A compatibility layer for base

Scope

The scope of base-compat is to provide functions available in later versions of base to a wider (older) range of compilers.

In addition, successful library proposals that have been accepted to be part of upcoming versions of base are also included. This package is not intended to replace base, but to complement it.

Note that base-compat does not add any orphan instances. There is a separate package base-orphans for that.

In addition, base-compat only backports functions. In particular, we purposefully do not backport data types or type classes introduced in newer versions of base. For more info, see the Data types and type classes section.

base-compat is intentionally designed to have zero dependencies. As a consequence, there are some modules that can only be backported up to certain versions of base. If an even wider support window is desired in these scenarios, there also exists a base-compat-batteries package which augments base-compat with certain compatibility package dependencies. For more info, see the Dependencies section.

Basic usage

In your cabal file, you should have something like this:

  build-depends:      base              >= 4.3
                    , base-compat       >= 0.9.0

Then, lets say you want to use the isRight function introduced with base-4.7.0.0. Replace:

import Data.Either

with

import Data.Either.Compat

Note (1): There is no need to import both unqualified. The .Compat modules re-exports the original module.

Note (2): If a given module .Compat version is not defined, that either means that:

  • The module has not changed in recent base versions, thus no .Compat is needed.
  • The module has changed, but the changes depend on newer versions of GHC, and thus are not portable.
  • The module has changed, but those changes have not yet been merged in base-compat: patches are welcomed!

Using Prelude.Compat

If you want to use Prelude.Compat (which provides all the AMP/Traversable/Foldable changes from base-4.8.0.0), it’s best to hide Prelude, e.g.:

import Prelude ()
import Prelude.Compat

main :: IO ()
main = mapM_ print (Just 23)

Alternatively, you can use the NoImplicitPrelude language extension:

{-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-}
import Prelude.Compat

main :: IO ()
main = mapM_ print (Just 23)

Note that we use

mapM_ :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => (a -> m b) -> t a -> m ()

from Data.Foldable here, which is only exposed from Prelude since base-4.8.0.0.

Using this approach allows you to write code that works seamlessly with all versions of GHC that are supported by base-compat.

What is not covered

Data types and type classes

base-compat purposefully does not export any data types or type classes that were introduced in more recent versions of base. The main reasoning for this policy is that it is not some data types and type classes have had their APIs change in different versions of base, which makes having a consistent compatibility API for them practically impossible.

As an example, consider the FiniteBits type class. It was introduced in base-4.7.0.0 with the following API:

class Bits b => FiniteBits b where
    finiteBitSize :: b -> Int

However, in base-4.8.0.0, FiniteBits gained additional functions:

class Bits b => FiniteBits b where
    finiteBitSize :: b -> Int
    countLeadingZeros :: b -> Int   -- ^ @since 4.8.0.0
    countTrailingZeros :: b -> Int  -- ^ @since 4.8.0.0

This raises the question: how can FiniteBits be backported consistently across all versions of base? One approach is to backport the API exposed in base-4.8.0.0 on versions prior to 4.7.0.0. The problem with this is that countLeadingZeros and countTrailingZeros are not exposed in base-4.7.0.0, so instances of FiniteBits would have to be declared like this:

instance FiniteBits Foo where
    finiteBitSize = ...
#if MIN_VERSION_base(4,8,0) || !(MIN_VERSION_base(4,7,0))
    countLeadingZeros = ...
    countTrailingZeros = ...
#endif

Another approach is to backport the API from base-4.7.0.0 and to declare additional methods outside of the class:

#if MIN_VERSION_base(4,7,0) && !(MIN_VERSION_base(4,8,0))
countLeadingZeros :: FiniteBits b => b -> Int
countLeadingZeros = {- default implementation #-}
#endif

The situation is only slightly better for classes which exist across all versions of base, but have grown their API. For example, it’s tempting to define

#if !(MIN_VERSION_base(4,8,0))
displayException :: Exception e => e -> String
displayException = show
#endif

As with the previous approach, you won’t be able to define new members of the type class without CPP guards. In other words, the non-CPP approach would limit uses to the lowest common denominator.

As neither approach is a very satisfactory solution, and to embrace consistency, we do not pursue either approach. For similar reasons, we do not backport data types.

Dependencies

base-compat is designed to have zero dependencies (besides libraries that ship with GHC itself). A consequence of this choice is that there are certain modules that have a “limited” support window. An important example of this is Prelude.Compat, which backports the Semigroup class to versions of base older than 4.11 (when it was added to the Prelude). Because Semigroup was not added to base until base-4.9, base-compat cannot backport it to any earlier version of base than this.

