Hi,
to load an Haskell symbol at run-time is still necessary to use the load functions from the hs-plugins library (System.Plugins.Load) or is there some function in the GHC API that does the same job?
yes, definitely possible. i think Lemmih put an example on the wiki a while ago. basically, ghc-api exposes the lower level api also used by hs-plugins -- a nice project would be to provide the hs-plugins api directly in ghc-api - avoiding the need for an external hs-plugins package.

Hi Don, thanks for the answer. I checked again the http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/As_a_library page on the wiki and there are examples of interactive evaluation but I cannot find an example of loading a symbol from a compiled module. If anyone can provide one, I will be happy to test it and add it to the "GHC as a library" Wiki page. Regards, titto
