The sole exceptions are the declaration forms for tables, sequences, and cookies. adamc@524: adamc@524: \subsection{Lexical Conventions} adamc@524: adamc@524: 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: adamc@524: \begin{center} adamc@524: \begin{tabular}{rl} adamc@524: \textbf{\LaTeX} & \textbf{ASCII} \\ adamc@524: $\to$ & \cd{->} \\ adamc@524: $\times$ & \cd{*} \\ adamc@524: $\lambda$ & \cd{fn} \\ adamc@524: $\Rightarrow$ & \cd{=>} \\ adamc@529: $\neq$ & \cd{<>} \\ adamc@529: $\leq$ & \cd{<=} \\ adamc@529: $\geq$ & \cd{>=} \\ adamc@524: \\ adamc@524: $x$ & Normal textual identifier, not beginning with an uppercase letter \\ adamc@525: $X$ & Normal textual identifier, beginning with an uppercase letter \\ adamc@524: \end{tabular} adamc@524: \end{center} adamc@524: adamc@525: 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: adamc@526: 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: adamc@527: This version of the manual doesn't include operator precedences; see \texttt{src/urweb.grm} for that. adamc@527: adamc@524: \subsection{Core Syntax} adamc@524: adamc@524: \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: $$\begin{array}{rrcll} adamc@524: \textrm{Kinds} & \kappa &::=& \mt{Type} & \textrm{proper types} \\ adamc@525: &&& \mt{Unit} & \textrm{the trivial constructor} \\ adamc@525: &&& \mt{Name} & \textrm{field names} \\ adamc@525: &&& \kappa \to \kappa & \textrm{type-level functions} \\ adamc@525: &&& \{\kappa\} & \textrm{type-level records} \\ adamc@525: &&& (\kappa\times^+) & \textrm{type-level tuples} \\ adamc@529: &&& \_\_ & \textrm{wildcard} \\ adamc@525: &&& (\kappa) & \textrm{explicit precedence} \\ adamc@524: \end{array}$$ adamc@524: adamc@524: 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: $$\begin{array}{rrcll} adamc@524: \textrm{Explicitness} & ? &::=& :: & \textrm{explicit} \\ adamc@525: &&& \; ::: & \textrm{implicit} adamc@524: \end{array}$$ adamc@524: adamc@524: \emph{Constructors} are the main class of compile-time-only data.

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@527: adamc@529: \subsection{Shorthands} adamc@529: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: A record type may be written $\{(c = c,)^*\}$, which elaborates to $\$[(c = c,)^*]$. adamc@529: adamc@533: The notation $[c_1, \ldots, c_n]$ is shorthand for $[c_1 = (), \ldots, c_n = ()]$. adamc@533: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: A signature item or declaration $\mt{class} \; x = \lambda y :: \mt{Type} \Rightarrow c$ may be abbreviated $\mt{class} \; x \; y = c$. adamc@529: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: A declaration $\mt{table} \; x : \{(c = c,)^*\}$ is elaborated into $\mt{table} \; x : [(c = c,)^*]$ adamc@529: adamc@529: The syntax $\mt{where} \; \mt{type}$ is an alternate form of $\mt{where} \; \mt{con}$. adamc@529: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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: adamc@529: 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@529: adamc@530: adamc@530: \section{Static Semantics} adamc@530: adamc@530: 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: adamc@530: 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: \begin{itemize} adamc@530: \item $\Gamma \vdash c :: \kappa$ assigns a kind to a constructor in a context. adamc@530: \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: \item $\Gamma \vdash c \hookrightarrow C$ proves that record constructor $c$ decomposes into set $C$ of field names and record constructors. adamc@530: \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: \item $\Gamma \vdash e : \tau$ is a standard typing judgment. adamc@534: \item $\Gamma \vdash p \leadsto \Gamma; \tau$ combines typing of patterns with calculation of which new variables they bind. adamc@537: \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: \item $\Gamma \vdash S \equiv S$ is the signature equivalence judgment. adamc@536: \item $\Gamma \vdash S \leq S$ is the signature compatibility judgment.

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: adamc@541: \subsection{Basic Unification} adamc@541: adamc@541: Type-checkers for languages based on the Hindly-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: adamc@541: 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 incompletness. adamc@541: adamc@541: 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: adamc@541: \subsection{Unifying Record Types} adamc@541: adamc@541: 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 reduce 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: adamc@541: \subsection{\label{typeclasses}Type Classes} adamc@541: adamc@541: 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: adamc@541: 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: adamc@541: 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: adamc@541: 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: adamc@541: \subsection{Reverse-Engineering Record Types} adamc@541: adamc@541: 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: adamc@541: \subsection{Implicit Arguments in Functor Applications} adamc@541: adamc@541: 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@541: adamc@541: adamc@542: \section{The Ur Standard Library} adamc@542: adamc@542: 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: adamc@542: 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: adamc@542: 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@542: $$\begin{array}{l} adamc@542: \mt{type} \; \mt{int} \\ adamc@542: \mt{type} \; \mt{float} \\ adamc@542: \mt{type} \; \mt{string} \\ adamc@542: \mt{type} \; \mt{time} \\ adamc@542: \\ adamc@542: \mt{type} \; \mt{unit} = \{\} \\ adamc@542: \\ adamc@542: \mt{datatype} \; \mt{bool} = \mt{False} \mid \mt{True} \\ adamc@542: \\ adamc@542: \mt{datatype} \; \mt{option} \; \mt{t} = \mt{None} \mid \mt{Some} \; \mt{of} \; \mt{t} adamc@542: \end{array}$$ adamc@542: adamc@542: adamc@542: \section{The Ur/Web Standard Library} adamc@542: adamc@542: \subsection{Transactions} adamc@542: adamc@542: Ur is a pure language; we use Haskell's trick to support controlled side effects.

