Synopsis

Ix

valuederiveIx :: Name -> Q [Dec]

Generates a Ix instance declaration for the given data type or data family instance.

valuemakeRange :: Name -> Q Exp

Generates a lambda expression which behaves like range (without requiring an Ix instance).

valuemakeInRange :: Name -> Q Exp

Generates a lambda expression which behaves like inRange (without requiring an Ix instance).

deriveIx limitations

Be aware of the following potential gotchas:

  • Type variables of kind * are assumed to have Ix constraints. If this is not desirable, use makeRange or one of its cousins.

  • Generated Ix instances for poly-kinded data family instances are likely to require the use of the TypeInType extension on GHC 8.0, 8.2, or 8.4.
