Data.HList.HCurry

Convert between functions taking HLists and functions taking many arguments

Documentation

class HLengthEq xs n => HCurry' (n :: HNat) f xs r | f xs -> r, r xs -> f, n f -> xs, xs -> n where

curry/uncurry for many arguments and HLists instead of tuples

XXX the last FD xs -> n is needed to make hCompose infer the right types: arguably it shouldn't be needed

Methods

hUncurry' :: Proxy n -> f -> HList xs -> r

hCurry' :: Proxy n -> (HList xs -> r) -> f

Instances

HCurry' 'HZero b ('[] :: [Type]) b

Defined in Data.HList.HCurry

Methods

hUncurry' :: Proxy 'HZero -> b -> HList '[] -> b

hCurry' :: Proxy 'HZero -> (HList '[] -> b) -> b

HCurry' n b xs r => HCurry' ('HSucc n) (x -> b) (x ': xs) r

Defined in Data.HList.HCurry

Methods

hUncurry' :: Proxy ('HSucc n) -> (x -> b) -> HList (x ': xs) -> r

hCurry' :: Proxy ('HSucc n) -> (HList (x ': xs) -> r) -> x -> b

hUncurry :: forall (n :: HNat) f (xs :: [Type]) r. (HCurry' n f xs r, ArityFwd f n, ArityRev f n) => f -> HList xs -> r

hCurry :: forall (n :: HNat) f (xs :: [Type]) r. (HCurry' n f xs r, ArityFwd f n, ArityRev f n) => (HList xs -> r) -> f

Note: with ghc-7.10 the Arity constraint added here does not work properly with hCompose, so it is possible that other uses of hCurry are better served by hCurry' Proxy.

hCompose :: forall (xs1 :: [Type]) (xs2 :: [Type]) (xsys :: [Type]) (n1 :: HNat) f1 r (n2 :: HNat) b (n3 :: HNat) f2 x. (HAppendList1 xs1 xs2 xsys, HCurry' n1 f1 xsys r, HCurry' n2 b xs2 r, HCurry' n3 f2 xs1 x, ArityFwd b n2, ArityFwd f2 n3, ArityRev b n2, ArityRev f2 n3, HSplitAt1 ('[] :: [Type]) n3 xsys xs1 xs2) => (x -> b) -> f2 -> f1

compose two functions that take multiple arguments. The result of the second function is the first argument to the first function. An example is probably clearer:

>>> let f = hCompose (,,) (,)
>>> :t f
f :: ... -> ... -> ... -> ... -> ((..., ...), ..., ...)

>>> f 1 2 3 4
((1,2),3,4)

Note: polymorphism can make it confusing as to how many parameters a function actually takes. For example, the first two ids are id :: (a -> b) -> (a -> b) in

>>> (.) id id id 'y'
'y'

>>> hCompose id id id 'y'
'y'

still typechecks, but in that case hCompose i1 i2 i3 x == i1 ((i2 i3) x) has id with different types than @(.) i1 i2 i3 x == (i1 (i2 i3)) x
