简介和示例用例
你好!我在 Haskell 中遇到了问题。让我们考虑以下代码
class PolyMonad m1 m2 m3 | m1 m2 -> m3 where
polyBind :: m1 a -> (a -> m2 b) -> m3 b
它只是声明了一个 poly monad 绑定。一个很好的示例用例场景是:
newtype Pure a = Pure { fromPure :: a } deriving (Show)
instance PolyMonad Pure Pure Pure where
polyBind a f = f (fromPure a)
instance PolyMonad Pure IO IO where
polyBind a f = f (fromPure a)
instance PolyMonad IO Pure IO where
polyBind a f = (fromPure . f) <$> a
instance PolyMonad IO IO IO where
polyBind a f = a >>= f
并将其与-XRebindableSyntax 一起使用,如下所示:
test = do
Pure 5
print "hello"
Pure ()
但我们可以用它做更多的事情 - 这只是一个向您展示示例案例的测试。
问题
让我们考虑一些更复杂的用法。我想写一个类似polymonad的类,它不会总是输出m3 b,但在某些特定情况下,它会为特定的X输出m3 (X b)。为简单起见,假设我们只想在m1 或m2 为IO 时输出m3 (X b)。
似乎我们现在不能在 Haskell 中做到这一点而不会失去灵活性。 我需要在不添加任何类型信息的情况下编译以下函数(Haskell 代码是生成的):
tst1 x = x `polyBind` (\_ -> Pure 0)
tst2 = (Pure 1) `polyBind` (\_ -> Pure 0)
tst3 x y = x `polyBind` (\_ -> y `polyBind` (\_ -> Pure 0))
无论如何,这些函数使用 PolyMonad 类编译得很好。
Fundep 尝试解决问题
其中一种尝试可能是:
class PolyMonad2 m1 m2 m3 b | m1 m2 b -> out where
polyBind2 :: m1 a -> (a -> m2 b) -> out
当然,我们可以轻松编写所有必要的实例,例如:
instance PolyMonad2 Pure Pure b (Pure b) where
polyBind2 a f = f (fromPure a)
instance PolyMonad2 Pure IO b (IO (X b)) where
polyBind2 a f = fmap X $ f (fromPure a)
-- ...
但是当使用polyBind2 而不是polyBind 时,我们的测试函数将无法编译。第一个函数(tst1 x = xpolyBind2(\_ -> Pure 0))输出编译错误:
Could not deduce (PolyMonad2 m1 Pure b0 out)
arising from the ambiguity check for ‘tst1’
from the context (PolyMonad2 m1 Pure b out, Num b)
bound by the inferred type for ‘tst1’:
(PolyMonad2 m1 Pure b out, Num b) => m1 a -> out
at /tmp/Problem.hs:51:1-37
The type variable ‘b0’ is ambiguous
When checking that ‘tst1’
has the inferred type ‘forall (m1 :: * -> *) b out a.
(PolyMonad2 m1 Pure b out, Num b) =>
m1 a -> out’
Probable cause: the inferred type is ambiguous
封闭类型族试图解决问题
更好的方法是在这里使用closed type families,例如:
class PolyMonad3 m1 m2 where
polyBind3 :: m1 a -> (a -> m2 b) -> OutputOf m1 m2 b
type family OutputOf m1 m2 a where
OutputOf Pure Pure a = Pure a
OutputOf x y a = Pure (X a)
但是当尝试编译 tst1 函数 (tst1 x = xpolyBind3(\_ -> Pure 0)) 时,我们得到另一个编译时错误:
Could not deduce (OutputOf m1 Pure b0 ~ OutputOf m1 Pure b)
from the context (PolyMonad3 m1 Pure, Num b)
bound by the inferred type for ‘tst1’:
(PolyMonad3 m1 Pure, Num b) => m1 a -> OutputOf m1 Pure b
at /tmp/Problem.hs:59:1-37
NB: ‘OutputOf’ is a type function, and may not be injective
The type variable ‘b0’ is ambiguous
Expected type: m1 a -> OutputOf m1 Pure b
Actual type: m1 a -> OutputOf m1 Pure b0
When checking that ‘tst1’
has the inferred type ‘forall (m1 :: * -> *) a b.
