Untrusted code

Safe Haskell

Safe vs. Trustworthy

What if untrusted code needs to do IO?

Example: hypothetical RIO monad

{-# LANGUAGE Trustworthy #-}
module RIO (RIO(), runRIO, RIO.readFile) where

-- Notice that symbol UnsafeRIO is not exported from this module!
newtype RIO a = UnsafeRIO { runRIO :: IO a }
instance Monad RIO where
return = UnsafeRIO . return
m >>= k = UnsafeRIO $ runRIO m >>= runRIO . k

-- Returns True iff access is allowed to file name
pathOK :: FilePath -> IO Bool
pathOK file = {- Implement some policy based on file name -}

readFile :: FilePath -> RIO String
readFile file = UnsafeRIO $ do
ok <- pathOK file
if ok then Prelude.readFile file else return ""
