Description

The representations of the types TyCon and TypeRep, and the function mkTyCon which is used by derived instances of Typeable to construct TyCons.

Be warned, these functions can be used to construct ill-kinded type representations.

Type representations

data TypeRep (a :: k) Source #

A concrete representation of a (monomorphic) type. TypeRep supports reasonably efficient equality.

Instances

mkTrApp :: forall k1 k2 (a :: k1 -> k2) (b :: k1). TypeRep (a :: k1 -> k2) -> TypeRep (b :: k1) -> TypeRep (a b) Source #

Construct a representation for a type application.

mkTyCon Source #

Arguments

:: String	package name
-> String	module name
-> String	the name of the type constructor
-> Int	number of kind variables
-> KindRep	kind representation
-> TyCon	A unique `TyCon` object Used when the strings are dynamically allocated, eg from binary deserialisation

Exquisitely unsafe.

typeRepFingerprint :: TypeRep a -> Fingerprint Source #

Observe the Fingerprint of a type representation

Since: 4.8.0.0

someTypeRepFingerprint :: SomeTypeRep -> Fingerprint Source #

Kind representations

data KindRep #

The representation produced by GHC for conjuring up the kind of a TypeRep. See Note [Representing TyCon kinds: KindRep] in TcTypeable.

mkTrCon :: forall k (a :: k). TyCon -> [SomeTypeRep] -> TypeRep a Source #

Construct a representation for a type constructor applied at a monomorphic kind.

Note that this is unsafe as it allows you to construct ill-kinded types.

tyConKindArgs :: TyCon -> Int Source #
