ghc-typelits-natnormalise: GHC typechecker plugin for types of kind GHC.TypeLits.Nat

[ bsd2, library, type-system ] [ Propose Tags ]

A type checker plugin for GHC that can solve equalities and inequalities of types of kind Nat, where these types are either:

  • Type-level naturals

  • Type variables

  • Applications of the arithmetic expressions (+,-,*,^).

It solves these equalities by normalising them to sort-of SOP (Sum-of-Products) form, and then perform a simple syntactic equality.

For example, this solver can prove the equality between:

(x + 2)^(y + 2)

and

4*x*(2 + x)^y + 4*(2 + x)^y + (2 + x)^y*x^2

Because the latter is actually the SOP normal form of the former.

To use the plugin, add the

OPTIONS_GHC -fplugin GHC.TypeLits.Normalise

Pragma to the header of your file.

A type checker plugin for GHC that can solve equalities and inequalities of types of kind Nat, where these types are either:

  • Type-level naturals
  • Type variables
  • Applications of the arithmetic expressions (+,-,*,^).

It solves these equalities by normalising them to sort-of SOP (Sum-of-Products) form, and then perform a simple syntactic equality.

For example, this solver can prove the equality between:

and

4*x*(2 + x)^y + 4*(2 + x)^y + (2 + x)^y*x^2
