adamc@554	21 \section{Introduction}
adamc@554	22
adamc@554	23 \emph{Ur} is a programming language designed to introduce richer type system features into functional programming in the tradition of ML and Haskell. Ur is functional, pure, statically-typed, and strict. Ur supports a powerful kind of \emph{metaprogramming} based on \emph{row types}.
adamc@554	24
adamc@554	25 \emph{Ur/Web} is Ur plus a special standard library and associated rules for parsing and optimization. Ur/Web supports construction of dynamic web applications backed by SQL databases. The signature of the standard library is such that well-typed Ur/Web programs ``don't go wrong'' in a very broad sense. Not only do they not crash during particular page generations, but they also may not:
adamc@554	26
adamc@554	27 \begin{itemize}
adamc@554	28 \item Suffer from any kinds of code-injection attacks
adamc@554	29 \item Return invalid HTML
adamc@554	30 \item Contain dead intra-application links
adamc@554	31 \item Have mismatches between HTML forms and the fields expected by their handlers
adamc@554	32 \item Attempt invalid SQL queries
adamc@554	33 \item Use improper marshaling or unmarshaling in communication with SQL databases
adamc@554	34 \end{itemize}
adamc@554	35
adamc@554	36 This type safety is just the foundation of the Ur/Web methodology. It is also possible to use metaprogramming to build significant application pieces by analysis of type structure. For instance, the demo includes an ML-style functor for building an admin interface for an arbitrary SQL table. The type system guarantees that the admin interface sub-application that comes out will always be free of the above-listed bugs, no matter which well-typed table description is given as input.
adamc@554	37
adamc@554	38 The Ur/Web compiler also produces very efficient object code that does not use garbage collection. These compiled programs will often be even more efficient than what most programmers would bother to write in C.

adamc@554	42 The official web site for Ur is:

adamc@555	48 \section{Installation}
adamc@555	49
adamc@555	50 If you are lucky, then the following standard command sequence will suffice for installation, in a directory to which you have unpacked the latest distribution tarball.
adamc@555	51
adamc@555	52 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@555	53 ./configure
adamc@555	54 make
adamc@555	55 sudo make install
adamc@555	56 \end{verbatim}
adamc@555	57
adamc@555	58 Some other packages must be installed for the above to work. At a minimum, you need a standard UNIX shell, with standard UNIX tools like sed and GCC in your execution path; and MLton, the whole-program optimizing compiler for Standard ML. To build programs that access SQL databases, you also need libpq, the PostgreSQL client library. As of this writing, in the ``testing'' version of Debian Linux, this command will install the more uncommon of these dependencies:
adamc@555	59
adamc@555	60 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@555	61 apt-get install mlton libpq-dev
adamc@555	62 \end{verbatim}
adamc@555	63
adamc@555	64 It is also possible to access the modules of the Ur/Web compiler interactively, within Standard ML of New Jersey. To install the prerequisites in Debian testing:
adamc@555	65
adamc@555	66 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@555	67 apt-get install smlnj libsmlnj-smlnj ml-yacc ml-lpt
adamc@555	68 \end{verbatim}
adamc@555	69
adamc@555	70 To begin an interactive session with the Ur compiler modules, run \texttt{make smlnj}, and then, from within an \texttt{sml} session, run \texttt{CM.make "src/urweb.cm";}. The \texttt{Compiler} module is the main entry point.
adamc@555	71
adamc@555	72 To run an SQL-backed application, you will probably want to install the PostgreSQL server. Version 8.3 or higher is required.
adamc@555	73
adamc@555	74 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@555	75 apt-get install postgresql-8.3
adamc@555	76 \end{verbatim}
adamc@555	77
adamc@555	78 To use the Emacs mode, you must have a modern Emacs installed. We assume that you already know how to do this, if you're in the business of looking for an Emacs mode. The demo generation facility of the compiler will also call out to Emacs to syntax-highlight code, and that process depends on the \texttt{htmlize} module, which can be installed in Debian testing via:
adamc@555	79
adamc@555	80 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@555	81 apt-get install emacs-goodies-el
adamc@555	82 \end{verbatim}
adamc@555	83
adamc@555	84 Even with the right packages installed, configuration and building might fail to work. After you run \texttt{./configure}, you will see the values of some named environment variables printed. You may need to adjust these values to get proper installation for your system. To change a value, store your preferred alternative in the corresponding UNIX environment variable, before running \texttt{./configure}. For instance, here is how to change the list of extra arguments that the Ur/Web compiler will pass to GCC on every invocation.
adamc@555	85
adamc@555	86 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@555	87 GCCARGS=-fnested-functions ./configure
adamc@555	88 \end{verbatim}
adamc@555	89
adamc@555	90 Some OSX users have reported needing to use this particular GCCARGS value.
adamc@555	91
adamc@555	92 The Emacs mode can be set to autoload by adding the following to your \texttt{.emacs} file.
adamc@555	93
adamc@555	94 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@555	95 (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/urweb-mode")
adamc@555	96 (load "urweb-mode-startup")
adamc@555	97 \end{verbatim}
adamc@555	98
adamc@555	99 Change the path in the first line if you chose a different Emacs installation path during configuration.

