Description

Monadic fixpoints.

Synopsis

Documentation

class Monad m => MonadFix m where Source #

Monads having fixed points with a 'knot-tying' semantics. Instances of MonadFix should satisfy the following laws:

purity
mfix (return . h) = return (fix h)
left shrinking (or tightening)
mfix (\x -> a >>= \y -> f x y) = a >>= \y -> mfix (\x -> f x y)
sliding
mfix (liftM h . f) = liftM h (mfix (f . h)), for strict h.
nesting
mfix (\x -> mfix (\y -> f x y)) = mfix (\x -> f x x)

This class is used in the translation of the recursive do notation supported by GHC and Hugs.

Minimal complete definition

mfix

Methods

mfix :: (a -> m a) -> m a Source #

The fixed point of a monadic computation. mfix f executes the action f only once, with the eventual output fed back as the input. Hence f should not be strict, for then mfix f would diverge.
