Re: "Talking" with the compiler

Hi,

My plan is to have an API where you can request a :load of a module source (perhaps omitting the code generation steps for speed) and then request information about the module, by source location (GHC now has completely accurate source location information in its abstract datatype; we did this recently in order to support the Visual Studio work). The API will most likely be a derivative of the existing compilation manager interface: see ghc/compiler/compMan/CompManager.lhs.

What's about the HEP ? The paper at haskell.org is a little bit old, and I could not find newer information about the API or it's use. Greetings Hans
