A message from the parsing phase.

A message from typecheck/renaming phase.

A message from the desugaring (HsToCore) phase.

A message from the driver.

An "escape" hatch which can be used when we don't know the source of the message or if the message is not one of the typed ones. The Diagnostic and Typeable constraints ensure that if we know, at pattern-matching time, the originating type, we can attempt a cast and access the fully-structured error. This would be the case for a GHC plugin that offers a domain-specific error type but that doesn't want to place the burden on IDEs/application code to "know" it. The Diagnostic constraint ensures that worst case scenario we can still render this into something which can be eventually converted into a DecoratedSDoc.

Simply wraps an unknown Diagnostic message a. It can be used by plugins to provide custom diagnostic messages originated during typechecking/renaming.

TcRnMessageWithInfo is a constructor which is used when extra information is needed to be provided in order to qualify a diagnostic and where it was originated (and why). It carries an extra UnitState which can be used to pretty-print some names and it wraps a TcRnMessageDetailed, which includes any extra context associated with this diagnostic.

TcRnWithHsDocContext annotates an error message with the context in which it originated.

TcRnSolverReport is the constructor used to report unsolved constraints after constraint solving, as well as other errors such as hole fit errors.

See the documentation of the TcSolverReportMsg datatype for an overview of the different errors.

TcRnRedundantConstraints is a warning that is emitted when a binding has a user-written type signature which contains superfluous constraints.

Example:

f :: (Eq a, Ord a) => a -> a -> a f x y = (x < y) || x == y -- `Eq a` is superfluous: the `Ord a` constraint suffices.

Test cases: T9939, T10632, T18036a, T20602, PluralS, T19296.

TcRnInaccessibleCode is a warning that is emitted when the RHS of a pattern match is inaccessible, because the constraint solver has detected a contradiction.

Example:

data B a where { MkTrue :: B True; MkFalse :: B False }

foo :: B False -> Bool foo MkFalse = False foo MkTrue = True -- Inaccessible: requires True ~ False

Test cases: T7293, T7294, T15558, T17646, T18572, T18610, tcfail167.

The example above emits the warning (for bar), because without monomorphism restriction the inferred type for bar is 'bar :: Num p => p'.
