2024-11-18 16:28:40 +0100 <dolio> Basically, Bar contains two words (I think), one of which is the Int# and one which is the pointer to the byte array structure.
2024-11-18 16:28:22 +0100 <Wygulmage> For what it's worth, GHC does not complain about an UNPACK pragma on a ByteArray#. And I assume that if I define my own unlifted types, I can unpack them (because they are still boxed).

2024-11-18 16:25:19 +0100 <dolio> In a manner of speaking.

2024-11-18 16:24:50 +0100 <dolio> So the ByteArray# will still be an indirection.
2024-11-18 16:24:27 +0100 <dolio> I'm not sure what you're asking. You can't unpack the ByteArray# stuff directly into the constructor of another type (to my knowledge) if that's what you mean.
2024-11-18 16:24:24 +0100 <Wygulmage> Is there a way to check by looking at the dumped .simpl file for the module?
2024-11-18 16:20:52 +0100 <Wygulmage> GC-managed reference to a memory region of metadata and bytes? Or is it a reference to ( an `Int#` and a reference to a GC managed...)?
2024-11-18 16:20:51 +0100 <Wygulmage> So here's a semirelated question: Do UNPACK pragmas do anything to UnliftedTypes? For example, my understanding is that `ByteArray#` is a reference to a GC-managed reference to a memory region of metadata and bytes. If you try to UNPACK the `ByteArray` into a lifted constructor `Bar Int# !ByteArray#` , is the result a reference to an `Int#` and a

2024-11-18 16:08:23 +0100 <Wygulmage> Anyway, that works perfectly.
2024-11-18 16:08:01 +0100 <Wygulmage> I'm pretty ignorant of view pattern syntax. I only use them when I need smart constructors in pattern synonyms.
2024-11-18 16:08:00 +0100 <dolio> If you put it all in a function, then the function won't be returning the evidence unless you give it a more complicated return type.
2024-11-18 16:07:35 +0100 <dolio> That way the Foo__ match gets you the evidence.
2024-11-18 16:07:17 +0100 <dolio> It's just using a view pattern nested under a normal pattern.
2024-11-18 16:06:59 +0100 <Wygulmage> dolio: Thank you! I did not know that was legal syntax!
2024-11-18 16:05:41 +0100 <dolio> Maybe you want `Foo u <- Foo_ (unpack -> u)`

2024-11-18 16:05:22 +0100 <Wygulmage> Does a view pattern like that not bring `Foo__` 's constraints into scope? Do I need to return something like `(# b, Refl #)` ?

2024-11-18 16:03:33 +0100 <Wygulmage> Sorry, sorry, I had messed this up at the beginning. In desperation I had changed the pattern to `Foo b <- (\ (Foo_ i) -> unpack i -> b`
2024-11-18 16:01:45 +0100 <dolio> The right type is something like `Foo a -> Witness (a ~ Bool) ...`
2024-11-18 16:00:14 +0100 <dolio> You could, but that's not the right type.
2024-11-18 15:59:58 +0100 <Wygulmage> Right. Can I give it a type like `Int# -> (a ~ Bool)=> a` ?
2024-11-18 15:59:24 +0100 <dolio> Okay, so, it only returns a Bool, not evidence that `a ~ Int`.
2024-11-18 15:59:09 +0100 <Wygulmage> `unpack :: Int# -> Bool`
2024-11-18 15:58:49 +0100 <dolio> It does in unpack. But what is the type of unpack?
2024-11-18 15:57:51 +0100 <Wygulmage> I assumed that strictly matching the GADT constructor Foo__ in the view pattern would bring the constraint into scope.
2024-11-18 15:57:12 +0100 <Wygulmage> (actually `Int# -> Bool`, if that matters.)
2024-11-18 15:57:10 +0100 <dolio> Oh I see. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It just swaps around the problem.

2024-11-18 15:55:56 +0100 <dolio> Right, but what type is `unpack`?
2024-11-18 15:55:38 +0100 <Wygulmage> type of unpack is Int -> Bool
2024-11-18 15:55:21 +0100 <Wygulmage> Sorry, so the GADT is `data Foo a where Foo__ :: Int -> Foo Bool
2024-11-18 15:55:18 +0100lol_jcarpenter2
2024-11-18 15:54:12 +0100 <dolio> Like `data Witness c a where Wit :: c => a -> Witness c a`
2024-11-18 15:53:14 +0100 <dolio> You need it to produce a type that is a Boolean with evidence that you're going to match on.
2024-11-18 15:52:43 +0100 <dolio> Presumably the problem is that it just returns a boolean, which means that it doesn't actually get you the a ~ Int evidence that you say it has.

2024-11-18 15:44:15 +0100 <k`> The GHC docs seem to imply that that's how the second set of constraints works, but I can't get the type to check.
