From d1b1e07ffccd5251d5bb529a8a32b5b73481d39d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomas Grosup Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 16:10:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/18] Add ImplicitDIMCoverage language feature with implementation - Add LanguageFeature.ImplicitDIMCoverage gated to preview version - Add FSComp.txt feature description - Create DIMSlotCoverageTests.fs with comprehensive tests - Implement DIM coverage filtering in MethodOverrides.fs: - Add slotHasDIMCoverage helper to check if slot is covered by DIM - Filter DIM-covered slots in CheckOverridesAreAllUsedOnce (error checking) - Filter DIM-covered slots in slot-to-override matching (IL generation) - Tests verify: - C# interface with DIM allows implicit slot coverage (succeeds) - Pure F# interface hierarchy still requires explicit impl (FS0361) - Explicit implementation of both interfaces works --- src/Compiler/Checking/MethodOverrides.fs | 39 +++---- src/Compiler/FSComp.txt | 1 + src/Compiler/Facilities/LanguageFeatures.fs | 3 + src/Compiler/Facilities/LanguageFeatures.fsi | 1 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.cs.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.de.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.es.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.fr.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.it.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.ja.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.ko.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.pl.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.pt-BR.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.ru.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.tr.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.zh-Hans.xlf | 5 + src/Compiler/xlf/FSComp.txt.zh-Hant.xlf | 5 + .../FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests.fsproj | 1 + .../Interop/DIMSlotCoverageTests.fs | 105 ++++++++++++++++++ 19 files changed, 196 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests/Interop/DIMSlotCoverageTests.fs diff --git a/src/Compiler/Checking/MethodOverrides.fs b/src/Compiler/Checking/MethodOverrides.fs index 60da9ac1ba4..b3ce65c8b0d 100644 --- a/src/Compiler/Checking/MethodOverrides.fs +++ b/src/Compiler/Checking/MethodOverrides.fs @@ -590,11 +590,12 @@ module DispatchSlotChecking = let amap = infoReader.amap let availPriorOverridesKeyed = availPriorOverrides |> NameMultiMap.initBy (fun ov -> ov.LogicalName) + for overrideBy in overrides do if not overrideBy.IsFakeEventProperty then let m = overrideBy.Range -

The default implementation from `IB` is used unless explicitly overridden. - -In **§13.5.1 Dispatch Slot Inference**, add: - -> When determining the set of dispatch slots that a member implementation must satisfy, slots covered by a default interface member implementation in the implemented interface hierarchy are excluded from conflict detection. - -# Drawbacks - -1. **Subtlety**: The automatic satisfaction of base interface slots via DIMs may be non-obvious to developers unfamiliar with DIM semantics. - -2. **Debugging Surprise**: When debugging, stepping into an interface method might unexpectedly land in a DIM instead of user code. - -3. **Behavioral Reliance on C# Code**: F# behavior becomes dependent on DIM presence in C# interfaces, which may change. - -# Alternatives - -## Alternative 1: Warning Instead of Automatic Resolution - -Emit an informational warning when DIMs cover base interface slots, then proceed: - -``` -Warning FS0362: Member 'Count' also satisfies 'IReadOnlyCollection.Count' -via default interface member in 'ICollection'. -``` - -**Rejected**: Adds noise for a pattern that will become common with BCL evolution. - -## Alternative 2: Require Explicit Acknowledgment - -Require empty `interface IA` declarations, but suppress FS0361: - -```fsharp -type C() = - interface IB with - member _.M() = 42 - interface IA // Required acknowledgment -``` - -**Rejected**: Still causes source-breaking changes when BCL adds new inheritance relationships. - -## Alternative 3: Attribute-Based Opt-In - -Add `[]` or similar: - -```fsharp -[] -type C() = - interface IB with - member _.M() = 42 -``` - -**Rejected**: Overly verbose and doesn't address the core BCL evolution problem. - -## Alternative 4: Do Nothing - -Keep current behavior and document workarounds. - -**Rejected**: Blocks BCL improvements and degrades F# interop story. - -# Prior Art - -## C# - -C# allows implementing interface hierarchies without explicit base interface declarations. The DIM mechanism was designed for exactly this BCL evolution scenario. When a class implements `IB : IA` where `IB` provides `int IA.M() => ...