haskell - 冲突教程示例中“纯”关键字的用途是什么？

Question

在 Clash 官网上，有如下例子：

>>> sampleN @System 4 (register 0 (pure (8 :: Signed 8)))

我知道什么是纯函数，但为什么这里有这个关键字？如果我删除它，我会收到一个错误：

Clash.Prelude> sampleN @System 4 (register 0 (8 :: Signed 8))

<interactive>:2:32: error:
    * Couldn't match expected type `Signal System a'
                  with actual type `Signed 8'
    * In the second argument of `register', namely `(8 :: Signed 8)'
      In the third argument of `sampleN', namely
        `(register 0 (8 :: Signed 8))'
      In the expression: sampleN @System 4 (register 0 (8 :: Signed 8))
    * Relevant bindings include it :: [a] (bound at <interactive>:2:1)

有什么线索吗？

Answer 1

Signal有一个属于Applicativewhich的实例pure。pure :: a -> Signal dom a将类型的值提升Signed 8为Signal dom (Signed 8). 在这种情况下与结合Signal System a导致Signal System (Signed 8).
