Deprecated: P is no longer used; use R instead

Tag for K1: parameters (other than the last)

type D1 = M1 DSource

Type synonym for encoding meta-information for datatypes

type C1 = M1 CSource

Type synonym for encoding meta-information for constructors

type S1 = M1 SSource

Type synonym for encoding meta-information for record selectors

data D Source

Tag for M1: datatype

Meta-information

class Datatype d whereSource

Class for datatypes that represent datatypes

Methods

datatypeName :: t d (f :: * -> *) a -> [Char]Source

The name of the datatype (unqualified)

moduleName :: t d (f :: * -> *) a -> [Char]Source

The fully-qualified name of the module where the type is declared

class Constructor c whereSource

Class for datatypes that represent data constructors

Methods

conName :: t c (f :: * -> *) a -> [Char]Source

The name of the constructor

conFixity :: t c (f :: * -> *) a -> FixitySource

The fixity of the constructor

conIsRecord :: t c (f :: * -> *) a -> BoolSource

Marks if this constructor is a record

class Selector s whereSource

Class for datatypes that represent records

Methods

selName :: t s (f :: * -> *) a -> [Char]Source

The name of the selector

Instances

data NoSelector Source

Used for constructor fields without a name

Instances

data Fixity Source

Datatype to represent the fixity of a constructor. An infix | declaration directly corresponds to an application of Infix.

Constructors

Prefix 
Infix Associativity Int 

data Associativity Source

Datatype to represent the associativity of a constructor

data Arity Source

Datatype to represent the arity of a tuple.

Constructors

NoArity 
Arity Int 

prec :: Fixity -> IntSource

Get the precedence of a fixity value.
