<div class="paragraph"><p><a href="StandardML">Standard ML</a> does not support ad hoc polymorphism.  This\r
presents a challenge to programmers.  The problem is that at first\r
glance there seems to be no practical way to implement something like\r
a function for converting a value of any type to a string or a\r
function for computing a hash value for a value of any type.\r
Fortunately there are ways to implement type-indexed values in SML as\r
discussed in <a href="References#Yang98">Yang98</a>.  Various articles such as\r
<a href="References#Danvy98">Danvy98</a>, <a href="References#Ramsey11">Ramsey11</a>, <a href="References#Elsman04">Elsman04</a>,\r
<a href="References#Kennedy04">Kennedy04</a>, and <a href="References#Benton05">Benton05</a> also contain examples of\r
type-indexed values.</p></div>\r
<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The technique used in the following example uses an early (and\r
somewhat broken) variation of the basic technique used in an\r
experimental generic programming library (see\r
<a href="https://github.com/MLton/mltonlib/blob/master/com/ssh/generic/unstable/README"><span class="monospaced">README</span></a>) that can\r
be found from the MLton repository.  The generic programming library\r
also includes a more advanced generic pretty printing function (see\r
<a href="https://github.com/MLton/mltonlib/blob/master/com/ssh/generic/unstable/public/value/pretty.sig"><span class="monospaced">pretty.sig</span></a>).</p></div>\r

<h2 id="_example_converting_any_sml_value_to_roughly_sml_syntax">Example: Converting any SML value to (roughly) SML syntax</h2>\r
<div class="sectionbody">\r
<div class="paragraph"><p>Consider the problem of converting any SML value to a textual\r
presentation that matches the syntax of SML as closely as possible.\r
One solution is a type-indexed function that maps a given type to a\r
function that maps any value (of the type) to its textual\r
presentation.  A type-indexed function like this can be useful for a\r
variety of purposes.  For example, one could use it to show debugging\r
information.  We&#8217;ll call this function "<span class="monospaced">show</span>".</p></div>\r
<div class="paragraph"><p>We&#8217;ll do a fairly complete implementation of <span class="monospaced">show</span>.  We do not\r
distinguish infix and nonfix constructors, but that is not an\r
intrinsic property of SML datatypes.  We also don&#8217;t reconstruct a type\r
name for the value, although it would be particularly useful for\r
functional values.  To reconstruct type names, some changes would be\r
needed and the reader is encouraged to consider how to do that.  A\r
more realistic implementation would use some pretty printing\r
combinators to compute a layout for the result.  This should be a\r
relatively easy change (given a suitable pretty printing library).\r
Cyclic values (through references and arrays) do not have a standard\r
textual presentation and it is impossible to convert arbitrary\r
functional values (within SML) to a meaningful textual presentation.\r
Finally, it would also make sense to show sharing of references and\r
arrays.  We&#8217;ll leave these improvements to an actual library\r
implementation.</p></div>\r
