of Ids and TyVars
that must have a binding in this module. The converse
is not quite right: there are some global Ids that must have
bindings, such as record selectors. But that doesn't matter,
because it's only used for assertions
Constructing TyVars
Taking TyVars apart
tcTyVarDetails :: TyVar -> TcTyVarDetails Source #
setTcTyVarDetails :: TyVar -> TcTyVarDetails -> TyVar Source #
