base-orphans Hackage version Build Status

Scope

base-orphans defines orphan instances that mimic instances available in later versions of base to a wider (older) range of compilers. base-orphans does not export anything except the orphan instances themselves and complements base-compat.

Usage

To use base-orphans, simply import Data.Orphans ().

What is covered

  • Added Applicative and Alternative instances for ReadP and ReadPrec
  • Added Eq and Ord instances for Control.Exception.ErrorCall
  • Added Eq, Ord, Read, and Show instances for data types in GHC.Generics
  • Added Monoid, Eq, Ord, Read, and Show instances for Const
  • Added Read and Show instances for Down
  • Added Eq, Ord, Read, and Show instances for ZipList
  • Added Monad instance for WrappedMonad
  • Added Data and IsList instances for Version
  • Applicative instance for strict and lazy ST
  • Bits instance for Bool
  • Generic instances for the data types in GHC.Generics
  • Generic instance for All, Any, Const, Dual, Endo, First, Last, Product, Sum, WrappedArrow, WrappedMonad, and ZipList
  • Generic1 instance for Const, Dual, First, Last, Product, Sum, WrappedArrow, WrappedMonad, and ZipList
  • Foldable instance for Either, (,) and Const
  • Functor instance for ArgOrder, OptDescr, and ArgDescr
  • Num instance for Sum and Product
  • Read instance for Fixed
  • Storable instance for Complex and Ratio
  • Traversable instance for Either, (,) and Const
  • Typeable instance for most data types and typeclasses (when possible)
