Elaborate the scope of a let without the computational behaviour,
meaning that `let x = v in e` is equivalent to `(\x => e) v`. This makes
things more consistent (in that let bindings already don't propagate
inside case or with blocks) at the cost of not being able to rely on the
computational behaviour in types. More importantly, it removes a
significant potential source of slowness.
Fixes#58
If you need the computational behaviour, you can use a local function
definition instead.
This is for finding support libraries for code generators, e.g. the
shared objects that chez will load for glue code for foreign libraries.
It'll be used more shortly...
Fixes#42. If we don't do this, the name is treated in the saem way as
an unbound implicit, which is not what we want, so update with the
method applied to the parameters.
We were only doing implicits, so add auto implicits too. It's slightly
tricky, because we might also have implicits given of the form @{x}
which stands for the next auto implicit.
Fixes#50
Just like all other pi-bound things, if m is an unbound implicit and we
have m ?x = m y as a unification problem, we can conclude ?x = y because
it has to be true for all ms.
This was implemented in Blodwen but I hadn't got around to it yet for
Idris2... fortunately it's a bit easier in Idris2!
Fixes#44
This will be useful shortly, and in general because it'll give us more
flexibility in unification to be able to spot things which are
guaranteed invertible like constructors.
Add "installation problem", and while I'd rather not have larger proposals on the tracker, it would still be useful to list small requests where it's objectively clear what the resolution is.
We were only checking parameters, meaning that there were potential
clashes leading to confusing behaviour, and meaning that it was somehow
relevant what the names were in the interface!
Now by marking a method as multiplicity 0, we can explicitly say that
it's compile time only, so we can use it to compute types based on other
erased things - see tests/idris2/interface008 for a small example.
This fixes#8 - at least in that it allows the interface to be expressed
properly now, although the multiplicity annotations mean that
unfortunately it can't be compatible with Idris 1.
A local variable can't be applied to itself when searching (otherwise,
for example, we could end up trying something like id id id id id id etc
forever). So remove it from the environment before searching for its
arguments.
This and the previous patch fix#24. (Or, at least, the minimised cases
reported as part of it!)
Don't use the interface itself when checking parent implementations
exist, otherwise we'll end up in a cycle (because the parent
implementation will sort of exist as a result!)
