MonadCont done right
From HaskellWiki
The Cont class MonadCont [1] defined in the monad template library [2] could be improved if you are willing to use rank two polymorphism [3].
Notice the change in the signature ofcallCC
callCC
callCC
1 Possible Implementation
newtype Cont r a = Cont { runCont :: ((a -> r) -> r) } -- r is the final result type of the whole computation class (Monad m) => MonadCont m where callCC :: ((a -> (forall b. m b)) -> m a) -> m a instance Monad (Cont r) where return a = Cont (\k -> k a) -- i.e. return a = \k -> k a (Cont c) >>= f = Cont (\k -> c (\a -> runCont (f a) k)) -- i.e. c >>= f = \k -> c (\a -> f a k) instance MonadCont (Cont r) where callCC f = Cont (\k -> runCont (f (\a -> Cont (\_ -> k a))) k)
2 Alternative Implementation
This implementation has the advantage that it provides a polymorphic version ofcallCC
Control.Monad.Cont
shift
reset
{-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts -fno-warn-unused-binds -cpp #-} module ContExts ( callCC', shift, reset, shiftT, resetT, ) where import Control.Monad.Cont -- Cont' m a is the type of a continuation expecting an a within the -- continuation monad Cont m type Cont' m a = forall r. a -> m r callCC' :: forall a m. MonadCont m => (Cont' m a -> m a) -> m a #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ > 602 callCC' f = callCC f' where #else callCC' (f :: ((a -> (forall b. m b)) -> m a) ) = callCC f' where #endif f' :: (a -> m (EmptyMonad m)) -> m a f' g = f g' where g' :: a -> m b g' = (=<<) runEmptyMonad . g -- ghc doesn't allow something like m (forall c. m c) newtype EmptyMonad m = EmptyMonad { runEmptyMonad :: forall c. m c } -- shift/reset for the Cont monad shift :: ((a -> Cont s r) -> Cont r r) -> Cont r a shift e = Cont $ \k -> e (return . k) `runCont` id reset :: Cont a a -> Cont r a reset e = return $ e `runCont` id -- shiftT/resetT for the ContT monad transformer shiftT :: Monad m => ((a -> ContT r m s) -> ContT s m s) -> ContT s m a shiftT e = ContT $ \k -> e (lift . k) `runContT` return resetT :: Monad m => ContT a m a -> ContT r m a resetT e = lift $ e `runContT` return
All of this is presumably meant to be under the MIT license, since it wants to be in the library. --SamB 22:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
