simpler way to integrante new backends? I worked at Haskell.NET project in the past, when we integrated successfully a .NET code generator to GHC 6.2.2.
Do you have any documentation or papers or anything about your .NET codegen? Is it the same (somewhat bitrotted) ILX codegen that exists in the current GHC tree? I'm actually working on a new GHC backend too and would be interested seeing yours.
in GHC's code! I haven't yet figured out how to call the .NET code generator from GHC 6.6.1's main function.
You'll probably want to look at hscCompile in main/HscMain.lhs. From there you can pick up either the Core, Core-Prepped, or STG representation of the module and pass it off to your backend. If by chance you want the C-- rep (although that probably won't be too useful for a .NET backend) you'll want codeOutput in main/CodeOutput.lhs. -Brian
