I am still working on it. Some external events have slowed me down a little (research, classes, appendicitis), and it has involved more changes to the innards of GHC than anticipated, but it is still moving along. If you can wait a little while, it should be possible to use GHC. A slight extension of what I'm doing, which would probably be very useful, would be to export functions for working with external core from the GHC API.

I've tried running Happy on these files but get the error `Not enough type arguments for the type synonym "P"' when I try to run the resultant Parser.hs in Hugs and similar errors when run in GHC.

What I'm trying to achieve is to read the hcr files into a Haskell data type which I could work with, if anyone could give me any help with using the files for manipulating Core I would be very grateful.

External Core isn't currently working correctly in the HEAD. Aaron Tomb was working on this, I know (as per mailing lists posts on cvs-ghc from November and December), but I don't know if he still is.

glasgow-haskell-users is a better place to discuss this.

Your best bet if you want to be able to use External Core may be to fix it yourself. I know that's what I had to do! But, people on glasgow-haskell-users and cvs-ghc will probably be happy to discuss it with you.

Cheers, Kirsten
