-- | Data structures that can be folded.
--
-- For example, given a data type
--
-- > data Tree a = Empty | Leaf a | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a)
--
-- a suitable instance would be
--
-- > instance Foldable Tree where
-- >    foldMap f Empty = mempty
-- >    foldMap f (Leaf x) = f x
-- >    foldMap f (Node l k r) = foldMap f l `mappend` f k `mappend` foldMap f r
--
-- This is suitable even for abstract types, as the monoid is assumed
-- to satisfy the monoid laws.  Alternatively, one could define @foldr@:
--
-- > instance Foldable Tree where
-- >    foldr f z Empty = z
-- >    foldr f z (Leaf x) = f x z
-- >    foldr f z (Node l k r) = foldr f (f k (foldr f z r)) l
--
-- @Foldable@ instances are expected to satisfy the following laws:
--
-- > foldr f z t = appEndo (foldMap (Endo . f) t ) z
--
-- > foldl f z t = appEndo (getDual (foldMap (Dual . Endo . flip f) t)) z
--
-- > fold = foldMap id
--
-- > length = getSum . foldMap (Sum . const  1)
--
-- @sum@, @product@, @maximum@, and @minimum@ should all be essentially
-- equivalent to @foldMap@ forms, such as
--
-- > sum = getSum . foldMap Sum
--
-- but may be less defined.
--
-- If the type is also a 'Functor' instance, it should satisfy
--
-- > foldMap f = fold . fmap f
--
-- which implies that
--
-- > foldMap f . fmap g = foldMap (f . g)

    -- | Right-associative fold of a structure.
    --
    -- In the case of lists, 'foldr', when applied to a binary operator, a
    -- starting value (typically the right-identity of the operator), and a

    --
    -- > foldr f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == x1 `f` (x2 `f` ... (xn `f` z)...)
    --
    -- Note that, since the head of the resulting expression is produced by
    -- an application of the operator to the first element of the list,
    -- 'foldr' can produce a terminating expression from an infinite list.
    --

    -- to,

    -- | Left-associative fold of a structure.
    --
    -- In the case of lists, 'foldl', when applied to a binary
    -- operator, a starting value (typically the left-identity of the operator),
    -- and a list, reduces the list using the binary operator, from left to
    -- right:
    --
    -- > foldl f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == (...((z `f` x1) `f` x2) `f`...) `f` xn
    --
    -- Note that to produce the outermost application of the operator the
    -- entire input list must be traversed. This means that 'foldl'' will
    -- diverge if given an infinite list.
    --
    -- Also note that if you want an efficient left-fold, you probably want to
    -- use 'foldl'' instead of 'foldl'. The reason for this is that latter does
    -- not force the "inner" results (e.g. @z \`f\` x1@ in the above example)
    -- before applying them to the operator (e.g. to @(\`f\` x2)@). This results
    -- in a thunk chain @O(n)@ elements long, which then must be evaluated from
    -- the outside-in.
    --
    -- For a general 'Foldable' structure this should be semantically identical
    -- to,
    --
    -- @foldl f z = 'List.foldl' f z . 'toList'@
    --
    foldl :: (b -> a -> b) -> b -> t a -> b
    foldl f z t = appEndo (getDual (foldMap (Dual . Endo . flip f) t)) z

Suppose we define
  mapM_ f = foldr ((>>) . f) (return ())
(this is the way it used to be).

Now suppose we want to optimise the call

  mapM_ <big> (build g)
    where
  g c n = ...(c x1 y1)...(c x2 y2)....n...

GHC used to proceed like this:

  mapM_ <big> (build g)

  = { Defintion of mapM_ }
    foldr ((>>) . <big>) (return ()) (build g)

  = { foldr/build rule }
    g ((>>) . <big>) (return ())

  = { Inline g }
    let c = (>>) . <big>
        n = return ()
    in ...(c x1 y1)...(c x2 y2)....n...

The trouble is that `c`, being big, will not be inlined.  And that can
be absolutely terrible for performance, as we saw in Trac #8763.

It's much better to define

  mapM_ f = foldr c (return ())
    where
      c x k = f x >> k
      {-# INLINE c #-}

Now we get
  mapM_ <big> (build g)

  = { inline mapM_ }
    foldr c (return ()) (build g)
      where c x k = f x >> k
            {-# INLINE c #-}
            f = <big>

Notice that `f` does not inline into the RHS of `c`,
because the INLINE pragma stops it; see
Note [Simplifying inside stable unfoldings] in SimplUtils.
Continuing:

  = { foldr/build rule }
    g c (return ())
      where ...
         c x k = f x >> k
         {-# INLINE c #-}
            f = <big>

  = { inline g }
    ...(c x1 y1)...(c x2 y2)....n...
      where c x k = f x >> k
            {-# INLINE c #-}
            f = <big>
            n = return ()

      Now, crucially, `c` does inline

  = { inline c }
    ...(f x1 >> y1)...(f x2 >> y2)....n...
      where f = <big>
            n = return ()

And all is well!  The key thing is that the fragment
`(f x1 >> y1)` is inlined into the body of the builder
`g`.

Note [maximumBy/minimumBy space usage]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the type signatures of maximumBy and minimumBy were generalized to work
over any Foldable instance (instead of just lists), they were defined using
foldr1. This was problematic for space usage, as the semantics of maximumBy
and minimumBy essentially require that they examine every element of the
data structure. Using foldr1 to examine every element results in space usage
proportional to the size of the data structure. For the common case of lists,
this could be particularly bad (see Trac #10830).

For the common case of lists, switching the implementations of maximumBy and
minimumBy to foldl1 solves the issue, as GHC's strictness analysis can then
make these functions only use O(1) stack space. It is perhaps not the optimal
way to fix this problem, as there are other conceivable data structures
(besides lists) which might benefit from specialized implementations for
maximumBy and minimumBy (see
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10830#comment:26 for a further
discussion). But using foldl1 is at least always better than using foldr1, so
GHC has chosen to adopt that approach for now.
