RE: Overlapping instances and multi-parameter classes
by Simon Peyton-Jones 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

I had a look. It turns out to be an utterly bogus and incorrect test for overlap in 6.2. As it happens, I've already re-written that part of the compiler in the HEAD, to do lazy overlap resolution. In GHC 6.2 the instances instance C a Bool instance C Bool a are rejected because they overlap (unless you have -fallow-overlapping-instances). In GHC HEAD the instances are not rejected. Reason: if we are seeking an instance declaration matching (C Bool Int) then plainly only one of the instances match. So GHC HEAD reports overlap only if a lookup finds two matching instances, rather than when the instance declarations themselves are declared. Kind of like lazy reporting of overlap of unqualified names in the module system. Anyway, it happens that I'd inadvertently thereby fixed the bug you found. Since it's rather a dark corner, I don't propose to fix it for 6.2. Thanks for reporting it though.

Re: Polymorphic lists...
by MR K P SCHUPKE 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

This is the latest varient. Let me know whether you guys find this interesting, as I am coding what I need for a practical application, it may be tedious for you... I am still of the opinion that some kind of polygenious list (or maybe heteromorphic?) would be good in the standard libraries, whether it my code, someone elses or some combination. My initial feeling would be to standardise our function , class and type naming so the different kinds of list/set can be put into the same codebase, possibly aimed at being Data.PolyLists, also what is required to get these in the library - just the code, neat code, a report, or some kind of proposal ? infixr 1 `MCons` data MNil = MNil deriving Show data MCons l a r = a `MCons` r deriving Show class MRelation r instance MRelation MNil instance MRelation r => MRelation (MCons l a r) This is a labelled list. It uses a phantom type to label each node, but it theoretically needs no storage for the label... Standard list functions operate as before, and ignore the phantom type. class MRelation r => MList r where mHead :: MCons l a r -> a mTail :: MCons l a r -> r mIsEmpty :: r -> Bool instance MList MNil where mHead (x `MCons` _) = x mTail (_ `MCons` _) = MNil mIsEmpty MNil = True instance MList r => MList (MCons l a r) where mHead (x `MCons` _) = x mTail (_ `MCons` xs) = xs mIsEmpty (_ `MCons` _) = False I have the usual suspects fold/map/zip/unzip, and natural number lookup coded. This is the nice touch though, an indexed lookup on the phatom type, which finds the Nth occurance of a given type in the list: class (MRelation r,Nat n) => MLookup l n r a | l n r -> a where mLookup :: r -> l -> n -> a instance MRelation r => MLookup l Zero (MCons l a r) a where mLookup (x `MCons` _) _ Zero = x instance MLookup l n r b => MLookup l (Suc n) (MCons l a r) b where mLookup (_ `MCons` xs) l (Suc n) = mLookup xs l n instance MLookup l n r b => MLookup l n (MCons m a r) b where mLookup (_ `MCons` xs) l n = mLookup xs l n heres an example: data Name = Name data Size = Size data Weight = Weight test = MCons Name String (MCons Size Int (MCons Weight Float MNil)) test = "Box" `MCons` 3 `MCons` 1.1 putStrLn $ show $ mLookup test Name zero putStrLn $ show $ mLookup test Size zero putStrLn $ show $ mLookup test Weight zero putStrLn $ show $ mLookup (test `mProduct` test) Name one putStrLn $ show $ mLookup (test `mProduct` test) Weight zero These last two show how to access the labels from the right and left sides of the product when some/all domains have the same name.

