Hi Omar, You might want to narrow your scope to one part of GHC. For example, I mostly focused on the Run Time System to be able to conduct my master's thesis. Also, you might want to start off with a tiny goal, like to fix bug XYZ. Oh, and most important of all is the Commentary, which I think of as a wiki for GHC developers. http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary Cheers, Arash On 2014-10-06 17:23, Omar Mefire wrote:
Hi,
I'm new to ghc codebase and I'm interested in stepping through the code in order to gain a better idea of how it all works.
- Is there a way to load ghc into ghci ? and debug through it ? - What are the ways experienced ghc devs step through the code ? - Any techniques you guys recommend ? - What would your advices be for a newbie to the source code ?
Thanks, Omar Mefire,
