有没有更深层次的理论理由GHC无法推断出这种类型?

GHC拒绝该计划

{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
import GHC.TypeLits

data Foo = Foo
data Bar = Bar

data (:::) :: * -> * -> * where
    (:=) :: sy -> t -> sy ::: t

data Rec :: [*] -> * where
    RNil :: Rec '[]
    (:&) :: (sy ::: ty) -> Rec xs ->  Rec ((sy ::: ty) ': xs)

infix 3 :=
infixr 2 :&

baz :: Num ty => Rec [Foo ::: String, Bar ::: ty]
baz = Foo := "foo" :& Bar := 1 :& RNil

--bang :: (String, Integer)
bang = case baz of
         (Foo := a :& Bar := b :& RNil) -> (a, b)

Rec2.hs:25:44:
    Couldn't match type ‛t’ with ‛(String, Integer)’
      ‛t’ is untouchable
        inside the constraints (xs1 ~ '[] *)
        bound by a pattern with constructor
                   RNil :: Rec ('[] *),
                 in a case alternative
        at Rec2.hs:25:35-38
      ‛t’ is a rigid type variable bound by
          the inferred type of bang :: t at Rec2.hs:24:1
    Expected type: t
      Actual type: (ty, ty1)
    Relevant bindings include bang :: t (bound at Rec2.hs:24:1)
    In the expression: (a, b)
    In a case alternative: (Foo := a :& Bar := b :& RNil) -> (a, b)
    In the expression:
      case baz of { (Foo := a :& Bar := b :& RNil) -> (a, b) }

,使用类型注释,它可以正常工作。关于我在网上发现的不可接触的类型变量和GADT的所有答案都断言类型推断是不可能的,或者至少是难以处理的但是在这种情况下很明显GHC得到了类型(String, Integer),它只是拒绝统一。

答案 0 :(得分:4)

也许你原来的GADT对于那些不使用GADT的东西可能是糖,如下(有效):

{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
import GHC.TypeLits

data Foo = Foo
data Bar = Bar

data (:::) sy t = (:=) sy t

data RNil = RNil
data (:&) a b = a :& b

type family Rec (xs :: [*]) :: *
type instance Rec (x ': xs) = x :& Rec xs
type instance Rec '[] = RNil

infix 3 :=
infixr 2 :&

baz :: Num ty => Rec [Foo ::: String, Bar ::: ty]
baz = Foo := "foo" :& Bar := 1 :& RNil

bang = case baz of
         ( Foo := a :& Bar := b :& RNil) -> (a, b)
