GHC code generation

In an exchange of ideas with a friend, this question arose: [[ I've been looking at GHC, and it looks like it has generates machine code directly rather than via C--. I know that Simon Peyton Jones (famous in the Haskell world) is one of the authors of C--, but I can find no direct connection between this and GHC or Haskell. Have you any idea where I might find this connection? ]] In my discussion with him, I had assumed that GHC generates code via C-- and a version of the GCC compiler (why else is GCC part of the GHC installation?). Can anyone shed any light or pointers? Thanks. #g ------------ Graham Klyne GK@NineByNine.org
