- data AvailInfo
  - = Avail Name
  - | AvailTC Name [Name]
- availsToNameSet :: [AvailInfo] -> NameSet

# Documentation

type Avails = [AvailInfo] Source

A collection of `AvailInfo` - several things that are "available"

data AvailInfo Source

Records what things are "available", i.e. in scope

Constructors

Avail Name | An ordinary identifier in scope
AvailTC Name [Name] | A type or class in scope. Parameters: 1) The name of the type or class 2) The available pieces of type or class. The AvailTC Invariant: * If the type or class is itself to be in scope, it must be *first* in this list. Thus, typically: `AvailTC Eq [Eq, ==, /=]`

Instances

Eq AvailInfo |
Outputable AvailInfo |
Binary AvailInfo |

availsToNameSet :: [AvailInfo] -> NameSet Source

availsToNameEnv :: [AvailInfo] -> NameEnv AvailInfo Source

availName :: AvailInfo -> Name Source

Just the main name made available, i.e. not the available pieces of type or class brought into scope by the `GenAvailInfo`

availNames :: AvailInfo -> [Name] Source

All names made available by the availability information

stableAvailCmp :: AvailInfo -> AvailInfo -> Ordering Source
