Currently: Your only option is to use GHC API if you want type checking. I can't help you with that, sorry.

Envisioned: The function you ask for can definitely be written for haskell-src-exts, which I know you are currently using. I just need to complete my type checker for haskell-src-exts first. Which is not a small task, but one that has been started. I doubt it will be done in time for your project though, sorry.

Best regards,

Hi,

I do some pre-processing on a normal Haskell code ( -F ). The pre-processor needs to know the type of each expression. 
What are the possibilities to do so?
Can I use GHC API to employ GHC type checker? If yes, any good tutorial?
Is it too naive to think of a function, f :: String -> AnnotatedAST , that takes Haskell code and returns its corresponding abstract syntax tree annotated with types?
  
Thanks,
