Synopsis

The monad and its operations

data Q a Source

runQ :: Quasi m => Q a -> m aSource

recoverSource

Arguments

:: Q a

recover with this one

-> Q a

failing action

-> Q a 

reify :: Name -> Q InfoSource

reify looks up information about the Name

location :: Q LocSource

location gives you the Location at which this computation is spliced.

runIO :: IO a -> Q aSource

The runIO function lets you run an I/O computation in the Q monad. Take care: you are guaranteed the ordering of calls to runIO within a single Q computation, but not about the order in which splices are run.

Note: for various murky reasons, stdout and stderr handles are not necesarily flushed when the compiler finishes running, so you should flush them yourself.

reifyInstances :: Name -> [Type] -> Q [Dec]Source

classInstances looks up instaces of a class

Names

data Name Source

For global names (NameG) we need a totally unique name, so we must include the name-space of the thing

For unique-numbered things (NameU), we've got a unique reference anyway, so no need for name space

For dynamically bound thing (NameS) we probably want them to in a context-dependent way, so again we don't want the name space. For example:

 let v = mkName "T" in [| data $v = $v |]

Here we use the same Name for both type constructor and data constructor

NameL and NameG are bound *outside* the TH syntax tree either globally (NameG) or locally (NameL). Ex:

 f x = $(h [| (map, x) |])

The map will be a NameG, and x wil be a NameL

These Names should never appear in a binding position in a TH syntax tree

mkName :: String -> NameSource

The string can have a ., thus Foo.baz, giving a dynamically-bound qualified name, in which case we want to generate a NameQ

Parse the string to see if it has a . in it so we know whether to generate a qualified or unqualified name It's a bit tricky because we need to parse

 Foo.Baz.x   as    Qual Foo.Baz x

So we parse it from back to front

nameBase :: Name -> StringSource

Base, unqualified name.

tupleTypeNameSource

Arguments

:: Int 
-> Name

Type constructor

tupleDataNameSource

Arguments

:: Int 
-> Name

Data constructor

The algebraic data types

The lowercase versions (syntax operators) of these constructors are preferred to these constructors, since they compose better with quotations ([| |]) and splices ($( ... ))

Instances

data Exp Source

The CompE constructor represents a list comprehension, and takes a [Stmt]. The result expression of the comprehension is the *last* of these, and should be a NoBindS.

E.g. translation:

 [ f x | x <- xs ]
 CompE [BindS (VarP x) (VarE xs), NoBindS (AppE (VarE f) (VarE x))]

Constructors

VarE Name
{ x }
ConE Name
data T1 = C1 t1 t2; p = {C1} e1 e2
LitE Lit
{ 5 or c}
AppE Exp Exp
{ f x }
InfixE (Maybe Exp) Exp (Maybe Exp)
{x + y} or {(x+)} or {(+ x)} or {(+)}

It's a bit gruesome to use an Exp as the operator, but how else can we distinguish constructors from non-constructors? Maybe there should be a var-or-con type? Or maybe we should leave it to the String itself?