adamc@556	102 \section{Command-Line Compiler}
adamc@556	103
adamc@556	104 \subsection{Project Files}
adamc@556	105
adamc@556	106 The basic inputs to the \texttt{urweb} compiler are project files, which have the extension \texttt{.urp}. Here is a sample \texttt{.urp} file.
adamc@556	107
adamc@556	108 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@556	109 database dbname=test
adamc@556	110 sql crud1.sql
adamc@556	111
adamc@556	112 crud
adamc@556	113 crud1
adamc@556	114 \end{verbatim}
adamc@556	115
adamc@556	116 The \texttt{database} line gives the database information string to pass to libpq. In this case, the string only says to connect to a local database named \texttt{test}.
adamc@556	117
adamc@556	118 The \texttt{sql} line asks for an SQL source file to be generated, giving the commands to run to create the tables and sequences that this application expects to find. After building this \texttt{.urp} file, the following commands could be used to initialize the database, assuming that the current UNIX user exists as a Postgres user with database creation privileges:
adamc@556	119
adamc@556	120 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@556	121 createdb test
adamc@556	122 psql -f crud1.sql test
adamc@556	123 \end{verbatim}
adamc@556	124
adamc@556	125 A blank line always separates the named directives from a list of modules to include in the project; if there are no named directives, a blank line must begin the file.
adamc@556	126
adamc@556	127 For each entry \texttt{M} in the module list, the file \texttt{M.urs} is included in the project if it exists, and the file \texttt{M.ur} must exist and is always included.
adamc@556	128
adamc@556	129 A few other named directives are supported. \texttt{prefix PREFIX} sets the prefix included before every URI within the generated application; the default is \texttt{/}. \texttt{exe FILENAME} sets the filename to which to write the output executable; the default for file \texttt{P.urp} is \texttt{P.exe}. \texttt{debug} saves some intermediate C files, which is mostly useful to help in debugging the compiler itself. \texttt{profile} generates an executable that may be used with gprof.
adamc@556	130
adamc@557	131 \subsection{Building an Application}
adamc@557	132
adamc@557	133 To compile project \texttt{P.urp}, simply run
adamc@557	134 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@557	135 urweb P
adamc@557	136 \end{verbatim}
adamc@558	137 The output executable is a standalone web server. Run it with the command-line argument \texttt{-h} to see which options it takes. If the project file lists a database, the web server will attempt to connect to that database on startup.
adamc@557	138
adamc@557	139 To time how long the different compiler phases run, without generating an executable, run
adamc@557	140 \begin{verbatim}
adamc@557	141 urweb -timing P
adamc@557	142 \end{verbatim}
adamc@557	143
adamc@556	144
adamc@529	145 \section{Ur Syntax}
adamc@529	146
adamc@529	147 In this section, we describe the syntax of Ur, deferring to a later section discussion of most of the syntax specific to SQL and XML. The sole exceptions are the declaration forms for tables, sequences, and cookies.
adamc@524	148
adamc@524	149 \subsection{Lexical Conventions}
adamc@524	150
adamc@524	151 We give the Ur language definition in \LaTeX $\;$ math mode, since that is prettier than monospaced ASCII. The corresponding ASCII syntax can be read off directly. Here is the key for mapping math symbols to ASCII character sequences.
adamc@524	152
adamc@524	153 \begin{center}
adamc@524	154 \begin{tabular}{rl}
adamc@524	155 \textbf{\LaTeX} & \textbf{ASCII} \\
adamc@524	156 $\to$ & \cd{->} \\
adamc@524	157 $\times$ & \cd{*} \\
adamc@524	158 $\lambda$ & \cd{fn} \\
adamc@524	159 $\Rightarrow$ & \cd{=>} \\
adamc@529	160 $\neq$ & \cd{<>} \\
adamc@529	161 $\leq$ & \cd{<=} \\
adamc@529	162 $\geq$ & \cd{>=} \\
adamc@524	163 \\
adamc@524	164 $x$ & Normal textual identifier, not beginning with an uppercase letter \\
adamc@525	165 $X$ & Normal textual identifier, beginning with an uppercase letter \\
adamc@524	166 \end{tabular}
adamc@524	167 \end{center}
adamc@524	168
adamc@525	169 We often write syntax like $e^$ to indicate zero or more copies of $e$, $e^+$ to indicate one or more copies, and $e,^$ and $e,^+$ to indicate multiple copies separated by commas. Another separator may be used in place of a comma. The $e$ term may be surrounded by parentheses to indicate grouping; those parentheses should not be included in the actual ASCII.
adamc@524	170
adamc@526	171 We write $\ell$ for literals of the primitive types, for the most part following C conventions. There are $\mt{int}$, $\mt{float}$, and $\mt{string}$ literals.
adamc@526	172
adamc@527	173 This version of the manual doesn't include operator precedences; see \texttt{src/urweb.grm} for that.
adamc@527	174
adamc@552	175 \subsection{\label{core}Core Syntax}
adamc@524	176
adamc@524	177 \emph{Kinds} classify types and other compile-time-only entities. Each kind in the grammar is listed with a description of the sort of data it classifies.
adamc@524	178 $$\begin{array}{rrcll}
adamc@524	179 \textrm{Kinds} & \kappa &::=& \mt{Type} & \textrm{proper types} \\
adamc@525	180 &&& \mt{Unit} & \textrm{the trivial constructor} \\

adamc@529	185 &&& \_\_ & \textrm{wildcard} \\
adamc@525	186 &&& (\kappa) & \textrm{explicit precedence} \\
adamc@524	187 \end{array}$$
adamc@524	188
adamc@524	189 Ur supports several different notions of functions that take types as arguments. These arguments can be either implicit, causing them to be inferred at use sites; or explicit, forcing them to be specified manually at use sites. There is a common explicitness annotation convention applied at the definitions of and in the types of such functions.
adamc@524	190 $$\begin{array}{rrcll}
adamc@524	191 \textrm{Explicitness} & ? &::=& :: & \textrm{explicit} \\
adamc@558	192 &&& ::: & \textrm{implicit}
adamc@524	193 \end{array}$$
adamc@524	194
adamc@524	195 \emph{Constructors} are the main class of compile-time-only data. They include proper types and are classified by kinds.
adamc@524	196 $$\begin{array}{rrcll}

adamc@525	224 \end{array}$$
adamc@525	225
adamc@525	226 Modules of the module system are described by \emph{signatures}.
adamc@525	227 $$\begin{array}{rrcll}

adamc@525	247 &&& X \; \mt{of} \; \tau & \textrm{unary constructor} \\
adamc@524	248 \end{array}$$
adamc@524	249
adamc@526	250 \emph{Patterns} are used to describe structural conditions on expressions, such that expressions may be tested against patterns, generating assignments to pattern variables if successful.
adamc@526	251 $$\begin{array}{rrcll}

adamc@526	264
adamc@527	265 \emph{Expressions} are the main run-time entities, corresponding to both ``expressions'' and ``statements'' in mainstream imperative languages.

