Re: [Haskell-cafe] Function returning the type of its argument.

* Grigory Sarnitskiy [2011-07-29 21:54:05+0400]

It is not possible in Haskell, moreover it seems to be too alien to Haskell. Nevertheless, is there an extension which would allow to write a function that returns the type of its argument?

Sounds like you want typeOf. http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/Data-Typeab... But be sure you *really* need this (or ask us if in doubt). -- Roman I. Cheplyaka :: http://ro-che.info/
