Data.OpenUnion1

Description

Original work at http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/extensible/OpenUnion1.hs. Open unions (type-indexed co-products) for extensible effects. This implementation relies on _closed_ overlapping instances (or closed type function overlapping soon to be added to GHC).

Synopsis

Documentation

data Union r v Source

Where r is t1 :> t2 ... :> tn, Union r v can be constructed with a value of type ti v. Ideally, we should be be able to add the constraint Member t r.

Constructors

forall t . (Functor t, Typeable t) => Union (t v)

Instances

Functor (Union k r)

class Member t r => SetMember set t r | r set -> t Source

SetMember is similar to Member, but it allows types to belong to a "set". For every set, only one member can be in r at any given time. This allows us to specify exclusivity and uniqueness among arbitrary effects:

-- Terminal effects (effects which must be run last)
data Terminal

-- Make Lifts part of the Terminal effects set.
-- The fundep assures that there can only be one Terminal effect for any r.
instance Member (Lift m) r => SetMember Terminal (Lift m) r

-- Only allow a single unique Lift effect, by making a "Lift" set.
instance Member (Lift m) r => SetMember Lift (Lift m) r

Instances

SetMember k k1 set t r => SetMember k * set t ((:>) k t' r)
SetMember ((* -> ) -> -> ) Lift (Lift m) ((:>) * (Lift m) ())

class Member t r Source

The Member t r specifies whether t is present anywhere in the sum type r, where t is some effectful type, e.g. Lift IO, State Int`.

Instances

Member k k1 t r => Member k * t ((:>) k t' r)
Member (* -> ) t ((:>) k t r)

data a :> b infixr 1 Source

A sum data type, for composing effects

Instances

SetMember k k1 set t r => SetMember k * set t ((:>) k t' r)
Member k k1 t r => Member k * t ((:>) k t' r)
SetMember ((* -> ) -> -> ) Lift (Lift m) ((:>) * (Lift m) ())
Member (* -> ) t ((:>) k t r)

inj :: (Functor t, Typeable t, Member t r) => t v -> Union r v Source

Construct a Union.

prj :: (Typeable t, Member t r) => Union r v -> Maybe (t v) Source

Try extracting the contents of a Union as a given type.

prjForce :: (Typeable t, Member t r) => Union r v -> (t v -> a) -> a Source

Extract the contents of a Union as a given type. If the Union isn't of that type, a runtime error occurs.

decomp :: Typeable t => Union (t :> r) v -> Either (Union r v) (t v) Source

Try extracting the contents of a Union as a given type. If we can't, return a reduced Union that excludes the type we just checked.

unsafeReUnion :: Union r w -> Union t w Source

Juggle types for a Union. Use cautiously.
