This library contains the following modules: RepLib.R - Basic type representations RepLib.R1 - Parameterized type representations RepLib.Derive - Template Haskell code to automatically derive representations of datatypes. RepLIb.PreludeReps - Reps of Prelude types RepLib.RepAux - Helper functions to define type-indexed functions RepLib.Lib - Examples of specializable type-indexed functions RepLib.PreludeLib - Examples type-indexed functions from prelude RepLib.SYB.Aliases - SYB: Port of Data.Generics.Aliases RepLib.SYB.Schemes - SYB: Port of Data.Generics.Schemes RepLib - Toplevel module that imports all of the above To use this library, import RepLib and derive representations of your datatypes. The "Lib" module contains a number of type-indexed operations that have been predefined. To see an example of automatically deriving the representation of a datatype, see the file Main.hs. Currently, the representations of datatypes with record components, GADTs and nested datatypes cannot be automatically derived.
