# Constructing normal syntax

mkCoreLet :: CoreBind -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr

Bind a binding group over an expression, using a `let` or `case` as appropriate (see "CoreSyn#let_app_invariant")

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 infixl 4

Construct an expression which represents the application of one expression to the other

mkCoreApps :: CoreExpr -> [CoreExpr] -> CoreExpr infixl 4

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

mkWildCase :: CoreExpr -> Type -> Type -> [CoreAlt] -> CoreExpr

mkIfThenElse :: CoreExpr -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr

mkWildValBinder :: Type -> Id

Make a wildcard binder. This is typically used when you need a binder that you expect to use only at a *binding* site. Do not use it at occurrence sites because it has a single, fixed unique, and it's very easy to get into difficulties with shadowing. That's why it is used so little. See Note [WildCard binders] in SimplEnv

mkWildEvBinder :: PredType -> EvVar

sortQuantVars :: [Var] -> [Var]

castBottomExpr :: CoreExpr -> Type -> CoreExpr

# Constructing boxed literals

mkWordExpr :: DynFlags -> Integer -> CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the a `Word` with the given value

mkWordExprWord :: DynFlags -> Word -> CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `Word`

mkIntExpr :: DynFlags -> Integer -> CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `Int`

mkIntExprInt :: DynFlags -> Int -> CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `Int`

mkIntegerExpr :: MonadThings m => Integer -> m CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `Integer`

mkFloatExpr :: Float -> CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `Float`

mkDoubleExpr :: Double -> CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `Double`

mkCharExpr :: Char -> CoreExpr

Create a `CoreExpr` which will evaluate to the given `Char`

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

Arguments

:: ([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

# 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

Arguments

:: [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

Arguments

:: [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

Arguments

:: 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

Arguments

:: 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

Arguments

:: (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
