Data.HList.HCurry

Description

Convert between functions taking HLists and functions taking many arguments

Synopsis

Documentation

class HLengthEq xs n => HCurry' n f xs r | f xs -> r, r xs -> f, n f -> xs, xs -> n where Source

'curry'/'uncurry' for many arguments and HLists instead of tuples

XXX the last FD xs -> n is needed to make hCompose infer the right types: arguably it shouldn't be needed

Methods

hUncurry' :: Proxy n -> f -> HList xs -> r Source

hCurry' :: Proxy n -> (HList xs -> r) -> f Source

Instances

HCurry' HZero b ([] *) b
HCurry' n b xs r => HCurry' (HSucc n) (x -> b) ((:) * x xs) r

hUncurry :: (HCurry' n f xs r, ArityFwd f n, ArityRev f n) => f -> HList xs -> r Source

hCurry :: (HCurry' n f xs r, ArityFwd f n, ArityRev f n) => (HList xs -> r) -> f Source

Note: with ghc-7.10 the Arity constraint added here does not work properly with hCompose, so it is possible that other uses of hCurry are better served by hCurry' Proxy.

hCompose :: (HCurry' n2 f2 xs1 r, HCurry' n1 f1 xs x, HCurry' n f xsys r, HSplitAt1 ([] *) n1 xsys xs xs1, HAppendList1 * xs xs1 xsys, ArityFwd f2 n2, ArityFwd f1 n1, ArityRev f2 n2, ArityRev f1 n1) => (x -> f2) -> f1 -> f Source

compose two functions that take multiple arguments. The result of the second function is the first argument to the first function. An example is probably clearer:

>>> let f = hCompose (,,) (,)
>>> :t f
f :: ... -> ... -> ... -> ... -> ((..., ...), ..., ...)

>>> f 1 2 3 4
((1,2),3,4)

Note: polymorphism can make it confusing as to how many parameters a function actually takes. For example, the first two ids are id :: (a -> b) -> (a -> b) in

>>> (.) id id id 'y'
'y'

>>> hCompose id id id 'y'
'y'

still typechecks, but in that case hCompose i1 i2 i3 x == i1 ((i2 i3) x) has id with different types than @(.) i1 i2 i3 x == (i1 (i2 i3)) x
