"GHC.TypeLits.KnownNat.Solver" does not seem to find the corresponding 'KnownNat2' instance for my type-level operation At the Core-level, GHCs internal mini-Haskell, type families that only have a single equation are treated like type synonyms. For example, let's say we defined a closed type family @Max@: @ import Data.Type.Bool (If) import GHC.TypeLits type family Max (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat) :: Nat where Max a b = If (a <=? b) b a @ Now, a Haskell-level program might contain a constraint @ KnownNat (Max a b) @ , however, at the Core-level, this constraint is expanded to: @ KnownNat (If (a <=? b) b a) @ "GHC.TypeLits.KnownNat.Solver" never sees any reference to the @Max@ type family, so it will not look for the corresponding 'KnownNat2' instance either. To fix this, ensure that your type-level operations always have at least two equations. For @Max@ this means we have to redefine it as: @ type family Max (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat) :: Nat where Max 0 b = b Max a b = If (a <=? b) b a @ -} {-# LANGUAGE AllowAmbiguousTypes #-} {-# LANGUAGE CPP #-} {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-} {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-} {-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-} {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-} {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-} {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-} {-# LANGUAGE Trustworthy #-} {-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wno-unused-top-binds -fexpose-all-unfoldings #-} {-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK show-extensions #-} module GHC.TypeLits.KnownNat ( -- * Singleton natural number SNatKn (..) -- * Constraint-level arithmetic classes , KnownNat1 (..) , KnownNat2 (..) , KnownNat3 (..) -- * Template Haskell helper , nameToSymbol ) where import Data.Bits (shiftL) import Data.Proxy (Proxy (..)) #if MIN_VERSION_ghc(8,2,0) import GHC.TypeNats (KnownNat, Nat, type (+), type (*), type (^), type (-), type (<=), natVal) import GHC.TypeLits (Symbol) import Numeric.Natural (Natural) #else import GHC.TypeLits (KnownNat, Nat, Symbol, type (+), type (*), type (^), type (-), type (<=), natVal) #endif import GHC.TypeLits.KnownNat.TH -- | Singleton natural number newtype SNatKn (f :: Symbol) = #if MIN_VERSION_ghc(8,2,0) SNatKn Natural #else SNatKn Integer #endif -- | Class for arithmetic functions with /one/ argument. -- -- The 'Symbol' /f/ must correspond to the fully qualified name of the -- type-level operation.
