Make GADT constructors adhere to the forall-or-nothing rule properly
Issue #18191 revealed that the types of GADT constructors don't quite
adhere to the `forall`-or-nothing rule. This patch serves to clean up
this sad state of affairs somewhat. The main change is not in the
code itself, but in the documentation, as this patch introduces two
sections to the GHC User's Guide:
* A "Formal syntax for GADTs" section that presents a BNF-style
grammar for what is and isn't allowed in GADT constructor types.
This mostly exists to codify GHC's existing behavior, but it also
imposes a new restriction that addresses #18191: the outermost
`forall` and/or context in a GADT constructor is not allowed to be
surrounded by parentheses. Doing so would make these
`forall`s/contexts nested, and GADTs do not support nested
`forall`s/contexts at present.
* A "`forall`-or-nothing rule" section that describes exactly what
the `forall`-or-nothing rule is all about. Surprisingly, there was
no mention of this anywhere in the User's Guide up until now!
To adhere the new specification in the "Formal syntax for GADTs"
section of the User's Guide, the following code changes were made:
* A new function, `GHC.Hs.Type.splitLHsGADTPrefixTy`, was introduced.
This is very much like `splitLHsSigmaTy`, except that it avoids
splitting apart any parentheses, which can be syntactically
significant for GADT types. See
`Note [No nested foralls or contexts in GADT constructors]` in
`GHC.Hs.Type`.
* `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs`, an extension constructor for `XConDecl`, was
introduced so that `GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl` can return
it when given a prefix GADT constructor. Unlike `ConDeclGADT`,
`ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` does not split the GADT type into its argument
and result types, as this cannot be done until after the type is
renamed (see `Note [GADT abstract syntax]` in `GHC.Hs.Decls` for why
this is the case).
* `GHC.Renamer.Module.rnConDecl` now has an additional case for
`ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` that (1) splits apart the full `LHsType` into
its `forall`s, context, argument types, and result type, and
(2) checks for nested `forall`s/contexts. Step (2) used to be
performed the typechecker (in `GHC.Tc.TyCl.badDataConTyCon`) rather
than the renamer, but now the relevant code from the typechecker
can simply be deleted.
One nice side effect of this change is that we are able to give a
more accurate error message for GADT constructors that use visible
dependent quantification (e.g., `MkFoo :: forall a -> a -> Foo a`),
which improves the stderr in the `T16326_Fail6` test case.
Fixes #18191. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

-There's a wrinkle in ConDeclGADT
-
-* For record syntax, it's all uniform. Given:
- data T a where
- K :: forall a. Ord a => { x :: [a], ... } -> T a
- we make the a ConDeclGADT for K with
- con_qvars = {a}
- con_mb_cxt = Just [Ord a]
- con_args = RecCon <the record fields>
- con_res_ty = T a
-
- We need the RecCon before the reanmer, so we can find the record field
- binders in GHC.Hs.Utils.hsConDeclsBinders.
-
-* However for a GADT constr declaration which is not a record, it can
- be hard parse until we know operator fixities. Consider for example
- C :: a :*: b -> a :*: b -> a :+: b
- Initially this type will parse as
- a :*: (b -> (a :*: (b -> (a :+: b))))
- so it's hard to split up the arguments until we've done the precedence
- resolution (in the renamer).
-
- So: - In the parser (GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl), we put the whole constr
- type into the res_ty for a ConDeclGADT for now, and use
- PrefixCon []
- con_args = PrefixCon []
- con_res_ty = a :*: (b -> (a :*: (b -> (a :+: b))))
-
- - In the renamer (GHC.Rename.Module.rnConDecl), we unravel it after
- operator fixities are sorted. So we generate. So we end
- up with
- con_args = PrefixCon [ a :*: b, a :*: b ]
- con_res_ty = a :+: b
+There are two broad ways to classify GADT constructors:
+
+* Record-syntax constructors. For example:
+
+ data T a where
+ K :: forall a. Ord a => { x :: [a], ... } -> T a
+
+* Prefix constructors, which do not use record syntax. For example:
+
+ data T a where
+ K :: forall a. Ord a => [a] -> ... -> T a
+
+Initially, both forms of GADT constructors are initially parsed as a single
+LHsType. However, GADTs have a certain structure, requiring distinct argument
+and result types, as well as imposing restrictions on where `forall`s and
+contexts can be (see "Wrinkle: No nested foralls or contexts" below). As a
+result, it is convenient to split up the LHsType into its individual
+components, which are stored in the ConDeclGADT constructor of ConDecl.
