how would that impact compilation time? (using the bytecode versions?)
It'd increase it a bit because we'd have to generate and retain the bytecode. The factors are: * we only need to do it for sets of modules involving TH & QQ * we could do it just for the modules that are dependencies of modules using TH * however we may have to run the pipeline twice because the bytecode generator cannot handle -O results (because of unboxed tuples etc). Though in principle we only need to do that for when you build with -O, and it doesn't have to re-run all stages. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8696#comment:20 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
