* Sun Mar 02 2025 Peter Simons <psimons@suse.com>
- Update th-abstraction to version 0.7.1.0 revision 1.
Upstream has revised the Cabal build instructions on Hackage.
* Thu Dec 05 2024 Peter Simons <psimons@suse.com>
- Update th-abstraction to version 0.7.1.0.
[#]# 0.7.1.0 -- 2024.12.05
* Drop support for pre-8.0 versions of GHC.
* Sun Mar 17 2024 Peter Simons <psimons@suse.com>
- Update th-abstraction to version 0.7.0.0.
[#]# 0.7.0.0 -- 2024.03.17
* `DatatypeInfo` now has an additional `datatypeReturnKind` field. Most of the
time, this will be `StarT`, but this can also be more exotic kinds such as
`ConT ''UnliftedType` if dealing with primitive types, `UnliftedDatatypes`,
or `UnliftedNewtypes`.
* `reifyDatatype` and related functions now support primitive types such as
`Int#`. These will be reified as `DatatypeInfo`s with no `ConstructorInfo`s
and with `Datatype` as the `datatypeVariant`.
* `normalizeCon` now takes a `Kind` argument representing the return kind of
the parent data type. (This is sometimes necessary to determine which type
variables in the data constructor are universal or existential, depending
on if the variables appear in the return kind.)
* Fix a couple of bugs in which `normalizeDec` would return incorrect results
for GADTs that use `forall`s in their return kind.

[#]# 0.6.0.0 -- 2023.07.31
* Support building with `template-haskell-2.21.0.0` (GHC 9.8).
* Adapt to `TyVarBndr`s for type-level declarations changing their type from
`TyVarBndr ()` to `TyVarBndr BndrVis` in `template-haskell`:
* `Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr` now backports `type BndrVis = ()`,
as well as `BndrReq` and `BndrInvis` pattern synonyms. These make it
possible to write code involving `BndrVis` that is somewhat backwards
compatible (but do see the caveats in the Haddocks for `BndrInvis`).
* `Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr` also backports the following
definitions:
* The `type TyVarBndrVis = TyVarBndr BndrVis` type synonym.
* The `DefaultBndrFlag` class, which can be used to write code that is
polymorphic over `TyVarBndr` flags while still allowing the code to return
a reasonable default value for the flag.
* The `bndrReq` and `bndrInvis` definitions, which behave identically to
`BndrReq` and `BndrInvis`.
* `Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr` now defines the following utility
functions, which are not present in `template-haskell`:
* `plainTVReq`, `plainTVInvis`, `kindedTVReq`, and `kindedTVInvis`
functions, which construct `PlainTV`s and `KindedTV`s with particular
`BndrVis` flags.
* An `elimTVFlag`, which behaves like `elimTV`, but where the continuation
arguments also take a `flag` argument. (Note that the type of this
function is slightly different on old versions of `template-haskell`.
See the Haddocks for more.)
* A `tvFlag` function, which extracts the `flag` from a `TyVarBndr`. (Note
that the type of this function is slightly different on old versions of
`template-haskell`. See the Haddocks for more.)
* The types of the `dataDCompat` and `newtypeDCompat` functions have had
their `[TyVarBndrUnit]` arguments changed to `[TyVarBndrVis]`, matching
similar changes to `DataD` and `NewtypeD` in `template-haskell`.
Because `BndrVis` is a synonym for `()` on pre-9.8 versions of GHC, this
change is unlikely to break any existing code, provided that you build it
with GHC 9.6 or earlier. If you build with GHC 9.8 or later, on the other
hand, it is likely that you will need to update your existing code. Here are
some possible ways that your code might fail to compile with GHC 9.8, along
with some migration strategies:
* Your code passes a `TyVarBndrUnit` in a place where a `TyVarBndrVis` is now
expected in GHC 9.8, such as in the arguments to `dataDCompat`:
```hs
import "template-haskell" Language.Haskell.TH
import "th-abstraction" Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype (dataDCompat)
dec :: DecQ
dec = dataDCompat (pure []) d [PlainTV a ()] [] []
where
d = mkName "d"
a = mkName "a"
```
With GHC 9.8, this will fail to compile with:
```
error: [GHC-83865]
• Couldn't match expected type ‘BndrVis’ with actual type ‘()’
• In the second argument of ‘PlainTV’, namely ‘()’
In the expression: PlainTV a ()
In the third argument of ‘dataDCompat’, namely ‘[PlainTV a ()]’
|
| dec = dataDCompat (pure []) d [PlainTV a ()] [] []
| ^^
```
Some possible ways to migrate this code include:
* Use the `bndrReq` function or `BndrReq` pattern synonym in place of `()`,
making sure to import them from `Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr`:
```hs
...
import "th-abstraction" Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr
dec :: DecQ
dec = dataDCompat (pure []) d [PlainTV a bndrReq] [] []
- - Or, alternatively:
{-
dec = dataDCompat (pure []) d [PlainTV a BndrReq] [] []
- }
where
...
```
* Use the `plainTV` function from `Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr`,
which is now sufficiently polymorphic to work as both a `TyVarBndrUnit`
and a `TyVarBndrVis`:
```hs
...
import Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr
dec :: DecQ
dec = dataDCompat (pure []) d [plainTV a] [] []
where
...
```
* You may have to replace some uses of `TyVarBndrUnit` with `TyVarBndrVis`
in your code. For instance, this will no longer typecheck in GHC 9.8 for
similar reasons to the previous example:
```hs
import "template-haskell" Language.Haskell.TH
import "th-abstraction" Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype (dataDCompat)
dec :: DecQ
dec = dataDCompat (pure []) d tvbs [] []
where
tvbs :: [TyVarBndrUnit]
tvbs = [plainTV a]
d = mkName "d"
a = mkName "a"
```
Here is a version that will typecheck with GHC 9.8 and earlier:
```hs
...
import "th-abstraction" Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr
dec :: DecQ
dec = dataDCompat (pure []) d tvbs [] []
where
tvbs :: [TyVarBndrVis]
tvbs = [plainTV a]
...
```
* In some cases, the `TyVarBndrUnit`s might come from another place in the
code, e.g.,
```hs
import "template-haskell" Language.Haskell.TH
import "th-abstraction" Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype (dataDCompat)
dec :: [TyVarBndrUnit] -> DecQ
dec tvbs = dataDCompat (pure []) d tvbs [] []
where
d = mkName "d"
```
If it is not straightforward to change `dec`'s type to accept
`[TyVarBndrVis]` as an argument, another viable option is to use the
`changeTVFlags` function:
```hs
...
import "th-abstraction" Language.Haskell.TH.Datatype.TyVarBndr
dec :: [TyVarBndrUnit] -> DecQ
dec tvbs = dataDCompat (pure []) d tvbs' [] []
where
tvbs' :: [TyVarBndrVis]
tvbs' = changeTVFlags bndrReq tvbs
...
```
This guide, while not comprehensive, should cover most of the common cases one
will encounter when migrating their `th-abstraction` code to support GHC 9.8.
