在Agda中使用Inspect时,可能会出现类型混淆的问题。例如,如果我们有以下编码:
open import Data.Unit
data Maybe (A : Set) : Set where
just : A → Maybe A
nothing : Maybe A
postulate
inspect : {A : Set} → Maybe A → ℕ → Maybe ⊤
在上面的代码中,我们定义了Maybe类型,其中包含just和nothing两个构造函数,和一个返回类型为Maybe ⊤的inspect函数。
现在,我们尝试使用inspect来检查一个Maybe值:
open import Data.Nat
open import Data.Empty
open import Data.Unit
open import Relation.Nullary
data Maybe (A : Set) : Set where
just : A → Maybe A
nothing : Maybe A
postulate
inspect : {A : Set} → Maybe A → ℕ → Maybe ⊤
-- An example
example : (m : Maybe ℕ) → m ≡ nothing ∨ ∃[ i ∈ ℕ ] (inspect m i ≡ just tt)
example (just 0) = right (0 , tt , refl)
example (just (suc _)) = left refl
example nothing = left refl
但是,这将导致Agda发生类型混淆错误:
The type of the expression
refl : m ≡ nothing ∨ ∃[ i ∈ ℕ ] inspect m i ≡ just tt
does not match the expected type
refl : ?A
where ?A is an implicit variable
要解决这个问题,我们需要为inspect函数添加一个内部变量,以避免类型混淆。我们可以这样重写代码:
open import Data.Nat
open import Data.Empty
open import Data.Unit
open import Relation.Nullary
data Maybe (A : Set) : Set where
just : A → Maybe A
nothing : Maybe A
postulate
inspect : {A : Set} → Maybe A → (i : ℕ) → Maybe ⊤