adamc@528	320
adamc@528	321 There are two kinds of Ur files. A file named $M\texttt{.ur}$ is an \emph{implementation file}, and it should contain a sequence of declarations $d^$. A file named $M\texttt{.urs}$ is an \emph{interface file}; it must always have a matching $M\texttt{.ur}$ and should contain a sequence of signature items $s^$. When both files are present, the overall effect is the same as a monolithic declaration $\mt{structure} \; M : \mt{sig} \; s^* \; \mt{end} = \mt{struct} \; d^* \; \mt{end}$. When no interface file is included, the overall effect is similar, with a signature for module $M$ being inferred rather than just checked against an interface.

adamc@529	323 \subsection{Shorthands}
adamc@529	324
adamc@529	325 There are a variety of derived syntactic forms that elaborate into the core syntax from the last subsection. We will present the additional forms roughly following the order in which we presented the constructs that they elaborate into.
adamc@529	326
adamc@529	327 In many contexts where record fields are expected, like in a projection $e.c$, a constant field may be written as simply $X$, rather than $\#X$.
adamc@529	328
adamc@529	329 A record type may be written $\{(c = c,)^\}$, which elaborates to $\$[(c = c,)^]$.
adamc@529	330
adamc@533	331 The notation $[c_1, \ldots, c_n]$ is shorthand for $[c_1 = (), \ldots, c_n = ()]$.
adamc@533	332
adamc@529	333 A tuple type $(\tau_1, \ldots, \tau_n)$ expands to a record type $\{1 = \tau_1, \ldots, n = \tau_n\}$, with natural numbers as field names. A tuple pattern $(p_1, \ldots, p_n)$ expands to a rigid record pattern $\{1 = p_1, \ldots, n = p_n\}$. Positive natural numbers may be used in most places where field names would be allowed.
adamc@529	334
adamc@529	335 In general, several adjacent $\lambda$ forms may be combined into one, and kind and type annotations may be omitted, in which case they are implicitly included as wildcards. More formally, for constructor-level abstractions, we can define a new non-terminal $b ::= x \mid (x :: \kappa) \mid [c \sim c]$ and allow composite abstractions of the form $\lambda b^+ \Rightarrow c$, elaborating into the obvious sequence of one core $\lambda$ per element of $b^+$.
adamc@529	336
adamc@529	337 For any signature item or declaration that defines some entity to be equal to $A$ with classification annotation $B$ (e.g., $\mt{val} \; x : B = A$), $B$ and the preceding colon (or similar punctuation) may be omitted, in which case it is filled in as a wildcard.
adamc@529	338
adamc@529	339 A signature item or declaration $\mt{type} \; x$ or $\mt{type} \; x = \tau$ is elaborated into $\mt{con} \; x :: \mt{Type}$ or $\mt{con} \; x :: \mt{Type} = \tau$, respectively.
adamc@529	340
adamc@529	341 A signature item or declaration $\mt{class} \; x = \lambda y :: \mt{Type} \Rightarrow c$ may be abbreviated $\mt{class} \; x \; y = c$.
adamc@529	342
adamc@529	343 Handling of implicit and explicit constructor arguments may be tweaked with some prefixes to variable references. An expression $@x$ is a version of $x$ where all implicit constructor arguments have been made explicit. An expression $@@x$ achieves the same effect, additionally halting automatic resolution of type class instances. The same syntax works for variables projected out of modules and for capitalized variables (datatype constructors).
adamc@529	344
adamc@529	345 At the expression level, an analogue is available of the composite $\lambda$ form for constructors. We define the language of binders as $b ::= x \mid (x : \tau) \mid (x \; ? \; \kappa) \mid [c \sim c]$. A lone variable $x$ as a binder stands for an expression variable of unspecified type.
adamc@529	346
adamc@529	347 A $\mt{val}$ or $\mt{val} \; \mt{rec}$ declaration may include expression binders before the equal sign, following the binder grammar from the last paragraph. Such declarations are elaborated into versions that add additional $\lambda$s to the fronts of the righthand sides, as appropriate. The keyword $\mt{fun}$ is a synonym for $\mt{val} \; \mt{rec}$.
adamc@529	348
adamc@529	349 A signature item $\mt{functor} \; X_1 \; (X_2 : S_1) : S_2$ is elaborated into $\mt{structure} \; X_1 : \mt{functor}(X_2 : S_1) : S_2$. A declaration $\mt{functor} \; X_1 \; (X_2 : S_1) : S_2 = M$ is elaborated into $\mt{structure} \; X_1 : \mt{functor}(X_2 : S_1) : S_2 = \mt{functor}(X_2 : S_1) : S_2 = M$.
adamc@529	350
adamc@529	351 A declaration $\mt{table} \; x : \{(c = c,)^\}$ is elaborated into $\mt{table} \; x : [(c = c,)^]$
adamc@529	352
adamc@529	353 The syntax $\mt{where} \; \mt{type}$ is an alternate form of $\mt{where} \; \mt{con}$.
adamc@529	354
adamc@529	355 The syntax $\mt{if} \; e \; \mt{then} \; e_1 \; \mt{else} \; e_2$ expands to $\mt{case} \; e \; \mt{of} \; \mt{Basis}.\mt{True} \Rightarrow e_1 \mid \mt{Basis}.\mt{False} \Rightarrow e_2$.
adamc@529	356
adamc@529	357 There are infix operator syntaxes for a number of functions defined in the $\mt{Basis}$ module. There is $=$ for $\mt{eq}$, $\neq$ for $\mt{neq}$, $-$ for $\mt{neg}$ (as a prefix operator) and $\mt{minus}$, $+$ for $\mt{plus}$, $\times$ for $\mt{times}$, $/$ for $\mt{div}$, $\%$ for $\mt{mod}$, $<$ for $\mt{lt}$, $\leq$ for $\mt{le}$, $>$ for $\mt{gt}$, and $\geq$ for $\mt{ge}$.
adamc@529	358
adamc@529	359 A signature item $\mt{table} \; x : c$ is shorthand for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{sql\_table} \; c$. $\mt{sequence} \; x$ is short for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{sql\_sequence}$, and $\mt{cookie} \; x : \tau$ is shorthand for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{http\_cookie} \; \tau$.

