Thanks.
Pattern matching and memory management in Haskell (or may be GHC implementation of it) is somewhat of a mystery to me. Are there any references that explains the underlying implementation?

Be careful what you ask for. This paper is 16 years old but fairly relevant. Click the "view or download" link at the bottom: "Implementing Lazy Functional Languages on Stock Hardware: The Spineless Tagless G-Machine" http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.53.3729 Justin
