To answer the second question (under the assumption that you want
phantom-type style Vectors and not GADT-style):
Now I like to define non-empty vectors. The phantom parameter for the
length shall refer to the actual vector length, not to length-1, for
consistency between possibly empty and non-empty vectors.
I have modified your code as follows:
{-# LANGUAGE Rank2Types #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
module PositiveNat where
import Data.Proxy (Proxy(Proxy))
import GHC.TypeLits
(Nat, SomeNat(SomeNat), KnownNat, someNatVal, natVal,
type (<=), type (+))
data Vector (n :: Nat) a = Vector a [a]
withVector ::
forall a b.
a -> [a] ->
(forall n . (KnownNat n, 1<=n) => Vector n a -> b) -> b
withVector x xs f =
case someNatVal $ toInteger $ length xs of
Nothing -> error "static/dynamic mismatch"
Just (SomeNat (_ :: Proxy m)) -> f (Vector x xs :: Vector (m+1) a)
vecLen :: forall n . KnownNat n => Vector n Integer -> Integer
vecLen _ = natVal (Proxy :: Proxy n)
-- > withVector vecLen [1,2,3,4]
-- 4
GHC-7.8 complains with:
PositiveNat.hs:23:40:
Could not deduce ((1 GHC.TypeLits.<=? (n + 1)) ~ 'True)
from the context (KnownNat n)
bound by a pattern with constructor
SomeNat :: forall (n :: Nat). KnownNat n => Proxy n ->
SomeNat,
in a case alternative
at PositiveNat.hs:23:13-34
In the expression: f (Vector x xs :: Vector (m + 1) a)
In a case alternative:
Just (SomeNat (_ :: Proxy m))
-> f (Vector x xs :: Vector (m + 1) a)
In the expression:
case someNatVal $ toInteger $ length xs of {
Nothing -> error "static/dynamic mismatch"
Just (SomeNat (_ :: Proxy m))
-> f (Vector x xs :: Vector (m + 1) a) }
How can I convince GHC that n+1 is always at least 1?
When I remove the (1<=n) constraint, I still get:
PositiveNat.hs:23:40:
Could not deduce (KnownNat (n + 1)) arising from a use of âfâ
from the context (KnownNat n)
bound by a pattern with constructor
SomeNat :: forall (n :: Nat). KnownNat n => Proxy n ->
SomeNat,
in a case alternative
at PositiveNat.hs:23:13-34
In the expression: f (Vector x xs :: Vector (m + 1) a)
In a case alternative:
Just (SomeNat (_ :: Proxy m))
-> f (Vector x xs :: Vector (m + 1) a)
In the expression:
case someNatVal (toInteger (length xs)) of {
Nothing -> error "static/dynamic mismatch"
Just (SomeNat (_ :: Proxy m))
-> f (Vector x xs :: Vector (m + 1) a) }
That is, I also have to convince GHC, that if (KnownNat n) then (n+1) is
also KnownNat. How to do that?
