---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- | -- Module : Unbound.LocallyNameless -- License : BSD-like (see LICENSE) -- Maintainer : Brent Yorgey -- Stability : experimental -- Portability : GHC only (-XKitchenSink) -- -- A generic implementation of standard functions dealing with names -- and binding structure (alpha equivalence, free variable -- calculation, capture-avoiding substitution, name permutation, ...) -- using a locally nameless representation. (See "Unbound.Nominal" for -- a nominal implementation of the same interface.) -- -- Normal users of this library should only need to import this module -- (or "Unbound.Nominal"). In particular, this module is careful to -- export only an abstract interface with various safety guarantees. -- Power users who wish to have access to the internals of the library -- (at the risk of shooting oneself in the foot) can directly import -- the various implementation modules such as -- "Unbound.LocallyNameless.Name" and so on. -- -- /Ten-second tutorial/: use the type combinators 'Bind', 'Embed', -- 'Rebind', 'Rec', 'TRec', and 'Shift' to specify the binding -- structure of your data types. Then use Template Haskell to derive -- generic representations for your types: -- -- > $(derive [''Your, ''Types, ''Here]) -- -- Finally, declare 'Alpha' and 'Subst' instances for your types. -- Then you can go to town using all the generically-derived -- operations like 'aeq', 'fv', 'subst', and so on. -- -- For more information, see the more in-depth literate Haskell -- tutorial in the @tutorial@ directory (which can be obtained as part -- of the library source package: @cabal unpack unbound@) and the -- examples in the @example@ directory. -- -- See also: Stephanie Weirich, Brent Yorgey, and Tim Sheard. -- /Binders Unbound/.

Any 'Name's occurring in term types are -- either free variables, or /references/ to binders. -- -- * /Pattern types/ are types which may be used on the left -- hand side of a 'Bind'. They /bind/ names, that is, any -- 'Name's occurring in pattern types are /binding sites/ to -- which other names may refer. -- -- 'Name' may be used as both a term type (where it represents a -- free variable/reference) and a pattern type (where it -- represents a binding site). -- -- Any first-order algebraic data type (/i.e./ one containing no -- functions) which contains only term types may be used as a -- term type, and likewise for algebraic data types containing -- only pattern types. For example, -- -- > (Name, [Name]) -- -- may be used as either a term type or a pattern type. On the -- other hand, -- -- > (Bind Name Name, Name) -- -- may only be used as a term type, since @Bind Name Name@ is a -- term type and not a pattern type. -- -- We adopt the convention that the type variable @t@ stands for -- term types, and the type variable @p@ stands for pattern -- types. It would be nicer if we could actually use Haskell's -- type system to enforce the distinction, but for various -- technical reasons (involving the RepLib generic programming -- framework which is used in the implementation), we cannot. -- Or at least, we are not sufficiently clever to see how. -- ** Bind Bind, -- *** Bind constructor bind, -- *** Bind destructors -- | Directly pattern-matching on 'Bind' values is not allowed, -- but there are quite a few different ways to safely \"open\" a -- binding. (If you want direct, unsafe access to the -- components of a binding --- e.g. to write a function to -- compute the size of terms that ignores all names --- you can -- directly import "Unbound.LocallyNameless.Ops" and use the -- 'unsafeUnbind' function.) unbind, lunbind, -- *** Simultaneous unbinding -- | Sometimes one may wish to open several bindings using /same/ -- names for their binding variables --- for example, when -- checking equality of terms involving binders, so that the -- free variables in the bodies will match appropriately during -- recursive calls. Opening two bindings simultaneously is -- accomplished with 'unbind2' (which picks globally fresh -- names) and 'lunbind2' (which picks /locally/ fresh names, see -- the 'LFresh' documentation for more information). 'unbind3' -- and 'lunbind3' open three bindings simultaneously. In -- principle, of course, @unbindN@ and @lunbindN@ can be easily -- implemented for any @N@; please let the maintainers know if -- for some reason you would like an N > 3. unbind2, unbind3, lunbind2, lunbind3, -- ** Embed Embed(..), embed, unembed, -- ** Rebind Rebind, rebind, unrebind, -- ** Rec Rec, rec, unrec, -- ** TRec TRec, trec, untrec, luntrec, -- ** Shift Shift(..), -- * Generically derived operations -- | This section lists a number of operations which are derived -- generically for any types whose binding structure is -- specified via the type combinators described in the previous -- section. -- ** Alpha-equivalence aeq, aeqBinders, acompare, -- ** Variable calculations -- | Functions for computing the free variables or binding -- variables of a term or pattern.
