Re: [Haskell-cafe] ghc-api Static Semantics?

Hi Thomas, By static semantics I mean use and bind locations for every name in the AST. For example: f x = let x = x + 1 in x Should parse as something like HsMatch ("f" (HsPat "x" (1,2) (1,2)) (HsBody (HsExp (HsLet (HsMatch ("x" (8,1) (8,1)) (HsExp (HsInfix (+) (1) ("x") (12,1) (8,1)) ("x" (16,1) (8,1)))) I'm steering towards haskell-src-exts right now as the sheer complexity of the ghc-api is putting me off. I need something simple, as I can't be spending all my time learning the ghc-api and hacking it together to do what I want. It does look a bit of a mess. Just trying to do simple things like parsing a file and showing its output proved to be much more complicated than it really needed to be.

Let me know if you decide to take on this project.

We have decided to take it on. :) Chris.

Have you looked at ghc-syb-utils, which gives a neat way to print an AST?

Yes I found that yesterday!
