Instances

type HsContext = [HsAsst]

type HsAsst = (HsQName, [HsType])

Types

data HsType

Haskell types and type constructors.

Constructors

HsTyTuple [HsType]	tuple type
HsTyApp HsType HsType	application of a type constructor
HsTyVar HsName	type variable
HsTyCon HsQName	named type or type constructor

Instances

data HsExp

Haskell expressions.

Notes:

Because it is difficult for parsers to distinguish patterns from expressions, they typically parse them in the same way and then check that they have the appropriate form. Hence the expression type includes some forms that are found only in patterns. After these checks, these constructors should not be used.
The parser does not take precedence and associativity into account, so it will leave HsInfixApps associated to the left.
The Pretty instance for HsExp does not add parentheses in printing.
