Re: [Haskell-iPhone] Can we patch official GHC to make iOS development easier?

All, This is a quick note to let everyone know that Luke and I are working in earnest right now to get the iOS compiler integrated into mainline GHC, and I've submitted our first patch: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7690 Our work in progress can be seen in the master-merge-ios branch at https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc Steve On 12/02/13 17:21, Luke Iannini wrote:

Hi guys,

I have some more time to work on ghc-ios this month and would love to pitch in however I can.

What's left?

From what I can tell GHC HEAD is basically good to go for full-featured ARM systems and there's thus likely some duplicated effort in the ghc-ios branch, but there are also some iPhone specific things like the iPhoneLookupAdjustor that are still unique to ghc-ios. https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc/blob/ios/compiler/deSugar/DsForeign.lhs#L665

I'll probably have another go at reconciling the original ghc-ios patches with ghc HEAD, but if anyone has any recent thoughts I'd love to hear them.

(and just in case it helps generate some extra excitement, I have distributed-process/Cloud Haskell compiling via ghc-ios and running fantastically on iPads and iPhones speaking to EC2 servers, it's great fun : ))

Cheers Luke

Andrew,

I'm intending to do just that, when I can find the time (soon). You can work with me on it if you like.
