Constructing normal syntax
mkCoreLet :: CoreBind -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr
Bind a binding group over an expression, using a `let` or `case` as appropriate (see CoreSyn)
mkCoreLets :: [CoreBind] -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr
Bind a list of binding groups over an expression. The leftmost binding group becomes the outermost group in the resulting expression
mkCoreApp :: CoreExpr -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr
Construct an expression which represents the application of one expression to the other
mkCoreApps :: CoreExpr -> [CoreExpr] -> CoreExpr
Construct an expression which represents the application of a number of expressions to another. The leftmost expression in the list is applied first
mkCoreConApps :: DataCon -> [CoreExpr] -> CoreExpr
Construct an expression which represents the application of a number of expressions to that of a data constructor expression. The leftmost expression in the list is applied first
mkCoreLams :: [CoreBndr] -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr
Create a lambda where the given expression has a number of variables bound over it. The leftmost binder is that bound by the outermost lambda in the result
Constructing boxed literals
mkWordExpr :: Integer -> CoreExpr

mkStringExpr :: MonadThings m => String -> m CoreExpr
Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `String`
mkStringExprFS :: MonadThings m => FastString -> m CoreExpr
Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to a string morally equivalent to the given `FastString`
Constructing general big tuples
GHCs built in tuples can only go up to `mAX_TUPLE_SIZE` in arity, but we might concievably want to build such a massive tuple as part of the output of a desugaring stage (notably that for list comprehensions). We call tuples above this size "big tuples", and emulate them by creating and pattern matching on >nested< tuples that are expressible by GHC. Nesting policy: it's better to have a 2-tuple of 10-tuples (3 objects) than a 10-tuple of 2-tuples (11 objects), so we want the leaves of any construction to be big. If you just use the `mkBigCoreTup`, `mkBigCoreVarTupTy`, `mkTupleSelector` and `mkTupleCase` functions to do all your work with tuples you should be fine, and not have to worry about the arity limitation at all.
mkChunkified
:: |
=> [a] -> a | "Small" constructor function, of maximum input arity `mAX_TUPLE_SIZE`
-> [a] | Possible "big" list of things to construct from
-> a | Constructed thing made possible by recursive decomposition
Lifts a "small" constructor into a "big" constructor by recursive decompositon
Constructing small tuples
mkCoreVarTup :: [Id] -> CoreExpr
Build a small tuple holding the specified variables
mkCoreVarTupTy :: [Id] -> Type
Bulid the type of a small tuple that holds the specified variables
mkCoreTup :: [CoreExpr] -> CoreExpr
Build a small tuple holding the specified expressions
mkCoreTupTy :: [Type] -> Type
Build the type of a small tuple that holds the specified type of thing
Constructing big tuples
mkBigCoreVarTup :: [Id] -> CoreExpr
Build a big tuple holding the specified variables
mkBigCoreVarTupTy :: [Id] -> Type
Build the type of a big tuple that holds the specified variables
mkBigCoreTup :: [CoreExpr] -> CoreExpr
Build a big tuple holding the specified expressions
mkBigCoreTupTy :: [Type] -> Type
Build the type of a big tuple that holds the specified type of thing
Deconstructing small tuples
mkSmallTupleSelector :: [Id] -> Id -> Id -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr
Like `mkTupleSelector` but for tuples that are guaranteed never to be "big".
     mkSmallTupleSelector [x] x v e = [| e |]
     mkSmallTupleSelector [x,y,z] x v e = [| case e of v { (x,y,z) -> x } |]
mkSmallTupleCase
:: [Id] | The tuple args
-> CoreExpr | Body of the case
-> Id | A variable of the same type as the scrutinee
-> CoreExpr | Scrutinee
-> CoreExpr |
As `mkTupleCase`, but for a tuple that is small enough to be guaranteed not to need nesting.
Deconstructing big tuples
mkTupleSelector
:: [Id] | The `Id`s to pattern match the tuple against
-> Id | The `Id` to select
-> Id | A variable of the same type as the scrutinee
-> CoreExpr | Scrutinee
-> CoreExpr | Selector expression
Builds a selector which scrutises the given expression and extracts the one name from the list given. If you want the no-shadowing rule to apply, the caller is responsible for making sure that none of these names are in scope. If there is just one `Id` in the tuple, then the selector is just the identity. If necessary, we pattern match on a "big" tuple.
mkTupleCase
:: UniqSupply | For inventing names of intermediate variables
-> [Id] | The tuple identifiers to pattern match on
-> CoreExpr | Body of the case
-> Id | A variable of the same type as the scrutinee
-> CoreExpr | Scrutinee
-> CoreExpr |
A generalization of `mkTupleSelector`, allowing the body of the case to be an arbitrary expression. To avoid shadowing, we use uniques to invent new variables. If necessary we pattern match on a "big" tuple.
Constructing list expressions
mkNilExpr :: Type -> CoreExpr
Makes a list `[]` for lists of the specified type
mkConsExpr :: Type -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr
Makes a list `(:)` for lists of the specified type
mkListExpr :: Type -> [CoreExpr] -> CoreExpr
Make a list containing the given expressions, where the list has the given type
mkFoldrExpr
:: MonadThings m |
=> Type | Element type of the list
-> Type | Fold result type
-> CoreExpr | Cons function expression for the fold
-> CoreExpr | Nil expression for the fold
-> CoreExpr | List expression being folded acress
-> m CoreExpr |
Make a fully applied `foldr` expression
mkBuildExpr
:: (MonadThings m, MonadUnique m) |
=> Type | Type of list elements to be built
-> (Id, Type) -> (Id, Type) -> m CoreExpr | Function that, given information about the `Id`s of the binders for the build worker function, returns the body of that worker
-> m CoreExpr |
Make a build expression applied to a locally-bound worker function
