#13480: GHCi display visible type application -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #8751 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Similar to #8751, have a way to get GHCi to dump which types an expression is applied to: {{{ ghci> :tyapp length [1,2,3] length @[] @Integer [1,2,3] }}} It could also function as the [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master /users-guide/ghci.html#ghci-cmd-:all-types :all-types], [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-guide/ghci.html#ghci-cmd -:type-at :type-at] commands where we can specify a region of code (from [https://www.researchgate.net/publication /282487445_Combining_Deep_and_Shallow_Embedding_of_Domain- Specific_Languages?ev=pubitem-pub_cit_inc Combining Deep and Shallow Embedding of Domain-Specific Languages]) {{{#!hs fromFunC :: FunC (m (Internal a)) -> Mon m a fromFunC m = M $ \k -> fromFunC Bind m k }}} displays {{{#!hs fromFunC :: FunC (m (Internal a)) -> Mon m a fromFunC m = M @m @a $ \(k :: a -> FunC (m b)) -> fromFunC @(FunC (m (Internal a)) -> (a -> FunC (m b)) -> FunC (m b)) (Bind @m @(Internal a) @b) m k }}} Would be great to get this feature as an IDE support. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13480 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