+
+Where should this splitting occur? For GADT constructors with record syntax,
+we split in the parser (in GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl). We must do this
+splitting before the renamer, as we need the record field names for use in
+GHC.Hs.Utils.hsConDeclsBinders.
+
+For prefix GADT constructors, however, the situation is more complicated. It
+can be difficult to split a prefix GADT type until we know type operator
+fixities. Consider this, for example:
+
+ C :: a :*: b -> a :*: b -> a :+: b
+
+Initially, the type of C will parse as:
+
+ a :*: (b -> (a :*: (b -> (a :+: b))))
+
+So it's hard to split up the arguments until we've done the precedence
+resolution (in the renamer). (Unlike prefix GADT types, record GADT types
+do not have this problem because of their uniform syntax.)
+
+As a result, we deliberately avoid splitting prefix GADT types in the parser.
+Instead, we store the entire LHsType in ConDeclGADTPrefixPs, a GHC-specific
+extension constructor to ConDecl. Later, in the renamer
+(in GHC.Rename.Module.rnConDecl), we resolve the fixities of all type operators
+in the LHsType, which facilitates splitting it into argument and result types
+accurately. We finish renaming a ConDeclGADTPrefixPs by putting the split
+components into a ConDeclGADT. This is why ConDeclGADTPrefixPs has the suffix
+-Ps, as it is only used by the parser.
+
+Note that the existence of ConDeclGADTPrefixPs does not imply that ConDeclGADT
+goes completely unused by the parser. Other consumers of GHC's abstract syntax
+are still free to use ConDeclGADT. Indeed, both Haddock and Template Haskell
+construct values of type `ConDecl GhcPs` by way of ConDeclGADT, as neither of
+them have the same difficulties with operator precedence that GHC's parser
+does. As an example, see GHC.ThToHs.cvtConstr, which converts Template Haskell
+syntax into GHC syntax.
+
+-----
+-- Wrinkle: No nested foralls or contexts
+-----
+
+GADT constructors provide some freedom to change the order of foralls in their
+types (see Note [DataCon user type variable binders] in GHC.Core.DataCon), but
+this freedom is still limited. GADTs still require that all quantification
+occurs "prenex". That is, any explicitly quantified type variables must occur
+at the front of the GADT type, followed by any contexts, followed by the body of
+the GADT type, in precisely that order. For instance:
+
+ data T where
+ MkT1 :: forall a b. (Eq a, Eq b) => a -> b -> T
+ -- OK
+ MkT2 :: forall a. Eq a => forall b. a -> b -> T
+ -- Rejected, `forall b` is nested
+ MkT3 :: forall a b. Eq a => Eq b => a -> b -> T
+ -- Rejected, `Eq b` is nested
+ MkT4 :: Int -> forall a. a -> T
+ -- Rejected, `forall a` is nested
+ MkT5 :: forall a. Int -> Eq a => a -> T
+ -- Rejected, `Eq a` is nested
+ MkT6 :: (forall a. a -> T)
+ -- Rejected, `forall a` is nested due to the surrounding parentheses
+ MkT7 :: (Eq a => a -> t)
+ -- Rejected, `Eq a` is nested due to the surrounding parentheses
+
+For the full details, see the "Formal syntax for GADTs" section of the GHC
+User's Guide. GHC enforces that GADT constructors do not have nested `forall`s
+or contexts in two parts:
+
+1. GHC, in the process of splitting apart a GADT's type,
+ extracts out the leading `forall` and context (if they are provided). To
+ accomplish this splitting, the renamer uses the
+ GHC.Hs.Type.splitLHsGADTPrefixTy function, which is careful not to remove
+ parentheses surrounding the leading `forall` or context (as these
+ parentheses can be syntactically significant). If the third result returned
+ by splitLHsGADTPrefixTy contains any `forall`s or contexts, then they must
+ be nested, so they will be rejected.
