ghc-typelits-natnormalise
A type checker plugin for GHC that can solve equalities and inequalities
of types of kind Nat
, where these types are either:
- Type-level naturals
- Type variables
- Applications of the arithmetic expressions
(+,-,*,^)
.
It solves these equalities by normalising them to sort-of
SOP
(Sum-of-Products) form, and then perform a
simple syntactic equality.
For example, this solver can prove the equality between:
(x + 2)^(y + 2)
and
4*x*(2 + x)^y + 4*(2 + x)^y + (2 + x)^y*x^2
Because the latter is actually the SOP
normal form
of the former.
To use the plugin, add
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fplugin GHC.TypeLits.Normalise #-}
To the header of your file.

erroneously deemed hard insoluable, a contradiction, whenC
is some type family other than +,-,*,^

commutes in some contexts on GHC 8.6.3 - Fixes #28: Using the solver seems to break GHC

0.7 August 26th 2019
- Require KnownNat constraints when solving with constants
0.6.2 July 10th 2018
- Add support for GHC 8.6.1-alpha1
- Solve larger inequalities from smaller inequalities, e.g.
a <= n
impliesa <= n + 1
0.6.1 May 9th 2018
- Stop solving
x + y ~ a + b
by asking GHC to solvex ~ a
andy ~ b
as this leads to a situation where we find a solution that is not the most general. - Stop using the smallest solution to an inequality to solve an equality, as this leads to finding solutions that are not the most general.
- Solve smaller inequalities from larger inequalities, e.g.
1 <= 2*x
implies1 <= x
x + 2 <= y
impliesx <= y
and2 <= y
0.6 April 23rd 2018
- Solving constraints with
a-b
will emitb <= a
constraints. e.g. solvingn-1+1 ~ n
will emit a1 <= n
constraint.- If you need subtraction to be treated as addition with a negated operarand
run with
-fplugin-opt GHC.TypeLits.Normalise:allow-negated-numbers
, and theb <= a
constraint won’t be emitted. Note that doing so can lead to unsound behaviour.
- If you need subtraction to be treated as addition with a negated operarand
run with
- Try to solve equalities using smallest solution of inequalities:
- Solve
x + 1 ~ y
using1 <= y
=>x + 1 ~ 1
=>x ~ 0
- Solve
- Solve inequalities using simple transitivity rules:
2 <= x
implies1 <= x
x <= 9
impliesx <= 10
- Solve inequalities using simple monotonicity of addition rules:
2 <= x
implies2 + 2*x <= 3*x
- Solve inequalities using simple monotonicity of multiplication rules:
1 <= x
implies1 <= 3*x
- Solve inequalities using simple monotonicity of exponentiation rules:
1 <= x
implies2 <= 2^x
- Solve inequalities using powers of 2 and monotonicity of exponentiation:
2 <= x
implies2^(2 + 2*x) <= 2^(3*x)
