- about formatted error messages (I am sure you guys don't care), could someone build a light GHC front end that given a .hs/.lhs file produces two XML files with specified DTD, the parsed structure and the error messages?
I would really appreciate that. I am the one maintaining EclipseFP now and I know that having the syntax-tree in XML format would help us a lot. For now, we use our own Haskell parser (written in Java). It is not a full parser (and maybe it'll never be), but it allows us to do some tricks like showing a simple code outline and do some code assistance. Maybe this isn't as much work as structuring the error messages. Cheers, Thiago Arrais
