Contents

Description

This module defines the list of recognized modular features of Haskell, most often (sloppily) referred to as "extensions".

Closely mimicking the Language.Haskell.Extension module from the Cabal library, this package also includes functionality for "computing" languages as sets of features. Also, we make no promise not to add extensions not yet recognized by Cabal.

data KnownExtension Source #

Constructors

OverlappingInstances
GHC § 7.6.3.4
Allow overlapping class instances, provided there is a unique most specific instance for each use.
UndecidableInstances
GHC § 7.6.3.3
Ignore structural rules guaranteeing the termination of class instance resolution. Termination is guaranteed by a fixed-depth recursion stack, and compilation may fail if this depth is exceeded.
IncoherentInstances
GHC § 7.6.3.4
Implies OverlappingInstances. Allow the implementation to choose an instance even when it is possible that further instantiation of types will lead to a more specific instance being applicable.
InstanceSigs
GHC § 7.6.3.5
Allow type signatures in instances.
DoRec
GHC § 7.3.8
Deprecated in GHC. Allows recursive bindings in do blocks, using the rec keyword.
RecursiveDo
GHC § 7.3.8.2
Allows recursive bindings using mdo, a variant of do, and rec.
ParallelListComp
GHC § 7.3.9
Provide syntax for writing list comprehensions which iterate over several lists together, like the zipWith family of functions.
MultiParamTypeClasses
GHC § 7.6.1.1
Allow multiple parameters in a type class.
MonomorphismRestriction
GHC § 7.17
Enable the dreaded monomorphism restriction.
FunctionalDependencies
GHC § 7.6.2
Allow a specification attached to a multi-parameter type class which indicates that some parameters are entirely determined by others. The implementation will check that this property holds for the declared instances, and will use this property to reduce ambiguity in instance resolution.
Rank2Types
GHC § 7.8.5
Like RankNTypes but does not allow a higher-rank type to itself appear on the left of a function arrow.
RankNTypes
GHC § 7.8.5
Allow a universally-quantified type to occur on the left of a function arrow.
PolymorphicComponents
GHC § 7.8.5
Allow data constructors to have polymorphic arguments. Unlike RankNTypes, does not allow this for ordinary functions.
ExistentialQuantification
GHC § 7.4.4
Allow existentially-quantified data constructors.
ScopedTypeVariables
GHC § 7.8.7
Cause a type variable in a signature, which has an explicit forall quantifier, to scope over the definition of the accompanying value declaration.

Enable implicit function parameters with dynamic scope.
FlexibleContexts
GHC § 7.8.2
Relax some restrictions on the form of the context of a type signature.
FlexibleInstances

Relax some restrictions on the form of the context of an instance declaration.

Allow data type declarations with no constructors.
CPP

Run the C preprocessor on Haskell source code.
KindSignatures
GHC § 7.8.4
Allow an explicit kind signature giving the kind of types over which a type variable ranges.

Enable a form of pattern which forces evaluation before an attempted match, and a form of strict let/where binding.
TypeSynonymInstances
GHC § 7.6.3.1
Allow type synonyms in instance heads.
TemplateHaskell
GHC § 7.9
Enable Template Haskell, a system for compile-time metaprogramming.
ForeignFunctionInterface
GHC § 8
Enable the Foreign Function Interface. In GHC, implements the standard Haskell 98 Foreign Function Interface Addendum, plus some GHC-specific extensions.
Arrows
GHC § 7.10
Enable arrow notation.
Generics
GHC § 7.16
Enable generic type classes, with default instances defined in terms of the algebraic structure of a type.
ImplicitPrelude
GHC § 7.3.11
Enable the implicit importing of the module Prelude. When disabled, when desugaring certain built-in syntax into ordinary identifiers, use whatever is in scope rather than the Prelude -- version.
NamedFieldPuns
GHC § 7.3.15
Enable syntax for implicitly binding local names corresponding to the field names of a record. Puns bind specific names, unlike RecordWildCards.
PatternGuards
GHC § 7.3.5

HereDocuments
Hugs § 7.3
Enable an alternate syntax for string literals, with string templating.
MagicHash
GHC § 7.3.2
Allow the character # as a postfix modifier on identifiers. Also enables literal syntax for unboxed values.

TypeOperators
GHC § 7.4.2
Allow the name of a type constructor, type class, or type variable to be an infix operator.
ParallelArrays
GHC § 7.26.5
Parallel arrays for Data Parallel Haskell.
RecordWildCards
GHC § 7.3.16
Enable syntax for implicitly binding local names corresponding to the field names of a record. A wildcard binds all unmentioned names, unlike NamedFieldPuns.

LambdaCase 
EmptyCase
GHC § 7.3.20
Allow case expressions with no alternatives.
ImpredicativeTypes

NewQualifiedOperators
GHC § 7.3.3
Change the syntax for qualified infix operators.
PostfixOperators
GHC § 7.3.12
Relax the interpretation of left operator sections to allow unary postfix operators.
QuasiQuotes

Enables the use of tuple sections, e.g. (, True) desugars into x -> (x, True).

GHCForeignImportPrim

Allows GHC primops, written in C--, to be imported into a Haskell file.

NPlusKPatterns

Improve the layout rule when if expressions are used in a do block.

RebindableSyntax

Makes much of the Haskell sugar be desugared into calls to the function with a particular name that is in scope.

ExplicitForAll

Make forall a keyword in types, which can be used to give the generalisation explicitly.

DatatypeContexts

Allow contexts to be put on datatypes, e.g. the Eq a in data Eq a => Set a = NilSet | ConsSet a (Set a).

Safe
GHC § 7.20
Compile a module in the Safe, Safe Haskell mode -- a restricted form of the Haskell language to ensure type safety.
Trustworthy

Compile a module in the Trustworthy, Safe Haskell mode -- no restrictions apply but the module is marked as trusted as long as the package the module resides in is trusted.
DefaultSignatures
GHC § 7.6.1.4
Allow default signatures in class definitions. They apply to default methods implemented in this class.
ConstraintKinds
GHC § 7.40
Allow type classimplicit parameterequality constraints to be used as types with the special kind Constraint. Also generalise the (ctxt => ty) syntax so that any type of kind Constraint can occur before the arrow.

classifyExtension :: String -> Extension Source #

A clever version of read that returns an UnknownExtension if the string is not recognised.

parseExtension :: String -> Extension Source #

Parse an enabled or disabled extension; returns UnknownExtension if the parse fails.

Extension groups

glasgowExts :: [Extension] Source #

The list of extensions enabled by GHC's portmanteau -fglasgow-exts flag.

knownExtensions :: [Extension] Source #

List of all known extensions, both "yes" and "no" versions.

deprecatedExtensions :: [(Extension, Maybe Extension)] Source #

Extensions that have been deprecated, possibly paired with another extension that replaces it.

Semantics of extensions applied to languages

impliesExts :: [KnownExtension] -> [KnownExtension] Source #

Certain extensions imply other extensions, and this function makes the implication explicit. This also handles deprecated extensions, which imply their replacements. The returned value is the transitive closure of implied extensions.