+
+ Note that this step applies to both prefix and record GADTs alike, as they
+ both have syntax which permits `forall`s and contexts. The difference is
+ where this step happens:
+
+ * For prefix GADTs, this happens in the renamer (in rnConDecl), as we cannot
+ split until after the type operator fixities have been resolved.
+ * For record GADTs, this happens in the parser (in mkGadtDecl).
+2. If the GADT type is prefix, the renamer (in the ConDeclGADTPrefixPs case of
+ rnConDecl) will then check for nested `forall`s/contexts in the body of a
+ prefix GADT type, after it has determined what all of the argument types are.
+ This step is necessary to catch examples like MkT4 above, where the nested
+ quantification occurs after a visible argument type.

+
+The ``forall``-or-nothing rule
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In certain forms of types, type variables obey what is known as the
+"``forall``-or-nothing" rule: if a type has an outermost, explicit
+``forall``, then all of the type variables in the type must be explicitly
+quantified. These two examples illustrate how the rule works: ::
+
+ f :: forall a b. a -> b -> b -- OK, `a` and `b` are explicitly bound
+ g :: forall a. a -> forall b. b -> b -- OK, `a` and `b` are explicitly bound
+ h :: forall a. a -> b -> b -- Rejected, `b` is not in scope
+
+The type signatures for ``f``, ``g``, and ``h`` all begin with an outermost
+``forall``, so every type variable in these signatures must be explicitly
+bound by a ``forall``. Both ``f`` and ``g`` obey the ``forall``-or-nothing
+rule, since they explicitly quantify ``a`` and ``b``. On the other hand,
+``h`` does not explicitly quantify ``b``, so GHC will reject its type
+signature for being improperly scoped.
+
+In places where the ``forall``-or-nothing rule takes effect, if a type does
+*not* have an outermost ``forall``, then any type variables that are not
+explicitly bound by a ``forall`` become implicitly quantified. For example: ::
+
+ i :: a -> b -> b -- `a` and `b` are implicitly quantified
+ j :: a -> forall b. b -> b -- `a` is implicitly quantified
+ k :: (forall a. a -> b -> b) -- `b` is implicitly quantified
+
+GHC will accept ``i``, ``j``, and ``k``'s type signatures. Note that:
+
+- ``j``'s signature is accepted despite its mixture of implicit and explicit
+ quantification. As long as a ``forall`` is not an outermost one, it is fine
+ to use it among implicitly bound type variables.
+- ``k``'s signature is accepted because the outermost parentheses imply that
+ the ``forall`` is not an outermost ``forall``. The ``forall``-or-nothing
+ rule is one of the few places in GHC where the presence or absence of
+ parentheses can be semantically significant!
+
+The ``forall``-or-nothing rule takes effect in the following places:
+
+- Type signature declarations for functions, values, and class methods
+- Expression type annotations
+- Instance declarations
+- :ref:`class-default-signatures`
+- Type signatures in a :ref:`specialize-pragma` or
+ :ref:`specialize-instance-pragma`
+- :ref:`standalone-kind-signatures`
+- Type signatures for :ref:`gadt` constructors
+- Type signatures for :ref:`pattern-synonyms`
+- :ref:`data-instance-declarations`, :ref:`type-instance-declarations`,
+ :ref:`closed-type-families`, and :ref:`assoc-inst`
+- :ref:`rewrite-rules` in which the type variables are explicitly quantified
+Notes:
+
+- :ref:`pattern-type-sigs` are a notable example of a place where
+ types do *not* obey the ``forall``-or-nothing rule. For example, GHC will
+ accept the following: ::
+
+ f (g :: forall a. a -> b) x = g x :: b
+
+ Furthermore, :ref:`rewrite-rules` do not obey the ``forall``-or-nothing rule
+ when their type variables are not explicitly quantified: ::
+
+ {-# RULES "f" forall (g :: forall a. a -> b) x. f g x = g x :: b #-}
+
+- GADT constructors are extra particular about their ``forall``s. In addition
+ to adhering to the ``forall``-or-nothing rule, GADT constructors also forbid
+ nested ``forall``s. For example, GHC would reject the following GADT: ::
+
+ data T where
+ MkT :: (forall a. a -> b -> T)
+
+ Because of the lack of an outermost ``forall`` in the type of ``MkT``, the
+ ``b`` would be implicitly quantified. In effect, it would be as if one had
+ written ``MkT :: forall b. (forall a. a -> b -> T)``, which contains nested
+ ``forall``s. See :ref:`formal-gadt-syntax`.