adamc@530	362 \section{Static Semantics}
adamc@530	363
adamc@530	364 In this section, we give a declarative presentation of Ur's typing rules and related judgments. Inference is the subject of the next section; here, we assume that an oracle has filled in all wildcards with concrete values.
adamc@530	365
adamc@530	366 Since there is significant mutual recursion among the judgments, we introduce them all before beginning to give rules. We use the same variety of contexts throughout this section, implicitly introducing new sorts of context entries as needed.
adamc@530	367 \begin{itemize}
adamc@530	368 \item $\Gamma \vdash c :: \kappa$ assigns a kind to a constructor in a context.
adamc@530	369 \item $\Gamma \vdash c \sim c$ proves the disjointness of two record constructors; that is, that they share no field names. We overload the judgment to apply to pairs of field names as well.
adamc@531	370 \item $\Gamma \vdash c \hookrightarrow C$ proves that record constructor $c$ decomposes into set $C$ of field names and record constructors.
adamc@530	371 \item $\Gamma \vdash c \equiv c$ proves the computational equivalence of two constructors. This is often called a \emph{definitional equality} in the world of type theory.
adamc@530	372 \item $\Gamma \vdash e : \tau$ is a standard typing judgment.
adamc@534	373 \item $\Gamma \vdash p \leadsto \Gamma; \tau$ combines typing of patterns with calculation of which new variables they bind.
adamc@537	374 \item $\Gamma \vdash d \leadsto \Gamma$ expresses how a declaration modifies a context. We overload this judgment to apply to sequences of declarations, as well as to signature items and sequences of signature items.
adamc@537	375 \item $\Gamma \vdash S \equiv S$ is the signature equivalence judgment.
adamc@536	376 \item $\Gamma \vdash S \leq S$ is the signature compatibility judgment. We write $\Gamma \vdash S$ as shorthand for $\Gamma \vdash S \leq S$.
adamc@530	377 \item $\Gamma \vdash M : S$ is the module signature checking judgment.
adamc@537	378 \item $\mt{proj}(M, \overline{s}, V)$ is a partial function for projecting a signature item from $\overline{s}$, given the module $M$ that we project from. $V$ may be $\mt{con} \; x$, $\mt{datatype} \; x$, $\mt{val} \; x$, $\mt{signature} \; X$, or $\mt{structure} \; X$. The parameter $M$ is needed because the projected signature item may refer to other items from $\overline{s}$.
adamc@539	379 \item $\mt{selfify}(M, \overline{s})$ adds information to signature items $\overline{s}$ to reflect the fact that we are concerned with the particular module $M$. This function is overloaded to work over individual signature items as well.

adamc@535	655 \subsection{Declaration Typing}
adamc@535	656
adamc@535	657 We use an auxiliary judgment $\overline{y}; x; \Gamma \vdash \overline{dc} \leadsto \Gamma'$, expressing the enrichment of $\Gamma$ with the types of the datatype constructors $\overline{dc}$, when they are known to belong to datatype $x$ with type parameters $\overline{y}$.
adamc@535	658
adamc@541	659 This is the first judgment where we deal with type classes, for the $\mt{class}$ declaration form. We will omit their special handling in this formal specification. Section \ref{typeclasses} gives an informal description of how type classes influence type inference.
adamc@535	660
adamc@558	661 We presuppose the existence of a function $\mathcal O$, where $\mathcal O(M, \overline{s})$ implements the $\mt{open}$ declaration by producing a context with the appropriate entry for each available component of module $M$ with signature items $\overline{s}$. Where possible, $\mathcal O$ uses ``transparent'' entries (e.g., an abstract type $M.x$ is mapped to $x :: \mt{Type} = M.x$), so that the relationship with $M$ is maintained. A related function $\mathcal O_c$ builds a context containing the disjointness constraints found in $\overline s$.
adamc@537	662 We write $\kappa_1^n \to \kappa$ as a shorthand, where $\kappa_1^0 \to \kappa = \kappa$ and $\kappa_1^{n+1} \to \kappa_2 = \kappa_1 \to (\kappa_1^n \to \kappa_2)$. We write $\mt{len}(\overline{y})$ for the length of vector $\overline{y}$ of variables.

adamc@536	789
adamc@558	790 To simplify the judgments in this section, we assume that all signatures are alpha-varied as necessary to avoid including multiple bindings for the same identifier. This is in addition to the usual alpha-variation of locally-bound variables.
adamc@537	791
adamc@537	792 We rely on a judgment $\Gamma \vdash \overline{s} \leq s'$, which expresses the occurrence in signature items $\overline{s}$ of an item compatible with $s'$. We also use a judgment $\Gamma \vdash \overline{dc} \leq \overline{dc}$, which expresses compatibility of datatype definitions.