If you would instead desire to be able to use a version of Prelude.Compat that does backport Semigroup to even older versions of base, even if it means pulling in other dependencies, then you are in luck. There also exists a base-compat-batteries package, which exposes a strict superset of the API in base-compat. base-compat-batteries has all the same modules as base-compat, but exposes more functionality on more versions of base by reexporting things from compatibility libraries whenever necessary. (For instance, base-compat-batteries exports the Semigroup class from the semigroups library when built against versions of base older than 4.9.)

Because base-compat and base-compat-batteries have the same module names, they are quite easy to switch out for one another in library projects, at the expense of having clashing names if one tries to import them in GHCi. To work around this issue, base-compat and base-compat-batteries also provide copies of each module with the suffix .Repl (for base-compat) and .Repl.Batteries (for base-compat-batteries) to give them globally unique namespaces in the event one wants to import them into GHCi.

Here is a list of compatibility libraries that base-compat-batteries depends on, paired with the things that each library backports:

Version policy

This package follows the Haskell Package Versioning Policy. As such, if a new base-compat release only adds new exports, then as a general rule, we will release it with a minor version bump. Moreover, since base-compat does not backport data type or class definitions (see the “What is not covered” section above), base-compat usually has fewer major version bumps than base itself.

An exception to the general rule about adding new exports is the Prelude.Compat module. If a new base-compat release adds any new exports, then it will always be accompanied by a major version bump, even if there are no other API changes. This is because of the special nature of Prelude.Compat, which is designed to be imported unqualified. Pre-emptively bumping the major version number is meant to signal to downstream libraries that they should check to see if the new Prelude.Compat additions will clash with identifiers of the same names in their code.

  • Backport (!?) and unsnoc to Data.List.Compat
  • Backport getSolo to Data.Tuple.Compat when building against ghc-prim-0.8.0 (GHC 9.2) or later. To backport getSolo to older versions of GHC, import Data.Tuple.Compat from base-compat-batteries instead.

  • Backport liftA2 being re-exported from Prelude.Compat.
  • Data.Tuple.Compat’s Solo API now matches what is present in Data.Tuple in base-4.18. In particular, we now re-export both the MkSolo and Solo data constructors when building with ghc-prim-0.10.0 or later, with MkSolo being preferred over Solo. If you want to backport MkSolo to earlier versions of GHC, import Data.Tuple.Compat from base-compat-batteries instead.
  • Backport traceWith, traceShowWith, and traceEventWith to Debug.Trace. Note that traceEventWith is only provided when building with base-4.5 or later, as that is the first version of base to provide the traceEvent primitive on which traceEventWith is defined.
  • Backport inits1 and tails1 to Data.List.NonEmpty.Compat.
  • Backport minusNaturalMaybe to Numeric.Natural.Compat.
  • Backport applyWhen to Data.Function.Compat.
  • Backport mapAccumM and forAccumM to Data.Traversable.Compat.
  • Backport heqT to Data.Typeable.Compat. Note that heqT is only defined when building with base-4.10 or later, as that is the first version of base to provide the primitives needed to define heqT.
  • Introduce Data.Foldable1.Compat and Data.Bifoldable1.Compat modules, which correspond to changes made in base-4.18.0.0. You may consider using base-compat-batteries instead if you want increase the range of base versions that are supported.

Changes in 0.12.3 [2023.07.12]

Changes in 0.12.2 [2022.08.11]

  • Sync with base-4.17/GHC 9.4
  • Backport (.^.), (.>>.), (.<<.), (!>>.), (!<<.), oneBits to Data.Bits.Compat
  • Backport pattern TypeRep to Type.Reflection.Compat

Changes in 0.12.1 [2021.10.30]

  • Data.Semigroup.Compat{.Repl} no longer re-exports the Option data type or the option function, as both have been removed in base-4.16.
  • Backport readBin and showBin to Numeric.Compat
  • Backport readBinP to Text.Read.Lex.Compat

Changes in 0.11.2 [2020.09.30]

  • Sync with base-4.14/GHC 8.10
  • Backport isResourceVanishedError, resourceVanishedErrorType, and isResourceVanishedErrorType to System.IO.Error.Compat.

Changes in 0.11.0 [2019.09.06]

  • Sync with base-4.13/GHC 8.8

  • Backport MonadFail(fail) to Prelude.Compat and Control.Monad.Compat.

