Data.Bounded.Deriving

Contents

Description

Exports functions to mechanically derive Bounded instances.

Synopsis

Bounded

deriveBounded :: Name -> Q [Dec] #

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

makeMinBound :: Name -> Q Exp #

Generates a lambda expression which behaves like minBound (without requiring a Bounded instance).

makeMaxBound :: Name -> Q Exp #

Generates a lambda expression which behaves like maxBound (without requiring a Bounded instance).

deriveBounded limitations

Be aware of the following potential gotchas:

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