# Documentation

newtype Stream m a b Source #

`Stream m a b` is a computation in some Monad `m` that delivers a sequence of elements of type `a` followed by a result of type `b`.

More concretely, a value of type `Stream m a b` can be run using `runStreamInternal` in the Monad `m`, and it delivers either

- the final result: `Done b`, or
- `Yield a str` where `a` is the next element in the stream, and `str` is the rest of the stream
- `Effect mstr` where `mstr` is some action running in `m` which generates the rest of the stream.

Stream is itself a Monad, and provides an operation `yield` that produces a new element of the stream. This makes it convenient to turn existing monadic computations into streams.

The idea is that Stream is useful for making a monadic computation that produces values from time to time. This can be used for knitting together two complex monadic operations, so that the producer does not have to produce all its values before the consumer starts consuming them. We make the producer into a Stream, and the consumer pulls on the stream each time it wants a new value.

`Stream` is implemented in the "yoneda" style for efficiency. By representing a stream in this manner `fmap` and `>>=` operations are accumulated in the function parameters before being applied once when the stream is destroyed. In the old implementation each usage of `mapM` and `>>=` would traverse the entire stream in order to apply the substitution at the leaves.

The >>= operation for `Stream` was a hot-spot in the ticky profile for the ManyConstructors test which called the `cg` function many times in `StgToCmm.hs`

runStream :: Applicative m => Stream m r' r -> StreamS m r' r Source #

yield :: Monad m => a -> Stream m a () Source #

liftIO :: MonadIO m => IO a -> m a Source #

Lift a computation from the `IO` monad. This allows us to run IO computations in any monadic stack, so long as it supports these kinds of operations (i.e. `IO` is the base monad for the stack).

### Example

Expand

    import Control.Monad.Trans.State -- from the "transformers" library

    printState :: Show s => StateT s IO ()
    printState = do
      state <- get
      liftIO $ print state

Had we omitted ``liftIO``, we would have ended up with this error:

    • Couldn't match type ‘IO’ with ‘StateT s IO’
     Expected type: StateT s IO ()
       Actual type: IO ()

The important part here is the mismatch between `StateT s IO ()` and ``IO` ()`.

Luckily, we know of a function that takes an ``IO` a` and returns an `(m a)`: ``liftIO``, enabling us to run the program and see the expected results:

    > evalStateT printState "hello"
    "hello"

    > evalStateT printState 3
    3

collect :: Monad m => Stream m a () -> m [a] Source #

Turn a Stream into an ordinary list, by demanding all the elements.

consume :: (Monad m, Monad n) => Stream m a b -> (forall a. m a -> n a) -> (a -> n ()) -> n b Source #

fromList :: Monad m => [a] -> Stream m a () Source #

Turn a list into a `Stream`, by yielding each element in turn.

map :: Monad m => (a -> b) -> Stream m a x -> Stream m b x Source #

Apply a function to each element of a `Stream`, lazily

mapM :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> Stream m a x -> Stream m b x Source #

Apply a monadic operation to each element of a `Stream`, lazily

mapAccumL_ :: forall m a b c r. Monad m => (c -> a -> m (c, b)) -> c -> Stream m a r -> Stream m b (c, r) Source #

Note this is not very efficient because it traverses the whole stream before rebuilding it, avoid using it if you can. mapAccumL used to implemented but it wasn't used anywhere in the compiler and has similar effiency problems.
