I think I jumped the gun it a bit; it almost works, but when I try to
declare a serializer for a type with several parts e.g.
data Person = Person PackedString PackedString Int
instance (Hook Person t) => Serializer Person t where ...
If I try to call encode on any of the attributes I get;
Could not deduce (Hook PackedString t)
from the context (Serializer Person t,
Hook Person t,
Hook Person t)
Thus, I have to add a (Hook x t) constraint for every type that is part
of the given data-type. For your example try;
data D = D Int
instance (Mixin D t) => Serializer D t where
encodePrim t (D n) = "(D " ++ encode t n ++ ")"
Is there anyway of getting around this?
Thanks,
-Si.
