I'm also looking for actual code for working with Core. :) The Language.Haskell.* stuff gives me a very high-level representation of Haskell source, and I'd rather work with something simple, like Core. I *suppose* I could use ghc -fvia-ext or helium -C or something like that, and then parse the file it spits out, but it feels like a long way to go when there should be shortcuts available. Another way is to rip out the code from ghc or helium that does this, but that's not so nice either :(
There is a parser, typechecker, interpreter, and printer for Core in ghc/utils/ext-core in the fptools distribution. The typechecker and interpreter don't work on Core produced by the latest version of GHC, but the parser and printer should still work OK. It's a lot easier than linking your code with code from GHC! -- Kirsten Chevalier * krc@uclink.berkeley.edu * Often in error, never in doubt
