{-| Module: Data.Foldable.Deriving Copyright: (C) 2015-2017 Ryan Scott License: BSD-style (see the file LICENSE) Maintainer: Ryan Scott Portability: Template Haskell Exports functions to mechanically derive 'Foldable' instances in a way that mimics how the @-XDeriveFoldable@ extension works since GHC 8.0. These changes make it possible to derive @Foldable@ instances for data types with existential constraints, e.g., @ data WrappedSet a where WrapSet :: Ord a => a -> WrappedSet a deriving instance Foldable WrappedSet -- On GHC 8.0 on later $(deriveFoldable ''WrappedSet) -- On GHC 7.10 and earlier @ In addition, derived 'Foldable' instances from this module do not generate superfluous 'mempty' expressions in its implementation of 'foldMap'. One can verify this by compiling a module that uses 'deriveFoldable' with the @-ddump-splices@ GHC flag. For more info on these changes, see . -} module Data.Foldable.Deriving ( -- * 'Foldable' deriveFoldable , deriveFoldableOptions , makeFoldMap , makeFoldMapOptions , makeFoldr , makeFoldrOptions , makeFold , makeFoldOptions , makeFoldl , makeFoldlOptions -- * 'FFTOptions' , FFTOptions(..) , defaultFFTOptions -- * 'deriveFoldable' limitations -- $constraints ) where import Data.Functor.Deriving.Internal {- $constraints Be aware of the following potential gotchas: * If you are using the @-XGADTs@ or @-XExistentialQuantification@ extensions, an existential constraint cannot mention the last type variable. For example, @data Illegal a = forall a. Show a => Illegal a@ cannot have a derived 'Functor' instance. * Type variables of kind @* -> *@ are assumed to have 'Foldable' constraints. If this is not desirable, use 'makeFoldr' or 'makeFoldMap'. -}
