runQ :: Quasi m => Q a -> m a

report :: Bool -> String -> Q ()

recover

Arguments

:: Q a | recover with this one
-> Q a | failing action
-> Q a |

reify :: Name -> Q Info

`reify` looks up information about the `Name`

lookupTypeName :: String -> Q (Maybe Name)

lookupValueName :: String -> Q (Maybe Name)

location :: Q Loc

`location` gives you the `Location` at which this computation is spliced.

runIO :: IO a -> Q a

The `runIO` function lets you run an I/O computation in the `Q` monad. Take care: you are guaranteed the ordering of calls to `runIO` within a single `Q` computation, but not about the order in which splices are run.

Note: for various murky reasons, stdout and stderr handles are not necesarily flushed when the compiler finishes running, so you should flush them yourself.

addDependentFile :: FilePath -> Q ()

Record external files that runIO is using (dependent upon). The compiler can then recognize that it should re-compile the file using this TH when the external file changes. Note that ghc -M will still not know about these dependencies - it does not execute TH. Expects an absolute file path.

isInstance :: Name -> [Type] -> Q Bool

reifyInstances :: Name -> [Type] -> Q [Dec]

`classInstances` looks up instaces of a class

# Names

data Name

For global names (`NameG`) we need a totally unique name, so we must include the name-space of the thing

For unique-numbered things (`NameU`), we've got a unique reference anyway, so no need for name space

For dynamically bound thing (`NameS`) we probably want them to in a context-dependent way, so again we don't want the name space. For example:

     let v = mkName "T" in [| data $v = $v |]

Here we use the same Name for both type constructor and data constructor

NameL and NameG are bound *outside* the TH syntax tree either globally (NameG) or locally (NameL). Ex:

     f x = $(h [| (map, x) |])

The `map` will be a NameG, and `x` wil be a NameL

These Names should never appear in a binding position in a TH syntax tree

mkName :: String -> Name

The string can have a `.`, thus Foo.baz, giving a dynamically-bound qualified name, in which case we want to generate a NameQ

Parse the string to see if it has a . in it so we know whether to generate a qualified or unqualified name It's a bit tricky because we need to parse

     Foo.Baz.x   as    Qual Foo.Baz x

So we parse it from back to front

# The algebraic data types

Note [Unresolved infix] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When implementing antiquotation for quasiquoters, one often wants to parse strings into expressions:

     parse :: String -> Maybe 'Exp'

But how should we parse `a + b * c`? If we don't know the fixities of `+` and `*`, we don't know whether to parse it as `a + (b * c)` or `(a + b) * c`.

In cases like this, use `UInfixE` or `UInfixP`, which stand for "unresolved infix expression" and "unresolved infix pattern". When the compiler is given a splice containing a tree of `UInfixE` applications such as

     UInfixE
       (UInfixE e1 op1 e2)
       op2
       (UInfixE e3 op3 e4)

it will look up and the fixities of the relevant operators and reassociate the tree as necessary.

- trees will not be reassociated across `ParensE` or `ParensP`, which are of use for parsing expressions like

     (a + b * c) + d * e

- `InfixE` and `InfixP` expressions are never reassociated.
- The `UInfixE` constructor doesn't support sections. Sections such as `(a *)` have no ambiguity, so `InfixE` suffices. For longer sections such as `(a + b * c -)`, use an `InfixE` constructor for the outer-most section, and use `UInfixE` constructors for all other operators:

     InfixE
       Just (UInfixE ...a + b * c...)
       op
       Nothing

Sections such as `(a + b +)` and `((a + b) +)` should be rendered into `Exp`s differently:

     (+ a + b)   ---> InfixE Nothing + (Just $ UInfixE a + b)
                        -- will result in a fixity error if (+) is left-infix
     (+ (a + b)) ---> InfixE Nothing + (Just $ ParensE $ UInfixE a + b)
                        -- no fixity errors

- Quoted expressions such as

     [| a * b + c |] :: Q Exp
     [p| a : b : c |] :: Q Pat

will never contain `UInfixE`, `UInfixP`, `ParensE`, or `ParensP` constructors.

data Exp

The `CompE` constructor represents a list comprehension, and takes a [`Stmt`]. The result expression of the comprehension is the *last* of these, and should be a `NoBindS`.

E.g. translation:

     [ f x | x <- xs ]

     CompE [BindS (VarP x) (VarE xs), NoBindS (AppE (VarE f) (VarE x))]

AppE Exp Exp

    { f x }

InfixE (Maybe Exp) Exp (Maybe Exp)

    {x + y} or {(x+)} or {(+ x)} or {(+)}

It's a bit gruesome to use an Exp as the operator, but how else can we distinguish constructors from non-constructors? Maybe there should be a var-or-con type? Or maybe we should leave it to the String itself?

Data NameFlavour

Although the NameFlavour type is abstract, the Data instance is not. The reason for this is that currently we use Data to serialize values in annotations, and in order for that to work for Template Haskell names introduced via the 'x syntax we need gunfold on NameFlavour to work. Bleh!

The long term solution to this is to use the binary package for annotation serialization and then remove this instance. However, to do _that_ we need to wait on binary to become stable, since boot libraries cannot be upgraded seperately from GHC itself.

This instance cannot be derived automatically due to bug #2701
