Description

Definition of propositional equality (:~:). Pattern-matching on a variable of type (a :~: b) produces a proof that a '~' b.

Since: base-4.7.0.0

The equality types

data a :~: b where infix 4 Source

Propositional equality. If a :~: b is inhabited by some terminating value, then the type a is the same as the type b. To use this equality in practice, pattern-match on the a :~: b to get out the Refl constructor; in the body of the pattern-match, the compiler knows that a ~ b.

class a ~# b => (a :: k0) ~~ (b :: k1) Source

Lifted, heterogeneous equality. By lifted, we mean that it can be bogus (deferred type error). By heterogeneous, the two types a and b might have different kinds. Because ~~ can appear unexpectedly in error messages to users who do not care about the difference between heterogeneous equality ~~ and homogeneous equality ~, this is printed as ~ unless -fprint-equality-relations is set.

data a :~~: b where infix 4 Source

Kind heterogeneous propositional equality. Like :~:, a :~~: b is inhabited by a terminating value if and only if a is the same type as b.