+Formal syntax for GADTs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To make more precise what is and what is not permitted inside of a GADT-style
+constructor, we provide a BNF-style grammar for GADT below. Note that this
+grammar is subject to change in the future. ::

+ | '!'
+ | '~'
+
+Where:
+
+- ``btype`` is a type that is not allowed to have an outermost
+ ``forall``/``=>`` unless it is surrounded by parentheses. For example,
+ ``forall a. a`` and ``Eq a => a`` are not legal ``btype``s, but
+ ``(forall a. a)`` and ``(Eq a => a)`` are legal.
+- ``ctype`` is a ``btype`` that has no restrictions on an outermost
+ ``forall``/``=>``, so ``forall a. a`` and ``Eq a => a`` are legal ``ctype``s.
+- ``return_type`` is a type that is not allowed to have ``forall``s, ``=>``s,
+ or ``->``s.
+
+This is a simplified grammar that does not fully delve into all of the
+implementation details of GHC's parser (such as the placement of Haddock
+comments), but it is sufficient to attain an understanding of what is
+syntactically allowed. Some further various observations about this grammar:
+
+- GADT constructor types are currently not permitted to have nested ``forall``s
+ or ``=>``s. (e.g., something like ``MkT :: Int -> forall a. a -> T`` would be
+ rejected.) As a result, ``gadt_sig`` puts all of its quantification and
+ constraints up front with ``opt_forall`` and ``opt_context``. Note that
+ higher-rank ``forall``s and ``=>``s are only permitted if they do not appear
+ directly to the right of a function arrow in a `prefix_gadt_body`. (e.g.,
+ something like ``MkS :: Int -> (forall a. a) -> S`` is allowed, since
+ parentheses separate the ``forall`` from the ``->``.)
+- Furthermore, GADT constructors do not permit outermost parentheses that
+ surround the ``opt_forall`` or ``opt_ctxt``, if at least one of them are
+ used. For example, ``MkU :: (forall a. a -> U)`` would be rejected, since
+ it would treat the ``forall`` as being nested.
+
+ Note that it is acceptable to use parentheses in a ``prefix_gadt_body``.
+ For instance, ``MkV1 :: forall a. (a) -> (V1)`` is acceptable, as is
+ ``MkV2 :: forall a. (a -> V2)``.
+- The function arrows in a ``prefix_gadt_body``, as well as the function
+ arrow in a ``record_gadt_body``, are required to be used infix. For
+ example, ``MkA :: (->) Int A`` would be rejected.
+- GHC uses the function arrows in a ``prefix_gadt_body`` and
+ ``prefix_gadt_body`` to syntactically demarcate the function and result
+ types. Note that GHC does not attempt to be clever about looking through
+ type synonyms here. If you attempt to do this, for instance: ::
+
+ type C = Int -> B
+
+ data B where
+ MkB :: C
+
+ Then GHC will interpret the return type of ``MkB`` to be ``C``, and since
+ GHC requires that the return type must be headed by ``B``, this will be
+ rejected. On the other hand, it is acceptable to use type synonyms within
+ the argument and result types themselves, so the following is permitted: ::
+
+ type B1 = Int
+ type B2 = B
+
+ data B where
+ MkB :: B1 -> B2
+- GHC will accept any combination of ``!``/``~`` and
+ ``{-# UNPACK #-}``/``{-# NOUNPACK #-}``, although GHC will ignore some
+ combinations. For example, GHC will produce a warning if you write
+ ``{-# UNPACK #-} ~Int`` and proceed as if you had written ``Int``.
