Hi,
I need to be able to take a piece of Haskell source code and get an simplified, typed, intermediate representation of the AST, which means I need to use compiler/coreSyn/CoreSyn.lhs
So I'm first trying to get the desguaredModule of the source code with ... modSum <- getModSummary $ mkModuleName "..." p <- parseModule modSum t <- typecheckModule p d <- desugarModule t
Now I'm really stuck on figuring out how to connect the variable d of type desugaredModule to compiler/coreSyn/CoreSyn.lhs to get Expr patterns like App, Let, Case, etc.
Also, is it correct to get the deguaredModule first? At least CoreSyn.lhs seems to suggest this.
Sorry for the very late reply, but have you considered using External Core? http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.1/html/users_guide/ext-core.html http://hackage.haskell.org/package/extcore IMO, it's less pain than linking with the GHC library unless your application really needs to get transformed Core back into the GHC back-end.
