Description

This module defines `Uniplate` / `Biplate` instances for every type with a `Data` instance. Using GHC, Data can be derived automatically with:

    data Expr = Var Int | Neg Expr | Add Expr Expr
                deriving (Data,Typeable)

All the Uniplate operations defined in Data.Generics.Uniplate.Operations can be used. If you are working with abstract data types, such as `Map` or `Set` from the `containers` package, you may also need to use the data types defined in Data.Generics.Uniplate.Data.Instances.

For faster performance (5x faster, but requires writing instances) switch to Data.Generics.Uniplate.Direct. If you get instance conflicts when using both `Data` and `Direct`, switch to Data.Generics.Uniplate.DataOnly.

The instances are faster than GHC because they precompute a table of useful information, then use this information when performing the traversals. Sometimes it is not possible to compute the table, in which case this library will perform about the same speed as SYB.

Setting the environment variable `$UNIPLATE_VERBOSE` has the following effects:

- `-1` - raise a program error every time construction of the table fails
- `0` (or unset) - never print any messages or raise any errors
- `1` - give a message every time a table is computed
- `2` - give a message when table computation fails

The `$UNIPLATE_VERBOSE` environment variable must be set before the first call to uniplate.

Synopsis

- module Data.Generics.Uniplate.Operations
- transformBis :: Data a => [[Transformer]] -> a -> a
- data Transformer
- transformer :: Data a => (a -> a) -> Transformer

# Documentation

module Data.Generics.Uniplate.Operations

transformBis :: Data a => [[Transformer]] -> a -> a #

Apply a sequence of transformations in order. This function obeys the equivalence:

    transformBis [[transformer f],[transformer g],...] == transformBi f . transformBi g . ...

Each item of type `[Transformer]` is applied in turn, right to left. Within each `[Transformer]`, the individual `Transformer` values may be interleaved.

The implementation will attempt to perform fusion, and avoid walking any part of the data structure more than necessary. To further improve performance, you may wish to partially apply the first argument, which will calculate information about the relationship between the transformations.

data Transformer #

transformer :: Data a => (a -> a) -> Transformer #

Wrap up a `(a -> a)` transformation function, to use with `transformBis`
