Re: Release plans

Feedback welcome as usual - I've probably forgotten lots of stuff on these lists.

Cheers, Simon

Hi Simon, Since you are working on the backend is there any chance that GHC could support symbol names in the heap? I tried to add this previously and failed miserably. I would be happy with a flag, such as '-debug-symbols' or somesuch, that keeps source symbol names, at least for data constructors, and possibly functions. This would be a BIG win for buddha and possibly other debugging tools. Currently I have to turn on -prof which is a bad hack. BTW Will there be any big changes to the heap representation of objects with the new backend? Cheers, Bernie.
