我一直在试用Vinyl 包,它使用类型级别的种类来创建具有字段级别多态性和自动提供镜头的记录结构。这两个功能对我的项目来说都非常方便,因为前者允许记录结构是彼此的子类型而不会发生名称冲突,而后者则大大简化了嵌套结构的更新。
问题来自序列化结果结构。通常我使用 Data.DeriveTH 自动派生 Binary 实例,但它似乎无法处理这些结构。以下代码
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds, TypeOperators #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts, NoMonomorphismRestriction #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeSynonymInstances, FlexibleInstances #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
import Data.Vinyl
import Data.Binary
import Data.DeriveTH
eID = Field :: "eID" ::: Int
location = Field :: "location" ::: (Double, Double)
type Entity = Rec
[ "eID" ::: Int
, "location" ::: (Double, Double)
]
$(derive makeBinary ''Entity)
导致 GHCI 中出现此错误
Exception when trying to run compile-time code:
Could not convert Dec to Decl
TySynD Main.Entity [] (AppT (ConT Data.Vinyl.Rec.Rec) (AppT (AppT PromotedConsT (AppT (AppT (ConT Data.Vinyl.Field.:::) (LitT (StrTyLit "eID"))) (ConT GHC.Types.Int))) (AppT (AppT PromotedConsT (AppT (AppT (ConT Data.Vinyl.Field.:::) (LitT (StrTyLit "location"))) (AppT (AppT (TupleT 2) (ConT GHC.Types.Double)) (ConT GHC.Types.Double)))) PromotedNilT)))
Language/Haskell/Convert.hs:(37,14)-(40,8): Non-exhaustive patterns in case
Code: derive makeBinary ''Entity
Failed, modules loaded: none.
这似乎与 Derive Convert 模块中的这段代码有关:
instance Convert TH.Dec HS.Decl where
conv x = case x of
DataD cxt n vs con ds -> f DataType cxt n vs con ds
NewtypeD cxt n vs con ds -> f NewType cxt n vs [con] ds
where
f t cxt n vs con ds = DataDecl sl t (c cxt) (c n) (c vs) (c con) []
现在我真的不知道如何阅读 Template Haskell,所以我在这里无法取得太大进展。我突然想到,我提供的是类型同义词而不是数据类型,这可能会破坏它,所以我尝试将它包装在一个新类型中:
newtype Entity2 = Entity2 {entity :: Entity}
$(derive makeBinary ''Entity2)
这导致了这个更加迟钝的错误:
Exception when trying to run compile-time code:
Could not convert Type to Type
AppT (AppT PromotedConsT (AppT (AppT (ConT Data.Vinyl.Field.:::) (LitT (StrTyLit "eID"))) (ConT GHC.Types.Int))) (AppT (AppT PromotedConsT (AppT (AppT (ConT Data.Vinyl.Field.:::) (LitT (StrTyLit "location"))) (AppT (AppT (TupleT 2) (ConT GHC.Types.Double)) (ConT GHC.Types.Double)))) PromotedNilT)
Could not convert Type to Type
AppT PromotedConsT (AppT (AppT (ConT Data.Vinyl.Field.:::) (LitT (StrTyLit "eID"))) (ConT GHC.Types.Int))

PromotedConsT
Language/Haskell/Convert.hs:(71,5)-(80,26): Non-exhaustive patterns in function conv
查看 Convert.hs 我们有
instance Convert TH.Type HS.Type where
conv (ForallT xs cxt t) = TyForall (Just $ c xs) (c cxt) (c t)
conv (VarT x) = TyVar $ c x
conv (ConT x) | ',' `elem` show x = TyTuple Boxed []
| otherwise = TyCon $ c x
conv (AppT (AppT ArrowT x) y) = TyFun (c x) (c y)
conv (AppT ListT x) = TyList $ c x
conv (TupleT _) = TyTuple Boxed []
conv (AppT x y) = case c x of
TyTuple b xs -> TyTuple b $ xs ++ [c y]
x -> TyApp x $ c y
现在我猜测问题出在 GHC 7.6 引入了 Derive 模板 Haskell 没有考虑到的新语言结构,从而导致了非详尽的模式。
所以我的问题是,是否有一些方法可以通过添加到 Derive 或从 Vinyl 记录类型编写我自己的派生,或类似的东西?如果乙烯基的好处不得不与手写所有序列化进行权衡,那将是一种耻辱。
