Data.Constraint.Extras

Description

Throughout this module, we use the following GADT and ArgDict instance in our examples:

{-# LANGUAGE StandaloneDeriving #-}

data Tag a where
  I :: Tag Int
  B :: Tag Bool
deriving instance Show (Tag a)

$(deriveArgDict ''Tag)

The constructors of Tag mean that a type variable a in Tag a must come from the set { Int, Bool }. We call this the "set of types a that could be applied to Tag".

Synopsis

The ArgDict typeclass

class ArgDict (c :: k -> Constraint) (f :: k -> Type) where Source #

Morally, this class is for GADTs whose indices can be finitely enumerated. An ArgDict c f instance allows us to do two things:

  1. ConstraintsFor requests the set of constraints c a for all possible types a that could be applied to f.
  2. argDict selects a specific c a given a value of type f a.

Use deriveArgDict to derive instances of this class.

Associated Types

type ConstraintsFor f c :: Constraint Source #

Apply c to each possible type a that could appear in a f a.

ConstraintsFor Show Tag = (Show Int, Show Bool)

Methods

argDict :: ConstraintsFor f c => f a -> Dict (c a) Source #

Use an f a to select a specific dictionary from ConstraintsFor f c.

argDict I :: Dict (Show Int)

Associated Types

type ConstraintsFor (Sum f g) c Source #

Methods

argDict :: forall (a :: k0). ConstraintsFor (Sum f g) c => Sum f g a -> Dict (c a) Source #

(ArgDict c f, ArgDict c g) => ArgDict (c :: k -> Constraint) (f :+: g :: k -> Type) Source #

Since: 0.3.2.0

Instance details

Defined in Data.Constraint.Extras

Associated Types

type ConstraintsFor (f :+: g) c Source #

Methods

argDict :: forall (a :: k0). ConstraintsFor (f :+: g) c => (f :+: g) a -> Dict (c a) Source #

type ConstraintsFor' f (c :: k -> Constraint) (g :: k' -> k) = ConstraintsFor f (ComposeC c g) Source #

"Primed" variants (ConstraintsFor', argDict', Has', has', &c.) use the ArgDict instance on f to apply constraints on g a instead of just a. This is often useful when you have data structures parameterised by something of kind (x -> Type) -> Type, like in the dependent-sum and dependent-map libraries.

ConstraintsFor' Tag Show Identity = (Show (Identity Int), Show (Identity Bool))

argDict' :: forall f c g a. Has' c f g => f a -> Dict (c (g a)) Source #

Get a dictionary for a specific g a, using a value of type f a.

argDict' B :: Dict (Show (Identity Bool))

type ConstraintsForV (f :: (k -> k') -> Type) (c :: k' -> Constraint) (g :: k) = ConstraintsFor f (FlipC (ComposeC c) g) Source #

argDictV :: forall f c g v. HasV c f g => f v -> Dict (c (v g)) Source #

Bringing instances into scope

type Has (c :: k -> Constraint) f = (ArgDict c f, ConstraintsFor f c) Source #

Has c f is a constraint which means that for every type a that could be applied to f, we have c a.

Has Show Tag = (ArgDict Show Tag, Show Int, Show Bool)

has :: forall c f a r. Has c f => f a -> (c a => r) -> r Source #

Use the a from f a to select a specific c a constraint, and bring it into scope. The order of type variables is chosen to work with -XTypeApplications.

-- Hold an a, along with a tag identifying the a.
data SomeTagged tag where
  SomeTagged :: a -> tag a -> SomeTagged tag

-- Use the stored tag to identify the thing we have, allowing us to call 'show'. Note that we
-- have no knowledge of the tag type.
showSomeTagged :: Has Show tag => SomeTagged tag -> String
showSomeTagged (SomeTagged a tag) = has @Show tag $ show a

type Has' (c :: k -> Constraint) f (g :: k' -> k) = (ArgDict (ComposeC c g) f, ConstraintsFor' f c g) Source #

Has' c f g is a constraint which means that for every type a that could be applied to f, we have c (g a).

Has' Show Tag Identity = (ArgDict (Show . Identity) Tag, Show (Identity Int), Show (Identity Bool))

has' :: forall c g f a r. Has' c f g => f a -> (c (g a) => r) -> r Source #

Like has, but we get a c (g a) instance brought into scope instead. Use -XTypeApplications to specify c and g.

-- From dependent-sum:Data.Dependent.Sum
data DSum tag f = forall a. !(tag a) :=> f a

-- Show the value from a dependent sum. (We'll need 'whichever', discussed later, to show the key.)
showDSumVal :: forall tag f . Has' Show tag f => DSum tag f -> String
showDSumVal (tag :=> fa) = has' @Show @f tag $ show fa

type HasV c f g = (ArgDict (FlipC (ComposeC c) g) f, ConstraintsForV f c g) Source #

hasV :: forall c g f v r. HasV c f g => f v -> (c (v g) => r) -> r Source #

whichever :: forall c t a r. ForallF c t => (c (t a) => r) -> r Source #

Given "forall a. c (t a)" (the ForallF c t constraint), select a specific a, and bring c (t a) into scope. Use -XTypeApplications to specify c, t and a.

-- Show the tag of a dependent sum, even though we don't know the tag type.
showDSumKey :: forall tag f . ForallF Show tag => DSum tag f -> String
showDSumKey ((tag :: tag a) :=> fa) = whichever @Show @tag @a $ show tag

Misc

class Implies1 c d where Source #

Allows explicit specification of constraint implication.

Methods

implies1 :: c a :- d a Source #

Deprecated

type ArgDictV f c = ArgDict f c Source #

Deprecated: Just use ArgDict
