-- The Typeable class reifies types to some extent by associating type
-- representations to types. These type representations can be compared,
-- and one can in turn define a type-safe cast operation. To this end,
-- an unsafe cast is guarded by a test for type (representation)
-- equivalence. The module Data.Dynamic uses Typeable for an
-- implementation of dynamics. The module Data.Generics uses Typeable
-- and type-safe cast (but not dynamics) to support the \"Scrap your
-- boilerplate\" style of generic programming.

	-- 
	-- returns "(Foo,Foo,Foo)"
	--
	-- The TypeRep Show instance promises to print tuple types
	-- correctly. Tuple type constructors are specified by a 
	-- sequence of commas, e.g., (mkTyCon ",,,,") returns
	-- the 5-tuple tycon.

----------------- Construction --------------------

-- | Applies a type constructor to a sequence of types
mkTyConApp  :: TyCon -> [TypeRep] -> TypeRep
mkTyConApp tc@(TyCon tc_k _) args 
  = TypeRep (appKeys tc_k arg_ks) tc args

    arg_ks = [k | TypeRep k _ _ <- args]

-- | A special case of 'mkTyConApp', which applies the function 
-- type constructor to a pair of types.
mkFunTy  :: TypeRep -> TypeRep -> TypeRep
mkFunTy f a = mkTyConApp funTc [f,a]

-- | Splits a type constructor application
splitTyConApp :: TypeRep -> (TyCon,[TypeRep])
splitTyConApp (TypeRep _ tc trs) = (tc,trs)

-- | Applies a type to a function type.  Returns: @'Just' u@ if the
-- first argument represents a function of type @t -> u@ and the
-- second argument represents a function of type @t@.  Otherwise,
-- returns 'Nothing'.
funResultTy :: TypeRep -> TypeRep -> Maybe TypeRep
funResultTy trFun trArg
  = case splitTyConApp trFun of
      (tc, [t1,t2]) | tc == funTc && t1 == trArg -> Just t2
      _ -> Nothing

-- | Adds a TypeRep argument to a TypeRep.
mkAppTy :: TypeRep -> TypeRep -> TypeRep
mkAppTy (TypeRep tr_k tc trs) arg_tr
  = let (TypeRep arg_k _ _) = arg_tr
     in  TypeRep (appKey tr_k arg_k) tc (trs++[arg_tr])

-- If we enforce the restriction that there is only one
-- @TyCon@ for a type & it is shared among all its uses,
-- we can map them onto Ints very simply. The benefit is,
-- of course, that @TyCon@s can then be compared efficiently.

-- Provided the implementor of other @Typeable@ instances
-- takes care of making all the @TyCon@s CAFs (toplevel constants),
-- this will work. 

-- If this constraint does turn out to be a sore thumb, changing
-- the Eq instance for TyCons is trivial.

-- | Builds a 'TyCon' object representing a type constructor.  An
-- implementation of "Data.Typeable" should ensure that the following holds:
--
-- >  mkTyCon "a" == mkTyCon "a"
--

mkTyCon :: String	-- ^ the name of the type constructor (should be unique
			-- in the program, so it might be wise to use the
			-- fully qualified name).
	-> TyCon	-- ^ A unique 'TyCon' object
mkTyCon str = TyCon (mkTyConKey str) str

--	The Typeable class
--
-------------------------------------------------------------

-- | The class 'Typeable' allows a concrete representation of a type to
-- be calculated.
class Typeable a where
  typeOf :: a -> TypeRep
  -- ^ Takes a value of type @a@ and returns a concrete representation
  -- of that type.  The /value/ of the argument should be ignored by
  -- any instance of 'Typeable', so that it is safe to pass 'undefined' as
  -- the argument.


-------------------------------------------------------------
--
--		Type-safe cast
--
-------------------------------------------------------------

-- | The type-safe cast operation
cast :: (Typeable a, Typeable b) => a -> Maybe b
cast x = r
       where
	 r = if typeOf x == typeOf (fromJust r)
               then Just $ unsafeCoerce x
	       else Nothing


-- | A convenient variation for kind "* -> *"
castss :: (Typeable a, Typeable b) => t a -> Maybe (t b)
castss x = r
       where
	 r = if typeOf (get x) == typeOf (get (fromJust r))
               then Just $ unsafeCoerce x
	       else Nothing
         get :: t c -> c
	 get = undefined


-- | Another variation
castarr :: (Typeable a, Typeable b, Typeable c, Typeable d)
        => (a -> t b) -> Maybe (c -> t d)
castarr x = r
       where
	 r = if typeOf (get x) == typeOf (get (fromJust r))
               then Just $ unsafeCoerce x
	       else Nothing
         get :: (e -> t f) -> (e, f)
	 get = undefined

{-

The variations castss and castarr are arguably not really needed.
Let's discuss castss in some detail. To get rid of castss, we can
require "Typeable (t a)" and "Typeable (t b)" rather than just
"Typeable a" and "Typeable b". In that case, the ordinary cast would
work. Eventually, all kinds of library instances should become
Typeable. (There is another potential use of variations as those given
above. It allows quantification on type constructors.
