Monad.Fix
Documentation
class Monad m => MonadFix (m :: * -> *) where #
Monads having fixed points with a 'knot-tying' semantics.
Instances of MonadFix should satisfy the following laws:
- purity
mfix(return. h) =return(fixh)- left shrinking (or tightening)
mfix(\x -> a >>= \y -> f x y) = a >>= \y ->mfix(\x -> f x y)- sliding
, for strictmfix(liftMh . f) =liftMh (mfix(f . h))h.- nesting
mfix(\x ->mfix(\y -> f x y)) =mfix(\x -> f x x)
This class is used in the translation of the recursive do notation
supported by GHC and Hugs.