(PolyMonad3 m1 Pure, Num b) =>
m1 a -> OutputOf m1 Pure b’
Probable cause: the inferred type is ambiguous
一个 hacky 的尝试
我找到了另一种解决方案,但很老套,最终无法正常工作。但这是非常有趣的一个。让我们考虑以下类型类:
class PolyMonad4 m1 m2 b out | m1 m2 b -> out, out -> b where
polyBind4 :: m1 a -> (a -> m2 b) -> out
当然函数依赖out -> b是错误的,因为我们不能定义这样的实例:
instance PolyMonad4 Pure IO b (IO (X b)) where
polyBind4 a f = fmap X $ f (fromPure a)
instance PolyMonad4 IO IO b (IO b) where
polyBind4 = undefined
但让我们玩它并声明它们(使用-XUndecidableInstances):
instance out~(Pure b) => PolyMonad4 Pure Pure b out where
polyBind4 a f = f (fromPure a)
instance out~(IO(X b)) => PolyMonad4 Pure IO b out where
polyBind4 a f = fmap X $ f (fromPure a)
instance out~(IO b) => PolyMonad4 IO IO b out where
polyBind4 = undefined
instance out~(IO(X b)) => PolyMonad4 IO Pure b out where
polyBind4 = undefined
有趣的是,我们的一些测试函数确实可以编译和工作,即:
tst1' x = x `polyBind4` (\_ -> Pure 0)
tst2' = (Pure 1) `polyBind4` (\_ -> Pure 0)
但这个不是:
tst3' x y = x `polyBind4` (\_ -> y `polyBind4` (\_ -> Pure 0))
导致编译时错误:
Could not deduce (PolyMonad4 m3 Pure b0 (m20 b))
arising from the ambiguity check for ‘tst3'’
from the context (PolyMonad4 m3 Pure b1 (m2 b),
PolyMonad4 m1 m2 b out,
Num b1)
bound by the inferred type for ‘tst3'’:
(PolyMonad4 m3 Pure b1 (m2 b), PolyMonad4 m1 m2 b out, Num b1) =>
m1 a -> m3 a1 -> out
at /tmp/Problem.hs:104:1-62
The type variables ‘m20’, ‘b0’ are ambiguous
When checking that ‘tst3'’
has the inferred type ‘forall (m1 :: * -> *)
(m2 :: * -> *)
b
out
a
(m3 :: * -> *)
b1
a1.
(PolyMonad4 m3 Pure b1 (m2 b), PolyMonad4 m1 m2 b out, Num b1) =>
m1 a -> m3 a1 -> out’
Probable cause: the inferred type is ambiguous
使用新类型包装的更骇人听闻的尝试
我告诉过它更hacky,因为它导致我们使用-XIncoherentInstances,即Just (Pure evil)。其中一个想法当然是编写 newtype 包装器:
newtype XWrapper m a = XWrapper (m (X (a)))
还有一些解压它的工具:
class UnpackWrapper a b | a -> b where
unpackWrapper :: a -> b
instance UnpackWrapper (XWrapper m a) (m (X a)) where
unpackWrapper (XWrapper a) = a
instance UnpackWrapper (Pure a) (Pure a) where
unpackWrapper = id
instance UnpackWrapper (IO a) (IO a) where
unpackWrapper = id
现在我们可以轻松声明以下实例:
instance PolyMonad Pure Pure Pure
instance PolyMonad Pure IO (XWrapper IO)
instance PolyMonad IO Pure (XWrapper IO)
instance PolyMonad IO IO IO
但同样,当结合 bind 和 unwrap 函数时,我们无法运行我们的测试:
polyBindUnwrap a f = unpackWrapper $ polyBind a f
测试函数再次编译失败。我们可以在这里乱用一些-XIncoherentInstances(见最后的代码清单),但到目前为止我没有得到任何好的结果。
最后一个问题
这是使用当前 GHC Haskell 实现无法解决的问题吗?
