Defines the class SDecide
, allowing for decidable equality over singletons.
The SDecide class
class (kparam ~ KProxy) => SDecide kparam where Source
Members of the SDecide
"kind" class support decidable equality. Instances
of this class are generated alongside singleton definitions for datatypes that
derive an Eq
instance.
(%~) :: forall a b. Sing a -> Sing b -> Decision (a :~: b) Source
Compute a proof or disproof of equality, given two singletons.
Supporting definitions
data a :~: b where
Propositional equality. If a :~: b
is inhabited by some terminating
value, then the type a
is the same as the type b
. To use this equality
in practice, pattern-match on the a :~: b
to get out the Refl
constructor;
in the body of the pattern-match, the compiler knows that a ~ b
.
Since: 4.7.0.0
A logically uninhabited data type.