adamc@541	1007 \section{Type Inference}
adamc@541	1008
adamc@541	1009 The Ur/Web compiler uses \emph{heuristic type inference}, with no claims of completeness with respect to the declarative specification of the last section. The rules in use seem to work well in practice. This section summarizes those rules, to help Ur programmers predict what will work and what won't.
adamc@541	1010
adamc@541	1011 \subsection{Basic Unification}
adamc@541	1012
adamc@560	1013 Type-checkers for languages based on the Hindley-Milner type discipline, like ML and Haskell, take advantage of \emph{principal typing} properties, making complete type inference relatively straightforward. Inference algorithms are traditionally implemented using type unification variables, at various points asserting equalities between types, in the process discovering the values of type variables. The Ur/Web compiler uses the same basic strategy, but the complexity of the type system rules out easy completeness.
adamc@541	1014
adamc@560	1015 Type-checking can require evaluating recursive functional programs, thanks to the type-level $\mt{fold}$ operator. When a unification variable appears in such a type, the next step of computation can be undetermined. The value of that variable might be determined later, but this would be ``too late'' for the unification problems generated at the first occurrence. This is the essential source of incompleteness.
adamc@541	1016
adamc@541	1017 Nonetheless, the unification engine tends to do reasonably well. Unlike in ML, polymorphism is never inferred in definitions; it must be indicated explicitly by writing out constructor-level parameters. By writing these and other annotations, the programmer can generally get the type inference engine to do most of the type reconstruction work.
adamc@541	1018
adamc@541	1019 \subsection{Unifying Record Types}
adamc@541	1020
adamc@570	1021 The type inference engine tries to take advantage of the algebraic rules governing type-level records, as shown in Section \ref{definitional}. When two constructors of record kind are unified, they are reduced to normal forms, with like terms crossed off from each normal form until, hopefully, nothing remains. This cannot be complete, with the inclusion of unification variables. The type-checker can help you understand what goes wrong when the process fails, as it outputs the unmatched remainders of the two normal forms.
adamc@541	1022
adamc@541	1023 \subsection{\label{typeclasses}Type Classes}
adamc@541	1024
adamc@541	1025 Ur includes a type class facility inspired by Haskell's. The current version is very rudimentary, only supporting instances for particular types built up from abstract types and datatypes and type-level application.
adamc@541	1026
adamc@541	1027 Type classes are integrated with the module system. A type class is just a constructor of kind $\mt{Type} \to \mt{Type}$. By marking such a constructor $c$ as a type class, the programmer instructs the type inference engine to, in each scope, record all values of types $c \; \tau$ as \emph{instances}. Any function argument whose type is of such a form is treated as implicit, to be determined by examining the current instance database.
adamc@541	1028
adamc@541	1029 The ``dictionary encoding'' often used in Haskell implementations is made explicit in Ur. Type class instances are just properly-typed values, and they can also be considered as ``proofs'' of membership in the class. In some cases, it is useful to pass these proofs around explicitly. An underscore written where a proof is expected will also be inferred, if possible, from the current instance database.
adamc@541	1030
adamc@541	1031 Just as for types, type classes may be exported from modules, and they may be exported as concrete or abstract. Concrete type classes have their ``real'' definitions exposed, so that client code may add new instances freely. Abstract type classes are useful as ``predicates'' that can be used to enforce invariants, as we will see in some definitions of SQL syntax in the Ur/Web standard library.
adamc@541	1032
adamc@541	1033 \subsection{Reverse-Engineering Record Types}
adamc@541	1034
adamc@541	1035 It's useful to write Ur functions and functors that take record constructors as inputs, but these constructors can grow quite long, even though their values are often implied by other arguments. The compiler uses a simple heuristic to infer the values of unification variables that are folded over, yielding known results. Often, as in the case of $\mt{map}$-like folds, the base and recursive cases of a fold produce constructors with different top-level structure. Thus, if the result of the fold is known, examining its top-level structure reveals whether the record being folded over is empty or not. If it's empty, we're done; if it's not empty, we replace a single unification variable with a new constructor formed from three new unification variables, as in $[\alpha = \beta] \rc \gamma$. This process can often be repeated to determine a unification variable fully.
adamc@541	1036
adamc@541	1037 \subsection{Implicit Arguments in Functor Applications}
adamc@541	1038
adamc@541	1039 Constructor, constraint, and type class witness members of structures may be omitted, when those structures are used in contexts where their assigned signatures imply how to fill in those missing members. This feature combines well with reverse-engineering to allow for uses of complicated meta-programming functors with little more code than would be necessary to invoke an untyped, ad-hoc code generator.

adamc@542	1042 \section{The Ur Standard Library}
adamc@542	1043
adamc@542	1044 The built-in parts of the Ur/Web standard library are described by the signature in \texttt{lib/basis.urs} in the distribution. A module $\mt{Basis}$ ascribing to that signature is available in the initial environment, and every program is implicitly prefixed by $\mt{open} \; \mt{Basis}$.
adamc@542	1045
adamc@542	1046 Additionally, other common functions that are definable within Ur are included in \texttt{lib/top.urs} and \texttt{lib/top.ur}. This $\mt{Top}$ module is also opened implicitly.
adamc@542	1047
adamc@542	1048 The idea behind Ur is to serve as the ideal host for embedded domain-specific languages. For now, however, the ``generic'' functionality is intermixed with Ur/Web-specific functionality, including in these two library modules. We hope that these generic library components have types that speak for themselves. The next section introduces the Ur/Web-specific elements. Here, we only give the type declarations from the beginning of $\mt{Basis}$.

adamc@543	1148 To encode projection of subsets of fields in $\mt{SELECT}$ clauses, and to encode $\mt{GROUP} \; \mt{BY}$ clauses, we rely on a type family $\mt{sql\_subset}$, capturing what it means for one record of table fields to be a subset of another. The main constructor $\mt{sql\_subset}$ ``proves subset facts'' by requiring a split of a record into kept and dropped parts. The extra constructor $\mt{sql\_subset\_all}$ is a convenience for keeping all fields of a record.

