Martin's beautiful idea:
We can use the Aldor extend
construct to add MyMonoid(...)
as
a category to a previously defined domain.
aldor
#include "axiom"
MyMonoid(T: Type, m: (T, T) -> T): Category == with {
square:T -> T;
coerce:T -> OutputForm;
default {
-- This hack for output only works for domains that
-- have a representation known to Lisp.
coerce(x:T):OutputForm == x pretend OutputForm;
square(t: T): T == m(t,t)
}
}

This is what Axiom sees:
fricas
)sh MyMonoid
The )show system command is used to display information about types
or partial types. For example, )show Integer will show
information about Integer .
MyMonoid is not the name of a known type constructor. If you want
to see information about any operations named MyMonoid , issue
)display operations MyMonoid
fricas
)sh MyWord
The )show system command is used to display information about types

information about Integer .
MyWord is not the name of a known type constructor. If you want

)display operations MyWord
Try it:
fricas
a := "Bingo"::MyWord
MyWord is not a valid type.
That's pretty cool that Axiom knows MyWord
is a MyMonoid
!
But:
fricas
MyWord has MyMonoid(MyWord, d)
MyWord is not a valid type.
Oops, that's not cool! :( Aldor and the Axiom interpreter
ought to be able to do better than this.
Here are some more examples:
aldor
#include "axiom"
#library MyMonoid "mymonoid.ao";
import from MyMonoid;
MyInt: with {
coerce: Integer -> %;
+:(%, %) -> %;
}
== add {

import from Integer;
coerce(a: Integer): % == per(a);
(a:%) + (b:%):% == per(rep(a)+rep(b))
}
import from MyInt;

This is very general. Notice that we can rename the monoid
operation from * to +!
aldor
#include "axiom"
#library MyMonoid "mymonoid.ao";
import from MyMonoid;
MyFloat: with {

Type
Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type,
or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.
The results show that the Aldor compiler treats a domain (R) and an element of a domain (n) differently in terms of information retained for the has
operation. Had the Type
in R: Type
been replaced by Symbol
and the lines defining x, y removed, all results would have been true
. Notice here, contrary to Ralf's example, both the DirProdCat
and DirProd
constructors totally ignored the parameters. The two constructions DirProd(2,x)
and DirProd(2,y)
are really identical in implemetation. So the only information to distinguish DirProdCat(2,x)
and DirProdCat(2,y)
must have come from the declaration of the parameters (on the left of :
).
