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.

addDependentFile :: FilePath -> Q ()Source

Record external files that runIO is using (dependent upon). The compiler can then recognize that it should re-compile the file using this TH when the external file changes. Note that ghc -M will still not know about these dependencies - it does not execute TH. Expects an absolute file path.

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

Constructors

Name OccName NameFlavour 

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.

The algebraic data types

Note [Unresolved infix] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When implementing antiquotation for quasiquoters, one often wants to parse strings into expressions:

 parse :: String -> Maybe 'Exp'

But how should we parse a + b * c? If we don't know the fixities of + and *, we don't know whether to parse it as a + (b * c) or (a + b) * c.

In cases like this, use UInfixE or UInfixP, which stand for "unresolved infix expression" and "unresolved infix pattern". When the compiler is given a splice containing a tree of UInfixE applications such as

 UInfixE
   (UInfixE e1 op1 e2)
   op2
   (UInfixE e3 op3 e4)

it will look up and the fixities of the relevant operators and reassociate the tree as necessary.

  • trees will not be reassociated across ParensE or ParensP, which are of use for parsing expressions like
 (a + b * c) + d * e
  • InfixE and InfixP expressions are never reassociated.
  • The UInfixE constructor doesn't support sections. Sections such as (a *) have no ambiguity, so InfixE suffices. For longer sections such as (a + b * c -), use an InfixE constructor for the outer-most section, and use UInfixE constructors for all other operators:
 InfixE
   Just (UInfixE ...a + b * c...)
   op
   Nothing

Sections such as (a + b +) and ((a + b) +) should be rendered into Exps differently:

 (+ a + b)   ---> InfixE Nothing + (Just $ UInfixE a + b)
                    -- will result in a fixity error if (+) is left-infix
 (+ (a + b)) ---> InfixE Nothing + (Just $ ParensE $ UInfixE a + b)
                    -- no fixity errors
  • Quoted expressions such as
 [| a * b + c |] :: Q Exp
 [p| a : b : c |] :: Q Pat

will never contain UInfixE, UInfixP, ParensE, or ParensP constructors.

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

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?

Instances

Eq NameFlavour 
Data NameFlavour

Although the NameFlavour type is abstract, the Data instance is not. The reason for this is that currently we use Data to serialize values in annotations, and in order for that to work for Template Haskell names introduced via the 'x syntax we need gunfold on NameFlavour to work. Bleh!

The long term solution to this is to use the binary package for annotation serialization and then remove this instance. However, to do _that_ we need to wait on binary to become stable, since boot libraries cannot be upgraded seperately from GHC itself.

This instance cannot be derived automatically due to bug #2701