adamc@560	1159 SQL expressions are used in several places, including $\mt{SELECT}$, $\mt{WHERE}$, $\mt{HAVING}$, and $\mt{ORDER} \; \mt{BY}$ clauses. They reify a fragment of the standard SQL expression language, while making it possible to inject ``native'' Ur values in some places. The arguments to the $\mt{sql\_exp}$ type family respectively give the unrestricted-availability table fields, the table fields that may only be used in arguments to aggregate functions, the available selected expressions, and the type of the expression.

adamc@544	1285
adamc@545	1286
adamc@545	1287 \subsubsection{DML}
adamc@545	1288
adamc@545	1289 The Ur/Web library also includes an embedding of a fragment of SQL's DML, the Data Manipulation Language, for modifying database tables. Any piece of DML may be executed in a transaction.
adamc@545	1290
adamc@545	1291 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@545	1292 \mt{type} \; \mt{dml} \\
adamc@545	1293 \mt{val} \; \mt{dml} : \mt{dml} \to \mt{transaction} \; \mt{unit}
adamc@545	1294 \end{array}$$
adamc@545	1295
adamc@545	1296 Properly-typed records may be used to form $\mt{INSERT}$ commands.
adamc@545	1297 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@545	1298 \mt{val} \; \mt{insert} : \mt{fields} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{sql\_table} \; \mt{fields} \\
adamc@545	1299 \hspace{.1in} \to \$(\mt{fold} \; (\lambda \mt{nm} \; (\mt{t} :: \mt{Type}) \; \mt{acc} \; [[\mt{nm}] \sim \mt{acc}] \Rightarrow [\mt{nm} = \mt{sql\_exp} \; [] \; [] \; [] \; \mt{t}] \rc \mt{acc}) \; [] \; \mt{fields}) \to \mt{dml}
adamc@545	1300 \end{array}$$
adamc@545	1301
adamc@545	1302 An $\mt{UPDATE}$ command is formed from a choice of which table fields to leave alone and which to change, along with an expression to use to compute the new value of each changed field and a $\mt{WHERE}$ clause.
adamc@545	1303 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@545	1304 \mt{val} \; \mt{update} : \mt{unchanged} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{changed} :: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \lambda [\mt{changed} \sim \mt{unchanged}] \\
adamc@545	1305 \hspace{.1in} \Rightarrow \$(\mt{fold} \; (\lambda \mt{nm} \; (\mt{t} :: \mt{Type}) \; \mt{acc} \; [[\mt{nm}] \sim \mt{acc}] \Rightarrow [\mt{nm} = \mt{sql\_exp} \; [\mt{T} = \mt{changed} \rc \mt{unchanged}] \; [] \; [] \; \mt{t}] \rc \mt{acc}) \; [] \; \mt{changed}) \\
adamc@545	1306 \hspace{.1in} \to \mt{sql\_table} \; (\mt{changed} \rc \mt{unchanged}) \to \mt{sql\_exp} \; [\mt{T} = \mt{changed} \rc \mt{unchanged}] \; [] \; [] \; \mt{bool} \to \mt{dml}
adamc@545	1307 \end{array}$$
adamc@545	1308
adamc@545	1309 A $\mt{DELETE}$ command is formed from a table and a $\mt{WHERE}$ clause.
adamc@545	1310 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@545	1311 \mt{val} \; \mt{delete} : \mt{fields} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{sql\_table} \; \mt{fields} \to \mt{sql\_exp} \; [\mt{T} = \mt{fields}] \; [] \; [] \; \mt{bool} \to \mt{dml}
adamc@545	1312 \end{array}$$
adamc@545	1313
adamc@546	1314 \subsubsection{Sequences}
adamc@546	1315
adamc@546	1316 SQL sequences are counters with concurrency control, often used to assign unique IDs. Ur/Web supports them via a simple interface. The only way to create a sequence is with the $\mt{sequence}$ declaration form.
adamc@546	1317
adamc@546	1318 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@546	1319 \mt{type} \; \mt{sql\_sequence} \\
adamc@546	1320 \mt{val} \; \mt{nextval} : \mt{sql\_sequence} \to \mt{transaction} \; \mt{int}
adamc@546	1321 \end{array}$$
adamc@546	1322
adamc@546	1323
adamc@547	1324 \subsection{XML}
adamc@547	1325
adamc@547	1326 Ur/Web's library contains an encoding of XML syntax and semantic constraints. We make no effort to follow the standards governing XML schemas. Rather, XML fragments are viewed more as values of ML datatypes, and we only track which tags are allowed inside which other tags.
adamc@547	1327
adamc@547	1328 The basic XML type family has arguments respectively indicating the \emph{context} of a fragment, the fields that the fragment expects to be bound on entry (and their types), and the fields that the fragment will bind (and their types). Contexts are a record-based ``poor man's subtyping'' encoding, with each possible set of valid tags corresponding to a different context record. The arguments dealing with field binding are only relevant to HTML forms.
adamc@547	1329 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@547	1330 \mt{con} \; \mt{xml} :: \{\mt{Unit}\} \to \{\mt{Type}\} \to \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{Type}