    Because Prelude.Compat.fail now corresponds to the fail from MonadFail instead of Monad, some care is required to implement Monad.fail on pre-8.8 versions of GHC. The following template is recommended:

    import Prelude.Compat
import qualified Control.Monad      as Monad
import qualified Control.Monad.Fail as Fail

data Blah a = ...

instance Functor Blah where ...
instance Applicative Blah where ...

instance Monad.Monad Blah where
  (>>=) = ...
#if !(MIN_VERSION_base(4,13,0))
  fail = Fail.fail
#endif

instance Fail.MonadFail Blah where
  fail = ...

    This approach is also backwards-compatible with previous releases of base-compat.

    Note that the MonadFail class has only been in base since base-4.9/GHC 8.0, so accordingly, this can only be backported back to GHC 8.0. If you wish to have a version of Prelude.Compat/Control.Monad.Compat that backports MonadFail to older GHCs (by conditionally depending on the fail library), use the Prelude.Compat/Control.Monad.Compat modules from the base-compat-batteries package.

  • Introduce the Data.Type.Equality.Compat module, which re-exports Data.Type.Equality if using base-4.7/GHC-7.8 or later. If using an older version of base, this module is empty.

    If you wish to have a version of Data.Type.Equality.Compat with older GHCs (by conditionally depending on the type-equality library), use the Data.Type.Equality.Compat module from the base-compat-batteries package.

Changes in 0.10.5 [2018.10.18]

  • Enable BangPatterns in Prelude.Compat.

Changes in 0.10.4 [2018.07.03]

  • Make more modules Trustworthy. In particular, fix a regression in which Prelude.Compat was inferred as Unsafe by explicitly marking it as Trustwothy.

Changes in 0.10.3 [2018.07.02]

  • Backport the proper fixity for ($!), which was accidentally omitted in base-compat-0.10.2.

Changes in 0.10.2 [2018.07.02]

  • Sync with base-4.12/GHC 8.6

  • Backport RuntimeRep-polymorphic versions of ($!) and throw to Prelude.Compat and Control.Exception.Compat, respectively (if using base-4.10/GHC 8.2 or later).

  • Introduce the Data.Functor.Contravariant.Compat module, which reexports Data.Functor.Contravariant if using base-4.12/GHC 8.6 or later.

    See Data.Functor.Contravariant.Compat in the corresponding base-compat-batteries release for a version with a wider support window.

Changes in 0.10.1 [2018.04.10]

  • Add Data.List.NonEmpty.Compat.
  • Reexport (Data.Semigroup.<>) from Data.Monoid.Compat back to base-4.9.

Changes in 0.10.0 [2018.04.05]

  • Sync with base-4.11/GHC 8.4

  • Backport Semigroup((<>)) to Prelude.Compat.

    Note that the Semigroup class has only been in base since base-4.9/GHC 8.0, so accordingly, this can only be backported back to GHC 8.0. If you wish to have a version of Prelude.Compat that backports Semigroup to older GHCs (by conditionally depending on the semigroups library), use the Prelude.Compat module from the base-compat-batteries package.

  • Backport (<&>) to Data.Functor.Compat

  • Backport iterate' to Data.List.Compat

  • Backport showHFloat to Numeric.Compat

  • Backport a RuntimeRep-polymorphic withTypeable function to Type.Reflection.Compat. (This is only exported on base-4.10/GHC 8.2.)

  • Introduce the following modules, back until the oldest version of base that can support backporting them. If you wish to use them in conjunction with older versions of base, use the base-compat-batteries package.

    • Control.Monad.Fail.Compat (back until base-4.9/GHC 8.0)
    • Control.Monad.IO.Class.Compat (back until base-4.9/GHC 8.0)
    • Data.Bifunctor (back until base-4.8/GHC 7.10)
    • Data.Bifoldable and Data.Bitraversable (back until base-4.10/GHC 8.2)
    • Data.Functor.Compose.Compat, Data.Functor.Product.Compat, and Data.Functor.Sum.Compat (back until base-4.9/GHC 8.0)
    • Data.Functor.Identity.Compat (back until base-4.8/GHC 7.10)
    • Data.Semigroup.Compat (back until base-4.9/GHC 8.0)
    • Data.Void.Compat (back until base-4.8/GHC 7.10)
    • Numeric.Natural.Compat (back until base-4.8/GHC 7.10)

  • Introduce versions of modules with the suffix .Repl. These simply reexport the contents of their counterparts without the .Repl suffix to provide a globally unique namespace to import from in the event one wants to import base-compat modules into GHCi. (In base-compat-batteries, the corresponding suffix is .Repl.Batteries.)
