posable: A product-of-sums generics library

[ bsd3, generics, library ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

A generics library that represents a non-recursive Haskell 98 datatype as a product-of-sums. Each type is represented with a single tag, and a product of sums of fields. The tag represents all constructor choices in the type, the fields contain all the values in the type. This representation maps easily to a struct of unions, which is a memory-efficient way to store sum datatypes.

Readme for posable-1.0.0.1

[back to package description]

POSable

A library to convert non-recursive Haskell-98 datatypes to a Product-of-Sums representation - and back. This makes it possible to compactly store arrays of (nested) sum types in a struct-of-arrays representation, which is used in array-based languages like Accelerate.

Dependencies

  • The Stack package manager (Tested with stack 2.7.3)
  • stylish-haskell and hlint (for linting only)

Tests and lints

stylish-haskell -r src examples test
hlint src examples test
stack test

Building

stack build
# To build the docs
stack haddock posable

Examples

In the examples folder you will find examples that describe how to use this library.
