[Haskell-cafe] Function returning the type of its argument.
It is not possible in Haskell, moreover it seems to be too alien to Haskell. Nevertheless, is there an extension which would allow to write a function that returns the type of its argument? ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Sounds like you want typeOf. http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/Data-Typeable.html#v:typeOf But be sure you *really* need this (or ask us if in doubt). -- Roman I.

For the most part, Haskell types are known statically at compile time. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
