在haskell中实现统一算法

Question

我正在尝试使用指定为的算法实现统一函数

unify α α = idSubst
unify α β = update (α, β) idSubst
unify α (τ1 ⊗ τ2) =
    if α ∈ vars(τ1 ⊗ τ2) then
      error ”Occurs check failure”
    else
      update (α, τ1 ⊗ τ2) idSubst
unify (τ1 ⊗ τ2) α = unify α (τ1 ⊗ τ2)
unify (τ1 ⊗1 τ2) (τ3 ⊗2 τ4) = if ⊗1 == ⊗2 then
                                   (subst s2) . s1
                                  else
                                   error ”not unifiable.”
          where s1 = unify τ1 τ3
                s2 = unify (subst s1 τ2) (subst s1 τ4)

其中 ⊗ 是类型构造函数 {→, ×} 之一。

但是我不明白如何在 haskell 中实现这一点。我该怎么办？

import Data.List
import Data.Char

data  Term =   Var String | Abs  (String,Term) | Ap Term Term  | Pair Term Term | Fst Term | Snd Term
        deriving (Eq,Show)

data Op = Arrow | Product deriving (Eq)


data  Type =   TVar  String |  BinType Op  Type   Type
        deriving (Eq)

instance Show Type where
   show (TVar x) = x
   show (BinType Arrow t1 t2) = "(" ++ show t1 ++ " -> " ++ show t2 ++ ")"
   show (BinType Product t1 t2) = "(" ++ show t1 ++ " X " ++ show t2 ++ ")"

type Substitution = String -> Type

idSubst :: Substitution
idSubst x = TVar x

update :: (String, Type) -> Substitution -> Substitution
update (x,y) f = (\z -> if z == x then y else f z)


-- vars collects all the variables occuring in a type expression
vars :: Type -> [String]
vars ty = nub (vars' ty) 
    where vars' (TVar x) = [x]
          vars' (BinType op t1 t2) = vars' t1 ++ vars' t2

subst :: Substitution -> Type -> Type
subst s (TVar x) = s x
subst s (BinType op t1 t2) = BinType op (subst s t1) (subst s t2)

unify :: Type -> Type -> Substitution
unify (TVar x) (TVar y) = update (x, TVar y) idSubst

Answer 1

unify :: Type -> Type -> Substitution
unify (TVar x) (TVar y) = update (x, TVar y) idSubst

这是一个很好的开始！

现在你只需要处理其他情况：

这是第一个代表的方式：

unify (TVar x) (TVar y) | x == y = idSubst

您可以使用模式匹配将您的Type 分解为适当的构造函数和守卫以处理特定情况。

Haskell 有一个 error :: String -> a 函数，它的工作原理与您上面的伪代码中的相同，并且 if/then/else 语法相同，所以您就快到了！
