假设我们有一个类,Foo这样的实例Foo f为我们提供了实现Functor f,Foldable f和所需的一切Traversable f。为了避免重叠实例,可以在 newtype 包装器之间Foo和Functor, Foldable, Traversable下见证这种关系:
type Foo :: (Type -> Type) -> Constraint
class Foo f
where
{- ... -}
type FoonessOf :: (Type -> Type) -> Type -> Type
newtype FoonessOf f a = FoonessOf (f a)
instance Foo f => Functor (FoonessOf f)
where
fmap = _
instance Foo f => Foldable (FoonessOf f)
where
foldMap = _
instance Foo f => Traversable (FoonessOf f)
where
traverse = _

现在假设我们有一些类型构造函数:
data Bar a = Bar {- ... -}
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)
这样有一个:
instance Foo Bar
where
{- ... -}

我们想配备Bar它的“ Foo-ness”所隐含的实例。既然Bar a是Coercible要FoonessOf Bar a,我们就希望能够推导实例via的FoonessOf Bar:
deriving via (FoonessOf Bar) instance Functor Bar
deriving via (FoonessOf Bar) instance Foldable Bar

这适用于类型类,例如Functor和Foldable
不幸的是,当我们尝试用 做同样的事情时Traversable,事情会出错:

with that of ‘f1 (Bar a1)’

所以我的问题是:
Traversable Bar?Traversable可以通过 newtype 派生的类进行一些修改?我怀疑1.的答案是:不,情况无法挽救,并且不可能获得Traversable使用的实例DerivingVia。
就 2. 而言,尝试在更简单的上下文中重现问题很有用。考虑以下:
\n-- Remember to turn on ScopedTypeVariables!\n\ndata A = A\nnewtype B = B A\n\na :: forall f. f A -> f A\na = id\n\nb :: forall f. f B -> f B\nb = coerce $ a @f\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n看起来这应该可行,但可惜的是:
\n[typecheck -Wdeferred-type-errors] [E] \xe2\x80\xa2 Couldn\'t match representation of type \xe2\x80\x98f A\xe2\x80\x99 with that of \xe2\x80\x98f B\xe2\x80\x99\n arising from a use of \xe2\x80\x98coerce\xe2\x80\x99\n NB: We cannot know what roles the parameters to \xe2\x80\x98f\xe2\x80\x99 have;\n we must assume that the role is nominal\n\xe2\x80\xa2 In the expression: coerce $ a @f\n In an equation for \xe2\x80\x98b\xe2\x80\x99: b = coerce $ a @f\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Relevant bindings include\n b :: f B -> f B\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n问题与类型构造函数参数的“角色”以及角色推断的工作方式有关。就我们的目的而言,角色有两种:“代表性”和“非代表性”。同样出于我们的目的,两者之间的差异可以近似如下:F :: Type -> Type如果存在 的实例,则类型构造函数具有“代表性”角色的参数Representational F,其中:
type Representational :: (Type -> Type) -> Constraint\ntype Representational f = forall x y. Coercible x y => Coercible (f x) (f y)\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n否则, 的参数F是非代表性的。
类型检查器允许您在不同的位置注释类型参数的角色(尽管很奇怪,不是那种类型)。遗憾的是,没有办法注释高级类型变量的角色。然而,我们能做的就是直接要求Representational f:
b\' :: forall f. Representational f => f B -> f B\nb\' = coerce $ a @f\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n现在进行类型检查。这提出了一种调整Traversable类型类以使其可通过强制导出的可能方法。
现在让我们看看操作的Traversable类型sequenceA:
type Representational :: (Type -> Type) -> Constraint\ntype Representational f = forall x y. Coercible x y => Coercible (f x) (f y)\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n注意:又出现了令人讨厌的情况forall f,意思f是具有名义角色的类型参数。
要做DerivingVia的是尝试coerce:
b\' :: forall f. Representational f => f B -> f B\nb\' = coerce $ a @f\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n和:
\nclass Traversable t\n where\n sequenceA :: forall f. Applicative f => forall a. t (f a) -> f (t a)\n {- ... -}\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n尽管T1( FoonessOf Bar) 和T2( Bar) 是“参数化”可强制转换的,但这种强制转换将会失败,因为整个操作的强制转换最终会分解为类型检查器抱怨的强制转换:
sequenceA @T1 :: forall f. Applicative f => forall a. T1 (f a) -> f (T2 a)\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n正如我们所讨论的,这不起作用,因为f\ 的参数被认为具有名义角色。
与上面的简化示例一样,修复方法很简单:只需询问Representational f:
sequenceA @T2 :: forall f. Applicative f => forall a. T2 (f a) -> f (T2 a)\nRun Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)\n现在我们终于可以Traversable\'通过以下方式派生出一个实例FoonessOf Bar:
