Dear all,
I use Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ and
Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec heavily so I made
some DrIFT rules for deriving the "obvious" instances for
class ToDoc a where toDoc :: a -> Doc
class Reader a where readerPrec :: Int -> Parser a
http://141.57.11.163/cgi-bin/cvsweb/drift/src/UserRuleToDoc.hs?rev=1.5
Still I'd like to avoid external preprocessors (for hygienic reasons,
and because they do not seem to fit well with the Cabal model)
so I'd like to investigate whether I could get the same effect
with Template Haskell (in ghc) - and what this would cost.
Perhaps someone has solved a similar problem before.
On the other hand, HaXml does need DrIFT it seems.

Hello,
Is it possible to have a TH splice in a type signature? It seems to
generate a parse error, but I thought there might be another syntax
that I'm not aware of. Thanks,
Frederik

Call For Papers
ACM SIGPLAN 2007 Workshop on
Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM'07)
Nice, France, January 15-16, 2007
(Co-located with POPL 2007)
http://www.program-transformation.org/PEPM07
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims to bring together researchers
and practitioners working in the areas of program manipulation,
partial evaluation, and program generation. PEPM focuses on
techniques, theory, tools, and applications of analysis and
manipulation of programs.
The 2007 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of
semantics-based program manipulation and continue last year's
successful effort to expand the scope of PEPM significantly beyond the
traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and specialization
and include practical applications of program transformations such as
refactoring tools, and practical implementation techniques such as
rule-based transformation systems. In addition, the scope of PEPM
covers manipulation and transformations of program and system
representations such as structural and semantic models that occur in
the context of model-driven development. In order to reach out to
practitioners, a separate category of tool demonstration papers will
be solicited.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of interest for PEPM'07 include, but are not limited to:
* Program and model manipulation techniques such as transformations
driven by rules, patterns, or analyses, partial evaluation,
specialization, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, aspect
weaving, decompilation, and obfuscation.
* Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model
manipulation such as abstract interpretation, static analysis,
binding-time analysis, dynamic analysis, constraint solving, and
type systems.
* Analysis and transformation for programs/models with advanced
features such as objects, generics, ownership types, aspects,
reflection, XML type systems, component frameworks, and
middleware.
* Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including
meta-programming, generative programming, staged computation,
and model-driven program generation and transformation.
* Application of the above techniques including experimental
studies, engineering needed for scalability, and
benchmarking. Examples of application domains include legacy
program understanding and transformation, domain-specific
language implementations, scientific computing, middleware
frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed and
web-based applications.
We especially encourage papers that break new ground including
descriptions of how program/model manipulation tools can be integrated
into realistic software development processes, descriptions of robust
tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, and new
areas of application such as rapidly evolving systems, distributed and
webbased programming including middleware manipulation, model-driven
development, and on-the-fly program adaptation driven by run-time or
statistical analysis.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Categories, Guidelines, and Proceedings
Regular Research Papers must not exceed 10 pages in ACM Proceedings
style. Tool demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages in ACM
Proceedings style, and authors will be expected to present a live
demonstration of the described tool at the workshop. Suggested topics,
evaluation criteria, and writing guidelines for both research tool
demonstration papers will be made available on the PEPM'07
Web-site. Papers should be submitted electronically via the workshop
web site. We plan to publish the workshop proceedings in the ACM
Digital Library (approval pending) and selected papers will be invited
for a journal special issue dedicated to PEPM'07.