adamc@547	1331 \end{array}$$
adamc@547	1332
adamc@547	1333 We also have a type family of XML tags, indexed respectively by the record of optional attributes accepted by the tag, the context in which the tag may be placed, the context required of children of the tag, which form fields the tag uses, and which fields the tag defines.
adamc@547	1334 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@547	1335 \mt{con} \; \mt{tag} :: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \{\mt{Unit}\} \to \{\mt{Unit}\} \to \{\mt{Type}\} \to \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{Type}
adamc@547	1336 \end{array}$$
adamc@547	1337
adamc@547	1338 Literal text may be injected into XML as ``CDATA.''
adamc@547	1339 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@547	1340 \mt{val} \; \mt{cdata} : \mt{ctx} ::: \{\mt{Unit}\} \to \mt{use} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{string} \to \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctx} \; \mt{use} \; []
adamc@547	1341 \end{array}$$
adamc@547	1342
adamc@547	1343 There is a function for producing an XML tree with a particular tag at its root.
adamc@547	1344 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@547	1345 \mt{val} \; \mt{tag} : \mt{attrsGiven} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{attrsAbsent} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{ctxOuter} ::: \{\mt{Unit}\} \to \mt{ctxInner} ::: \{\mt{Unit}\} \\
adamc@547	1346 \hspace{.1in} \to \mt{useOuter} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{useInner} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{bindOuter} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{bindInner} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \\
adamc@547	1347 \hspace{.1in} \to \lambda [\mt{attrsGiven} \sim \mt{attrsAbsent}] \; [\mt{useOuter} \sim \mt{useInner}] \; [\mt{bindOuter} \sim \mt{bindInner}] \Rightarrow \$\mt{attrsGiven} \\
adamc@547	1348 \hspace{.1in} \to \mt{tag} \; (\mt{attrsGiven} \rc \mt{attrsAbsent}) \; \mt{ctxOuter} \; \mt{ctxInner} \; \mt{useOuter} \; \mt{bindOuter} \\
adamc@547	1349 \hspace{.1in} \to \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctxInner} \; \mt{useInner} \; \mt{bindInner} \to \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctxOuter} \; (\mt{useOuter} \rc \mt{useInner}) \; (\mt{bindOuter} \rc \mt{bindInner})
adamc@547	1350 \end{array}$$
adamc@547	1351
adamc@547	1352 Two XML fragments may be concatenated.
adamc@547	1353 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@547	1354 \mt{val} \; \mt{join} : \mt{ctx} ::: \{\mt{Unit}\} \to \mt{use_1} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{bind_1} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{bind_2} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \\
adamc@547	1355 \hspace{.1in} \to \lambda [\mt{use_1} \sim \mt{bind_1}] \; [\mt{bind_1} \sim \mt{bind_2}] \\
adamc@547	1356 \hspace{.1in} \Rightarrow \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctx} \; \mt{use_1} \; \mt{bind_1} \to \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctx} \; (\mt{use_1} \rc \mt{bind_1}) \; \mt{bind_2} \to \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctx} \; \mt{use_1} \; (\mt{bind_1} \rc \mt{bind_2})
adamc@547	1357 \end{array}$$
adamc@547	1358
adamc@547	1359 Finally, any XML fragment may be updated to ``claim'' to use more form fields than it does.
adamc@547	1360 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@547	1361 \mt{val} \; \mt{useMore} : \mt{ctx} ::: \{\mt{Unit}\} \to \mt{use_1} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{use_2} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{bind} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \lambda [\mt{use_1} \sim \mt{use_2}] \\
adamc@547	1362 \hspace{.1in} \Rightarrow \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctx} \; \mt{use_1} \; \mt{bind} \to \mt{xml} \; \mt{ctx} \; (\mt{use_1} \rc \mt{use_2}) \; \mt{bind}
adamc@547	1363 \end{array}$$
adamc@547	1364
adamc@547	1365 We will not list here the different HTML tags and related functions from the standard library. They should be easy enough to understand from the code in \texttt{basis.urs}. The set of tags in the library is not yet claimed to be complete for HTML standards.
adamc@547	1366
adamc@547	1367 One last useful function is for aborting any page generation, returning some XML as an error message. This function takes the place of some uses of a general exception mechanism.
adamc@547	1368 $$\begin{array}{l}
adamc@547	1369 \mt{val} \; \mt{error} : \mt{t} ::: \mt{Type} \to \mt{xml} \; [\mt{Body}] \; [] \; [] \to \mt{t}
adamc@547	1370 \end{array}$$

