Data.Typeable.Internal

Description

The representations of the types TyCon and TypeRep, and the function mkTyCon which is used by derived instances of Typeable to construct a TyCon.

Synopsis

Documentation

data Proxy t Source

A concrete, poly-kinded proxy type

Constructors

Proxy 

data TypeRep Source

A concrete representation of a (monomorphic) type. TypeRep supports reasonably efficient equality.

data TyCon Source

An abstract representation of a type constructor. TyCon objects can be built using mkTyCon.

TyCon 

Fields

tyConFingerprint :: !Fingerprint

Since: 4.8.0.0

tyConPackage :: String

Since: 4.5.0.0

tyConModule :: String

Since: 4.5.0.0

tyConName :: String

Since: 4.5.0.0

typeRep :: forall proxy a. Typeable a => proxy a -> TypeRep Source

Takes a value of type a and returns a concrete representation of that type.

Since: 4.7.0.0

mkTyCon3 Source

Arguments

:: String

package name

-> String

module name

-> String

the name of the type constructor

-> TyCon

A unique TyCon object

Builds a TyCon object representing a type constructor. An implementation of Data.Typeable should ensure that the following holds:

 A==A' ^ B==B' ^ C==C' ==> mkTyCon A B C == mkTyCon A' B' C'

mkTyConApp :: TyCon -> [TypeRep] -> TypeRep Source

Applies a monomorphic type constructor to a sequence of types

mkPolyTyConApp :: TyCon -> [KindRep] -> [TypeRep] -> TypeRep Source

Applies a polymorhic type constructor to a sequence of kinds and types

mkAppTy :: TypeRep -> TypeRep -> TypeRep Source

Adds a TypeRep argument to a TypeRep.

typeRepTyCon :: TypeRep -> TyCon Source

Observe the type constructor of a type representation

class Typeable a where Source

The class Typeable allows a concrete representation of a type to be calculated.

Methods

typeRep# :: Proxy# a -> TypeRep Source

mkFunTy :: TypeRep -> TypeRep -> TypeRep Source

A special case of mkTyConApp, which applies the function type constructor to a pair of types.

splitTyConApp :: TypeRep -> (TyCon, [TypeRep]) Source

Splits a type constructor application. Note that if the type construcotr is polymorphic, this will not return the kinds that were used. See splitPolyTyConApp if you need all parts.

splitPolyTyConApp :: TypeRep -> (TyCon, [KindRep], [TypeRep]) Source

Split a type constructor application

funResultTy :: TypeRep -> TypeRep -> Maybe TypeRep Source

Applies a type to a function type. Returns: Just u if the first argument represents a function of type t -> u and the second argument represents a function of type t. Otherwise, returns Nothing.

typeRepArgs :: TypeRep -> [TypeRep] Source

Observe the argument types of a type representation

typeRepFingerprint :: TypeRep -> Fingerprint Source

Observe the Fingerprint of a type representation

Since: 4.8.0.0

rnfTypeRep :: TypeRep -> () Source

Helper to fully evaluate TypeRep for use as NFData(rnf) implementation

Since: 4.8.0.0

tyConString :: TyCon -> String Source

Deprecated: renamed to tyConName; tyConModule and tyConPackage are also available.

Observe string encoding of a type representation

rnfTyCon :: TyCon -> () Source

Helper to fully evaluate TyCon for use as NFData(rnf) implementation

Since: 4.8.0.0

typeRepKinds :: TypeRep -> [KindRep] Source

Observe the argument kinds of a type representation

typeLitTypeRep :: String -> TypeRep Source

An internal function, to make representations for type literals.