The key aspect of the $\mt{sql\_aggregate}$ function's type is the shift of aggregate-function-only fields into unrestricted fields. adamc@544: adamc@544: $$\begin{array}{l} adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_count} : \mt{tables} ::: \{\{\mt{Type}\}\} \to \mt{agg} ::: \{\{\mt{Type}\}\} \to \mt{exps} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{sql\_exp} \; \mt{tables} \; \mt{agg} \; \mt{exps} \; \mt{int} adamc@544: \end{array}$$ adamc@544: adamc@544: $$\begin{array}{l} adamc@544: \mt{con} \; \mt{sql\_aggregate} :: \mt{Type} \to \mt{Type} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_aggregate} : \mt{tables} ::: \{\{\mt{Type}\}\} \to \mt{agg} ::: \{\{\mt{Type}\}\} \to \mt{exps} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{t} ::: \mt{Type} \\ adamc@544: \hspace{.1in} \to \mt{sql\_aggregate} \; \mt{t} \to \mt{sql\_exp} \; \mt{agg} \; \mt{agg} \; \mt{exps} \; \mt{t} \to \mt{sql\_exp} \; \mt{tables} \; \mt{agg} \; \mt{exps} \; \mt{t} adamc@544: \end{array}$$ adamc@544: adamc@544: $$\begin{array}{l} adamc@544: \mt{class} \; \mt{sql\_summable} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_summable\_int} : \mt{sql\_summable} \; \mt{int} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_summable\_float} : \mt{sql\_summable} \; \mt{float} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_avg} : \mt{t} ::: \mt{Type} \to \mt{sql\_summable} \; \mt{t} \to \mt{sql\_aggregate} \; \mt{t} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_sum} : \mt{t} ::: \mt{Type} \to \mt{sql\_summable} \mt{t} \to \mt{sql\_aggregate} \; \mt{t} adamc@544: \end{array}$$ adamc@544: adamc@544: $$\begin{array}{l} adamc@544: \mt{class} \; \mt{sql\_maxable} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_maxable\_int} : \mt{sql\_maxable} \; \mt{int} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_maxable\_float} : \mt{sql\_maxable} \; \mt{float} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_maxable\_string} : \mt{sql\_maxable} \; \mt{string} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_maxable\_time} : \mt{sql\_maxable} \; \mt{time} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_max} : \mt{t} ::: \mt{Type} \to \mt{sql\_maxable} \; \mt{t} \to \mt{sql\_aggregate} \; \mt{t} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_min} : \mt{t} ::: \mt{Type} \to \mt{sql\_maxable} \; \mt{t} \to \mt{sql\_aggregate} \; \mt{t} adamc@544: \end{array}$$ adamc@544: adamc@544: We wrap up the definition of query syntax with the types used in representing $\mt{ORDER} \; \mt{BY}$, $\mt{LIMIT}$, and $\mt{OFFSET}$ clauses. adamc@544: $$\begin{array}{l} adamc@544: \mt{type} \; \mt{sql\_direction} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_asc} : \mt{sql\_direction} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_desc} : \mt{sql\_direction} \\ adamc@544: \\ adamc@544: \mt{con} \; \mt{sql\_order\_by} :: \{\{\mt{Type}\}\} \to \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{Type} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_order\_by\_Nil} : \mt{tables} ::: \{\{\mt{Type}\}\} \to \mt{exps} :: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{sql\_order\_by} \; \mt{tables} \; \mt{exps} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_order\_by\_Cons} : \mt{tables} ::: \{\{\mt{Type}\}\} \to \mt{exps} ::: \{\mt{Type}\} \to \mt{t} ::: \mt{Type} \\ adamc@544: \hspace{.1in} \to \mt{sql\_exp} \; \mt{tables} \; [] \; \mt{exps} \; \mt{t} \to \mt{sql\_direction} \to \mt{sql\_order\_by} \; \mt{tables} \; \mt{exps} \to \mt{sql\_order\_by} \; \mt{tables} \; \mt{exps} \\ adamc@544: \\ adamc@544: \mt{type} \; \mt{sql\_limit} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_no\_limit} : \mt{sql\_limit} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_limit} : \mt{int} \to \mt{sql\_limit} \\ adamc@544: \\ adamc@544: \mt{type} \; \mt{sql\_offset} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_no\_offset} : \mt{sql\_offset} \\ adamc@544: \mt{val} \; \mt{sql\_offset} : \mt{int} \to \mt{sql\_offset} adamc@544: \end{array}$$ adamc@544: adamc@524: \end{document}