`, C# allows: - -```csharp -class C : IB -{ - public int M() => 42; // Satisfies IB.M; IA.M uses DIM -} -``` - -C# errors only on true diamond ambiguity without a most-specific implementation. - -## C++/CLI - -Also allows implicit DIM satisfaction without explicit base interface declarations. - -## Java (Default Methods) - -Java 8+ default methods follow similar semantics—implementing a sub-interface doesn't require re-implementing methods that have defaults in the hierarchy. - -# Compatibility - -## Is this a breaking change? - -**No.** This change makes previously-invalid code valid. No existing valid code is affected. - -## Previous F# Compiler Versions - -### Source Code - -Older compilers emit FS0361 for code that the new compiler accepts. Projects targeting older compilers must continue using explicit interface declarations. - -### Compiled Binaries - -No impact. The IL is identical whether the user wrote explicit declarations or relied on DIM coverage. - -## Language Version Gating - -This change should be gated on a language version (e.g., F# 10). When compiling with `--langversion:9.0`, the old FS0361 behavior applies. - -# Interop - -## Consumption by Other .NET Languages - -No impact. The generated IL is standard .NET interface implementation. - -## Proposed C#/BCL Features - -This RFC specifically enables [dotnet/runtime#116497](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/116497) and similar BCL improvements: -- `ICollection : IReadOnlyCollection` -- `IList : IReadOnlyList` -- `IDictionary : IReadOnlyDictionary` - -These have been blocked by F# compatibility concerns. - -# Pragmatics - -## Diagnostics - -### Removed/Modified Errors - -- **FS0361**: No longer emitted when all conflicting slots except one are DIM-covered. - -### Retained Errors - -- **FS0361**: Still emitted for true multi-slot conflicts (no DIM coverage). -- **Diamond ambiguity errors**: Still emitted when DIMs conflict without most-specific. -- **FS0365** (No implementation was given): Still emitted for abstract members without implementations or DIM coverage. - -### Potential New Warning (Optional) - -Consider an opt-in informational message (off by default): - -``` -FS0362: Member 'M' satisfies slot 'IA.M' via default interface member in 'IB'. -``` - -**Decision**: Not implemented initially; can be added if user confusion warrants it. - -## Tooling - -### IDE Features - -- **Tooltips**: Should indicate when a slot is satisfied via DIM (enhancement, not blocking). -- **Go To Definition**: Navigate to the DIM when clicking an implicitly-satisfied slot. -- **Error Recovery**: No changes needed. - -### Debugging - -- **Stepping**: Behavior unchanged; stepping into DIM-satisfied calls lands in the DIM. - -## Performance - -### Compilation - -Negligible impact.

This aligns with current behavior and makes intent clear. - -## Q2: Interaction with `--warnon:3501` (Implicit Interface Implementations) - -The existing informational warning for implicit implementations should not fire for DIM-covered slots. - -**Decision**: DIM-covered slots are excluded from warning 3501. - -## Q3: Should the Fix Apply to Non-DIM Hierarchies? - -Consider: - -```csharp -public interface IA { void M(); } -public interface IB : IA { new void M(); } // No DIM for IA.M -``` - -Currently errors. Should it auto-satisfy `IA.M` via `IB.M`? - -**Decision**: No. Without a DIM, `IA.M` remains unsatisfied—this is correct behavior. The caller of `IA.M` expects `IA.M` behavior, which may differ from `IB.M`. This RFC addresses only DIM-covered slots where the interface author has explicitly declared equivalence. - -## Q4: Tooling for Discovering DIM Coverage - -Should the IDE show which slots are DIM-covered in interface views? - -**Decision**: Desirable as a future enhancement, not blocking for this RFC. diff --git a/docs/release-notes/.FSharp.Compiler.Service/10.0.200.md b/docs/release-notes/.FSharp.Compiler.Service/10.0.200.md index 6402c991f59..8ceeed465d5 100644 --- a/docs/release-notes/.FSharp.Compiler.Service/10.0.200.md +++ b/docs/release-notes/.FSharp.Compiler.Service/10.0.200.md @@ -1,18 +1,47 @@ ### Fixed +* Fixed SRTP resolution regression causing FS0030 value restriction errors with FSharpPlus curryN-style patterns in .NET 9 SDK.
