Internal types - githwxi/ATS-Postiats GitHub Wiki

Internal types are introduced in the file pats_staexp2.sats, and having a better understanding of how these types relate to actual ATS types will be helpful in debugging.

• S2Eapp - an application term.
• S2Ecst - a type constant (for instance, int, bool, list, etc.)
• S2Eeff - function effects.
• S2Eexi - an existentially quantified type.
• S2Eint - machine precision integer.
• S2Eintinf - infinite precision integer; commonly used for integer sorts in most compiled versions of atsopt (patsopt).
• S2Evar - a (typically universally quantified) variable.
• S2Etop(knd=0; T) means T?
• S2Etop(knd=1; T) means T?!
• S2EVar - an (existentially quantified) unification variable introduced by the typechecker.
• S2RTBASpre(s) - predicative sort s.
• S2RTBASimp(1; s) - impredicative sort s.
