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
(fix
h)- left shrinking (or tightening)
mfix
(\x -> a >>= \y -> f x y) = a >>= \y ->mfix
(\x -> f x y)- sliding
, for strictmfix
(liftM
h . f) =liftM
h (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.
