Changes in the Core language file syntax since GHC5.02?
Hi, I asked this in the fa.haskell newsgroup, but since this is more GHC-specific, maybe this list is a better place to ask. I am trying to learn the syntax of Core language files using the paper by Andrew Tolmach named "An External Representation for the GHC Core Language". This was a draft for the version 5.02. Have there been any improvements to the Core language definitions since that version and during the v6.0 implementation? Are they summarized in a document? Or maybe a fresher version of the paper is available? Thanks, -- Dmitry M. Golubovsky South Lyon, MI

For a very up-to-date document on what External Core looks like, check out cvs, or go to: http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/ and look at: fptools/ghc/compiler/parser/ParserCore.y or: fptools/ghc/compiler/coreSyn/PprExternalCore.lhs also: fptools/ghc/utils/ext-core/* I found these quite useful. -- Don
