trait MLValueWrapper[A <: MLValueWrapper[A]] extends FutureValue
Base trait to simplify creating classes that contain a reference to a value in the Isabelle process. Classes inheriting from this trait contain an MLValue that refers to a value in the Isabelle process. (That is, unless the inheriting class specifies further fields, this is the only data carried by the class. In particular, the class will not transfer data from the Isabelle process.)
Examples of classes based on MLValueWrapper are pure.Context, pure.Thm, pure.Position.
The minimal implementation of a class based on MLValueWrapper is as follows:
final class Something private (val mlValue: MLValue[Something]) extends MLValueWrapper[Something] object Something extends MLValueWrapper.Companion[Something] { override protected val mlType: String = "Something" override protected def instantiate(mlValue: MLValue[Something]): Something = new Something(mlValue) }
Here Something
is the name of the Scala class that we want to implement, and something
is the ML type
of the corresponding values in the Isabelle process.
After importing Something.
converter, the type Something
can be
transparently used to refer to something
in the Isabelle process. E.g.,
MLValue.compileFunction[String,Something]
or MLValue(st)
for st
of type Something
or mlst.
retrieveNow for mlst
of type MLValue[Something]
.
The class Something
may be customized in several ways:
- By default, an ML value
st : something
is encoded as an exception (see the description of MLValue) asEXN st
whereEXN
is an ML exception whose name is returned by Something.exceptionName. The nameEXN
is automatically chosen and the exception declared. If this is not desired, a different exception name can be provided by defining predefinedException in the companion objectSomething
. - Arbitrary additional methods and fields can be added to the definition of the class
Something
or the companion objectSomething
. However, it should be noted that the constructor ofSomething
can only have arguments mlValue:
MLValue[Something]
and optionally an Isabelle instance and an ExecutionContext and not other user defined values. (This is because the constructor needs to be invoked by Something.instantiate which does not have access to other data.) - To implement functions that invoke ML code in the Isabelle process, it is recommended to place the compiled
values inside an
Ops
class (see OperationCollection) in the companion objectSomething
. Since the base trait MLValueWrapper.Companion already definesOps
, this needs to be done as follows:
override protected def newOps(implicit isabelle: Isabelle, ec: ExecutionContext): Ops = new Ops protected class Ops(implicit isabelle: Isabelle, ec: ExecutionContext) extends super.Ops { // Example: lazy val test: MLFunction[Something,String] = compileFunction[Something,String]("... : something -> string") }
The class Something
represents an asynchronous value. That is, it is possible to have get an instance
of Something
even if the computation computing the corresponding ML value is still ongoing or has failed.
To wait for that computation to terminate successfully, use the methods from FutureValue which Something
inherits.
Note: Another possibility for defining wrapper classes for MLValues is AdHocConverter. Classes derived using AdHocConverter cannot be customized but only minimal boilerplate is needed.

Abstract Value Members
- abstract val mlValue: MLValue[A]
An MLValue referencing
this
(in the Isabelle process).An MLValue referencing
this
(in the Isabelle process). Sincethis
is just a thin wrapper around an MLValue, mlValue carries exactly the same data asthis
and can be converted back and forth quickly (no transfer of data to/from the Isabelle process involved).Same as MLValue
(this)
, assuming the correct MLValue.Converter from the companion object forA
is imported.

Returns a future that completes when the computation of this object is complete.
Returns a future that completes when the computation of this object is complete. (Or that holds an exception if that computation throws an exception.) However, upon successful completion, the future may return an arbitrary (and thus useless) value. May be faster to implement than forceFuture because there may be already a future available but that returns the wrong value.