adamc@549	1373 \section{Ur/Web Syntax Extensions}
adamc@549	1374
adamc@549	1375 Ur/Web features some syntactic shorthands for building values using the functions from the last section. This section sketches the grammar of those extensions. We write spans of syntax inside brackets to indicate that they are optional.

adamc@553	1459 \section{The Structure of Web Applications}
adamc@553	1460
adamc@553	1461 A web application is built from a series of modules, with one module, the last one appearing in the \texttt{.urp} file, designated as the main module. The signature of the main module determines the URL entry points to the application. Such an entry point should have type $\mt{unit} \to \mt{transaction} \; \mt{page}$, where $\mt{page}$ is a type synonym for top-level HTML pages, defined in $\mt{Basis}$. If such a function is at the top level of main module $M$, it will be accessible at URI \texttt{/M/f}, and so on for more deeply-nested functions, as described in Section \ref{tag} below.
adamc@553	1462
adamc@553	1463 When the standalone web server receives a request for a known page, it calls the function for that page, ``running'' the resulting transaction to produce the page to return to the client. Pages link to other pages with the \texttt{link} attribute of the \texttt{a} HTML tag. A link has type $\mt{transaction} \; \mt{page}$, and the semantics of a link are that this transaction should be run to compute the result page, when the link is followed. Link targets are assigned URL names in the same way as top-level entry points.
adamc@553	1464
adamc@553	1465 HTML forms are handled in a similar way. The $\mt{action}$ attribute of a $\mt{submit}$ form tag takes a value of type $\$\mt{use} \to \mt{transaction} \; \mt{page}$, where $\mt{use}$ is a kind-$\{\mt{Type}\}$ record of the form fields used by this action handler. Action handlers are assigned URL patterns in the same way as above.
adamc@553	1466
adamc@558	1467 For both links and actions, direct arguments and local variables mentioned implicitly via closures are automatically included in serialized form in URLs, in the order in which they appear in the source code.
adamc@553	1468
adamc@553	1469
adamc@552	1470 \section{Compiler Phases}
adamc@552	1471
adamc@552	1472 The Ur/Web compiler is unconventional in that it relies on a kind of \emph{heuristic compilation}. Not all valid programs will compile successfully. Informally, programs fail to compile when they are ``too higher order.'' Compiler phases do their best to eliminate different kinds of higher order-ness, but some programs just won't compile. This is a trade-off for producing very efficient executables. Compiled Ur/Web programs use native C representations and require no garbage collection.
adamc@552	1473
adamc@552	1474 In this section, we step through the main phases of compilation, noting what consequences each phase has for effective programming.
adamc@552	1475
adamc@552	1476 \subsection{Parse}
adamc@552	1477
adamc@552	1478 The compiler reads a \texttt{.urp} file, figures out which \texttt{.urs} and \texttt{.ur} files it references, and combines them all into what is conceptually a single sequence of declarations in the core language of Section \ref{core}.
adamc@552	1479
adamc@552	1480 \subsection{Elaborate}
adamc@552	1481
adamc@552	1482 This is where type inference takes place, translating programs into an explicit form with no more wildcards. This phase is the most likely source of compiler error messages.
adamc@552	1483
adamc@552	1484 \subsection{Unnest}
adamc@552	1485
adamc@552	1486 Named local function definitions are moved to the top level, to avoid the need to generate closures.
adamc@552	1487
adamc@552	1488 \subsection{Corify}
adamc@552	1489
adamc@552	1490 Module system features are compiled away, through inlining of functor definitions at application sites. Afterward, most abstraction boundaries are broken, facilitating optimization.
adamc@552	1491
adamc@552	1492 \subsection{Especialize}
adamc@552	1493
adamc@552	1494 Functions are specialized to particular argument patterns. This is an important trick for avoiding the need to maintain any closures at runtime.
adamc@552	1495
adamc@552	1496 \subsection{Untangle}
adamc@552	1497
adamc@552	1498 Remove unnecessary mutual recursion, splitting recursive groups into strongly-connected components.
adamc@552	1499
adamc@552	1500 \subsection{Shake}
adamc@552	1501
adamc@552	1502 Remove all definitions not needed to run the page handlers that are visible in the signature of the last module listed in the \texttt{.urp} file.
adamc@552	1503
adamc@553	1504 \subsection{\label{tag}Tag}
adamc@552	1505
adamc@552	1506 Assign a URL name to each link and form action. It is important that these links and actions are written as applications of named functions, because such names are used to generate URL patterns. A URL pattern has a name built from the full module path of the named function, followed by the function name, with all pieces separated by slashes. The path of a functor application is based on the name given to the result, rather than the path of the functor itself.
adamc@552	1507
adamc@552	1508 \subsection{Reduce}
adamc@552	1509
adamc@552	1510 Apply definitional equality rules to simplify the program as much as possible. This effectively includes inlining of every non-recursive definition.
adamc@552	1511
adamc@552	1512 \subsection{Unpoly}
adamc@552	1513
adamc@552	1514 This phase specializes polymorphic functions to the specific arguments passed to them in the program. If the program contains real polymorphic recursion, Unpoly will be insufficient to avoid later error messages about too much polymorphism.
adamc@552	1515
adamc@552	1516 \subsection{Specialize}
adamc@552	1517
adamc@558	1518 Replace uses of parameterized datatypes with versions specialized to specific parameters. As for Unpoly, this phase will not be effective enough in the presence of polymorphic recursion or other fancy uses of impredicative polymorphism.
adamc@552	1519
adamc@552	1520 \subsection{Shake}
adamc@552	1521
adamc@558	1522 Here the compiler repeats the earlier Shake phase.
adamc@552	1523
adamc@552	1524 \subsection{Monoize}
adamc@552	1525
adamc@552	1526 Programs are translated to a new intermediate language without polymorphism or non-$\mt{Type}$ constructors. Error messages may pop up here if earlier phases failed to remove such features.
adamc@552	1527
adamc@552	1528 This is the stage at which concrete names are generated for cookies, tables, and sequences. They are named following the same convention as for links and actions, based on module path information saved from earlier stages. Table and sequence names separate path elements with underscores instead of slashes, and they are prefixed by \texttt{uw\_}.
adamc@552	1529 \subsection{MonoOpt}
adamc@552	1530
adamc@552	1531 Simple algebraic laws are applied to simplify the program, focusing especially on efficient imperative generation of HTML pages.
adamc@552	1532
adamc@552	1533 \subsection{MonoUntangle}
adamc@552	1534
adamc@552	1535 Unnecessary mutual recursion is broken up again.
adamc@552	1536
adamc@552	1537 \subsection{MonoReduce}
adamc@552	1538
adamc@552	1539 Equivalents of the definitional equality rules are applied to simplify programs, with inlining again playing a major role.
adamc@552	1540
adamc@552	1541 \subsection{MonoShake, MonoOpt}
adamc@552	1542
adamc@552	1543 Unneeded declarations are removed, and basic optimizations are repeated.
adamc@552	1544
adamc@552	1545 \subsection{Fuse}
adamc@552	1546
adamc@552	1547 The compiler tries to simplify calls to recursive functions whose results are immediately written as page output. The write action is pushed inside the function definitions to avoid allocation of intermediate results.
adamc@552	1548
adamc@552	1549 \subsection{MonoUntangle, MonoShake}
adamc@552	1550
adamc@552	1551 Fuse often creates more opportunities to remove spurious mutual recursion.
adamc@552	1552
adamc@552	1553 \subsection{Pathcheck}
adamc@552	1554
adamc@552	1555 The compiler checks that no link or action name has been used more than once.
adamc@552	1556
adamc@552	1557 \subsection{Cjrize}
adamc@552	1558
adamc@552	1559 The program is translated to what is more or less a subset of C. If any use of functions as data remains at this point, the compiler will complain.
adamc@552	1560
adamc@552	1561 \subsection{C Compilation and Linking}
adamc@552	1562
adamc@552	1563 The output of the last phase is pretty-printed as C source code and passed to GCC.
