No, there should not be a need for specifying result type. In fact, if you specify "Type" as result type, you explicitly ask for not having any exported operation. That wasn't the intent. The intent was to get whatever the right hand side exported as exports. Such as in

macro --gdr, Tue, 27 May 2008 08:01:39 -0700 reply

But, the use of macro is a workaround a fundamental problem in the compiler -- which I'm desperately trying to convey.

explicit exports --gdr, Tue, 27 May 2008 08:03:19 -0700 reply

This and the original bug comes from the same source in the compiler.

Re: problem in the compiler --Bill Page, Tue, 27 May 2008 08:06:29 -0700 reply

I agree. I am just trying to understand it.

Why does:

  Maybe(T: Type) == Union(T,"failed")

and:

  Maybe(T: Type):Type == Union(T,"failed")

have such different semantics? Is this a good thing? Maybe there is a need for something that stands for the type of the rhs:

  Maybe(T: Type):rhs == Union(T,"failed")

Re: problem in the compiler --gdr, Tue, 27 May 2008 09:20:19 -0700 reply

Remember that Type is a category that exports no operation. so when you say Maybe(T: Type): Type, you are exlicitly saying that Maybe(T: Type) is a domain constructor that exports no operation. Indeed, if you try )show with OpenAxiom?, you will see that it say, Maybe has no exported operations. Which is right.

However, when one says Maybe(T: Type) == Union(T, "failed"), one is saying that Maybe(T) is exactly like Union(T,"failed"), except for the name. Consequently, Maybe has the exports inferred from the right hand side. This works for all domains, except the `builtin' domains. If you try Record or Enumeration, you should hit a bug in the compiler at some point.

Maybe(T:Type)== --Bill Page, Tue, 27 May 2008 13:37:18 -0700 reply

gdr wrote:

one is saying that Maybe(T) is exactly like Union(T,"failed")

What is the advantage of this notation over the use of a macro?

Besides domain composition, constant substitution and passing of parameters, like:

  Maybe(T: Type) == Union(Fraction T,"failed")

what other useful expressions are allowed on the rhs?

Persumably add would not make sense because we cannot specify new exports - at least not without explicitly specifying all exports.

This is a common problem for possible re-use of code (subject of another thread). For example:

   NonNegativeInteger():rhs
     without
       _-:(%,%) -> %
     with
       subtractIfCan:(%,%)->Union(%,"failed")
   == Integer add
     subtractIfCan(x,y) ==
       x > y => x-y
       "failed"

What should I put instead of rhs? Should I be able to explicitly "forget" (or replace) some exports?

A macro name is not a constructor name, so that makes a fundamental difference.

Do we have a `without' construct?

With an OpenAxiom? built on May 16, 2008 I have a different behaviour: The assignment is rejected because there is no conversion from [-1,2] to MyPair2(INT). Which is right. The output of the compiler indicates to me that the website is running a very old OpenAxiom?.

Of course there is a difference to the compiler but is there a "fundamental difference" to the programmer? Does the language benefit from being able to compile domains with an identical list exports as some other domain?

I suppose here's one possible advantage:

To provide standard simplified interfaces to more complex domains defined in the library.
Macros are not stored as part of the Axiom library.

macro --gdr, Tue, 27 May 2008 16:58:18 -0700 reply

Well, as you said, macros are not stored in the databases. In OpenAxiom?, one can use constructor names as arguments to functions. That does not work with macro names -- they don't really define a new category or domain or package.

Something you can only do in OpenAxiom?! --page, Tue, 27 May 2008 17:42:52 -0700 reply

Because you can pass domains as arguments to functions:

axiom

Maybe3(T: Domain):Domain == Union(T,"failed")

   Function declaration Maybe3 : Domain -> Domain has been added to 
      workspace.

Type: Void

axiom

x:Maybe3(Integer):=-2

axiom

Compiling function Maybe3 with type Domain -> Domain

$\label{eq2}- 2$

(2)

Type: Union(Integer,...)

axiom

x:="failed"

$\label{eq3}\mbox{\tt "failed"}$

(3)

Type: Union("failed",...)

this is weird: I cannot reproduce the failure.

I can reproduce the failure --gdr, Wed, 28 May 2008 00:05:03 -0700 reply
Now, I can: I failed to copy and paste properly. And on reflection, the fact the interpreter rejected the code should have alerted me to close closer. And yes, the failure is related to the same bug.
