Re: "Talking" with the compiler

HNBeck:

Hi,

in order to build a programming environement, it would be nice to ask the GHC about symbols etc found in a given Haskell program. I've read that GHC has a interface, which was originally intended to plug in other backends. But I've never found a detailed description or API....

Can someone help me ?

Perhaps you are talking about the external Core interface. Documentation for that is here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/ext-core.html Also, there are many -ddump-xxx options, that can give you very useful information, at any level of the compiler. Info for that is here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/flag-reference.html#... Cheers, Don