Re: Polymorphic lists...
by MR K P SCHUPKE 11 Mar '04

Hi Oleg, I like the polymorphic list indexed by Ints... there do seem to be a couple of differences between this and the list indexed by natural numbers. The list indexed by integers cannot determine the type of the return value through induction on the class... in other words it cannot determine the return type of the lookup function until runtime: you can see this in the class instance for 'tke' > instance (TH a (a,b), TH W b) => TH W (a,b) where > tke (W 0) th@(h,t) f = f h th > tke (W n) (h,t) f = tke (W$ n-1) t f On the other hand indexing by natural numbers allows the compiler to know the return type (and avoid the use of existentials) because it is determined at compile time... you can see this because the recursion termination is done by the type signatures in the instance not the pattern guards of the function. instance Relation r => RIndex Zero (a `RCons` r) a where rIndex Zero (x `RCons` _) = x instance RIndex Idx r b => RIndex Idx (a `RCons` r) b where rIndex (Suc n) (_ `RCons` xs) = rIndex n xs It looks like most of this stuff has been done before... but I don't think there is any of it in the ghc libraries. I needed this code for a real application, and could not find anything suitable so I rolled my own. What do people think - is there a case for getting this stuff in the libs, should we write a functional pearl? does anyone have any comments about the code I posted, or how it could be improved? To finish, here are some new definitions for map,zip and unzip class Relation r => RMap t r where rMap :: t -> r -> r instance RMap t RNil where rMap _ RNil = RNil instance (RMapFn t a,RMap t r) => RMap t (a `RCons` r) where rMap t (x `RCons` xs) = rMapFn t x `RCons` rMap t xs class RMapFn t a where rMapFn :: t -> a -> a data RMapId = RMapId instance RMapFn RMapId a where rMapFn RMapId a = a class (Relation r1,Relation r2,Relation r3) => RZip r1 r2 r3 | r1 r2 -> r3 where rZip :: r1 -> r2 -> r3 instance RZip RNil RNil RNil where rZip _ _ = RNil instance RZip r1 r2 r3 => RZip (a `RCons` r1) (b `RCons` r2) ((a,b) `RCons` r3) where rZip (x `RCons` xs) (y `RCons` ys) = (x,y) `RCons` rZip xs ys class (Relation r1,Relation r2,Relation r3) => RUnZip r1 r2 r3 | r1 -> r2 r3 where rUnZip :: r1 -> (r2,r3) instance RUnZip RNil RNil RNil where rUnZip _ = (RNil,RNil) instance RUnZip r1 r2 r3 => RUnZip ((a,b) `RCons` r1) (a `RCons` r2) (b `RCons` r3) where rUnZip ((x,y) `RCons` xys) = (x `RCons` xs,y `RCons` ys) where (xs,ys) = rUnZip xys and finally a lookup that indexes by the left type of a pair and returns the right type & value stored in a polymorphic list: class Relation r => RLookup r l v | r l -> v where rLookup :: r -> l -> v instance Relation r => RLookup ((l,v) `RCons` r) l v where rLookup ((_,v) `RCons` _) _ = v instance RLookup r l v => RLookup ((l',v') `RCons` r) l v where rLookup (_ `RCons` r) l = rLookup r l Regards, Keean Schupke.

Yes, this let will be done strictly. Indeed, any let which is sure to be demanded (according to the Demand value of the Id) will turn into a case in STG, and similarly for an expression in the argument position of a strict function call. I believe the motivation was that this makes things much easier for the simplifier, but Simon PJ will be able to elaborate I'm sure. > Like how ISTR Int#s always > appear to have strictness L (these inconsitencies make things > much more difficult as a user IMO, incidentally).

Yes, that's right. A strict let, where the RHS is just a primop that can't fault, is left as a let rather than being expressed as a case, because it can be 'floated' easily to somewhere else, or inlined. A 'case' says "do this here and now" and is much less mobile. But when the type is unboxed, the let is indeed done eagerly. It's a slight hack really. We could have Rec NonRec Unboxed as three forms of binding, but currently the latter are combined into NonRec and distinguished by type. Simon

Didn't know If I should post it straight away... its quite long and I dont do attachments (well not If I can help it.

I have written a first attempt at a fold function for the heterogenious list: class RFold i r where rFold :: (forall a . a -> i -> i) -> i -> r -> i instance RFold i RNil where rFold f i RNil = i instance RFold i r => RFold i (a `RCons` r) where rFold f i (x `RCons` xs) = f x (rFold f i xs) This works providing the folded 'op' has the type: forall a . a -> i -> i which means it does not work for functions like show :: forall a . Show a => a -> i -> i as the types are different. I have not figured out a way to make it accept a constraint like Show for example. Here is an example: length = rFold (\_ -> (+1)) 0 relation The use of such a function seems limited, if constraints like Show cannot be used, as most useful applications of fold would require some kind of class membership for example: string = rFold shows "" relation This fails to compile because shows has type: shows :: forall a . Show a => a -> i -> i but fold expects op :: forall a . a -> i -> i Regards, Keean Schupke.
